Important Note
Important notes for users in the U.K.
Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A.
or BSI approved type.
3 Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its
place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value
of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the
distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp
socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the
following code: blue = neutral (N),
brown = live (L).
¶ As these colours may not correspond with the colour
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed
as follows:
– Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or
coloured black.
– Connect the brown wire to the terminal
marked L or coloured red.
– Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in
the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green
and yellow).
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the
cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not
simply over the two wires.

Preparations
English
Setting up the surround sound
system
You must connect all the speakers and set up the system
properly in order to enjoy the Digital Cinema experience at
home (refer to “Connections – Connecting the speakers”).
You will have the feeling of being in the middle of the action
because sound is coming from everywhere around you.
The subwoofer can enhance the bass performance of your
system dramatically.
Changing the volume level
You can change the speakers’ sound distribution to suit
your surround sound needs, except for CDDA DTS disc.
● Press CENTER +/- to adjust the level of the centre
speaker.
➜ “CEN XX” is displayed.
● Press REAR +/- to adjust the level of the rear
surround speakers.
➜ “SL XX” or “SR XX” is displayed.
IMPORTANT!
Please sit at your usual listening position in order
to set up the speaker balance correctly.
Placing the speakers
To obtain the best surround effect, place the speakers as
follows.
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 or below the TV so the
centre channel’s sound is localised.
Notes:
–“XX” denotes the volume level between -6 to +6.
– For CDDA DTS disc, please refer to “System Setup (DVD) –
Setting the sound ( ) – Speakers” for changing the volume
level of the centre speaker, rear speakers and subwoofer.
Setting up the subwoofer
1 Use the supplied subwoofer cable to connect the
subwoofer’s audio input jack to the WOOFER LINE
OUT jack of the DVD system.
2 Connect the subwoofer’s AC power cable to the wall
socket and switch on the power.
➜ It will automatically switch on when receiving an audio

Sound Control
IMPORTANT!
– For proper surround sound, make sure you have
followed the “Connections” and “Preparations”
procedures fully.
– The centre 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, DTS or Dolby
surround sound.
– Stereo broadcasts or recordings will produce
some surround channel effects when played in a
surround mode. However, mono (single channel
sound) sources will not produce any sound from the
surround speakers.
Selecting the surround sound mode
● Press SURROUND repeatedly to select : Multi-channel,
3D Sound or stereo mode.
➜ The availability of the various surround sound modes
depend on the number of speakers used and the sound
available on the disc. The available output modes are shown
below.
● When playing an SACD, press SURROUND to select:
SACD multi channel or SACD stereo.
3D Sound
A new surround playback system that delivers surround sound from only
the two front speakers and a subwoofer.
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 allow you to select from various
pre-set modes that control the frequency bands of sound

excitement and enjoyment of your favourite music.
● Press SOUND repeatedly to select the available sound
effect.

Selecting the clear voice effect
The clear voice sound feature enhances the centre and
surround sound speakers.
Multichannel
– Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital (also known as Dolby 5.1) and MPEG Multichannel deliver a
realistic and dynamic sound similar to theatre and cinema. It requires
connection of all five speakers (front left/right, centre, surround left/right)
and subwoofer for correct Dolby Digital sound reproduction. Each channel
plays its own unique role in providing the right sound. Front left, centre
and 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 have been recorded in Dolby Digital.
– DTS Surround
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 Surround
The Dolby Surround system is a specially encoded two-channel analogue
format that will produce sound through four speaker channels (front left,
centre, front right, mono surround) when a Dolby Pro Logic Decoder is
used. It is also compatible with stereo systems but the user will only have
two-channel (front left & right) sound.
– Matrix
