Special features of your home cinema system
Your DVD receiver provides you with perfect digital video playback
in studio quality.
It also provides superb cinema-quality audio playback – in stereo or
with digital multi-channel sound – depending on the type of DVD or
CD used.
In addition to DVDs, you can also play S-Video CDs, MP3/WMA
CDs and audio CDs. Additionally, the DVD receiver can read homemade DVD Rs and DVD RWs with video data and CD Rs and
CD RWs with audio or image data (JPEG/Kodak pictures).

Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital and DTS
With its Dolby Pro Logic II decoder, the DVD receiver has the latest
surround decoder technology. It generates surround sound from the
stereo signal. However, the rear channel consists of two separate
stereo channels, whose frequency range is not restricted. This
means Pro Logic II produces a sound zone with a completely new
sense of space, location and stability.
Dolby Digital
, on the other hand, is a digital sound system designed
for completely independent multi-channel audio playback. It carries
five full audio channels and a low frequency effects (LFE) channel. In
general, Dolby Digital signals can also consist of fewer than 5 channels (for example 2.0 or 3.0).
DTS Digital Sur
round is a digital sound system for differentiated 5.1
multi-channel audio reproduction which creates three-dimensional
surround sound effects.

SET-UP AND SAFETY___________________________
Please note the following information when setting up the home cinema system:
The DVD receiver and loudspeakers are designed for playing back video
and audio signals at home. Any other use is expressly prohibited.
If you want to set up the DVD receiver on wall shelves or in cupboards,
please ensure that the device is adequately ventilated. There must be at least
10 cm of space at the side, above and behind the device.
Please note when setting up the DVD receiver that furniture surfaces are
coated with various types of paint and plastic, which often contain chemical
additives. These additives may cause corrosion to the feet of the unit. This
may leave stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or
impossible to remove.
If the DVD and loudspeakers are subjected to sudden changes in temperature, for example if they are brought in from the cold to a warm room, let
them stand for at least two hours without inserting a disc. Do not connect
them to the mains supply during this time.
The DVD receiver and loudspeakers are designed for use in dry rooms. You
must make sure that they are protected from moisture such as rain or water
splashes.
Place the DVD receiver on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects
such as newspapers on the DVD receiver, or any cloth or similar articles
underneath it.
The laser lens is sensitive to temperature. Therefore, do not place the DVD
receiver near heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.
Do not insert foreign objects in the disc compartment of the DVD receiver.
Never open the casing of the DVD receiver and loudspeakers. No warranty
claims are accepted for damage resulting from improper handling.
Do not place any vessels such as vases containing fluid on the DVD receiver
and loudspeakers. These may be knocked over and spill fluid on the electrical components, thus presenting a safety risk. Do not place any objects such
as burning candles on the DVD receiver or loudspeakers.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the DVD receiver is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains.
Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs of the DVD receiver during
a storm.
If the DVD receiver cannot scan DVDs or CDs perfectly, use a commercially
available cleaning CD. Other cleaning methods may damage the laser
optics. Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on the laser optics.

Connection diagram for the loudspeakers
Setting up the loudspeakers
If possible, set up the front loudspeakers in line with the TV set,
angled slightly towards the listener. The listener and the speakers
should form an equilateral triangle. This creates the best stereo
effect.
The surround loudspeakers should be angled slightly towards each
other at a sufficient distance to the left and right behind the listener.
They should be positioned at ear height, even when wall-mounted.
Set up the central loudspeaker at the midpoint between the two front
speakers, for example above or below the TV set. The best height
for the centre loudspeaker is at head height of the seated listener.
To achieve the best possible bass sound, we recommend that you set
up the subwoofer to the left or right of the front loudspeakers, in
such a way that the sound crosses the room diagonally.
When you are in the middle of the room, you may not be able to
hear the bass tone of the subwoofer sufficiently. This is caused by
what are known as standing waves, which occur between parallel
walls. In this case, simply position the subwoofer at an angle to the
wall.
Avoid placing the loudspeakers in a corner, because this overamplifies the bass tones.
Objects in front of the loudspeakers significantly impair the treble
tones and the stereo effect.

Connecting the loudspeakers
Note:
To connect the loudspeakers, switch off the DVD receiver and disconnect the mains.
When you connect the loudspeaker cables, do not let frayed ends
protrude, as this can cause short circuits.
Note:
Connect the coloured loudspeaker cable to the coloured terminals,
and the black cable to the black terminals.
Connecting the front loudspeakers
1 Connect the cables for the right and left front loudspeakers to
the »SPEAKER R« and »SPEAKER L« terminals on the DVD
receiver and the appropriate terminals on the loudspeakers.
Connecting the surround loudspeakers
1 Connect the cables for the right and left surround loudspeakers
to the »SPEAKER RS« and »SPEAKER LS« terminals on the
DVD receiver and the appropriate terminals on the loudspeakers.
Connecting the central loudspeaker
1 Connect the cables for the central loudspeaker to the terminals
on the DVD receiver and the appropriate terminals on the loudspeaker.
Connecting the subwoofer
1 Connect the cables for the subwoofer to the »SPEAKER SW«
terminals on the DVD receiver and the appropriate terminals on
the subwoofer.
Connecting a television, flat screen or projector
You have three options, depending on the sockets you have on your
television or projector:
– Connecting to the Euro-AV (Scart) socket using the Euro-AV cable
supplied is the best option, because the video, audio and format
switching signals are all on the same connection.
– If your television has no Euro-AV socket, you can still achieve a
good picture quality by connecting it via the S-VIDEO OUT sockets.
– Alternatively, you can connect it using cinch cables to the VIDEO
OUT sockets for standard picture quality.

DVD receiver and the corresponding socket (S-VIDEO IN) on
the television, flat screen or projector.
Connecting using a video cinch cable
1 Plug a standard video cinch cable into the »VIDEO OUT«
socket on the DVD receiver and the corresponding socket
(VIDEO IN) on the television, flat screen or projector.
Connecting digital external devices
You can connect external devices, such as a digital recorder, for
disc mode. An optical output »OPTICAL OUT« is available for this
purpose. The digital output must be activated and set in the set-up
menu (see page 21).
You can connect digital audio sources using the optical input
»OPTICAL IN«.
1 Connect the input socket of the external device to the corres-
ponding output socket on the DVD receiver.
2 Connect the output socket of the external device to the corre-
sponding input socket on the DVD receiver.
Connecting analogue external devices
1 Use cinch cables to connect the audio input sockets of the
external device to the »AUDIO OUT L R« sockets on the DVD
receiver.
2 Use a cinch cable to connect the video input socket of the
external device to the »VIDEO OUT« socket on the DVD
receiver;
and/or
1 Use cinch cables to connect the audio output sockets of the
external device to the »AUDIO IN L R« sockets on the DVD
receiver.
2 Use a cinch cable to connect the video output socket of the
external device to the »VIDEO IN« socket on the DVD receiver.
