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 mains, pull out the mains cord plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible.

–This recorder requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain preexisting conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.

About the internal hard disk drive

The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of equipment. Please use the recorder following the guidelines below to protect against possible HDD failure.

We recommend that you back up your important recordings onto DVD discs in order to protect against accidental loss.

Do not move the recorder while it is on.

Install and use the recorder on a stable, level surface.

Do not block the rear vent/cooling fan.

Do not use the recorder in excessively hot or humid places, or in places that may be subject to sudden changes in temperature. Sudden changes in temperature can cause condensation to form inside the recorder. This can be a cause of HDD failure.

While the recorder is switched on, do not unplug from the wall socket or switch the electricity off from the breaker switch.

Do not move the recorder immediately after switching it off. If you need to move the recorder, please follow the steps below:

1.After the message POWER OFF is shown in the display, wait at least two minutes.

2.Unplug from the wall socket.

3.Move the recorder.

If there’s a power failure while the recorder is on there is a chance that some data on the HDD will be lost.

The HDD is very delicate. If used improperly or in an unsuitable environment, it is possible that the HDD will fail after a few years of use. Signs of problems include playback unexpectedly freezing and noticeable block noise (mosaic) in the picture. However, sometimes there will be no warning signs of HDD failure.

If the HDD fails, no playback of recorded material will be possible. In this case it will be necessary to replace the HDD unit.

Playing media files using the USB host feature

You can enjoy the media files such as pictures (JPEG), movies (DivX) and tunes (MP3/WMA) saved in an MP3 player or USB memory by connecting the storage device to the USB port of this unit.

Speaker Positioning

In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front speakers, 1 center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer).

If you want to play the excellent bass sound, DTS digital surround or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect a subwoofer.

•Front speakers

According to your listening position set up the speakers for equal distance. And by hearing position set up the interval between speakers to 45 degree.

•Center speaker

The center speaker and front speakers are ideally the same height. But normally place it above or below the television.

•Rear speakers

Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround sound playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far behind the listening position and install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.

In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall set the rear speakers opposite each other, and set the rear speakers above 60 - 90 cm than the listener’s ears.

•Subwoofer

This can be placed in any front position.

Delay Time Setting

In Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic mode it is assumed that the distance from the listener to each of the speakers is equal. If not then setting the delay times of the center or rear speakers the sound will be heard simultaneously by the listener.

The interval from the speakers to the listener. If the distance from the listener to each speaker is the same, in the Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic mode the delay time of each speaker is as follows

In Dolby Digital mode

Center delay time : 0 ~ 5ms Rear delay time: 0 ~ 15ms

In Dolby Pro Logic mode

Center delay time : cannot be set

If the rear delay time is set in Dolby Digital mode, in the Dolby Pro Logic mode the delay time will be automatically set.

The delay time is 1 msec per 30 cm.

If the Center and rear speakers are further than the front speakers from the listener, the delay time will be at minimum.

Surround delay time setting

If the distance of DS is equal to or longer than the DF in the left figure, set the Surround Delay Time as 0ms. Otherwise, change the setting according to the below. Ex) If the distance from front speakers to the listener is 3 m and from rear speakers from the listener is 1.5 m, in the Dolby Digital mode the rear delay time is 5 msec.

3m (DF) - 1.5m (DS) = 1.5m (B) 1.5m (B) = 150cm / 30cm = 5msec

In Dolby Pro Logic II (Surround delay time):

Pro Logic: 15 ~ 30msec

Movie: 10 ~ 25msec

Music: 0 ~ 15msec

Matrix: 0 ~ 15msec

Center delay time setting (Dolby Digital mode only)

If the distance of DF is equal to the distance of DC in the left figure, set the Center Delay Time as 0ms. Otherwise, change the setting according to the table below.

Ex) If the distance from the front speakers to the listener is 3m and from the center speaker to the listener is 2.4m, the center delay time is 2msec. 3m (DF) - 2.4m (DC) = 60cm (A)

60cm (A) / 30cm = 2msec

PANO (PANORAMA)

This control extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side-wall imaging. It is particularly effective for recordings which have strong leftor right-channel elements in the mix, as these are detected and accentuated by the Panorama process.

C WIDT (Center Width)

This control allows center-channel sounds to be positioned between the center speaker and the left/right speakers over a range of eight steps. Step “3” uses a combination of all three front speakers to give the best vocal imaging and most seamless soundstage presentation, and is recommended for most recordings. Step “0” places all center sound in the center speaker. Step “7” places all center sound equally in the left/right speakers, just as in conventional stereo.

DIMEN (DIMENSION)

This control allows the user to gradually adjust the sound field either towards the front or the rear. This can be useful to help achieve the desired balance from all the speakers with certain recordings that may contain either too much or too little spatial effect. Step “0” is the recommended setting, which has no effect on the sound. Steps 1, 2, and 3 gradually move the sound forward, and steps –1, –2, and –3 move the sound towards the surrounds.

Sound Level

You can set the sound level of the desired channel.

1.Press LEVEL/DELAY on the remote control.

2.You can adjust the sound level while the test tone is operating. First press LEVEL/DELAY then press the / buttons, so that the sound level from all the speakers is same from the listener’s position.

•During the test tone, if you adjust the sound level, it will be paused in the current speaker channel.
