Simple setup

STEP1 Locating

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 curtains.

≥The left and right speaker pairs are the same with respect to the front and surround speakers.

Locating

FRONT

CENTER

Setup example

SUBWOOFER

Main unit

≥Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position.

The angles in the diagram are approximate.

RQT7433

≥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.

Main unit

[Note]

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system for proper ventilation.

Center speaker

≥Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it

is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a rack or shelf.

≥To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place directly on top

of the television.

Subwoofer

Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won’t cause vibration. Leave 10 cm (4q) at the rear for ventilation.

Caution

≥Hold the speakers by the sides.

Applying pressure to the front net can damage the speaker.

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 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.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

The supplied 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 farther away from the television.

Caution

≥The main unit and supplied speakers are

only to be used as indicated in this setup. 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.

The S-VIDEO OUT terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output and provide a purer picture than the S-VIDEO OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (P

B/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in

order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors. ≥The description of the component video input terminals depends

on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/P

B/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR).

Connect to terminals of the same color.

≥After making this connection, select “Darker” from the “Black

Level Control” in the “Video” tab (‹ page 20).

To enjoy progressive video

≥Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480P

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 that you 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.

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

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

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

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

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded 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.

Playback control (PBC)

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

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.
