5. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION
CAREFULLY.
The voltage of the available power supply differs
according to country or region. Be sure that the
power supply voltage of the area where the unit
will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC
120 V 60 Hz or AC 230-240 V 50 Hz) written on
the rear panel.
Setting the STANDBY/ON button to standby does
not shut off the power completely. So the power
cord should be removed from the AC outlet when
the unit is not going to be used for a long time.
6. Do not touch the unit with wet hands.
Do not handle the unit or power cord (mains lead)
when your hands are wet or damp. If water or any
other liquid enters the case, take the unit to an
authorized service center for inspection.

the unit may overheat and malfunction.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or heat-
ing units as the unit's internal temperature may
rise and shorten the life of the pickup.
•Avoid damp and dusty places and places
directly affected by vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit on or
above one of the speakers.
• Be sure the unit is placed in a horizontal posi-
tion. Never place it on its side or on a slanted
surface, as it may malfunction.
• When you place the unit near a TV, radio, or
VCR, the playback picture may become poor
and the sound may be distorted. In this case,
place the unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.
8. Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and
rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For
heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution

poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts
replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending
on the operating environment. For details, contact
your nearest dealer.
11.Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the unit.
Please read the following carefully.
• What is moisture condensation?
Moisture condensation occurs, for example,
when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a
warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of
the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside the unit,
one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.
• Moisture condensation occurs in the follow-
ing cases.
– When you bring the unit directly from a cold
place to a warm place.
– When you use the unit in a room where you
just turned on the heater, or a place where
cold airflow from an air conditioner directly
hits the unit.
– In summer, when you use the unit in a hot
and humid place just after you move the unit
from an air conditioned room.
– When you use the unit in a humid place.
•
Do not use the unit when moisture condensation may occur.
situation, it may damage discs and internal
parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord
(mains lead) of the unit to the wall outlet (the
mains), turn on the unit, and leave it on for two
or three hours. After a few hours, the unit will
have warmed up and evaporated any moisture.
Keep the unit connected to the wall outlet (the
mains) and moisture condensation will seldom
occur.
If you use the unit in such a
ma
Memory Preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation
batteries. A built-in memory power backup system
preserves the contents of memory during power
failures and even when the power cord is
unplugged.
The power cord must be plugged-in to charge the
backup system. The memory preservation period
y
after the unit has been turned off varies depending
on climate and placement of the unit. On average,
memory contents are protected for a period of a
few weeks after the time the unit has been turned
off. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed
to a very humid climate.

Speaker care
■ Speaker care
Wipe the cabinet occasionally with a dry silica or soft cloth. For heavier dirt, after dampening a
soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water and wringing it out dry, wipe off the dirt.
Then, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other
chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish, remove the panel lettering, or
cause discoloration. If you are using a chemical cloth, always follow the instructions that come
with the cloth. For dust accumulated on grilles, use a vacuum cleaner or brush it off.
■ Use with a TV set or computer
In general, Braun tubes used for color television sets and computers are extremely sensitive and
can be affected ev en by the magnetism of the earth. If a speak er system is used near them, therefore, discoloration or distortion of pictures will occur. To allow use with a color television set or
computer, this speaker system is provided with magnetic shielding. Even so, discoloration may
still result, depending on the installation environment. If discoloration occurs, turn off the power of
the television set or computer, wait for 15 to 30 minutes and then turn it on again. This activates
the self-demagnetizing function of the television set or computer, improving the display condition.
Note
If discoloration persists even after perf orming this remedy, move the speaker apart from the television set or computer. Discoloration may also be caused when a magnet or other magnetizing
object exists near the television or computer because of the combined effect.
■ Precaution on use
This speaker system can handle the specified input power when it is used for ordinary music
reproduction. If the following abnormal signals are fed to the speaker, however, an overcurrent
may flow in the internal circuits, causing burning or breakage of the wires even if the input power
is below the specified rating.
1. Noise produced when FM station is not tuned in
2. Sound produced when fast-forwarding cassette tape deck
3. High-frequency sound generated by an oscillator, an electronic musical instruments, etc.
4. Oscillating amplifier signals
5. Special test signals produced by audio checking CD, etc.
6. Sound produced when connecting or disconnecting audio connection cables (Always turn off
the amplifier’s power before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
7. Howling when a microphone is used
Note:
The L-DR7 DVD Theater System performance is optimized when the subwoofer (SWA-155X),
speakers (D-M7 and D-M3), and DVD AV controller (PDR-155) are used. Onkyo is not responsible for malfunctions caused by using speakers or receivers from other manufacturers.
■ About memory preservation
The PDR-155 has an auxiliary power source to preserve memory and prevent settings from being
erased during power outage. The PDR-155 preserves memory for about two weeks with the
power cable disconnected. However, the clock and timer settings are cancelled.

