IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Cont’d)

PAGE 6 INTRODUCTION

Precautions

❏

When shipping the DVD receiver, always use the
original shipping carton and packing materials.
For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was
originally packed at the factory.

❏

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near
the DVD receiver. Do not leave rubber or plastic
products in contact with the DVD receiver for a long
time. They will leave marks on the finish.

❏

The top and rear panels of the DVD receiver may
become warm after a long period of use. This is
normal and not a malfunction.

❏

When the DVD receiver is not in use, be sure to
remove the disc and turn off the power.

❏

If you do not use the DVD receiver for a long period,
the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn
on and use the DVD receiver occasionally.

❏

When you place this DVD receiver near a TV, radio, or
VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the
sound may be distorted. In this case, move the DVD
receiver away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

❏

For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent
solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe
it dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner
and benzine, as they may damage the surface of the
DVD receiver.

❏

If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the
unit, follow that product’s instructions.

Warning: Cleaning and adjustment of lenses
and/or other components of playback mechanism
should be performed by a qualified service
technician.

The DVD receiver is a high technology, precision device.
If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or
worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain
a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and
maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every
1,000 hours of use depending on the operating
environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

Moisture condensation damages the DVD receiver.
Please read the following carefully.

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when
you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day.
Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In
the same way, moisture may condense on the opti­cal pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most cru­cial internal parts of the DVD receiver.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following
cases.

❏

When you bring the DVD receiver directly from a
cold place to a warm place.

❏ When you use the DVD receiver in a room where you

just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold
wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

❏

In summer, when you use the DVD receiver in a hot
and humid place just after you move the unit from
an air conditioned room.

❏

When you use the DVD receiver in a humid place.

❏

Do not use the DVD receiver when moisture
condensation may occur.

If you use the DVD receiver in such a situation, it
may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the
disc, connect the power cord of the DVD receiver to
the wall outlet, turn on the DVD receiver and leave
it “ON” for two or three hours. After two or three
hours, the DVD receiver will have warmed up and
evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD receiver
connected to the wall outlet and moisture conden­sation will seldom occur.

is impossible to playback MP3 files. We therefore
recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which
creates an ISO9660 file system.

❍A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first

playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3 files,
format all the data in the disc or use a new one.

❍If there are already data files which are not MP3 files

on the CD-R disc, please, do not use that disc; use a
new one instead. However, if the disc is a CD-RW disc,
this does not apply.

The DVD Receiver memorizes the last sound mode
selected for each program source.

Whenever you select a program source, the sound mode
that was last applied is automatically applied again. For
example, if you listen to CD with HALL1 as the sound mode,
change to a different program source, then return to CD,
HALL1 will be applied again. With the tuner, sound fields are
memorized separately for all preset station.

•

You can identify the encoding format of program
software by looking at its packaging.

- Dolby Digital discs are labeled with the logo.

- Dolby Surround encoded programs are labeled with the
logo.

- DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with DTS.

❍When you play sound tracks with 96 kHz sampling frequency, the

output signals will be converted to 48 kHz (sampling frequency).

You can enjoy surround sound simply by select­ing one of the pre-programmed sound fields
according to the program you want to listen to.

SOUND MODE

BY PASS

Notes

Sound Mode Effect

Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources bearing
the trademark such as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc. 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.

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 DVD of laser discs with ““ mark, you can enjoy even better sound

quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range. This is because Dolby Digital delivers up to 5
totally discrete, audio channels (front left and right, center, and rear left and right), plus 0.1 channel called
LFE*(bass-only effects channel) *LFE=Low Frequency Extension. This channel delivers separate non­directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass sound effects.

Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel which carries the “” mark. This mode pro-
vides the effect of being in a movie theater 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.

When playing recordings of live music or classicals, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a
small concert hall.

When playing recordings of live music or classicals, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a
large concert hall.

This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar to that of movie theater.

2CH STEREO Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. Standard two channel (stereo) sources

completely bypass the sound field processing. This allows you to play any source using only the front left and
right speakers and subwoofer. You can select 2CH STEREO by pressing BY PASS on the remote control.

Speaker Setup for Enjoying the Surround Sound Effect

PAGE 34 SOUND OPERATION

DTS Digital Surround, Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic
technologies can be used to enjoy 3-dimensional sound
effects with video image. We recommend you use the
following devices.

• Hi-Fi Stereo VCR to play the program sources.

• Large screen TV monitor for a high-quality video image.

