Things to consider before you connect

• Ensure that the mains supply in your house complies with that indicated on the identiﬁ cation sticker located on the back of your unit.

• Install your unit horizontally, away from any source of heat (ﬁ replace) or appliances creating strong magnetic or electromagnetic ﬁ elds. The components of this unit are sensitive to heat. The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius/95 Fahrenheit.

• Leave enough space around the unit to allow adequate ventilation: 10 cm/4 inches on either side and above the top, and 5 cm/2 inches at the rear.

• The humidity of the room should not exceed 75%. If you have to use the unit outdoors, do not expose it to rain or splashing water. The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects ﬁ lled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus.

• Moving the unit from a cold place to a warm one can cause condensation on some components inside the unit. Let the condensation disappear on its own before turning the unit on again.

Connecting to audiovisual equipment

Explanation of jacks and cables

The jacks on the back of your receiver (pictured left) and the cables shown below are used to connect to other components.

The video jacks are OUT jacks, which need to be connected to IN jacks on the TV or monitor you’re connecting to (so the video content goes from the receiver to the screen). The audio jacks are IN jacks, which need to be connected to OUT jacks on the component you’re connecting to, so the sound from the component comes into the receiver (and out through the speakers).

Video cables Composite video cable (included)

The basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) is also referred to as composite video. Usually the video cable is bundled with the audio cables (white and red).

Component video cables (Pr, Pb, Y) (not included)

The Y, Pb, Pr jacks provide optimum picture quality by separating the video signal into three parts. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three videograde cables for the connection. You can also buy bundled component video cables that are color-coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr inputs (green, blue and red).

Note: If your television is a high deﬁ nition television, use the DVD player’s progressive scan output to get the highest possible video resolution. Set the Progressive Scan option in the Display menu to On (see page 26).

Note: If one of the devices is not working, check that all the cables have been inserted properly into the jacks.

Audio cables (not included) AUDIO IN L (left) and AUDIO IN R (right)

These jacks and cables are often color-coded (red for right audio, and white for left audio).

Note: If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don’t connect the right audio part of the cable.

Connecting the speakers

Six speakers are provided with the unit (2 front, 1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). To achieve good surround effects, all six speakers need to be connected to the receiver.

One speaker wire is provided with each speaker. Speaker wires are color-coded to match the terminals.

Connect the speaker wire from the back of each speaker to the corresponding color terminal at the back of the unit. Press down the tab to open the terminal and insert the wire. Release the tab to lock wire in the terminal. Do the same for center speaker, rear speakers and the subwoofer.

Note: When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver) of speaker wires and terminals match. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted. Do not ground the output line, it will damage the speaker.

Positioning speakers

" Left, Right (Front Speakers)

Front speakers carry primarily music and sound effects.

! Center

In surround mode, the center speaker carries most of the dialog as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right speakers.

# Surround (Rear Speakers)

The rear speakers’ overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound ﬁ eld.

Subwoofer

A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heighten the action on the screen.

Courtesy Dolby Laboratories

Page 10

Magnetic shielding

Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distortion. Front and center speakers provided with this unit are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set.

Note: It is not recommended to place the rear speakers and subwoofer near the TV set.

Front speaker placement

Follow the suggestions for speaker placement below to get the best results.

Alignment

Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slightly behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not ahead of them.

Angle

Place the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree angle with your favorite viewing position to duplicate the soundtrack mixer’s perspective.

Height

The mid- and high-frequency drivers of the three front speakers should be as close as possible to the same height. This often requires placing the center speaker directly on top (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.

Preferred surround placement Location

If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area, not behind it.

Height

If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects.

Aiming

Aim surround speakers straight across the room, not down at viewers, to help create a more open, spacious surround sound ﬁ eld.

Alternative Surround Placement

Rear wall

If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement until sounds seem to surround you, rather than come from behind you.

Courtesy Dolby Laboratories

Page 11

No adjacent walls

Surround speakers can go on stands facing each other to approximate sidewall mounting (A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area, aimed upwards; they can go right on the ﬂ oor, or preferably, a few feet off the ﬂ oor such as on end tables (B).

Test tone/Channel balance Channel balance

Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator for balancing the channels. As the signal “travels” from channel to channel, adjust the level controls until each channel plays at the same loudness level.

Level adjustment and surround channel level expectation

Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as loud as the others on the test signal, on actual program material the surround channel is usually much lower than the front. Don’t re-adjust the surround level; program producers use surround for subtle atmospherics and ambience, and only rarely for special effects.

CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio ﬁ les in mp3 format. For CD-R mp3 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R, along with the comments below:

• Your mp3 ﬁ les should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format. ISO 9660 format and Joliet mp3 ﬁ les are compatible with Microsoft’s DOS and Windows, as well as with Apple Mac.

• mp3 ﬁ lenames should not exceed 8 characters, and should end with the “.mp3” extension. General name format: Title.mp3. When composing your title, use 10 characters or less, no spaces, and avoid the use of special characters including (. , / , \ , = ,+).

• The total number of ﬁ les on a disc should be less than 400.

• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 kB/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording mp3 ﬁ les. Sound quality with mp3 ﬁ les basically depends on the rate of compression/ decompression you choose. Obtaining audio CD quality sound requires an analog/ digital sampling rate, that is conversion to mp3 format, of at least 128 kB/sec and up to 160 kB/sec. Choosing higher rates, such as 192 kB/sec or more, only rarely produces even better sound quality. Conversely, ﬁ les with sampling rates below 128 kB/sec will not play properly.

• Do not record copyright-protected mp3 ﬁ les. “Securized” ﬁ les are encrypted and codeprotected to prevent illegal copying.

Important: The above recommendations does not guarantee that the DVD player will play mp3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. Certain technologies and methods for mp3 ﬁ le recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these ﬁ les on your DVD player (i.e. degraded sound quality and in some cases, inability of the player to read the ﬁ le).

JPEG ﬁ les

CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG ﬁ les. Certain JPEG ﬁ les, including progressive JPEG ﬁ les, cannot be read by this player.

The total number of ﬁ les and folders on the disc should be less than 650. Make sure that ﬁ les have the “.jpg” extension. Files without the “.jpg” extension will not be able to be read by the player - even though the ﬁ les are shown as JPEG images on your computer.

WMA ﬁ les

CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio ﬁ les in WMA (Windows Media Audio) format. Please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above.

Sound Enhancement Systems

This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound enhancement systems.

Dolby Digital

The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides better sound quality and a more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround. This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel so that you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround sound. Different from Dolby Pro Logic in that only four channels (Front Left, Front Right, Centre and Rear ) are used, the new system provides stereo separation of the rear speakers (Rear-Right, Rear-Left ). Adding the to the 5 channels the subwoofer channel for bass sounds (counted as 0.1 channel) results in 5.1 channels (or 6 Channels) that bring you the most sophisticated Dolby Digital sound enjoyment.
