Warning

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover or back. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Warning

To prevent fire or electric shock hazard, do not expose this home theater system to rain or moisture.

Caution

The home theater system should not be exposed to water (dripping or splashing) and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the home theater system.

Ventilation

Caution

Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with these instructions.

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the home theater system and to protect it from over-heating.

The openings should never be blocked by placing the home theater system on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This home theater system should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless correct ventilation is provided or these instructions have been adhered to.

Laser warning

Warning

This home theater system uses a laser system.

To ensure correct use of this home theater system, read this user guide carefully and retain it for future reference. Should the home theater system require maintenance, contact an authorized service center.

Changing controls, making adjustments, or carrying out procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam, do not try to open the enclosure. There is visible laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam.

This lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the home theater system’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the home theater system.

Warning

Visible and invisible laser radiation is present when the home theater system is open and interlocks are defeated.

Power cord

Caution

We recommend that most appliances be placed upon a dedicated circuit—a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check “Specifications” on page 32 for power requirements.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire.

Periodically examine the home theater system cord, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the home theater system, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized service provider.

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the home theater system.

To disconnect power from the outlet, pull out the plug. When installing the home theater system, make sure that the plug is easily accessible.

Important safety instructions

Caution

Read and observe all warnings and instructions in this manual and those marked on the home theater system. Retain this manual for future reference.

This home theater system has been designed and manufactured to assure personal safety. Incorrect use can result in electric shock or fire hazard. The safeguards incorporated in this home theater system will protect you if you observe the following procedures for installation, use, and servicing. This home theater system does not contain any parts that can be repaired by you.

Do not remove the cabinet cover or you may be exposed to dangerous voltage. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel only.

• Read all of these safety and operating instructions before the home theater system is operated.

• Retain the safety, operation, and use instructions for future reference.

• Adhere to all warnings on the home theater system and in the operating instructions.

• Follow all operation and use instructions.

• Do not use this home theater system near water. For example, do not use this home theater system near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, and other areas located near water.

• Clean only with dry cloth. Unplug this home theater system from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with these instructions. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the home theater system and to protect it from over-heating. Do not block the openings by placing the home theater system, on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. Do not place this in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or these instructions have been adhered to.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other electronic devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from the home theater system.

• Use only attachments or accessories specified by Insignia.

• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by Insignia, or sold with this home theater system. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/home theater system combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

• Unplug this home theater system during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the home theater system has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the home theater system, the home theater system has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Disc glossary

Title (DVD video discs only)

A title is the main film content or accompanying feature content or additional feature content, or music album. Each title is assigned a title reference number to make it easy for you to locate it.

Chapter (DVD video discs only)

Chapters are sections of a video or a musical piece that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of one or more chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number to make it easy for you to locate the chapter you want. Some discs may not have chapters.

Track (Audio CD only)

Tracks are sections of a musical piece on an audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number to make it easy for you to locate the track you want.

Audio glossary

DTS

Lets you enjoy 5.1(or six) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources such as DVDs and CDs bearing the trademark. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to six channels of transparent audio and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC. This player is manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.

Dolby Digital

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital program source. If you play DVDs with the mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.

Pro Logic

Use this mode when playing a movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel which carries the mark. This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theatre or live concert house—an effect with an intensity which can only be obtained through Dolby Pro Logic Surround. The effect of the front, back, left, and right movement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynamic than before.

Pro Logic (II)

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

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced sound field directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

Music mode

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings.

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

3D SURROUND

This player can produce a 3D surround effect, using 3D Surround Sound technology, which simulates multi-channel audio playback from two conventional stereo speakers instead of the five or more speakers normally required to listen to multi-channel audio from a home theatre. This feature works with DVDs encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital audio tracks.

BYPASS

Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played according to the way it was recorded.

Sound mode

You can enjoy surround sound by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to.

DVD playback

You can change the Digital Audio Output mode by pressing the AUDIO button on the remote control during playback. Although the DVD contents differ from disc to disc, the following explains the basic operation when this feature is used.

