STEP

Locating

≥Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.

≥Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you

cannot set them up on an even surface.

≥Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are

approximate.

≥Use the speakers with the short cords (SB-FDM3) for the front and center, and the ones with the long cords (SB-RDM3) for the surround

speakers.

Center speaker (5) SB-FDM3

≥You can also put this speaker di-

rectly under the television.

≥Do not place the center speaker on

the main unit as sound quality will be affected.

≥Vibration caused by the center

speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the tele-

Main unit

Note

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system for proper ventilation. Leave 30-mm (13⁄16q) clearance at the rear of the unit.

Subwoofer (6) SB-WDM3

Place near the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won’t cause vibration. ≥A woofer unit is located on the side of the subwoofer.

Leave 10-cm (4q) clearance for it to be effective.

Surround speakers [Left (3)/Right (4)] SB-RDM3

Place either side of the seating position, or slightly to the rear, about 1 meter (3 feet) higher than ear level.

Positioning for best effect

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points.

≥Place speakers on flat secure bases. ≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtain.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

Notes on speaker use

≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if

you play sound at high levels over extended periods.

≥Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage.

–When playing distorted sound. –When the speakers are receiving howling from a microphone

or record player, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.

–When adjusting the sound quality. –When turning the unit on or off.

Caution ≥Use the speakers only with the recom-

mended system. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance.

≥Do not attempt to attach these speakers to

walls using methods other than those described in this manual.

Glossary

Bitstream

This is the digital form of multiple channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be 5.1-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second. One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields one after the other to create frames. A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so picture quality is lower.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types. I: Intra coded picture (I-picture)

This is the standard picture and is a complete picture in itself. This means it has the best picture quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture (P-picture)

This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture (B-picture)

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

MP3

A method of compressing audio, MPEG Audio Layer 3 (MP3) allows audio to be reduced to up to one tenth its original size without overtly hurting audio quality.

When creating MP3 files to play on this unit

≥Disc formats: ISO9660 level 1 and level 2 (except for extended for-

mats)

≥Files: MP3 files with the suffix “.mp3” or “.MP3”

≥To have this unit play files in a certain order, prefix folder and file

names with numbers in the order you want to play them. This may not work in all cases.

Not compatible with multi-session recordings

If you record MP3 onto CD-R/CD-RW over a number of sessions, this unit can play only the recordings made in the first session.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus.

Disc handling

Do not use irregularly shaped discs, such as heart-shaped. (These can damage the unit.)

Reference

∫ How to hold a disc

Do not touch the recorded surface.

∫ If the surface is dirty

Wipe it with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.

∫ If the disc is brought from a cold to a warm envi-

ronment, moisture may form on the disc

Wipe with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc.

∫ Handling precautions

≥Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing

instrument.

≥Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static electric-

ity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

≥Do not attach labels or stickers to discs. (Do not use discs with

exposed adhesive from tape or left over peeled-off stickers.)

≥Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers. ≥Do not use discs printed with label printers available on the market.

∫ Do not place or store discs in the following places

≥Locations exposed to direct sunlight ≥Humid or dusty locations ≥Locations directly exposed to a heat vent or heating appliance

Listening caution

EST. 1924

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be

loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level:

≥Start your volume control at a low setting. ≥Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level: ≥Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
