Preparing the Remote Control
Preparation
Put the batteries in the Remote Control.
Check +/polarity
Press h
Press the h mark and slide off the back
cover.
Insert the two supplied batteries (AA, R06,
UM-3) into the battery compartment.
Close the back cover.
Preparing the Speakers
The Front Speakers, Surround Speakers, Center Speaker and Subwoofer have special roles based on the type of sound each produces.
• The Front Speakers produce front channel sound (stereo) and sound effects.
• The Surround Speakers produce surround sound and sound effects.
• The Center Speaker produces sound oriented toward the center of the screen such as dialog or vocals.
• The Subwoofer produces bass sounds and the LFE signal contained in Dolby Digital and DTS.
Placing the Speakers

Preparation
Place the speakers as shown in the diagram below.

Surround
Speaker (L)
Advice
• You can secure the Center Speaker, Surround Speakers or
Subwoofer in place using fasteners or non-skid pads. You can
hang the Front and Surround Speakers from the wall or attach
them to optional speaker stands.
See page 53, “Placing the Speakers (NX-P120)”.
Front Speakers (L, R)
Place the Front Left and Right Speakers an equal distance from
the ideal listening position. The distance of each speaker from
each side of the video monitor should be the same.
Center Speaker
Align the front face of the center speaker with the front face of
your video monitor. Place the speaker as close to the monitor as
possible (such as directly over or under the monitor) and
centrally between the front speakers.
Surround Speakers (L, R)
Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing
slightly inwards, approximately 1.8 m (6 feet) above the floor.
Subwoofer
The position of the Subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass
sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the
Subwoofer near the Front Speakers. Turn it slightly toward the
center of the room to reduce wall reflections.
English
Note
• If the television (monitor) image is distorted, place the
speakers away from the television.

Advice
Finding the Best DSP Effect
Changing the DSP effect based on listening and viewing content
Select a DSP Program for the movie or music and experience the sound of a
movie theater or concert hall. Follow the chart below to select the DSP
Program that offers the acoustic qualities you want.
• Experiment with different sound field effects until you find the DSP Program that you feel best matches
your source.
• CinemaStation has other DSP Programs not listed below. See page 64, “Selecting DSP ProgramEffects”.

As shown on the left, CinemaStation is composed of three
main parts. Remote Control button operations change
depending on the mode, so it is possible to control all
Amplifier, DVD/CD and Tuner functions with a single
remote unit.
For example, in Amp mode the “3” button is used to select
Matrix 6.1, but in DVD/CD mode, it functions as a
numerical button that specifies time, track and other
numbers.
The Remote Control can also operate a television or VCR
connected to CinemaStation. However, it is first necessary
to enter the manufacturer code for the equipment in the
Remote Control’s memory. See page 83, “Storing
Manufacturer Codes in the Remote Control”.
To switch modes, follow the steps below.
• Amp mode: Press AMP.
• DVD/CD mode: Press DVD/CD. See page 23, “DVD/CD
Mode Button Names and Functions”.
• Tuner mode: Press TUNER.For details on Tuner operations, see page 39, “Listening
to the Radio”.

them within two minutes to preserve the memory in the Remote
Control.
