Precautions

ENG

PREPARATION

Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install your player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure the ventilation slots are not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other equipment which may become hot. Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray is empty. This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the Home Theater to the stand-by mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to disconnect the player completely from the power

supply, remove the main plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.

During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from the wall outlet.

Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.

Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases) , and excess heat

(e.g.fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i.e.speakers...). Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the player malfunctions. Your player is not intended for industrial use.

Use of this product is for personal use only.

Condensation may occur if your player or disc has been stored in cold temperatures.

If transporting the player during the winter, wait approximately 2 hours until the unit has reached room temperature before using.

Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat sources.

This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.

The batteries used with this product contain chemicals that are harmful to the environment.

Do not dispose of batteries in the general household trash.

Position of the Home Theater

Selecting the Listening Position

Place it on a stand, cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.

The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the TV. Example: For 32" TVs 2~2.4m (6~8 feet)

For 55" TVs 3.5~4m (11~13 feet)

Front Speakers L R

Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.

Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ear.

Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers.

Center Speaker C

It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers.

You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

Rear Speakers SL SR

Place these speakers behind your listening position.

If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each other.

Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing slightly downward.

*Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.

Subwoofer SW

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.

METHOD 1 Composite Video ....... (Good Quality)

-Connect the supplied video cable from the VIDEO OUT jack on the back panel of the system to the VIDEO IN jack on your TV.

METHOD 2

-If your television is equipped with Component Video inputs, connect a component video cable (not supplied) from the Pr, Pb and Y jacks on the back panel of the system to the corresponding jacks on your TV.

Note After connecting the Home Theater to your TV, set the input on your TV so the signal from the Home theater appears on your TV screen.

When the Progressive scan mode is selected, the VIDEO output do not feed any signal.

15

P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function

Unlike regular Interlace Scan, in which two fields of picture information alternate to create the entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture without visible scan lines.

1 Press STOP button.

When disc is played back, press the STOP button twice so that “STOP”, appears on the display.

2 Press and hold P.SCAN button on the remote control for over 5 seconds.

Pressing and holding the button for over 5 seconds will select "Progressive Scan" and "Interlace Scan" alternately.

When you select P.SCAN, "P.SCAN" will appear on the display.

What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?

In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field contains every other horizontal line in the frame.

The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame.

One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are displayed every 1/60th of a second.

The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing a still object.

The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of video consecutively down the screen, line by line.

An entire image is drawn at one time, as opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a video image is drawn in a series of passes.

The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing with moving objects.

ENG

CONNECTIONS

Note This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support Progressive Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive

scan TVs.)

Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.
