The openings should never be blocked by placing the video product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This video product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been followed.

POWER CORD PROTECTION

Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

CLEANING

Unplug this video product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

LIGHTNING

For added protection of this video product receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the video product due to lightning and power-line surges.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the video product.

ACCESSORIES

CONNECTIONS

Position of the Home Theater

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

•

TV stand.

Front Speakers

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

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.

•

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 (6~8 feet)

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

Rear Speakers

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

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical.

•

Place it anywhere you like.

Front Speaker (R)

Press and hold the terminal tab.

Insert the speaker cord.

Release your finger.

Caution

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.

P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function

ENG

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

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.

Press STOP button.

If playing a disc, press the STOP button twice so that “STOP”, appears on the display.

•

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.

When you select P.SCAN, "P.SCAN" will appear on the display.

•

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.

METHOD 1 Composite Video

METHOD 2 Component (Progressive Scan) Video

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 television.

When the Progressive scan mode is selected, the VIDEO output (Yellow) does not

...............

Best Quality

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.

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 capabilities of your TV, this function may not work.

•

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.
