What is SIMPLINK?

Some functions of this unit are controlled by TV’s remote control when this unit and
LG TV with SIMPLINK are connected through HDMI connection.

• Controllable functions by LG TV’s remote control; Play, Pause, Scan, Skip, Stop,

Power Off, etc.

• Refer to the TV owner’s manual for the details of SIMPLINK function.

• LG TV with SIMPLINK function has the logo as shown above.

• Use a higher version cable than 1.2A HDMI cable.

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

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord
Most appliances should be placed on a dedicated circuit;

That is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or
branch circuits. Check the specification page of this owner's manual to be certain.
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 cord of your appliance,
and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the
appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.
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 appliance.
To disconnect power from the unit, unplug the unit from the outlet. When installing the product,
ensure that the plug is easily accessible.

Be careful of the following

• Be careful to make sure children do not put their hands or any objects into
the *speaker duct.

*Speaker duct: A hall for plentiful bass sound on speaker cabinet(enclosure).

• Set the distance between this unit and Wireless Receiver within 10m.

• Optimum performance can be implemented only when the Wireless
Transmitter and the Wireless Receiver within distance of 2m to 10m is used
since communication failure may occur if longer distance is used.

• Be sure to match the speaker cable to the appropriate terminal on the com­ponents: + to + and – to –. If the cables are reversed, the sound will be dis­torted and will lack bass.

•

It takes a few seconds (and may take longer) for the

Wireless Transmitter

and

Wireless Receiver

to communicate with each other.

• When the unit is turned off, the Wireless Transmitter is in standby mode (off)
automatically after about 10 seconds.

• If the Wireless Transmitter is turned off, the Wireless Receiver will not func­tion.

About Ferrite Core

This ferrite core can reduce noises.

How to attach the ferrite core

1 Press the stopper [a] of the ferrite core to open.
2 Wind the speaker cables once on the ferrite core. Pass the SOUND SIG-

NAL cable and speaker cables straight and wind the cable of woofer once

receiver (Refer to the fig.3 and comment.).

3 Close the ferrite core until it clicks.

The length
here is as
short as
possible.

DRC (Dynamic Range Control) – Make the sound clear when the volume is

turned down (Dolby Digital only). Set to [On] for this effect.

Vocal – Select [On] to mix karaoke channels into normal stereo. This function is
effective for multi-channel karaoke DVDs only.

HD AV Sync - Sometimes Digital TV encounters a delay between picture and
sound. If this happens you can compensate by setting a delay on the sound so
that it effectively ‘waits’ for the picture to arrive: this is called HD AV Sync. Use vV
to scroll up and down through the delay amount, which you can set at anything
between 0 and 300m sec.
The delay will vary depending on which digital TV channel you are on. If you
change channel you may need to readjust the HD AV Sync.

yet entered a password you are prompted to do so. Enter a 4-digit password.

If you forget your password you can reset it. Press SETUP to display the Setup
menu. Input ‘210499’ and press ENTER. The password has now been cleared.

Setting the sound mode

VSM (VIRTUAL SOUND MATRIX) and Dolby Pro Logic II

You can select the Dolby Pro Logic II or Virtual sound. Press VSM to set the vir­tual sound or to change sound mode repeatedly.

[BYPASS] mode : Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played
according to the way it was recorded.

2Ch source

[PL II 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.
[PL II MUSIC] mode: The Music mode is for use with any stereo music
recordings.
[PL II 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.” The Matrix mode may
also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo
reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic
decoder. The ultimate “cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to
force the audio to mono.
[ON STAGE] mode: Simulates a large Concert hall
[VIRTUAL] mode:

Realtime 3D positioned sound rendering technology
with stereo sources, optimized for stereo speakers. Listeners may expe­rience amazing virtual surround effects with their own multimedia play­ers.

5.1Ch source

[VIRTUAL] mode:

The Multichannel sound changes the sound in 5.1 ch
into a virtual one in the 10.1 ch so that it provides such a feeling that
you listen to the sound simultaneously from the right and left speakers
and center speaker.

Set a pre-programmed sound field

This system has a number of pre-set surround sound fields. Select the one
which best suits the programme you are watching by pressing EQ repeatedly to
cycle through the options: NORMAL, NATURAL, AUTO EQ, POP, CLASSIC,
ROCK, JAZZ

[AUTO EQ]: AUTO EQ operates only in the MP3/ WMA files which include
the information. (ID3 Tag is operated ver.1 only.) WMA file operates to Normal
EQ regardless of Tag information.
