Important

Read this section before setting up or operating your new music system

The Techwood DD81 music system is a “state-of-the-art” digital home theater music system. It is equipped with built-in, Dolby Digital Surround Sound, and is ready for the addition of digital audio/video components such as DVD, DSS (digital satellite) and HDTV (high definition TV). This section describes some of the features and Important things you need to know before proceeding with set-up or operation.

The DD81 is equipped with three built-in music sources that can be enjoyed by simply pressing one of the corresponding function buttons on the front panel or remote control after initial set-up has been completed.

Tuner Plays AM and FM Stereo radio broadcasts CD Plays music CD’s Tape Plays and records cassette tapes

You can also connect optional audio/video components to the DD81 and create a true “Home Theater” experience in your home. This allows the audio sound from the video components to play through the DD81 music system. You can connect up to three of the following video components:

TV/AUX Television (regular or HDTV), Cable or Satellite Boxes DVD Digital video disc player VCR Video cassette recorder/player

To enjoy “Home Theater” surround sound, the Techwood DD81 is equipped with three different types of Dolby Surround Sound plus, two simulated surround modes. The type of surround sound used to create your “Home Theater” experience will depend on the video component being played, the type of audio connection (analog or digital) made to the rear of the DD81 jack panel and the source material being played. To enjoy true Dolby Surround Sound, the source material must be recorded or broadcast in either Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Digital Surround Sound. Source material recorded or broadcast in stereo, such as radio broadcasts, CD’s, cassette tapes or TV programs can be played using the Hall or Theater Simulated surround sound modes.

Surround Sound Modes

1) Hall (simulated)

2) Theater (simulated)

3) Dolby 3 Stereo

4) Dolby Pro Logic

5) Dolby Digital (Digital connection and Dolby Digital source required)

The first four types of surround sound will operate when using an analog, stereo audio signal from the tuner, CD, cassette, TV, VCR, cable or satellite box.

The fifth type, Dolby Digital, will only operate when a digital component such as a DVD player, Digital Cable Box, Digital Satellite (DSS) or HDTV is connected to one of the three digital audio inputs on the rear of the DD81 and when a program or disc encoded in Dolby Digital Surround Sound is played.

IMPORTANT: Dolby Digital Surround Sound will not operate with an analog audio signal from the tuner, CD, cassette, standard TV, VCR or cable box.

Since the DD81 is ready for the addition of digital audio/video components such as a DVD player, High Definition TV (HDTV) or Digital Cable or Satellite Box, there are digital audio input jacks on the rear of the unit. Digital audio inputs are included for the AUX/TV and DVD functions. This allows you to connect up to two digital audio/video components – one to the AUX/TV function and another to the DVD function.

MODE/RIFMODE/RIF REC/PAUSEREC/PAUSE

Use the Digital Input selector on the front panel or on the remote control to select between analog and digital inputs. This must be done when using the AUX/TV and/or DVD functions on the DD81. Once the input signal is set for each of these functions, the DD81 will remember the input type for all future uses. Specific instructions for connecting digital audio/video components to the DD81 are included below. It is recommended you read these instructions before starting set-up.

Digital audio input jacks for connecting digital audio/video components

There are three digital input jacks and one digital output jack on the rear of the DD81. To enjoy the built-in Dolby Digital Surround Sound feature, you must use a digital connection when connecting a digital audio/video component such as a DVD player or digital cable box.

To connect a DVD player, use a single coaxial cable with RCA type jacks on both ends (available at your local electronics store). Connect one end to the Digital Coaxial audio output on the DVD player and the other end to the Digital Coaxial audio input on the rear of the DD81 (see page 8 for connection diagram).

To connect a digital TV (HDTV), cable or satellite box, use a coaxial or optical audio cable (available at your local electronics store). Connect one end to the Digital audio output on the TV/cable/satellite box and the other end to the Digital audio input marked TV/AUX on the rear of the DD81. (Note, some digital cable and satellite boxes do not have digital audio outputs. In this case, you should connect the box to the DD81 using a standard analog audio cable with dual RCA type jacks on each end. Connect one end to the two analog audio output jacks on the rear of the box and the other end to the TV/AUX analog audio input jacks on the rear of the DD81(see pg. 9 for connection diagram).

Digital Input Selector

If you connect any audio/video component to the AUX/TV or DVD audio inputs on the rear of the DD81 (ie: TV, DVD, cable/satellite box), you must select the type of audio signal used for each component connected. This must be done during initial set-up and before operating the DD81. Using the Digital Input selector on the front panel or remote control, select the appropriate input type used as follows:

Function Select Audio Input Signal Used

AUX/TV Analog – Optical – Coaxial DVD Analog - Coaxial

After this first-time setting, the DD81 will memorize the type of audio input selected for all future uses.

Important: If you connect audio/video components to the AUX/TV or DVD functions of the DD81 and after initial set-up you cannot hear audio sound, check which type of audio input has been selected. If the audio input selected does not match the type of audio input actually used, you will not hear any sound. Press the Digital Input Selector button one time to see which input has been selected. With the input still illuminated in the display, press again to change the input.

If you have any questions about operating the DD81 home theater music system, call the Techwood product support center at 888-440-3465, Monday to Friday, 8AM – 4PM CST.

DOLBY DIGITAL Surround

Dolby Digital is a surround sound format that uses a digital audio signal. It is the audio format used for most Digital Video Discs (DVD) and for digital high definition television broadcasts over-the-air and through digital cable and satellite boxes. Federal law requires all television broadcasts to be made in high definition format by 2006. Therefore, Dolby Digital will become the dominant surround sound format in the future. This DD81 music system is ready when you are for adding digital TV and other digital audio/video components.

Dolby Digital recordings and broadcasts have 6 channels of sound for the most authentic theater experience. These six channels are sometimes referred to as 5.1 channels – five full-range and one low frequency effects (LFE) channel. The LFE channel has special low frequencies that can be played back through an optional powered subwoofer. This creates frequencies so low, you can “feel” them. The digital signals used in Dolby Digital provide the most accurate sound reproduction available.

satellite boxes. Although not normally used for radio broadcasts and music on CD’s and cassette tapes, the Dolby Pro Logic surround sound function can be used for these sources when they are broadcast or recorded in stereo. Dolby Pro Logic requires a stereo audio signal to operate – it does not work with mono audio signals.

Dolby Pro Logic offers 5 channels of sound:

1) Front left channel

2) Front right channel

3) Center channel

4) Rear channel (2 speakers)

The DD81 Dolby Pro Logic surround sound function operates when:

An optional stereo television, Hi-Fi VCR or DVD player is connected to the audio inputs on the rear of the DD81.

The program source (tape, disc or broadcast) is recorded in Dolby Pro Logic Surround Sound .

And, the digital input selector is properly set according to the connection made between the component and the DD81.

The DD81 built-in, Dolby Digital surround sound processor will only operate when:

An optional digital audio/video component

such as a DVD player, HDTV, digital cable

or digital satellite box is connected to the DD81.

The optional component is connected to the DVD or AUX/TV digital inputs on the rear of

the DD81.

The program source (disc or broadcast) is recorded in Dolby Digital Surround Sound .

And, the digital input selector is properly set according to the type of audio connection made between the component and the DD81.
