Subwoofer •The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like. •Usually, it is placed by a corner near the front speakers. Front Speakers •Place these speakers in front of your listening posi- tion, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you. •Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ear. •Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers. Center Speaker •It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers. •You can also install it directly over or under the TV. Position of the DVD Player •Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand. Selecting the Listening Position The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distance of the TVs screen size away from the TV.

METHOD 1 Composite Video ............... Good Quality Connect the supplied video cable from the VIDEO OUT jack on the back panel of the sys- tem to the VIDEO IN jack on your television. METHOD 3 Component (Progressive Scan) Video ............... Best Quality If your television is equipped with Component Video inputs, connect a component video cable (not supplied) from the Pr, Pb and Y jacks on the back panel of the system to the cor- responding jacks on your television. SCART INVIDEO INCOMPONENT IN TV •When the Progressive scan mode is selected, the VIDEO and SCART outputs do not feed any signal. See page 14 to select Progressive Scan.Note For using the SCART cable • If Scart is equipped for your TV, set RGB-COMPOSITE selector of the center unit to RGB. You can get a better picture quality by using Scart setting. • If Scart (RGB Input) is not equipped for your TV, set RGB-COMPOSITE selector to COMPOSITE.

CONNECTIONS 14 P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function Unlike regular Interlace Scan, in which two fields of picture information alternate to create the entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one field of infor- mation (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture without visible scan lines. Press and hold P.SCAN button on the remote controller for over 5 seconds in stop mode. •P.SCAN or I.SCAN will appear in the display. At this time, press the P.SCAN button shortly to select between P.SCAN and I.SCAN. In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two inter- laced fields (odd and even), where each field contains every other horizontal line in the frame. The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame. One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are dis- played every 1/60th of a second. The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing a still object. Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS) The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of video consecutively down the screen, line by line. An entire image is drawn at one time, as opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a video image is drawn in a series of passes. The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing with moving objects. Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME) What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning? •This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support Progressive Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive scan TVs.) •Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work. Note Press and hold NTSC/PALbutton on the remote controller for over 5 seconds while the power is turned off. •NTSC or PA L will appear in the display. At this time, press the NTSC/PAL button shortly to select between NTSC and PAL. •Each country has a different video format standard. •For normal playback, the video format of the disc must be the same as the video format of your TV.

Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM 75ΩCOAXIAL terminal as a temporary measure. 2. Slowly move the antenna wire around until you find a location where reception is good, then fasten it to a wall or other rigid surface. • If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna. Before attaching a 75Ωcoaxial cable (with a standard type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna. 1. Connect the AM loop antenna supplied to the AM and terminals. 2. If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire to the AM terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected). 1p~40p(DS460)-GB 2004.9.16 11:05 AM Page 21
