Front surround 3-spot setup – This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker placement isn't possible or you want to avoid running long speaker cables in your listening area. Use this setup together with the Front Surround modes to take advantage of wall and ceiling reflections for a very realistic surround effect.

See About the listening modes on page 24 for more on using the different listening modes with each speaker setup.

Using the Room Setup

After you have set up your speakers to your liking (see Home theater sound setup above), make sure you calibrate your system for surround sound. This is a quick and easy way to get good surround sound for your room.

16

For a more detailed surround sound setup, see

Using the System Setup menu on page 43.

1If the system isn’t already on, press STANDBY/ON to switch it on.

2Press ROOM SETUP.

If you have previously set up the room type and seating position, the display will show the current room settings.

3Press ENTER.

4Use the / (cursor up/down) buttons to select a room type then press ENTER.

Choose one of the following depending on your room size:

S – Smaller than average room

M – Average room

L – Larger than average room

5Use the / (cursor up/down) buttons to select a seating position setting, then press ENTER.

Choose one of the following depending on where your main listening position is:

Fwd – If you are nearer to the front speakers than the surround speakers

Mid – If you are equal distance from the front and surround speakers

Back – If you are nearer to the surround speakers than the front speakers

Note

The Room Setup automatically sets up both channel level and channel delay. If you have already set the channel levels manually (see Setting the channel levels on page 45), you will see Room Set? in the display when you first press the ROOM SETUP button.

Getting started

Setting up the remote to control your TV

You can set up the supplied remote to control your TV using the TV CONTROL buttons.

1Switch on your TV.

2Find the name of the manufacturer of your TV in the Preset code list on page 68.

Next to each manufacturer is one or more three digit codes. These tell the remote what kind of TV you have.

If the name of the manufacturer of your TV does not appear in the table, you won’t be able to set up this remote to control your TV.

3 Point the remote at your TV, hold down the CLR button, then enter the three digit code for your TV.

The remote transmits an on/off signal to the TV. If you’ve entered the correct code, your TV should switch off.

If your TV doesn’t turn off, repeat the procedure using the next code in the list until your TV switches off successfully. Once set, you can use the individual TV controls shown below.

Playing discs

The basic playback controls for playing DVD, CD, Video CD/Super VCD and WMA/MP3 discs are covered here. Further functions are detailed in chapter 5.

1 If the player isn’t already on, press STANDBY/ON to switch it on.

If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD/Super VCD, also turn on your TV and make sure that it is set to the correct video input.

2 Press OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc tray.

3 Load a disc.

Load a disc with the label side facing up, using the disc tray guide to align the disc (if you’re loading a double-sided DVD disc, load it with the side you want to play face down).

4 Press (play) to start playback.

If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD/Super VCD, a menu may appear. See DVD-Video disc menus on page 20 and Video CD/Super VCD PBC menus on page 21 for how to navigate these.

If you’re playing an WMA/MP3 disc, it may take a few seconds before playback starts, depending on the complexity of the file structure on the disc.

If you loaded a CD/CD-R/RW containing JPEGs, a slideshow will start. See Viewing JPEG discs on page 39 for more on playing these discs.

See also Options on page 50 if the disc contains both WMA/MP3 audio files and JPEG picture files.

5 Use the MASTER VOLUME – / + button (or the front panel VOLUME buttons) to adjust the volume.

What it does

Numbers • If the disc is stopped, playback starts from the selected title (for DVD) or track number (for CD/ Video CD/Super VCD/WMA/ MP3) after a few seconds (or after pressing ENTER).

• If the disc is playing, playback jumps to the start of the selected chapter or track after a few seconds (or after pressing

ENTER).

Note

You may find with some DVD discs that some playback controls don’t work in certain parts of the disc. This is not a malfunction.

Track skip and number buttons for track selection do not work with unfinalized CD- R/RW discs.

Using the front panel controls

The

OPEN/CLOSE,

DVD/CD, FM/AM

and

(stop) buttons work the same way as the

remote control equivalents.

Resume and Last Memory

When you stop playback of a DVD or Video CD disc, Resume shows in the display indicating that you can resume playback from that point. If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you start playback the display shows Resume and playback resumes from the resume point.

For DVD discs only: If you take the disc out of the player, the play position is stored in memory. When you load the disc next time, the display shows Last Mem and you can resume playback (this works for up to five discs).

If you want to clear the resume/last memory point, press (stop) while Resume or Last Mem is displayed.

Note

When a Video CD is loaded, the Resume point is lost if the system is switched off, or switched to a function other than DVD (CD).

For the Last Memory function to work, you

must press (stop) to stop playback before opening the disc tray.

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

FAQ

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 58.

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 58.

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 58 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-Audio or DVD-ROM. See

Disc / content format playback compatibility on page 7 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?

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.

DVD-Video disc menus

Many DVD-Video discs contain menus from which you can select what you want to watch. 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-Video menus are displayed automatically when you start playback; others only appear when you press DVD MENU or

TOP MENU.

Video CD/Super VCD PBC menus

Some Video CD/Super VCDs have menus from which you can choose what you want to watch. These are called PBC (Playback control) menus.

You can play a PBC Video CD/Super VCD without having to navigate the PBC menu by pressing (stop) then starting playback using a number button to select a track, rather than

(play) (or

 

on the front panel).
