connections

This section involves various methods of connecting the Blu-ray Home Cinema to other external components. Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Connecting the Speakers

Position of the Blu-ray Home Cinema

Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.

Selecting the Listening Position

The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the TV. Example : For 32" TVs 2~2.4m (6~8feet)

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

Front Speakersei

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 f

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.

Surround Speakers hj

Place these speakers to the side of 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

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.

18

Connecting The Speakers

1.	Press down the terminal tab on the back of the speaker.		gB
. Insert the black wire into the black terminal (–) and the red wire into
	the red (+) terminal, and then release the tab.
3.	Connect the connecting plugs to the back of the Blu-ray Home	Black	Red
	Cinema by matching the colors of the speaker plugs to the speaker
	jacks.		●

Subwoofer Speaker

Do not let children play with or near the speakers. They could get hurt if a speaker falls.

When connecting the speaker wires to the speakers, make sure that the polarity (+/–) is correct.

Keep the subwoofer speaker out of reach of children so as to prevent children from inserting their hands or alien substances into the duct (hole) of the subwoofer speaker.

Do not hang the subwoofer on the wall through the duct (hole).

M If you place a speaker near your TV set, screen color may be distorted because of the magnetic fi eld generated by the speaker. If this occurs, place the speaker away from your TV set.

Connecting the Video Out to your TV

Choose one of the three methods for connecting to a TV.

.......METHOD 1 : HDMI	(Best Quality)

Connect the HDMI cable from the HDMI OUT jack on the back of the Blu-ray Home Cinema to the HDMI IN jack on your TV.

M Depending on your TV, certain HDMI output resolutions may not work.

If an HDMI cable is connected from the player to a TV, the Blu-ray Home Cinema’s output is set to HDMI automatically within 10 seconds.

If you are using the Anynet + feature (see page 42) and Component and HDMI are both connected, HDMI mode is automatically selected.

When you connect the player to the TV using the HDMI cable for the first time or to a new TV, the HDMI output resolution will be automatically set to the highest provided by the TV.

If you connect a Samsung TV to the Blu-ray Home Cinema using an HDMI cable, the player can be easily operated using the TV remote control. (This is only available with Samsung TVs that support the Anynet+ feature.)

(See page 42)

If the HDMI cable is connected or removed during playback of a CDDA, MP3 or JPEG file, the player will stop playing.

After making the video connection, set the Video input source on your TV to match the corresponding Video output (HDMI, Component or Composite) on your Home Cinema.

See your TV owner's manual for more information on how to select the TV's Video Input source.

HDMI Auto Detection Function

The player's video output will automatically change to HDMI mode when connecting an HDMI cable while power is on. For possible HDMI resolutions, see page 38.

•HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single connector.

Using HDMI, the Blu-ray Home Cinema transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having an HDMI input jack.

•HDMI connection description

HDMI connector - Supports video and digital audio data.

-HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.

-If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random noise appears on the screen.

•Why does Samsung use HDMI?

Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a BD/DVD, the data

transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the Blu-ray Home Cinema) or an analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and signal loss. HDMI technology is superior because it requires no D/A conversion and is a pure digital signal from the player to your TV.

•What is the HDCP?

HDCP (High-band width Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting BD/DVD content outputted via HDMI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device (TV, projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the source device to prevent unauthorized copies from being made.

•What is Anynet+?

Anynet+ is a convenient function that offers linked operation of this unit through Samsung TVs with the Anynet+ feature.

- If your Samsung TV has an logo, then it supports the Anynet+ function.

-If you turn on the player and insert a disc, the player will start playing the disc, and the TV will turn on automatically and switch to HDMI mode.

-If you turn on the player and press the Play button with a disc already inserted, the TV will immediately turn on and switch to HDMI mode.

METHOD 2 : Component Video .... (Better Quality)

If your television is equipped with Component Video inputs, connect a Component video cable(not supplied) from the Component Video Output (Pr, Pb and Y) Jacks on the back of the Blu-ray Home Cinema to the Component Video Input Jacks on your TV.

M You can select from a variety of resolution settings such as 1080i, 720p, 576p/480p and 576i/480i, depending on the disc type. (See page 38)

The actual resolution may differ from the setting in the SETUP menu if both Component and HDMI cables are connected. The resolution may also be different depending on the disc. (See page 38)

After making the video connection, set the Video input source on your TV to match the corresponding Video output (HDMI, Component or Composite) on your Home Cinema.

See your TV owner's manual for more information on how to select the TV's Video Input source.

METHOD 3 : Composite Video .......

(Good Quality)

Connect the supplied Video cable from the VIDEO OUT jack on the back of the Blu-ray Home Cinema to the VIDEO IN jack on your TV.

M The VIDEO source is always output in 576i/480i resolution regardless of the resolution set in the SETUP menu. (See page 38)

After making the video connection, set the Video input source on your TV to match the corresponding Video output (HDMI, Component or Composite) on your Home Cinema.

See your TV owner's manual for more information on how to select the TV's Video Input source.
