General Information
Installation
● Place the player on a flat, hard, and stable surface.
DVD Player
Power Amplifier
Stand
● In a cabinet, allow about 10cm (4 inches) of free
space all around the player for adequate
ventilation.
● Do not expose your player to extreme
temperatures or humidity.
● The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing and that no objects filled with liquid
such as vase shall be placed on the apparatus.
● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
shall be placed on the apparatus.
● Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the
AC power plug can be reached easily.
● The ventilation should not be impeded by
covering the ventilation openings with items,
such as newspapers, table-cloths, cur tains, etc.
Maintenance
● When a disc becomes dirty,
clean it with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center
out, in a straight line.
● Do not expose the player,
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.
● Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for colour discs.
● 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.

1 Connect the supplied front, rear and center
speakers using the fixed speaker cables by
matching the colors of the jacks and speaker
cable connectors.
2 Connect the passive subwoofer to the
3
WOOFER (8Ω) terminal with the supplied
subwoofer cable by matching the plug types.
For best possible surround sound, all the
speakers (except 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 center speaker above the TV or the
DVD system so that the center channel's sound
is localized.
3 Place the rear speakers at normal listening ear
level facing each other or hang on the wall.
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.

Glossary
English
Analog: Sound that has not been turned into
numbers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound
has specific numerical values. These jacks send
audio through two channels, the left and right.
Aspect ratio: The ratio of ver tical and
horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs. is
4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.
AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the
DVD System that send audio to another system
(TV set, Stereo, etc.).
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a
given length of music; measured in kilobits per
second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you
record. Generally, the higher the bit r ate the
better the sound quality. However, higher bit
rates use more space on a Disc.
Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music
piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles. A
title is composed of several chapters. Each
chapter is assigned a chapter number enabling
you to locate the chapter you want.
Component Video Out Jacks: Jacks on the
back of the DVD System that send high-quality
video to a TV set that has Component Video In
jacks (R/G/B, Y/Pb/Pr, etc.).
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for the
selection of images, sound, subtitles, multi-angles,
etc recorded on a DVD.
Digital: Sound that has been converted into
numerical values. Digital sound is available when
you use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL
or OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio
through multiple channels, instead of just two
channels as analog does.
Dolby Digital: A surround sound system
developed by Dolby Laboratories containing up
to six channels of digital audio (front left and
right, surround left and right and center).
DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround
sound system, but different from Dolby Digital.
The formats were developed by different
companies.
JPEG: A still-picture data compression system
proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert
Group, which features small decrease in image
quality in spite of its high compression ratio.
MP3: A file format with a sound data
compression system, “MPE” is the abbreviation of
Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1)
Audio Layer 3. Through the MP3 format, one
CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as
much data volume as a regular CD can.
Multichannel: DVD is specified to have all
sound tracks constitute one sound field.
Multichannel refers to a structure of sound
tracks having three or more channels.
Parental control: A function of the DVD to
limit playback of the disc by the age of the users
according to the limitation level in each country.
The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is
activated, playback will be prohibited if the
software’s level is higher than the user-set level.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): A system
for converting analog sound signal to digital
signal for later processing without data
compression.
Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal
recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for
reproduction control. By using screen menus
recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that suppor ts
PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as
well as software having a search function.
Progressive Scan (P-Scan): It displays all the
horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a
signal frame. This system can convert interlaced
video from DVD into progressive format for
connection to a progressive display. It
dramatically increases the vertical resolution. A
progressive scan TV set is needed to receive
progressive scan output from the system.
Region code: A system allowing discs to be
played only in preset regions. This unit will only
play discs that have compatible region codes. You
can find the region code of your unit from the
product label. Some discs are compatible with
more than one region (or ALL regions).
S-Video: Produces a clear picture by sending
separate signals for luminance and the color. You
can use S-Video only if your TV set has S-Video
In jack.
Sampling Frequency: Frequency of data
sampling when analog data is converted to
digital data. Sampling frequency numerically
represents how many times the original analog
signal is sampled per second.
Surround: A system for users to create
realistic three-dimensional sound fields full of
realism by arranging multiple speakers around
the listener.
Title: The longest section of a picture or music
feature on DVD, music, etc., in video software, or
the entire album in audio software. Each title is
assigned a title number enabling you to locate
the title you want.
VIDEO OUT jack: Jack on the back of the
DVD System that sends video to TV.
