Important Safety Instructions
18. Use Proper Power Sources – Plug the product into a
proper power source, as described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the product.
19. Avoid Power Lines – Use extreme care when installing an outside antenna system to keep from touching
power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be
fatal. Do not install external antennas near overhead
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, nor
where an antenna can fall into such circuits or power
lines.
20. Ground All Outdoor Antennas – If an external
antenna or cable system is connected to this product,
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded. This
will provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA No. 70 provides informaiton with respect to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the ground electrode.
Refer to the antenna grounding illustration on this
page.

D
– The trademarked logo for Dolby Digital, a perceptual coding system for audio, developed by Dolby Laboratories and accepted as an international standard. Dolby Digital is the
most common means of encoding audio for DVD-Video and is the mandatory audio compression system for 525/60 (NTSC) discs.
Aspect Ratio – The shape of the rectangular picture in a TV set. It is the width of the picture
relative to the height. Our standard TV picture, in terminology used by that industry, is 4 units
wide by 3 units high, or 4:3 (read as 4 by 3) in aspect ratio. There are currently two standard
TV aspect ratios in the U.S., 4:3 and 16:9.

Introduction
IR
Chapter – In DVD-Video, a division of a title. Technically called a part of title (PTT).
Component video – A video system containing three separate color component signals,
either red/green/blue (RGB) or chroma/color difference (YPbPr), in analog or digital form. The
MPEG-2 encoding system used by DVD is based on color-difference component digital
video. Most televisions do not have component video inputs.
Composite Video – A single video signal that contains luminance, color, and synchronization
information. NTSC and PAL are examples of composite video systems.
Dolby Digital 3/2.1 – A more technical representation of Dolby Digital 5.1 sound. The “3” rep-
resents the 3 front channels, and the “2.1” represents the 2 surround channels including a
LFE (low-frequency effects) channel.
DVD – An acronym that is most commonly known to mean Digital Video Disc or Digital Versa-
tile Disc. The audio/video/data storage system is based on 12-cm optical discs.
DVD Video – A standard for storing and reproducing audio and video on DVD-ROM discs,
based on MPEG video, Dolby Digital and MPEG audio, and other proprietary data formats.
– An acronym for infrared. Pertains to the type of remote that sends/receives commands
on an infrared light beam.
Letterbox – The projected aspect ratio of feature films is often wider than 525 or 625 line
video formats. It is becoming common practice to transfer films to video with black borders at
the top and bottom of the picture. The film picture becomes a “letterbox” within the video.
MP3 – MPEG-1 Layer III audio. This is a compressed audio format that allows you to record
many hours of music on a single CD.
NTSC – An acronym for National Television System Committee. The organization that devel-
oped both the American Black & White and Color television system.
PAL – An acronym for Phase Alternate Line. This is one of several composite video systems.
The PAL format is used extensively in Western Europe.
PCM – An uncompressed, digitally coded representation of an analog signal. This is the form
of the digital audio signal used for both CD and laserdisc. It is a serial data stream that is
coded for transmission or recording. PCM is also used for many other types of serial data
communications.
S-video – A video interface standard that carries separate luminance and chrominance sig-
nals, usually on a four-pin mini-DIN connector. Also called Y/C. The quality of S-video is significantly better than composite video since it does not require a comb filter to separate the
signals. Most high-end televisions have S-video inputs.
YPbPr – A component analog video signal containing one luminance and two chrominance
components. Often referred to loosely as YUV or Y, B-Y, R-Y.

The remote control
The advanced radio-frequency remote control works from anywhere within most homes. Simply press the desired button. You do not need to aim the remote at the media center.
Note: Some types of buildings create “dead spots” where the remote will not operate. Move
the remote a foot or two and try again. You can also move the media center a few feet to a
location with better remote response, or extend the media center’s power cord which contains
the antenna for the remote control.

General System Operation
Turning your system on and off
You can turn your system on and off using the On/Off button on the remote control or the
media center button panel. When you turn it on with either On/Off button, the source that
was played last is automatically selected. You can also press any source button on the
remote to turn the system on and select the source at the same time.
Making sound adjustments
Volume
System volume can be raised or lowered using the Volume ▲ ▼ buttons on the remote or the
media center button panel.
Changing the number of speakers playing
When you turn on a source, the number of speakers used for that source is automatically
determined. For example, when you select FM, the front right and left speakers are used.
When you play a DVD video, all five speakers are turned on. You can change the number of
speakers used for any source by pressing the Speakers 2-3-5 button on the remote control.
Adjusting surround sound
The sound level of the surround (rear) speakers in your system can be adjusted in small steps
using the Surround + / – buttons on your remote. In surround (5-speaker) mode, Surround+
raises the volume; Surround– lowers it.
Using the headphones jack
For private listening, you can connect a headset to the headset jack located on the right side
of the media center. When a headset is connected, all ZONE 1 speakers are muted.
Using the sleep timer
Your system includes a sleep timer which can be set to turn your system off automatically
after 10 to 90 minutes of listening to any source. This timer can be accessed through the settings menu. See “Using the settings menus” on page 21.
Changing the video output
If you connected your TV using a standard composite video cable (single cable with yellow
connectors) or an S-video cable, you do not need to change your systems video output setting. However, if you connected your TV or monitor using component video cables, you must
change the video output setting. The component video signals will then be sent out on the
composite and S-video connectors instead of the standard signals. To change the video output setting, see “Changing System Settings” on page 21.
System settings
When necessary, the system settings can be changed using the system settings menus. See
“Changing System Settings” on page 21.