• Use the program sources (e.g. LD, DVD, VIDEO TAPE etc.)

labeled with DTS Digital Surround ( ) or Dolby Digital
Surround ( or ) Dolby Pro Logic Surround.

If the room is made of concrete and hard materials like wood
walls, you will not hear the ultimate surround effects. The
walls of the room must have the appropriate absorption factor
and be able to "reflect" the sound for the proper effect. If the
room has too much sound reflection, try repositioning the
furniture. You may also need to hang curtains etc. to absorb
more of the sound - experiment with the room’s acoustics.

A typical speaker setup uses 6 speakers: 2 front speakers, a
center speaker, 2 rear speakers, and a subwoofer. Add a sub­woofer to hear excellent bass sound, DTS digital surround or
Dolby Digital surround. Set up a listening position; a couch or
chairs, etc. as shown in the speaker positioning example.

• Front speakers

We recommend that the height of the tweeters of the front speakers
be at the same height as the listener’s ears, to the left and right of
the TV.
See speaker positioning example for speaker placement.

• Center speaker

Ideally, the center speaker and front speakers would be positioned at the
same height. Place the center speaker above or below the television.

• Rear speakers (Surround)

Place left and right surround speakers behind the listening area.
These speakers help recreate sound motion and atmosphere;
required for surround playback. For optimum sound effects, do not
place the rear speakers too far behind the listening position. Install
them at or above the height of the listener’s ears. It is also effective
to point the rear speakers toward a wall or ceiling, to further dis­perse the sound.
If the room is small and the listeners area is near the rear wall, set
the rear speakers opposite each other about 2 - 3 feet higher than
the listeners’ ears.

• Subwoofer

Place it an appropriate position. (See speaker positioning example.)

❍

We recommend that you use magnetic shielded
speakers for the front left/right speakers and center
speaker to prevent video noise from appearing on
the TV picture.

❍

Use speakers in your setup that have similar tonal
characteristics.

Delay Time Setting

The interval from the speakers to the listener. If the distance
from the listener to each speaker is the same in the Dolby
Digital and Dolby Pro Logic mode, the delay time of each
speaker is as follows.

In Dolby Digital mode

Center delay time : 0ms
Rear delay time: 5ms

In Dolby Pro Logic mode

Center delay time : (no setting)
Rear delay time : 15-30ms

If the rear delay time is set in Dolby Digital mode, in the Dolby
Pro Logic mode the delay time will be set automatically.
The delay time is 1 msec per foot.
If the center and rear speakers are further than the front speak­ers from the listener, the delay time will be set at minimum.

If the distance of DS is equal to or longer than the DF in the
left figure, set the Surround Delay Time as 0ms. Otherwise,
change the setting according to the specifications below.
Ex) If the distance from front speakers to the listener is 10 ft.
and from rear speakers from the listener is 5 ft., in the Dolby
Digital mode the rear delay time is 5 msec.
10 ft. (D

F) - 5 ft. (DS) = 5 ft. (B)

5 ft. (B) = 5 ft. / 1 ft. = 5msec

If the distance of D

F is equal to the distance of DC in the left

figure, set the Center Delay Time as 0ms. Otherwise, change
the setting according to the specifications below.
Ex) If the distance from the front speakers to the listener is
10 ft. and from the center speaker to the listener is 8 ft., the
center delay time is 2msec.
10 ft. (D

F) - 8 ft. (DC) = 2 ft. (A)

2 ft. (A) / 1 ft. = 2msec

Press DELAY.

The current surround delay time appears in the display
window.
You can select center delay time by pressing

FF/GG

in

the Dolby Digital mode only.

Press DD/EEto change the delay time.

If setting is complete, press DELAY.

Delay Time Setting

Surround delay time setting

Center delay time setting (Dolby Digital mode only)

Setting the delay time in the Dolby Digital

and Dolby Pro Logic modes

In Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic mode it is
assumed that the time it takes the sound from each
speaker to reach the listener, is the same. But if the
time interval from the center or rear left and right
speakers to the listener is closer than the time
interval from the listener to the front left and right
speaker, the sound of center or rear left and right
speaker will reach the listener first; instead of the
sound of the front speakers. (It is desirable that the
sound from the front speakers reach the listener
first.)
Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic modes provide
speaker time delay adjustments to resolve this
problem:; you can manually set the delay time of
the center or rear left and right speakers so that the
sound from all speakers will arrive simultaneously
to the listener.

❍

You can adjust the center delay time only in the
Dolby Digital mode; as you adjust it, the delay time
specified appears.
