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 seven 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

DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs (Audio CDs
and Video CD/Super VCDs) recorded using a
DVD recorder, CD recorder or personal
computer may not be playable on this system.

notes about particular software and formats.

CD-R/RW compatibility

• This system will play CD-R and CD-RW
discs recorded in CD Audio or Video CD/

the disc not to play, or create noise/
distortion in the output.

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

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

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.

Getting started

• 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

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
page 74.

• 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

taking care of discs

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
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
discs will still be shown in letterbox
format. This is not a malfunction.
