Positioning Speakers

Courtesy Dolby Laboratories

1. Left, Right (Front Speakers) Front speakers carry primarily music and sound eﬀ ects.

2. Center In surround mode, the center speaker carries most of the dialog as well as music and eﬀ ects. It should be set between the left and right speakers.

3. Surround (Rear Speakers) The surround speakers’ overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound ﬁ eld.

4. Subwoofer A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass eﬀ ects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.).

Front Speaker Placement

For best results, follow the speaker placement below.

Alignment Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slightly behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not ahead of them.

Angle Place the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree angle with your favorite viewing position to duplicate the soundtrack mixer’s perspective.

Height The three front speakers should be as close as possible to the same height. This often requires placing the center speaker directly on top (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.

Note:

Center speaker provided with this unit is magnetically shielded to protect your TV set. It is not recommended to place speakers without magnetic shield near the TV set.

Connections and Setup

Better Surround Placement

Location If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area, not behind it.

Height If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above viewers. This helps to minimize localization eﬀ ects.

Aiming Aim surround speakers straight across the room, not down at viewers, to help create a more open, spacious surround sound ﬁ eld.

No adjacent walls Surround speakers can go on stands facing each other to approximate sidewall mounting (A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area, aimed upwards; they can go right on the ﬂ oor, or preferably, a few feet oﬀ the ﬂ oor such as on end tables (B).

Test Tone/Channel Balance

Channel Balance

Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator to help balance the audio level for each channel (see Page 8 for details).

Level Adjustment and Surround Channel Level

Alternative Surround Placement

Rear wall If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement until sounds seem to surround you, rather than come from behind you.

Expectation

Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as loud as the others on the test signal, you may ﬁ nd that surround channels seems quieter for actual TV and Movie content. This is because producers use surround for subtle atmospherics and ambience, and only rarely for special eﬀ ects.

Digital Output:

• PCM Stereo — Sets the HDMI audio format to PCM Stereo, this is useful if you have an audio receiver connected that is not a 5.1 channel receiver.

• Bitstream Legacy — Sends a DTS or Dolby Digital bitstream from the disc over the HDMI connections. Blu-ray audio is limited to the soundtrack for the main movie (no PIP audio).

• Bitstream Mixed — Sends a mixed (PIP audio and movie audio) DTS audio stream over the HDMI connections. This mode is primarily intended for use when you want to hear both PIP audio and the movie audio over an external Audio Receiver.

• PCM 5.1 — Sends a PCM audio signal of up to

5.1 channels over the HDMI connection.

Dynamic Range Control:

Dynamic Range Control allows you to make the

loud parts of a movie’s audio track quieter than they would be in the theatre, without making the dialog of the actors any quieter.

This would be useful, for instance, when you want to watch a movie in the evening when others might be sleeping.

Note: This setup menu item has no eﬀ ect unless:

• You have selected “Bitstream Mixed” in the Bluray disc player’s audio setup menu.

When Dynamic Range Control is set to O , movie soundtracks are played with the standard dynamic range.

When movie soundtracks are played at low volume or from smaller speakers, you can set Dynamic Range Control to On. Your player applies appropriate compression to make low-level content more intelligible and prevent dramatic passages from getting too loud.

Selecting the “Auto” option turns on the Dynamic Range Control for all BD movie soundtracks except Dolby TrueHD.

not disconnect it from the mains supply. To completely isolate the equipment, remove the plug from the mains jack as some components remain connected to the electrical supply.

• If you notice any burning or smoke, disconnect the unit immediately to avoid any risk of electrocution.

• Do not attempt to look inside the unit through the disk tray opening or any other opening. You may be electrocuted or exposed to laser radiation.

• This unit is for domestic use only and must not be used for industrial purposes.

• Total or partial copying of recordings protected by copyright legislation, without the explicit permission of the holder of the rights, contravenes current legislation. Copying or downloading music ﬁ les for sale or any other business purpose constitutes or could constitute a violation of copyright law.

Cleaning

• Use a soft, dry, clean cloth. Regularly dust the vents at the back or sides.

• Using solvents, abrasive or alcohol-based products risks damaging the unit.

• If an object or liquid enters inside the unit, unplug it immediately and have it checked by an authorized servicer or service center.

Handling and Caring for Discs

• Handle your discs with care. Hold the disc with your ﬁ ngers at the edges or through the hole.

• Insert the disc with the label facing up (for a single-sided disc).

• Place the disc properly into the tray in the allotted holder.

• Use a soft cloth to clean discs if necessary, always wiping from the centre to the edge.

• Always put discs back in their cases after use and store in a vertical position.

• Do not close the tray with two discs in it or with a disc not sitting correctly in the holder.

• Do not play cracked, chipped or warped discs nor try to repair them with adhesive tape or glue.

• Do not write on a disc.

• Do not move the unit when a disc is being played.

• Do not scratch discs or store them in places exposed to direct sunlight, high humidity or high temperatures.

• Do not use aerosol cleaners, benzene, anti-static liquids or any other solvent for cleaning discs. When cleaning, wipe gently with a soft damp (water only) cloth from the centre to the edge, avoiding circular motions, which could cause scratches and interference during playback.

Compatible Formats

In order to ensure playback, discs must conform with BD, DVD or CD standards. This unit may not play some recordings or ﬁ les due to diﬀ erences in recording formats, software used and disc types.

BD-ROM
