Wall-mounting the center and surround speaker system

Before mounting

•Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that its weight could cause the wood screws to work loose, or the wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the speaker falling. Make sure that the wall you intend to mount the speakers on is strong enough to support them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls.

•Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and that will support the weight of the speaker.

01 Before you start

Introduction to home theater

You are probably used to using stereo equipment to listen to music, but may not be used to home theater systems that give you many more options (such as surround sound) when listening to soundtracks.

Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio tracks to create a surround sound effect, making you feel like you're in the middle of the action or concert. The surround sound you get from a home theater system depends not only on the speakers you have set up in your room, but also on the source and the sound settings of the system.

DVD-Video has become the basic source material for home theater due to its size, quality, and ease of use. Depending on the DVD, you can have up to six different audio tracks coming from one disc, all of them being sent to different speakers in your system. This is what creates a surround sound effect and gives you the feeling of ‘being there’.

This system will automatically decode Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround DVD-Video discs, according to your speaker setup. In most cases, you won’t have to make changes for realistic surround sound, but other possibilities (like listening to a CD with multichannel surround sound) are explained in

Home theater sound on page 31.

•This system cannot record CD-R or CDRW discs.

•Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs recorded as CD Audio can be played, but the full Table of Contents (playing time, etc.) will not be displayed.

DVD-R/RW compatibility

•This unit will play DVD-R/RW discs recorded using the DVD-Video format that have been finalized using a DVD-recorder.

•This unit will play DVD-RW discs recorded using the Video Recording (VR) format.

•DVD-RW shows in the display when a VR format DVD-RW disc is loading.

•When playing a VR format DVD-RW discs that was edited on a DVD recorder, the screen may go momentarily black at edited points and/or you may see scenes from immediately before the edited point.

•This unit cannot record DVD-R/RW discs.

•Unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played in this player.

PC-created disc compatibility

•If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a “compatible format” as listed above, there will be cases in which the disc may not be playable in this machine due to the setting of the application software used to create the disc. In these particular instances, check with the software publisher for more detailed information.

•Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW software disc boxes for additional compatibility information.

Compressed audio compatibility

•This unit will play CD-ROM, CD-R, and CDRW discs containing files saved in the MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) format with a sampling rate of 32, 44.1 or 48kHz.

Incompatible files will not play and the message Can’t play this format will be displayed (No Play in the Display unit).

•Fixed bit-rate MP3 files are recommended. Variable bit-rate (VBR) MP3 files are playable, but playing time may not be shown correctly.

•The CD-ROM used to compile your MP3 files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2 compliant. CD physical format: Mode1, Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet file systems are both compatible with this player.

•Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording your files. The disc must be finalized (i.e. the session must be closed) in order to play in this unit. This player is not compatible with multi-session discs. Only the first session of a multi-session disc will be recognized.

•This player only plays tracks that are named with the file extension .mp3 or

.MP3.

•When naming MP3 files, add the corresponding file name extension (.mp3). Files are played according to the file extension. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not use these extensions for other kinds of files.

•This player can recognize up to 999 files (MP3/JPEG) and up to 499 folders. If a disc exceeds these limits, only files and folders up to these limits will be playable.

Using the Room Setup

Before using your system to enjoy surround sound playback, we recommend you spend a few minutes using the Room Setup. This is a quick and easy way to get good surround sound for your room.

Depending on the distance of the surround speakers from your main listening position, choose between S (small), M (medium), or L (large) room, then depending on your seating position relative to the front and surround

speakers, choose Fwd (forward), Mid (middle), or Back.

•For a more detailed surround sound setup, see Setting up surround sound on page 58.

Using the on-screen displays

For ease of use, this system makes extensive use of graphical on-screen displays (OSDs). You should get used to the way these work as you’ll need to use them when setting up the system, using some of the playback features, such as program play, and when making more advanced settings for audio and video.

All the screens are navigated in basically the same way, using the cursor buttons ( , ,

•Resume and Last Memory are not available with DVD-Audio discs.

•The Last Memory function doesn’t work with VR format DVD-RW discs.

•With MP3 format discs, playback does not resume. Instead, playback begins of the first track of the folder containing the file that was playing when playback was stopped.

•After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds!

Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your system. The region number should be printed on the disc; check it against the region number of the system (which you can find on the rear panel). See also DVD Video regions on page 78.

If the region number is OK, it may be that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc and look for signs of damage. See also Using and taking care of discs on page 78.

•Why won’t the disc I loaded play?

First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that it’s clean and not damaged. See Using and taking care of discs on page 78 for information on cleaning discs.

If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-ROM. See General disc compatibility on page 10 for more on disc compatibility.

•I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play some discs?

26

Some movie formats are such that even when played on a widescreen TV, black bars are necessary at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.

•I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the system to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so why do I still get black bars top and bottom with some discs?

Some discs override the display

preferences of the system, so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those discs will still be shown in letterbox format. This is not a malfunction.

•Why can’t I hear DVD-Audio and SACD audio through the digital outputs?

DVD-Audio and SACD audio is only available through the analog outputs. This is not a malfunction.

•My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then suddenly stops!

The disc may have been illegally copied.

DVD disc menus

Many DVD-Video and DVD-Audio discs contain menus from which you can select what you want to watch or listen to. They may give access to additional features, such as subtitle and audio language selection, or special features such as slideshows. See the disc packaging for details.

Sometimes DVD menus are displayed automatically when you start playback; others

only appear when you press DVD MENU or

TOP MENU.

•Some DVD-Audio discs feature a bonus group. To access this group you have to input a password which you can find on the disc packaging. See page 70 for more information.
