Component video output

Component video terminal provides the best connection for video. By separating the color information (Pb/Pr) and the luminance signal (Y), the image is improved comparing with S-video or composite video connection (result may vary on different TV / monitor). If your TV is equipped with these terminals (e.g. Y/Pb/Pr, Y/Cb/Cr, Y/B-Y/R-Y), use an appropriate video cable (75 Ohm) and connect to the system. Make sure to match the terminal color.

Progressive Scan

- It is necessary to use component video connection to enjoy progressive scan.

- Connect to a TV that has 480P input terminal or compatible with copy guard system, else the image will not be displayed properly.

- If progressive scan is ON, there will be no video signal output at composite video (VCR OUT), s-video and composite video monitor output. (Please refer to page 20 for details of activating progressive scan function)

S-VIDEO

S-video provides a better connection for the video portion of the signal than composite video (yellow color terminal). When connecting S-video cable, a Composite video cable (yellow RCA connector) must also be used. S-video will have video output for DVD playback only.

Connecting the Speakers

Speakers

There are 6 speakers equipped with the unit (2 front, 1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). In order to enjoy good surround effects all six speakers need to be connected to the receiver

For better sound quality, center speaker, rear speakers and Subwoofer should also be connected. Adding center and rear speakers will enhance surround effects. Adding a Subwoofer will increase bass response.

If you want to enjoy the full sound rangeuse the subwoofer with the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal.

Speaker cords

1 for each speaker, is needed for connection. Twist the stripped ends of speaker cord about 2/3 inch (15 mm). Press down on the tab to open the terminal and insert the wire. Release tab to lock wire in the terminal.

To ease speaker connections, the speaker cords and the terminals are color-coded.

• White/Black (Front Left Speaker),

• Red/Black (Front Right Speaker),

• Green/Black (Center Speaker)

• Blue/Black (Rear Left Speaker).

• Grey/Black (Rear Right Speaker).

• Purple/Black (Subwoofer)

Connect the speaker wire to the back of L, R front speakers and to the corresponding color terminals on the rear of the receiver. Do the same for center speaker, rear speakers and the subwoofer.

Speaker Polarity

When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver) of speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass (“out of phase” effect). Do not ground the output line, it will cause damage to the speaker.

Connecting the Subwoofer

Connect the subwoofer with the speaker wire (purple/ black) provided.

Antenna and Speaker

Wire Connection

Push Speaker terminal tab down to insert wire.

Release tab to lock wire in the terminal.

NOTE: Make sure the insulation is completely removed from the ends of the Antenna and

speaker wires at all connection

points.

Getting Started

Positioning your speaker

1 Left, Right (Front Speakers)

They carry primarily music and sound effects.

2 Center

In surround mode, the center speaker carries much of the dialogue as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right speakers.

3 Surround (Rear Speakers)

Their overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field.

Subwoofer

A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heightens involvement with the action on the screen. It is therefore recommended to connect subwoofers when small speakers are used.

Magnetic shielding

Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distortion. Front and center speakers provided with this unit are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set.

It is not recommended to place the rear speakers near the TV set.

Front Speaker Placement

Even if you can't duplicate this ideal home theater setup exactly, the suggestions for speaker placement that follow will help you get good results.

Alignment

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

Advanced Setting

Angle

Placing the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree angle with your favorite viewing position will duplicate the soundtrack mixer's perspective.

Height

The mid- and high-frequency drivers of the three front speakers should be as close as possible to the same height. This often requires placing the center speaker directly atop (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.

Courtesy Dolby Laboratories

Page 11

Getting Started

Preferred surround placement

Location

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

Height

If space permits, install surrounds 2-3 feet above viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects.

Aiming

Aiming surrounds straight across the room, not down at viewers, helps create a more open, spacious surround sound field.

Advanced Setting 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 even towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement until surround sounds seem to envelop you, rather than coming from behind you.

No adjacent walls

Surrounds can go on stands facing each other to approximate the preferred sidewall mounting (A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area aimed upwards. In the latter case, they can go right on the floor, or preferably, a few feet off the floor such as on end tables (B).

Getting Started

Test Tone / Channel balance

Channel balance

Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator for balancing the channels. As the signal "travels" from channel to channel, adjust the level controls until each channel plays at the same loudness level. Please refer to “Fine setting your speaker” section for more details.

Level adjustment & surround channel level expectation

Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as loud as the others on the test signal, you'll find that on actual program material the surround channel is usually much lower than the front. Don't be tempted to readjust the surround level; program producers use surround mostly for subtle atmosphereics and ambience, and only rarely for special effects. A good surround mix doesn't call attention to itself; if it did, it would soon become distracting.

