In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front speakers, centre speaker, 2 surround speakers and subwoofer). If you want to play the excellent bass sound, DTS digital surround or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect a subwoofer.
•Front speakers
According to your listening position set up the speakers for equal distance. And by hearing position set up the inter val between speakers to 45 degree.
• Centre speaker
The centre speakers and front speakers are ideally the same height.But normally place it above or below the television.
• Surround speakers
Place left and right behind the listening area.These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround sound playback.For best results, do not install the surround speakers too far behind the listening position and install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears.It is also effective to direct the surround speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound. In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall set the surround speakers opposite each other, and set the surround speakers above 60 - 90 cm than the listener’s ears.
• Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.

Mini Glossary for Audio Stream & Surround mode
DTS
Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources such as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio(which means identical to the original masters) and results in excep­tional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.
DOLBY DIGITAL
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital pro­gram source. If you play DVDs with “ ” mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC
Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel which carries the “ ” mark. This mode provides the effect
of being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an effect with an intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/right movement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynam­ic than before.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources.This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
PLII MOVIE mode:
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround.The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete
5.1-channel sound.
PLII MUSIC mode:
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings.
Sound Mode
You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to.

Notes on MP3 Files
About MP3
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme.We call files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.
The DVD Receiver can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.
MP3 Disc compatibility with this DVD Receiver is limited as follows:
Sampling Frequency :only at 44.1kHz
Bit rate : within 32 - 320kbps
CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”
If you record MP3 files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, it is impossible to playback MP3 files.
A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3 files.If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.
File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate “.mp3” extension e.g.“********.mp3”.
Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ” etc.
Total number of files on the disc should be less than
650.
This DVD Receiver requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards.There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files).That require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.
Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

Notes on JPEG Files
Depending upon the size and number of the JPEG files, it could take a long time for the DVD Receiver to read the disc’s contents.If you don’t see an on-screen display after several minutes, some of the files are too big — reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 2 mega pixels and burn another disc.
Total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 650.
Some disc may be incompatible due to different recording format or condition of disc.
When you are using software to burn the jpeg files
into the CD-R, ensure that all the selected files have the “.jpg” extensions when copying into the CD layout.
If the files have “.jpe” or “.jpeg” extensions, please
rename them as “.jpg” files.
File names without “.jpg” extension will not be able to
be read by this DVD Receiver, even though the files are shown as JPEG image files in windows explorer.
