the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating position. If
you have to place the center or surround speakers closer to the seating
position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.
If distances d (from the center speaker) and f (from the surround
speakers) are the same as or greater than e (from the front speakers),
leave the delay time as “0”, the factory preset.
If either distance d or f is less than e, find the difference in the relevant
table and change to the recommended setting.

Glossary
BitstreamThis is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)
before it is decoded into its various channels.
DecoderA decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is
called decoding.
Dolby DigitalThis is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories.
Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-
channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on
one disc using this method.
Dolby Pro LogicA surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2
channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround channel
is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world.
There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects
are possible.
Dynamic rangeDynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can
be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound
before distortion occurs.
Film and videoDVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is
recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at, while
video is recorded at 30 frames per second.
Frame still and field stillFrames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture.
There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fieldsone after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up
of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall
quality is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information
of a frame still so picture quality is lower.
Interlace and progressive outputNTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines,
whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is
called 480P. The video signals output from this unit’s COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT terminals (Y, P
B, PR) allow you to enjoy higher quality pictures
than if the signals were output from the VIDEO OUT terminal or
S VIDEO OUT terminal.
I/P/BMPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-
Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I: Intra coded picture
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting
the picture.
P: Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.
B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures
so it has the lowest volume of information.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.Playback control (PBC)If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information
with menus (called menu play in these instructions).
≥Go to Video in the SETUP menus, and select “Enable” in “Progressive Out”.
≥Use the television to change the aspect to the correct one.
If your television cannot change the aspect when input is progressive, press
[PROGRESSIVE OUT] so the indicator goes out. Output will now be interlace.
≥Go to Display in the SETUP menus, and select “On” for “On-Screen Messages”.

DOES NOT COVER damages which occurred in shipment, or failures which are
caused by products not supplied by the warrantor, or failures which result from
accidents, misuse, abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty
installation, set-up adjustments, misadjustment of consumer controls, improper
maintenance, power line surge, lightning damage, modification, or commercial use
(such as in a hotel, office, restaurant, or other business), rental use of the product,
service by anyone other than a Factory Servicenter or other Authorized Servicer, or
damage that is attributable to acts of God.
THERE ARE NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES EXCEPT AS LISTED UNDER “LIMITED
WARRANTY COVERAGE”. THE WARRANTOR IS NOT LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE USE OF THIS
PRODUCT, OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY. (As
examples, this excludes damages for lost time, travel to and from the servicer, loss of
media or images, data or other recorded content. The items listed are not exclusive, but
are for illustration only.) ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING
THE WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, ARE LIMITED TO THE PERIOD OF
THE LIMITED WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, or limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the exclusions may
not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which
vary from state to state. If a problem with this product develops during or after the
warranty period, you may contact your dealer or Servicenter. If the problem is not
handled to your satisfaction, then write to the warrantor’s Consumer Affairs Department
at the addresses listed for the warrantor.

WARRANTY ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. During the “Labor” warranty period there will be no charge for labor. During the “Parts”
warranty period, there will be no charge for parts.  You must carry-in or mail-in your
product during the warranty period. If non-rechargeable batteries are included, they are
not warranted. This warranty only applies to products purchased and serviced in the
United States or Puerto Rico. This warranty is extended only to the original purchaser
of a new product which was not sold “as is”. A purchase receipt or other proof of the
original purchase date is required for warranty service.
