Introduction

Thank you for purchasing our APEX DIGITAL DVD Home Theater System with AM/FM Tuner. With it, you will be able to enjoy full length DVD movies with true cinema picture quality, and stereo multichannel sound. What’s more, Parental Control lets you decide which discs your children will be able to see. Your Player supports audio CD and the new MP3 format.

You will find your player remarkably easy to use, by way of the OnScreen Display (setup menu), player display and wireless remote control. The HT-180 has over-heat protection. When the HT-180 is used in long term and high power with poor ventilation, the unit enables the protection automatically due to over-heat.

UNPACKING

When shipping the Home Theater System, the original shipping carton and packing comes in handy. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

First check and identify the contents of your HT-180 package, as listed below:

-DVD Home Theater Tuner/Amplifier

-Remote control handset

-RCA cable (yellow, red, and white)

-Owner’s manual

-Size AAA batteries (2)

-AM loop antenna (1)

-FM wire antenna (1)

-Speakers (5)

-Subwoofer (1)

-Speaker cords (6)

If any item should be damaged or missing, please inform your dealer without delay.

NOTICE

•Turn off the power and unplug both units before setting up any connections.

•If your TV only has a cable antenna connection and no video inputs to connect your TV to the HT-180, you will need to purchase an RF adapter from your dealer. See store for details.

•Please refer to the user manual of TV.

•All the terminals indicated on the rear panel of TV is only for reference.

•Connect the unit with an optional S-Video cable if the TV has an S-Video input. The quality of the picture is better than that produced by using composite video cable.

•Connect the unit with video component output if the TV has Y, Pb and Pr input,you may obtain the optimum picture quality.

•If you connect the unit to a TV based on the figures above, please set “Downmix” to “Stereo” or “LT/RT”.

Connecting to a TV using an RF Modulator

Many older televisions do not have the newer Component-Video, Composite-Video, or S-Video connections that optimize DVD technology. While it would be advised to purchase a newer television in order to take full advantage of the digital quality of DVD’s, it is possible to connect an older television to a Home Theater System . This connection requires a device called an RF modulator.

First, it is necessary to ascertain whether or not your TV needs an RF Modulator. Look at the back of your TV. If you see three input connectors lined up in a row, in the colors of yellow, red, and white, then you will not need an RF modulator. If you see the connectors labeled “S-Video” or “Component Video”, then you will not need an RF Modulator. If you do not have either of these connectors, then you will need to purchase an RF Modulator from the store where you purchased your Apex Digital Home Theater System or other home electronics retailers.

Older televisions use a coaxial connection, which combines all of the video signal from an exterior source into a single line. This line is then translated by your TV into the picture you see. The RF modulator combines the output signals from the Home Theater System , or any other device, into the coaxial connection for use by your television.

Below are written and pictorial instructions on the proper way to connect an RF modulator to your Apex Home Theater System and your TV.

Connection 1

Connecting the TV to the unit through the Figure 1

VCR

Note: All VCRs will distort the picture of a Home Theater System . This is NOT a malfunction of the Home Theater System or VCR. All DVD manufacturers are required to install macrovision copyright circuitry to prevent copying via VCR. This is what causes the distortion.

1)Connect the three-terminal composite video cable to the back of your Apex Home Theater System . This cable has three prongs, one each in yellow, red, and white. The yellow prong will go into the jack labeled “Video Out”; the white prong will go into the jack labeled “AUDIO L OUT”; the red prong will go into the jack labeled “AUDIO R OUT”.

2)Connect the opposite end of the composite video cable into the back of the RF modulator. Make sure to match up the colors correctly.

3)Connect a coaxial cable from the “Antenna Out” jack on the back of your VCR to the “Antenna” jack on the RF modulator. The coaxial cable is the onewire, metal-ended type that you screw onto the VCR.

4)Connect a coaxial cable from the “To TV” jack on the RF modulator to the jack on the back of your TV.

5) Make sure your TV is set to the appropriate channel before using your Home Theater System . In most cases, this is channel 3 or 4.
