Be sure to match the speaker cable to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cables are
reversed, the sound will be distorted  and will lack base.
•If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the

About Ferrite Core
Be sure to attach the ferrite core to the speaker cables 
(for connecting to this unit).
This ferrite core can reduce noises.
How to attach the ferrite core 
1. Push the stopper [a] of the ferrite core to open.
2. Wind the Subwoofer cable three times on the ferrite
core (A). Wind the Subwoofer cable once on the 
ferrite core (B).
3. Pass the others straight on the ferrite core (B).
4. Close the ferrite core until it clicks.
Notes
•
Take care not to pinch the speaker cables between the 
ferrite cores.
•Attach the ferrite core near the unit (Refer to the fig.3 and 
comment.).

Speaker Positioning
In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front speakers, centre speaker, 2 rear speakers and 
subwoofer). 
If you want to play the excellent bass sound, DTS digital surround or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect
a subwoofer.
•Front speakers
According to your listening position set up the speakers for equal distance. And by hearing position set up the
interval between speakers to 45 degree.
•Centre speaker
The centre speakers and front speakers are ideally the same height. But normally place it above or below the 
television.
•Rear speakers
Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required
for surround sound playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far behind the listening
position and install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective to direct the rear speak-
ers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.
In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall set the rear speakers opposite each
other, and set the rear speakers above 60 - 90 cm than the listener’s ears.
•Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.

Mini Glossary for Audio Stream
& Surround mode
Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high 
quality digital audio from DTS program sources such as
discs, DVD and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark.
DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transpar-
ent 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 pro-
gram source. If you play DVDs with “ ” mark, you can
enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy,
and improved dynamic range. 
Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 chan-
nel which carries the “ ” mark. This mode provides the
effect of being in a movie theatre 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 clear-
er and more dynamic than before.
(II)
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output chan-
nels from two-channel sources. This is done using an
advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts
the spatial properties of the original recording without adding
any new sounds or tonal colorations.
MOVIE mode:
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and
all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is
enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality
of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
MUSIC mode:
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings,
and provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music mode
includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individ-
ual listening tastes.
MATRIX mode:
The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that
the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used
to enhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” The
Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the
fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise
cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The
ultimate “cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to
force the audio to mono.
3D SURROUND
This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D
Surround Sound technology, which simulates multi-channel
audio playback from two conventional stereo speakers
instead of the five or more speakers normally required to lis-
ten to multi-channel audio from a home theatre. This feature
works with DVD discs encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and
Dolby Digital audio tracks.
BYPASS
Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played
according to the way it was recorded. 
Sound Mode
You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting
one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to
the
program you want to listen to.
Press SOUND MODErepeatedly until the sound
mode you want appears in the display window as
below.
Each time you press SOUND MODE button,  the
sound mode is changed in the following order; 
PRO LOGIC →PL2 MOVIE → PL2 MUSIC →PL2 MATRIX
→3D SURROUND →BYPASS
When DVD is inserted.
You can change the stream of DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS,
PCM, etc) by pressing the AUDIObutton on the remote dur-
ing playback.
Although the DVD contents differ from disc to disc, the fol-
lowing explains the basic operation when this feature is
used.
Each time you press AUDIO button, the sound mode of DVD
is changed as the following order; 
→→→
For your reference
•The DVD/VCR Combi receiverr memorizes the
last mode 
settings for each source individually.
•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.
Note
•
When you play sound tracks with 96kHz sampling 
frequency, the output signals will be converted to 48kHz 
(sampling frequency).

your DVD/VCR Combi receiver.
•Your TV receives signals from the video recorder
(VCR) like another TV station. You have to select a
channel number on your TV and tune it in so that
you may watch video tapes. If you have used a

SCARTcable you will not
have to tune your TV, simply select the AV 
channel. The AVchannel is already pre-tuned for
optimum video playback on your TV.
4. Store this channel on your TV.
You will need to look at the TV instruction book if
you do not know how to do this.

+ or -to select another video channel.
You may select any channel number between 22
and 68. 
You can also set it to “OFF” if there is any interfer-
ence when  your TV is connected to the DVD/VCR
Combi receiver with a SCART lead.
8.Select a TV channel number on which you wish to
watch video’s. Press  STANDBY/ON on the front
of your DVD/VCR Combi receiver when you have
finished. Tune this channel so that a bright blue
screen appears. Store this channel on your TV.
