DVD play er s (and discs) have many features which are not available on any other movie playback medium (such as VHS or even original films themselves).

In addition to the software on a disc being physically much smaller and easier to store than the older VHS format, the life span of a DVD disc is much longer than a VHS tape and able to retain the movie for many more years. Additionally, the main point of DVD s is to allow you to view the movies in your own customised way. The options are almost limitless for customised viewing from languages to angles to scenes to speeds to sounds and track mixes, etc.

SPEAKER SYSTEM CONNECTIONS

Tips for connecting the speaker wires

Unw ind and stretch out the speaker wires at tach ed wi th e ach spea ke rs , then pu sh and hold down the set termina l tab on the back of the main set to insert each wire. Make sure the wire is fully inserted, but the insulation is not covering the inserted part of the speaker wires.

To avoid short-circuiting the speakers

Ma ke s ure the strippe d end of each s pea ker wir e do e s not tou c h an o the r spea ker term ina l or the stri p p ed end of another speaker wire.

Examples of poor connection of the speaker wires

Stripped spe aker wire is to uc hi ng ano t h er set t ermi nal.

Make sure not even 1 strand of wire touches the other wire!

NOTE:

Be sure to match the speaker wire to the appropriate terminal on the back of the main set: (+) to (+) (colour), and (-) to (-) (black). If the wires are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack some tones. Follow the colour codes of each terminals.

S tripped wire s are touching ea c h ot he r du e to exc essive

removal of i ns ulati on. Do not allow the ab ove to hap pen on

you r s e t.

NOTE: If longer wires are n eeded , you may bu y a ny go od qu ality speaker wire and sp lice the wires yourself. Please make sure the wires are not shorting to each other and observe the correct

co lou r p olarity. M an y sp eak er w ires h ave a dotted line or solid line

or raised rib on on e side to identify each side. Also make sure you use electrical tape to co ver your splices.

SPEAKER POSITIONING INFORMATION

Your system is supplied with 5 compac t si zed s ate llit e s pea k er s and one large sub woo fer. The satellite spea kers reproduce only the midrange and higher fr equen cies. All o f t he lo w f requency (ba ss ) s ounds a re p ro d u c ed b y th e s u b w o o f e r . Proper po sit ioning an d placement of t he s pe akers is imp ort ant in o r d e r to pro vide the best surround soun d experience. We understand that due to the size and shape of your l istening room, a nd the loc ation of your furniture, you m ay not be able to set up the speakers exactly as pe r these diagrams. However the se simp le guidelines will help you maximise your home theatre experience.

Your Usual Se at

POSITION ALL 5 SPEAKERS APPROX IMATELY AT THE

SAME DISTANCE FROM YOUR LISTENING POSITION.

POSITION THE SUBWOOFER AS BELOW.

NOTE : You may only place the CENTRE spe aker (blue terminals) or the FRO NT spe akers (red t erminals) on or near your TV

set or computer monitor. The se speakers have magne tic shielding inside. If you put the REAR speakers near your TV s e t o r c o m pu te r m o n it o r, t he c o lou rs o n y o u r T V o r c o m pu t e r m on it o r m a y c han g e.

Note the speaker levels are pre-set at the factory and most people will not need to fine tune the sound of each speaker. We suggest you skip this part at fir st. Later on you can fine tune the sound le vel of each sp ea ke r. S e e P a g e 3 4. Although all 5 satellites are of the same size, the speakers inside the

cabinets are different. The speaker wires on the back of the cabinets are colour-coded, as are the speaker terminals on the back of the main unit. Refer to the connection diagram on page 5.

Be sure you are u si ng the corr ec t satellite s peaker in eac h lo cation, front, rear a nd center. Pl ea se follow t he c olours for be st results. This is espec ially impor ta nt for the ce nt er speaker.

For best surround sound ef fects, all 5 of the satellite speakers should

be roughly at the same distance from your usual listening position.

POSITION THE SPEAKERS LIKE THIS FOR OPTIMAL LISTENNING EXPERIENCE

All 5 satellite speakers should be placed approximately the same distance from your listening position. The cen tre spea ker shou ld be placed directly abo ve (or be low) the TV set. Le ft and righ t fron t spea kers shou ld be app roximately

at the same height as the centre speaker.

The rear speakers should be either in line with, or behind your listening position, approximately at ear level, or slightly above. The subwoofer should be on the floor near the TV, or in any corner, b ut reme mbe r you need a clear path to your remote (Don t

block this set with a curtain).

All speakers must be visible. Do not hide them behind curtains, furniture, etc, as this will affect the sound. You may only place the centre speaker (blue wires) or front speaker (red wires) near or above the TV set because these

speakers are magnetically shielded.

SPEAKER POSITIONING INFORMATION

ATELLITE SPEAKERS

· The centre speaker, as well as the other 4 satellites, can be positioned either vertically or horizontally.

· The left front, right front, and centre speakers should be placed at roughly the same height. The centre speaker reproduces most of the dialogue spoken by the actors on the TV screen, therefore it should be placed either directly above or below the centre of the TV set. Once you position the centre speaker, try to position the left front and right front speakers at the same height. It is not recommended to place any of the satellite speakers on the floor. Many people prefer to place the centre speaker horizontally above the TV set.

· The left rear and right rear speakers can be placed in line with your listening position or behind your listening position. Ideally they should be placed slightly above your ear level when you are seated in your normal listening position.

· We have provided 2-way keyhole openings on the back of

all the satellite speakers that allow the satellite speakers to be wall mounted in either a vertical or horizontal position.

· The subwoofer will provide the most dramatic bass effects (low frequency sounds) when it is placed on the floor. Do not place the subwoofer on a stand or table. The subwoofer should be placed in the front of the room so that it is facing toward your listening position. It can be placed on either side of the TV or even in the corner of the room, as far away as the cable will allow. The bass sounds from the subwoofer are non-directional. You will not really be able to tell where the bass is coming from.

SUBWOOFER

· LONG ROOMS - In case your room is unusually long, you may buy speaker wires from your dealer for adding wire length to your speakers. Be careful not to allow the plus + and minus - wires to touch each other. Use electrical tape or plastic connectors to insulate the wires.
