Care and safety information

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and
dust.

– Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to
humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating
equipment or direct sunlight.) Always keep the disc tray
closed to avoid dust on the lens.

Avoid condensation problem

–The lens may cloud over when the player is suddenly
moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it
impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the warm
environment until the moisture evaporates.

Do not block the vents

– Do not operate the DVD system in an enclosed
cabinet, allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free space all
around the player for adequate ventilation.

Step 1: Placing the speakers

and subwoofers

For best possible surround sound, all the speakers (exept
subwoofer) should be placed at the same distance from the
listening position.

1 Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances

from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees
from the listening position.

2 Place the centre speaker above the TV or the DVD system

so the centre channel’s sound is localized.

3 Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level

facing each other.

4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV.

Notes:

–To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front
speakers too close to your TV.
–Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD system.

Finding a suitable location

– Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.

Selecting the surround sound
mode

IMPORTANT!
–For proper surround sound, make sure you have
followed the “Connections” and “Preparations”
procedures fully.
– The center and surround speakers only operate
when the system is set to surround sound mode and
the source material being played is recorded or
broadcast in Dolby Digital Surround, DTS, Dolby Pro
Logic or Prologic II surround sound.
– Stereo broadcasts or recordings will produce
some surround channel effects when played in a
surround mode. However, monaural sources will not
produce any sound from the surround speaker.

● Press SURROUND to select surround or stereo mode.
➜ The availability of the various surround sound modes

depend on the number of speakers used and the incoming
sound information available on the disc. The available
surround modes are shown below.

Dolby Digital Surround

Dolby Digital (also known as AC-3 or Dolby 5.1) and MPEG
Multichannel delivered a realistic and dynamic sound similar
to theater and cinema. It requires connection of all five
speakers (front left/right, cente, surround left/right) and
subwoofer for correct Dolby Digital Surround sound
reproduction. Each channel plays its own unique role in
providing the right sound. Front left, center and front right
join two surround speakers to reproduce high, mid and bass
frequencies in five full-range channels of surround. Bass rumble,
explosions and low frequency effects you feel are delivered
through the subwoofer. A large number of DVD discs are
recorded in Dolby Digital Surround.

● Movie mode

The movie mode is for use with stereo television shows.
The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that
approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

● Music mode

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music
recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.

VSS (Virtual Surround Sound)

The Prologic MPEG or Dolby Digital surround channel is
processed by a ‘virtualizer’ DSP to add surround effect from
just the two front speakers.

Stereo

All sound is reproduced and played through the front left
and right speakers. This enables standard stereo
reproduction.

Selecting the digital sound
effect

The digital sound effects allows you to select from various
pre-set modes that control the frequency bands of sound
to optimize certain musical styles. It greatly enhances the
excitement and enjoyment of your favorite music.

● Press SOUND repeatedly to select the available sound

effect.

When playing a DVD/VCD, select :

– CONCERT, DRAMA, ACTION, SCI-FI

When playing a CD/MP3 or in Tuner or AUX-ANA
mode, select:

– JAZZ, ROCK, DIGITAL, CLASSIC

English

DTS Surround

The DTS Surround is a cinema surround sound format that
offers superior digital audio performance. DTS offers more
clarity and definition especially for higher tones. The better
sound quality is a result of the limited sound compression
(3:1 instead of 11:1 for Dolby Digital) and the 20-bit resolution.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

The Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is a specially encoded
two channels analog format that will produce sound through
four speaker channels (front left, center, front right, monaural
surround) when a Dolby Pro Logic Decoder is used. It is also
compatible with stereo systems but the user will only have
two channels (Front Left & Right) of sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II Surround

Dolby Pro Logic II Surround creates five full bandwidth output
channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an
advanced, high purity matrix surround decoder that extracts
the spatial properties of the original recording without adding
any new sounds or tonal colorations.

When DIGITAL IN received DTS or Dolby
DIGITAL format, select:

– CONCERT, DRAMA, SCI-FI, ACTION

If received other signal format, select:

– JAZZ, ROCK, DIGITAL, CLASSIC
