Speaker setup
We recommend you to set up a multi-speaker system to enjoy the 5.1 channel surround sound of sources encoded with Dolby
Digital, MPEG or DTS.
m Speaker configuration
The most recommended speaker configuration is the 6 speaker
configuration: 2 main speakers, 2 effect speakers, a center
speaker and a subwoofer.
The main speakers are used for the main source sound. The
effect speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds,
and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.).
The subwoofer is for reinforcing low frequencies on your audio
system and low frequency effect sounds of the subwooferchannel.
For China and General models only
This unit is designed to output signals of 5.1 channels
efficiently according to your speaker system if you cannot set
up a full 6 speaker configuration. It depends on the setting of “3
Speaker” on the SET UP menu. Refer to pages 62 to 63 for
details. However, this setting is effective only on audio signals
output from the 6CH DISCRETE terminals.
m Placing speakers
Main speakers: On both sides of the TV and almost the
same height as the TV.
Effect speakers: Behind your listening position, facing
slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6
feet) up from the floor.
Center speaker: Precisely between the main speakers.
(To avoid interference with TV sets, use a
magnetically shielded speaker.)
Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so
critical because low bass tones are not
highly directional.

Connections
When you connect this unit to an AV amplifier or receiver
equipped with a Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS decoder, connect
this unit’s OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) terminal to the amplifier’s
optical (or coaxial) digital signal input terminal.
* If the amplifier and Dolby Digital (or MPEG or DTS) decoder
are separated, connect this unit’s OPTICAL (or COAXIAL)
terminal to the decoder’s optical (or coaxial) digital signal
input terminal.
* When you use the Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS decoder, be
sure to use “1 Digital Output” on the SET UP menu of this
unit to select the “Disc Original” mode for “Dolby Digital”,
“MPEG” or “DTS”. (Refer to page 59 for details.)
Also, connect this unit’s MIXED 2CH AUDIO OUT terminals to
the amplifier’s analog signal input terminals regardless of
making the digital terminal connection. This is necessary for
playing back a source in 2 channel stereo or with Dolby Pro
Logic decoded.
A digital terminal connection is necessary between this
unit and the amplifier (or decoder) for sending the
playback signals of a source encoded with Dolby Digital,
MPEG or DTS to the amplifier (or decoder). This
connection allows you to enjoy a theater-like surround
sound in your home.
Caution: Plug in this unit and other components after all connections are completed.
All connections must be correct, observing the color coding of terminals between this unit and other components.

Notes on connecting to this unit’s OPTICAL terminal
●
Before using this terminal, remove the terminal’s cover by
pulling it.
●
Make the connection from this terminal to the optical input
terminal of an amplifier by using a commercially available
optical fiber cable.
* Use an optical fiber cable that conforms to EIAJ
standards. Other cables might not function correctly.
●
Be sure to attach the terminal’s cover when this terminal is
not being used, in order to protect the terminal from dust.
When you connect this unit’s OPTICAL or COAXIAL
terminal to the optical or coaxial digital input
terminal of the amplifier which does not include a
Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS decoder
Use “1 Digital Output” on the SET UP menu to select the
“PCM” mode for “Dolby Digital” and “MPEG”, and select the
“OFF” mode for “DTS”. (Refer to page 59 for details.)
Digital signal output from this unit
For a DVD disc only, the format of digital signal output from this
unit can be selected by the setting of “1 Digital Output” on the
SET UP menu. (See page 59.)
For your reference:
●
Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While
CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are recorded in
48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.
●
If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder or your AV
amplifier includes a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you
will obtain the full benefit of Dolby Pro Logic from the same
DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
sound tracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround
mark.
●
Digital signal for linear PCM (48 kHz 20/24 bit) will be
converted into 48 kHz 16 bit and will be output if a DVD you
play back is formatted with code scramble system
(copyright-protection).