• After you select two channel by pressing the

AUDIO button, press the SOUND MODE button repeatedly. The sound mode selections are as follows:

•Bypass

• PRO Logic

•Movie

•Music

•Matrix

• 3D Surround

• After you select 5.1 channel by pressing the

AUDIO button, press the SOUND MODE button. BYPASS is the only option.

Connecting your home theater system

Note

• Depending on your television and other equipment you want to connect, there are various ways to connect the home theater system. Use connections described on page 7 through page 9.

• Refer to your television, VCR, and Stereo System manuals to make the best connections.

• Make sure that the home theater system is connected directly to the television. Tune the television to the correct video input channel.

• Do not connect your home theater system through another VCR. The DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection system.

Connecting antenna or cable TV to the home theater system

To connect the antenna or cable TV to your home theater system:

1 Disconnect the antenna or cable TV leads

from the back of your television.

2 Identify the type of cable from your antenna

or cable TV. If it is a round cable as illustrated, it is a 75 ohm coaxial antenna cable. This cable connects directly to the jack marked ANTENNA/CABLE IN on your home theater system.

Note

If your antenna lead wire is a flat type antenna cable, connect it to an antenna adapter (300-ohm to 75-ohm) (not supplied) and plug the adapter onto the ANTENNA/CABLE IN jack. The adapter does not screw onto the jack, it just plugs over it.

Note

During DVD or VCR playback, the home theater system is designed so that sound is heard only from the home theater system’s five speakers and subwoofer. No sound output is provided to the television if it is connected to the MONITOR OUT jack on the home theater system with optional cables.

Connecting without a cable box

If your cable wire is connected to your television without a converter or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your television and attach it to the ANTENNA/CABLE IN jack on the home theater system. Use the supplied round coaxial cable to connect between the home theater system’s ANTENNA/CABLE OUT jack and the 75 ohm antenna input jack on the television. With this connection, you can receive all midband, super band, and hyperband channels.

Connecting with a cable box

If a cable converter box is required in your cable system, follow these instructions. This cable hookup permits both television and home theater system operation.

To view or record CATV channels: 1 Tune the television to the home theater

system output channel (CH 3 or 4).

2 Set the home theater system channel

selector to the output channel of the cable converter box by using the or on your home theater system. (Example: CH3)

3 Select the channel to view or record at the

cable converter box.

Note

• With this connection, you cannot record one program while

viewing another.

• If you are using a cable box to tune channels, it is not necessary to complete Auto Channel Programming as indicated on page 12.

Insignia NS-H3005 Home Theater System

Connecting devices to your home theater system

To connect devices to your home theater system:

• Connect the LINE 1 or LINE 2 jacks on the home theater system to the AUDIO/VIDEO OUT jacks on your accessory component using the optional audio/video cables.

Note

• To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop antenna away from the home theater system and other devices.

• Be sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna.

• After connecting the FM wire antenna, keep it as close to horizontal as possible.

Connecting speakers to your home theater system

Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cables.

To obtain the best possible surround sound, adjust the speaker distance and level settings. For more information, see “Speaker Setup” on page 17.

Connecting the radio antennas to your home theater system

Connect the supplied AM and FM antennas so you can listen to the radio.

To connect the radio antennas: 1 Connect the AM loop antenna to the AM

antenna connector.

2 Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM

antenna connector.

Note

• Make sure that you match the speaker cable to the appropriate terminal on the connectors: + to + and – to –. If the cables are reversed, the sound is distorted and lacks bass.

• When making the sound louder, adjust the sound level carefully to avoid excessive volume output to the speakers.

• Only 2-channel stereo (Front Left, Front Right, and Subwoofer) is available in VCR mode. Sound might not be heard from center or rear speakers during VCR playback. (For further details about sound mode, see “Sound mode” on page 6.)

• Do not remove the front covers of the speakers.

Attaching the ferrite core

Be sure to attach the ferrite core to the speaker cables. The ferrite core reduces unwanted noises.

To attach the ferrite core: 1 Open the ferrite core by pressing the stopper.

2 Wind the cable once around the ferrite core.