Using Headphones

To listen privately through your audio system, use the PHONES jack on the receiver. However, make sure you turn down the volume before you put on the headphones. Increase the volume to the desired level after headphones are in place.

Once headphones are connected, “HEADPHONE DOWNMIX 2 CHANNEL” will scroll on display. This feature automatically converts multi-channel outputs to 2 channel stereo for your listening pleasure.

Hearing Comfort & Well-Being

• Do not play your headset at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.

• If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.

Factory Setting

The unit is preset to the following setting when you first turn on the power. Source = TUNER Volume setting = 25

Bass & Treble = 0 dB

Restore to Factory Settings

You can always restore all settings back to its original state. When the receiver is in VCR mode, press the following sequence on the main unit to restore all settings back to factory default : STOP REPEAT BAND / APP

Using the Remote to Control Additional Components

You can set up your remote to control a TV of another brand. You simply need to enter the code into the remote control. (not necessary for recent RCA & Proscan models).

1. Turn on the component to be programmed.

2. Look up the brand and corresponding code number in the code list.

3. Press and hold the TV button on the remote while entering the code from the code list using the Number Buttons.

4. Release the component button, then press the ON•OFF button to see if the component turns off.

5. If this does not work, repeat steps 3 and 4 by trying to use the next code (if available) listed for the brand of your component until the component responds to the remote command.

Volume punchthrough

By default, the VOL+/VOL- and MUTE buttons will only control the DVD receiver, regardless which mode (TV, VCR, etc) the receiver is in. By programming the volume punchthrough function, you can also control the volume of the TV.

NOTE: Controlling the TV volume can only be done in TV, VCR and SAT.CABLE mode, not in DVD/CD and TUNER mode.

To activate the volume punchthrough function, follow the procedures below:

1. Press and hold the VOL- button.

2. While pressing it, press the device button (TV, VCR or SAT.CABLE) that you are programming the volume punchthrough. The red led will turn off.

4. While you are still pressing the VOL- button, press the device button that you want the volume command to punch through from, the red led will turn on until the VOL- button is released.

5. Removing the batteries will reset the remote such that once again the receiver VOL+/-/MUTE codes are sent in TV mode.

Note: If an invalid key is pressed, the remote led blinks four times, then you will have to start over again.

NOTE

Once your remote is encoded, you can press ON/OFF on the remote once to turn off the component and then followed by the second time quickly to turn off the receiver (i.e. this unit). If you only want the receiver to be turned off, select TUNER or DVD/CD while the unit is ON before pressing ON/OFF.

HINT

This remote may not operate all models of the brands shown. If batteries are removed from the battery compartment of the remote control, all memory may be lost. If this is the case, you will need to re-enter all previously programmed codes again. The remote buttons may not work exactly like the original remote buttons for components of other brands. Experiment with the remote and your components to see which buttons work. If only a few functions work, you may try another code to check if more buttons work.

D V

NOTE

1. Your receiver has a built in tuner. Just connect the appropriate antenna to the back of the receiver and you will be able to listen to radio stations. (See details in Tuner section)

2. The receiver is also equipped with DVD/CD player. Press the SOURCE button on the main unit or DVD button on the remote to activate the feature.

Advanced Sound Control

Sound Enhancement Systems

This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound enhancement systems.

Dolby Pro Logic II

The Pro Logic II mode uses the built-in circuit to steer the Left, Center, Right and Surround left and right channel audio signals and uses all five speakers to play both stereo and Dolby Pro Logic program source, such as TV and VCR. Dolby Pro Logic II includes Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic II Music and Dolby Pro Logic Emulation.

You can use this mode to suit any stereo program source (such as VCR / SAT) to enjoy multi-channel sound experience).

Dolby 3 Stereo

The 3 Stereo mode will redirect the Surround signals to the front left and right speakers when only the front and center speakers are used.

Dolby Digital

The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides better sound quality and a more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.

This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel so that you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround sound. Different from Dolby Pro Logic in that only four channels ( Front Left, Front Right, Centre and Rear ) are used, the new system provides stereo separation of the rear speakers (Rear-Right, Rear-Left ). Adding the to the 5 channels the subwoofer channel for bass sounds (counted as 0.1 channel) results in 5.1 channels (or 6 Channels) that bring you the most sophisticated Dolby Digital sound enjoyment.

Digital Theater Systems (DTS))

DTS is a digital surround system which delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio. It offers five full-range channels plus a special low frequency effect (LFE) channel for subwoofer, resulting in what is commonly known as 5.1 channels. It can be applied with existing 5.1 speaker configurations.

