Insert Remote Batteries

1 Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote by pressing down and sliding the cover in the direction of the arrow.

2 Insert two 1.5V AAA batteries, paying attention to the correct polarities (+ and –).

PREPARATION

3 Replace the battery cover.

Caution	Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
	• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:(+) to (+)and (–)to (–).

•Use the correct type of batteries.Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage.

•Always replace both batteries at the same time.

•Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

Range of Operation of the Remote Control

The remote control can be used up to approximately 23 feet/7 meters in a straight line. It can also be operated at a horizontal angle of up to 30° from the remote control sensor.

Connecting the Speakers

Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

	For 55" TVs 3.5~4m (11~13 feet)

Front Speakers L R

•Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.

•Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ear.

•Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers.

Center Speaker C

•It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers.

•You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

Rear Speakers SL SR

•Place these speakers behind your listening position.

•If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each other.

•Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing slightly downward.

*Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.

Subwoofer SW

•The position of the subwoofer is not so critical.

Place it anywhere you like.

METHOD 1 Composite Video ....... (Good Quality)

-Connect the supplied video cable from the VIDEO OUT jack on the back panel of the system to the VIDEO IN jack on your TV.

METHOD 2

-If your television is equipped with an S-Video input, connect an S-Video cable (not supplied) from the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the back panel of the system to the S-VIDEO IN jack on your television.

METHOD 3

-If your television is equipped with Component Video inputs, connect a component video cable (not supplied) from the Pr, Pb and Y jacks on the back panel of the system to the corresponding jacks on your TV.

Note	• When the Progressive scan mode is selected, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed any
	signal.

P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function	GB

Unlike regular Interlace Scan, in which two fields of picture information alternate to create the entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture without visible scan lines.

1 Press STOP button.

• When disc is played back, press the STOP button twice so that “STOP”, appears on the display.

2 Press and hold P.SCAN button on the remote control for over 5 seconds.

•	Pressing and holding the button for over 5 seconds will select "Progressive Scan" and "Interlace Scan"
	alternately.	CONNECTIONS
•	When you select P.SCAN, "P.SCAN" will appear on the display.	CONNECTIONS
•
•	To set P.Scan mode for DivX discs, press the P.SCAN button on the remote control for more than
	5 seconds with no disc in the unit (“'NO DISC" on the display), then load the DivX disc and play.

What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?

In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field contains every other horizontal line in the frame.

The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame.

One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are displayed every 1/60th of a second.

The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing a still object.

The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of video consecutively down the screen, line by line.

An entire image is drawn at one time, as opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a video image is drawn in a series of passes.

The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing with moving objects.


Note	•	This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support
		Progressive Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive

	•	scan TVs.)
	•	Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.