DVD control limitations
The controls on certain DVD discs may be prohibited or disabled. The PDR-155 will display an
icon ( ) that means a function is “prohibited by the disc” if you try to execute such a function.
On discs that enable interactive controls from the menu or during playback, certain functions
(such as repeat play or programming) may not be available. In these cases, the PDR-155 will display an icon ( ) that means the function is “prohibited by the player.”
About video CDs
This DVD AV Controller supports Video CDs with or without PBC (Version 2.0). (PBC is an abbreviation for Playback Control.)
•
Video CDs without PBC (Version 1.1)
Video CDs that do not utilize PBC allow you to play sound and movies on the PDR-155 using the
same operations you would use to play an audio CD.
•
Video CDs with PBC (Version 2.0)
Video CDs that utilize PBC also allow you to play sound and movies on the PDR-155. In addition,
these discs enable you to use interactive software and search functions from a menu displayed on
the TV screen (Menu Playback). Some of the functions described in this Instruction Manual may
not work with some discs.
MP3 compatibility information
• The CD-ROM must be ISO9660-compatible.
• Files should be in the MPEG1 Audio Layer 3 format, 44.1 or 48 kHz, fixed bit rate. Incompatible
files will not play and the system will display “UNPLAYABLE.”
• The PDR-155 plays only tracks that use the file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.
• Use CD-R or CD-RW media to record your MP3 files.
• The disc must be finalized to play properly.
•Audio encoded at 128kbps should sound nearly as good as standard audio CDs. Although the
PDR-155 will play MP3 tracks encoded at lower bit rates, the audio quality is noticeably worse.
• Only the first eight characters of a folder or track name (e xcluding the “.mp3” extension) are displayed.
• The PDR-155 can recognize a maximum of 250 folders and 250 tracks. Folders and tracks in
excess of 250 will not play.
• The PDR-155 is not compatible with variable bit rate (VBR) files. Be sure to create MP3
CDs with a fixed bit rate.
• The PDR-155 is not compatible with multi-session discs. If you try to play a multi-session disc, the PDR-155 will play only the first session.

Differences in disc composition
■
DVDs
All discs are divided into smaller, more manageable sections so that you can find specific content
more easily.
More specifically, discs are divided into one or more titles. Each title may be further divided into
several chapters. Occasionally, a chapter may contain index points, effectively dividing the chapter into several parts as well.

Video CDs and audio CDs
Video CDs and audio CDs are divided into a number of tracks. In rare cases, a track may contain
a number of index points, effectively dividing the track into several parts.

Handling Discs
Handling discs
• Do not touch the playback side of a disc.
Playback side
• Do not attach paper or tape to discs.
Cleaning discs
• Fingerprints and dust on a disc can cause picture and sound deterioration. Wipe the disc from
the center outwards with a soft cloth. Always keep discs clean.
• If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc lightly with a slightly moistened
soft cloth and finish with a dry cloth.
• Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner, benzene, commercial cleaners or antistatic
spray for vinyl LPs. These solvents may damage discs.
Storing discs
• Do not store discs in locations subject to direct sunlight or near heat sources.
• Do not store discs in locations subject to moisture or dust, such as a bathroom or near a humidifier.
• Store discs in cases. Store each case vertically. Stacking or placing objects directly on a disc
may cause it to warp.

Using the remote controller
PDR-155
Remote control
sensor
About 5 m (16 feet)
Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor.
• Place the unit away from strong light, such as direct sunlight or inverted fluorescent light,
which can prevent proper operation of the remote controller.
• Using another remote controller of the same type in the same room or using the unit near
equipment that uses infrared rays may cause operational interference.
• Do not put any object (such as a book) on the remote controller. The buttons of the remote
controller may be pressed by mistake, which drains the batteries.

What is Home Theater?
■
Enjoying home theater
The L-DR7 creates a three-dimensional audio experience by moving and panning sound among
multiple speakers. This enables you to enjoy the atmosphere and acoustics of theaters and concert halls (i.e., 5.1 channel surround playback) while you relax at home.
Two D-M7 speakers serve as the left and right front speakers; one D-M3 speaker serves as the
center speaker; and two D-M3 speakers serve as the left and right surround speakers.
Depending on the audio-encoding of a particular DVD disc, you can enjoy DTS or Dolby Digital
playback. You can also enjoy Onkyo’s proprietary DSP surround sound for TV or MD playback
(see page 71).
Front speakers
Output complete audio signals. In the 5.1ch environment, they
serve as posts that support the acoustic field.
Subwoofer
Outputs only the bass
range sound.
Center speaker
Outputs tight audio, clearly
framing the acoustic field. In
movies, dialog and narration
are generally output.
Surround speakers
Add a realistic theater atmosphere and convey
3D sound movements and special audio effects.
Connecting the L-DR7
• Connect the DVD AV Controller (PDR-155) and the subwoofer (SWA-155X) (page 29).
• Connect the subwoofer (SWA-155X) and the speakers (D-M7, D-M3) (page 30).
• Connect your MD recorder or CD recorder to the PDR-155 to play an MD or CD in a 5.1ch environment.
Positioning the speakers
Refer to the explanation of each speaker’s role and the speaker position examples (page 31).
Setting up the speakers
To enjoy optimal surround sound, set up the speakers correctly (page 76).

Connecting the PDR-155 to a TV
Connecting a video signal
To connect a video signal, you can use the COMPONENT jacks, S VIDEO IN connector, or
VIDEO IN jack.
Select a connection to match the input connectors on your TV.
• Refer to the instruction manual for the TV you are connecting.
• Before you connect a TV, turn off the power and unplug the TV.
Do not connect the power cable of the PDR-155.
• Connect the PDR-155 directly to the TV. If you connect a VCR
between them, images from VCR tapes may look distorted.
• Insert the cable plugs completely.
If the TV has component jacks:
Component jack connection provides a better image than an S video connection.
Tip:
Component video outputs also allow you to enjoy the improved picture quality offered by progressive scanning. (progressive scan-compatible NTSC color TV or monitor required.)
If the TV has an S video connector:
Use the included S video cable to make an S video connection. This connection offers better
image quality than the VIDEO IN jack.
If the TV has neither component jacks nor an S video connector:
Use the included yellow pin cable to make a VIDEO IN connection.
Audio connection
To listen to TV audio, you need to connect the audio output of a TV or satellite tuner to the PDR155 TV/LINE IN jack.
If your TV or satellite tuner has digital output, connect it to the PDR-155 DIGITAL IN jack to listen
to digital audio.
Digital audio has priority when both digital and analog jacks are connected.
