Safety information

Electric shock warning

CAUTION

Risk of Electric Shock

Do Not Open

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.

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

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.

Warning

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

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.

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:

1Disconnect the antenna or cable TV leads from the back of your television.

2Identify 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.

Back of home theater system

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:

1Tune the television to the home theater system output channel (CH 3 or 4).

2Set 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)

3Select 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.
