BEFORE YOU ST ART

Using the Remote Control

• Point the Remote Control at the REMOTE SENSOR located on the Unit.

• When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared REMOTE SENSOR may be

degraded, causing unreliable operation.

• The recommended effective distance for remote operation is about 16 feet (5 meters).

To install Batteries

1.Open the battery door.

Battery Replacement

When batteries become weak, the operating distance of the Remote Control is greatly reduced and you will need to replace the batteries.

Notes:

• If the Remote Control is not going to be used for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage caused

by battery leakage corrosion.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix ALKALINE, standard (CARBON-ZINC) or rechargeable

(NICKEL-CADMIUM) batteries.

2.Insert two "AA" or UM-3 size batteries.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc. that gives movie theatre ambience to audio output when the Unit is connected to a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel processor or amplifier. This Unit automatically recognizes DVDs that have been recorded with Dolby Digital. Not all Dolby Digital sources are recorded with 6 channels. Some sources marked Dolby Digital may be recorded in Dolby Surround, a 2 channel system. Look for this logo on your DVD Unit.

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

Movie Mode (MOVIE)

The Movie mode in Pro Logic II is very similar to that of the original Pro Logic decoder. The main difference is that it has stereo surround channels and no surround filter, unlike Pro Logic which has a mono surround channel and a 7 kHz surround filter. Movie mode is the standard required for all A/V systems. When an autosound unit has a video screen, it is also considered an A/V system. It can be called simply "Pro Logic II".

Music Mode (MUSIC)

The Music mode offers users some flexibility to control the end results to their own taste. Music mode should not be used with THX audio processing mode. Music mode is recommended as the standard mode for autosound music systems (without video), and is optional for A/V systems. It is recommended that Music mode be identified as the "Music" version of Pro Logic II, to distinguish it from the Movie mode.

Pro Logic Emulation Mode

The Pro Logic emulation mode offers users the same robust surround processing as original Pro Logic, in case the source content is not of optimum quality, or if there is a desire to hear the program more "as it used to be". When this mode is used, it is called Pro Logic, as before. There is no "Pro Logic I" mode. The Pro Logic emulation mode is optional. Dolby does not require PLII products to use the original Pro Logic decoding algorithm. However, if the DSP contains the original Pro Logic code, and if the product maker would like to use it, this is quite acceptable and even encouraged. A product must not offer both original Pro Logic and the Pro Logic emulation mode.

Matrix Mode

The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance mono signals by making them seem "larger". The Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate "cure" for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono.

DTS and DTS Digital Out are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc. This Unit does not decode DTS Digital Surround signal. To enjoy DTS Digital SurroundTM playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital SurroundTM decoder system must be connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the Main Unit.

Cut off when a wide-screen video image is played.

4:3 Pan Scan

• When wide-screen video material is played, this mode clips the right and left sides of the image so that it can be viewed on a conventional TV screen.

• Some wide-screen DVDs that do not permit Pan Scan mode playback are automatically played in letterbox mode (black bands top and bottom).

4:3 Letter Box

• When wide-screen video material is played in this mode on a conventional TV screen , black bands appear at the top and bottom of the screen.

16:9 Wide-screen

• This is the correct mode for playing wide-screen videos on a wide-screen TV.

• You must also set the screen mode on your wide-screen TV to "FULL".

The actual appearance of the image depends on the screen mode setting of your wide-screen TV.

Notes :

• The displayable picture size is preset on the DVD disc. Therefore the playback picture of some DVD discs may not conform to the picture size you select.

• When you play DVD discs recorded in the 4:3 picture size only, the playback picture always appears in the 4:3 picture size regardless of the TV shape setting.

• If you select 16:9 wide-screen mode and you own a 4:3 TV set, the DVD playback picture will be horizontally distorted during playback. Images will appear to be horizontally compressed. Always be sure that your TV shape conforms to the actual TV in use.