DTS is available in DVD and CD mode.

Fine Setting of the Components

The receiver can be directly turned on by pressing the SOURCE Buttons (like DVD/CD, SAT), which also selects the best surround sound mode. The default surround modes for different components are as tabled below. If you decide to change the surround mode, you can press the AUDIO button repeatedly to toggle among the different surround mode choices and select the one you want.

The receiver will keep the last selection in memory as long as it doesn’t enter standby mode.

Input Signal Setting

The receiver defaults to the most convenient settings for your easiest use (see table).

Analog Input

Select this setting to play analog signals from VCR or SAT.

DSP (Digital Sound Processor)

These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real environment such as Arena, Jazz Club, Theater, Stadium and Disco. DSP automatically converts analog audio signals to digital ones which enables you to adjust the sound without degrading the sound quality. Different modes will give you different feels of size and types of listening environment. (Not available in Dolby Digital and DTS)

Night Mode

By using Dynamic Range Compression technology, you can enjoy enhanced Dolby Digital sound quality at night without interrupting your roommates or neighbors. Night Mode will compress the volume difference between normal voices and sounds such as explosions, while still enjoying a Dolby Digital DVD experience. Night Mode can be activated by pressing the NIGHT button on the remote, DRC SOFT (Default) will appear on the display. While DRC SOFT (Default) is still on the display, press the LEFT or RIGHT adjustment buttons,around the OK button, until you select the desired mode. There are three modes (OFF, SOFT, SOFTER) for you to choose the extents of compression.

Fine Setting of the Speakers

All the basic settings have already been pre-set for the speakers included in the box.

However, to make the surround sound more effective and suit the acoustic conditions in your listening room, you may need to delay the signal coming from some of the speakers. Channel delay compensates for center or surround speakers that are closer to the listening position than the front speakers.

You may setup the speakers channel by channel: first, press the MENU button while in stop mode to enter the setup menu, then choose Speaker Setup.

To change the speaker size

In the speaker setup menu, press the left or right button to select a speaker. When the speaker picture is selected, you may press the up or down button to adjust the speaker size. The speaker size selection allows you to setup the device for larger size speakers, such as floor stand speakers.

To change the speaker distance

In the speaker setup menu, press the left or right button to select a speaker. When the speaker distance column is selected, you may press the up/down button to adjust the distance from the front, rear and center speakers individually.

To change the speaker level

In the speaker setup menu, press the left or right button to select a speaker. When the speaker level column is selected, you may press the up/down button to adjust the level of the front, rear and center speakers individually.

To test the speaker setting

In the speaker setup menu, press the left or right button to select the "test" column, then press OK to activate. A short noise will then come from the speakers, one speaker at a time.

IMPORTANT NOTE

• The speakers provided with this unit are considered as small speakers. DO NOT select the large speaker setting as this may shorten the life of the speakers and affect the unit performance. We recommend to NOT change the speaker size setting if you use the speakers included in the box.

• Always use the subwoofer for optimum sound quality.

Speaker Icons

The receiver shows you the speakers’ settings on the display with the following icons:

Displaying Program Formats

When a digital source starts playing, the receiver automatically switches to the proper surround mode and provides setting information via the speaker icons located on the right-hand side of the display. (See diagram)

It is important to note, however, that not all Dolby Digital sources are encoded with the full complement of five channels plus LFE*. Speaker icons show how many and which speaker you have enabled (See “Fine Setting of the Speakers”) and the letters inside the speaker icons show which channel is present in the source information. For example, the diagram shown means you have all five speakers and subwoofer enabled and the digital sources you played have five channels plus LFE complemented. (Dolby Digital 5.1 Channels)

* LFE stands for Low Frequency Effect. The indication “LFE” appears if the digital source contains LFE information. In this case, the bass signal will be delivered to the subwoofer, offering more dynamic deep bass sound effects. If the letter

is flashing, the signal is either too weak or just gone.

Handling discs

• Do not touch the signal surfaces.

• Hold discs by the edges, or by one edge and the hole.

• Do not affix labels or adhesive tapes to the label surfaces.

• Do not scratch or damage the label. Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player.

• Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

Cleaning discs

• Dirty discs can cause poor sound and visual quality. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter. Never wipe the disc in a circular motion since circular scratches are likely to occur and could cause noise during playback.

• If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs. Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to disc surface

Disc lens care

• When your disc lens gets dirty it can also cause the system to output poor sound and visual quality. To clean the lens you will need to purchase a disc lens cleaner which can maintain the output sound and visual quality of your system. For instructions on cleaning the disc lens, refer to the ones accompanying the lens cleaner.

Important battery information
