ABOUT YOUR

DVD PLAYER

The following will help you get the most enjoyment from your DVD receiver system.

BEST LOCATION

The unit should be placed on a firm, flat surface, away from VCRs, stereos, radios, or large
speakers, as the magnetic flux from these devices may cause distortion in the sound and a poor
picture. If placed in a cabinet, be sure there is at least 1" of free space completely around the unit
for proper ventilation.

MP3 FUNCTION

MP3 OPERATION

An MP3 disc is an audio compression mode using Level 3 of the international standard MPEG, whereby sound
signal is compressed at a rate of 12:1. An MP3 disc can record music for playing over 600 minutes or recording
over 170 songs, rivaling CDs in sound quality.

To play an MP3 disc:

Battery Installation

1. Push down and out on the battery Compart­ ment cover to remove it.

2. Insert the two AAA batteries into the battery

""

compartment of the remote control, making
sure the + and - signs on the batteries and
inside the battery compartment match up.

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Notes:

Do not mix batteries from different manu­ facturers, nor old ones with new.
If the remote control will not be used for an
extended period of time, remove the
batteries to prevent damage-causing
corrosion.
Remove dead batteries immediately to
prevent damage-causing corrosion.
If battery leakage occurs, wipe the battery
liquid from the battery compartment, then
replace both batteries.
Always replace both batteries at the same
time, using new, fully charged batteries.
Life expectancy of batteries may vary
depending on amount of use.

Using the Remote Control
Point the remote control at the remote sensor
on the DVD receiver. When the signal is
received from the remote control, the unit will
function accordingly. The remote will operate to
approximately 16' from the remote sensor at an
angle of around 30 degrees each direction.

Notes:
Do not direct the remote sensor toward
any light source, such as direct sunlight or
a strong fluorescent light, as it may cause
the unit to not operate correctly.
When other remote controls are used
nearby or when the remote is used near
equipment using infrared rays, interference
may occur.
Placing an object on the remote control
may cause it to inadvertently depress a
button, changing a function and shortening
battery life.
Do not glaze the front of the DVD receiver
with colored glass, as it may cause
interference with normal operation of the
controller.
Make sure there is no barrier between the
remote control and remote sensor, as it
could prevent the unit from receiving the
signal.
Do not spill water or put wet items on the
remote control.
Never disassemble remote control.

BATTERIES
INCORRECT USE OF BATTERIES MAY
CAUSE THEM TO LEAK, CORRODE OR

ARRANGEMENT

OF SPEAKERS

SYSTEM SETUP

10

The configuration and arrangement of a
surround sound system's speakers is critical.
For maximum listening enjoyment, refer to the
Arrangement of Speakers section in this manual
prior to connecting speakers.

Surround Sound Speakers
Front or main right and left speakers;
center speaker

These three speakers provide extensive
sound imaging and augment the dynamic effect
of the audio. A movie's principal dialogue comes
through these speakers.

Rear or surround sound speakers

These two speakers provide 3-D dynamic
sound effects, and create an enveloping
atmosphere, as they add background sounds.
.

Subwoofer speaker

Provides rich and powerful bass, adding a
powerful dimension of realism.

Note: Audio recorded for the center speaker and
subwoofer will be assigned to the front and 3-D
rear speakers to obtain the optimum 3-D
surround sound effect.

3

2

Ideal surround sound speaker configuration
may vary according to room size and wall
material. The figure below illustrates a typical
arrangement.

Hints:

Front or main speakers and central speaker
should be placed at the same level and
oriented toward the listener's ears.
3D surround sound or rear speakers should
be placed 3' higher than the height of the
listener's ears.
Subwoofer speaker may be placed anywhere

within the room, as its location produces little
effect on a listener's sensation to sound. To
obtain the optimum bass effect, a subwoofer

r is recommended in home theater systems.
