∫ Preventing the speakers from falling over
Preparation
Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the wall (➜ diagram below).
≥You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the
walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.
≥Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the
appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may not have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.
To prevent the speaker from falling over, thread the string (not included) from the wall to the speaker as shown and tie tightly.
5 Fasten the speaker cable to the base.
≥Using the same polyfoam as in procedure 2 will assist you in
safely and securely fastening the speaker cables.

≥The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 10 kg (22 lbs) per screw. Consult a qualified
building contractor when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall and speakers.
≥Use of optional speaker cables is recommended for wall-mounted front speakers. (You can also remove the speaker cables from the pipes
supplied with this system).
≥[HT930] [HT933] When mounting the front speakers to a wall, we recommend using a string (not included) to prevent it from falling (➜ page 7).

∫ Fitting speaker stands (not included)
(Except Front speakers)
Ensure the stands meet these conditions before purchasing them. Note the diameter and length of the screws and the distance between screws as shown in the diagram.
≥The stands must be able to support over 10 kg (22 lbs). ≥The stands must be stable even if the speakers are in a high position.

Positioning
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 speakers are the same with respect to the front and surround speaker pairs.

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 reverberating due to 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 active subwoofer and supplied
speakers are to be used only 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.

Tips for making WMA/MP3 and JPEG discs (For CD-R, CD-RW)
≥Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended
formats).
≥This unit supports multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it
takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
≥When there are more than 8 groups, the eighth group onwards will
be displayed on one vertical line in the menu screen.
≥There may be differences in the display order on the menu screen
and computer screen.
≥This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.
Naming folders and files (Files are treated as content and folders are treated as groups on this unit.)
At the time of recording, prefix folder and file names with 3-digit numbers in the order you want to play them (this may not work at times). Files must have the extension: “.WMA” or “.wma” “.MP3” or “.mp3” “.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”
e.g. [MP3]

[WMA]
≥You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected. ≥This unit does not support Multiple Bit Rate (MBR).
[MP3]
≥This unit does not support ID3 tags. ≥Compatible sampling rates: 8, 11.02, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1
and 48 kHz.
[JPEG]
≥To view JPEG files on this unit:
– Take them on a digital camera that meets the DCF Standard
(Design rule for Camera File system) Version 1.0. Some digital cameras have functions that are not supported by the DCF Standard Version 1.0 like automatic picture rotation which may render a picture unviewable.
– Do not alter the files in any way or save them under a different
name.
≥This unit cannot display moving pictures, MOTION JPEG and other
such formats, still pictures other than JPEG (e.g. TIFF) or play pictures with attached audio.

Glossary
1. Damage requiring service—The unit should be serviced by
qualified service personnel if: (a) The AC power supply cord or AC adaptor has been damaged;
or (b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or (c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or (d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked
change in performance; or (e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.
2. Servicing — Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that described in these operating instructions. Refer all other servicing to authorized servicing personnel.
3. Replacement parts— When parts need replacing ensure the servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
4. Safety check—After repairs or service, ask the servicer to perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working condition.
The servicer will require all components to service your system. Therefore, should service ever be necessary, be sure to bring the entire system.

Maintenance
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVD’s 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 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.

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.
