THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

• If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your home theater system.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RadioShack may cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

You must use shielded interface cables with this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

PLACEMENT

• Do not use the unit in places which are extremely hot, cold, dusty, or humid.

• Place the unit on a flat and even surface.

• Do not restrict the air flow of the unit by placing it in an area with poor air flow, by covering it with a cloth, or by placing it on carpeting.

SAFETY

• When connecting or disconnecting the AC cord, grip the plug rather than the cord itself. Pulling the cord may damage it and create a hazard.

• When you are not going to use the unit for a long period of time, disconnect the AC power cord.

CONDENSATION

When left in a heated room where it is warm and damp, water droplets or condensation may form inside the unit. When there is condensation inside the unit, the unit may not function normally. Let the unit stand for one to two hours before turning the power on, or gradually heat the room up and dry the unit before use.

DOLBY DIGITAL /DTS

Dolby Digital is a sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc. that gives movie theatre ambience to audio output when the unit is connected to a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel processor or amplifier. This unit automatically recognizes DVDs that are encoded with Dolby Digital.

Not all Dolby Digital sources are recorded with 6 channels. Some sources marked Dolby Digital may be recorded in Dolby Surround, a 2 channel system. Look for this logo on your DVD unit.

This unit does not decode DTS Digital Surround signals. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround

 playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS

Digital Surround decoder system must be connected to the

DIGITAL

AUDIO OUT

jack of the main unit.

You must connect a TV to the system in order to use the system’s DVD player. You can connect other audio and audio/visual components to the system in order to use the Home Theater Audio System’s surround sound capabilities.

NNNNooootttteeeessss::::

• The system comes with one set of audio/video cables. Your local RadioShack store sells a wide variety of audio/video cables if you need additional cables to connect components.

•

AUDIO OUT L/R only works in DVD mode.

• The low frequency response of AUX OUT is dependent on the

5.1 CH/2.1 CH setting and whether the subwoofer is on or off.

CONNECTING YOUR TV

The unit can be connected to your TV in several different ways, depending on the design of your TV.

RCA Audio/Video Jacks

Using the supplied audio/video cable, connect the VIDEO OUT and

AUDIO OUT L/R jacks to the VIDEO and left/right AUDIO IN jacks

DISC FORMATS

DISC FUNCTION OR OPERATION THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE

When " appears on the TV screen, this indicates that the function or operation attempted is not available at that time. This occurs because the DVD manufacturer determines the specific functions. Certain functions may not be available on some discs. Be sure to read the documentation provided with the disc.

NNNNooootttteeeessss::::

• This unit supports 2-channel (L/R) audio and 5.1ch (Multichannel) MPEG audio 1/2 (only when the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT coaxial jack is used for connection). It does not support

7.1 channel MPEG Audio Version 2.0.

• When playing back a CD-G (Graphics) or CD EXTRA disc, the audio portion is played, but the graphic images are not shown.

TITLE, CHAPTER AND TRACKS

DVDs are divided into “titles” and “chapters”. If the disc has more than one movie on it, each movie is a separate “title”. “Chapters” are sections of titles.

Audio CDs are divided into “tracks”. A “track” is usually one song on an audio CD.

NNNNooootttteeee:

: :

: Numbers identify each title, chapter, and track on a disc. Most

discs have these numbers recorded on them, but some do not.

Page 10

BEFORE YOU START

INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE CONTROL

Your remote control requires two AA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

CCCCaaaauuuuttttiiiioooonnnnssss:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.

1. Press the tab on the battery compartment cover and lift it up.

2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

3. Replace the cover.

When the remote control stops operating properly, replace the batteries.

WWWWaaaarrrrnnnniiiinnnngggg:

: :

: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not

burn or bury them.

CCCCaaaauuuuttttiiiioooonnnn:::: If you do not plan to use the remote control for a month or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

Point the Remote Control at the remote sensor located on the unit. When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared remote sensor may be degraded, causing unreliable operation. The recommended effective distance for remote operation is about 16 feet (5 meters).

The relationship depends on the room, for example, if the distance of the center speaker is two feet less than the front right/left speaker, the center delay can be set to 2ms, and the rest is similar to this calculation. However, the best setting must be judged by the listener.
