Features

Digital AV Receiver

This product is a pure digital AV receiver that performs
digital signal processing to minimize signal distortion and
loss.

Dolby Pro Logic II

DPL II processes any high quality stereo signal source
into fi ve separate full frequency channels.

DTS 96/24

DTS 96/24 encodes standard 16 bit/44.1 kHz sound to

24 bit/96kHz and applies it to a 5.1 CH sound track.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

DTS provides a discrete 5.1 CH digital audio signal for
both music and movie contents and uses less
compression than Dolby Digital for richer sound.

ACCESSORIES

iPod

You can enjoy music fi les by connecting your iPod/iPhone
to the AV Receiver with the supplied iPod dock.

SFE (Sound Field Effect) Using
32bit Audio Digital Signal
Processing

Provides more realistic surround sound with normal
stereo audio sources.

Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) Function

Anynet+ is a function that can be used to operate this
AV Receiver with a Samsung TV remote control, by
connecting the receiver to a SAMSUNG TV using an
HDMI Cable. (This function is available only in
connection with Samsung TV and DVD player
supporting Anynet+(HDMI-CEC).)

Position of AV Receiver

Place the AV Receiver on a dedicated stand or rack.

Subwoofer

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

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 ears.

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 speaker.

HW-C500-C560S-XAC_0616.indd 14HW-C500-C560S-XAC_0616.indd 14 2010-06-16  2:07:542010-06-16  2:07:54

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.

Surround 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 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90cm) above your ears, facing slightly downward.

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

When you attach the speakers to the wall, make sure to fasten them tightly so they do not fall off.

Speaker Confi guration
