11GB PREPARATION Connections (Continued) Radio Aerial Connections Connect the supplied FM/AM antennas for radio listen- ing. 1 Connect the AM loop antenna to the AM antenna connectors. 2 Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM antenna connectors. Notes zTo prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop antenna away from the DVD/VCR Receiver and other compo- nents. zBe sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna. zAfter connecting the FM wire antenna, keep it as hori- zontal as possible. Accessory Audio/Video (A/V) Connections to DVD/VCR Receiver Connect theAV3 INjacks on the DVD/VCR Receiver to the audio/video out jacks on your accessory compo- nent, using optional audio/video cables. Digital Device Connections Connect the OPTICAL IN jacks on the DVD/VCR Receiver to the digital audio out (optical) jacks on your digital device (Game device, Digital Set Top Box, etc.), using optional optical audio cable. To select source of DVD/VCR Receiver to OPTICAL IN, press INPUT SELECT repeatedly on the remote control until “AV3 OPT” appears in the display window. Notes zIf the audio format of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your DVD/VCR Receiver, the DVD/VCR Receiver will produce a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all. zThe Optical input function is available only when the other unit’s Sampling Frequency is 32 - 48kHz.
12GB Connections (Continued) Speaker System Connections Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cords by matching the colors of the terminals and those of the cords. To obtain the best possible surround sound, adjust the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.). Notes zBe sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3to 3and #to #. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and lack bass. zIf you use front speakers with low maximum input rat- ing, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive volume output to the speakers. zDo not disassemble the front covers of supplied speakers. Speaker Positioning For a normal setup use 6 speakers (2 front speakers, center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer). •Front Speakers Based on your listening position, set up the speakers at equal distance. And by hearing position, set up an interval between speakers of 45 degree. •Center Speaker It is ideal that the center speakers and front speakers are same height. But normally place it above or below the television as shown below. •Rear Speakers Place the rear surround speakers to the left and right behind the primary listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far behind the listening position, install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective to direct the rear speakers 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 60 - 90 cm above the listener’s ears. •Subwoofer This can be placed in any front position. Note Speaker stand is optional. Attaching the foot pads To prevent speaker vibration or movement while listening, attach the supplied foot pads to the speaker, as shown. Attaching the color labels Attach the color labels onto the rear panel of the speakers before con- necting the speakers.

14GB Mini Glossary Mini Glossary for Audio Stream and Surround mode Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS programme sources such as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark. 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. (Dolby Digital) The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital pro- gramme source. If you play DVDs with “ ” mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range. (Dolby Pro Logic) Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel 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 clearer and more dynam- ic than before. (Dolby Pro Logic II) Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels 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 individual 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 fluc- tuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause dis- turbing 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 play- back from two conventional stereo speakers instead of the five or more speakers normally required to listen 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 programme you want to listen to. Press SOUND FIELDrepeatedly until the sound mode you want appears in the display window as below. Each time you press SOUND FIELD 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 sound mode of DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS, PRO LOGIC, etc) by pressing the AUDIObutton on the remote during playback. Although the DVD contents differ from disc to disc, the follow- ing 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 Receiver memorizes the last mode settings for each source individually. •You can identify the encoding format of pro- gramme 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). Volume Control You can adjust the volume by rotating VOLUME on the front panel or by pressing VOL (+/–) on the remote con- trol repeatedly. Muting Press MUTING to mute your unit. You can mute your unit in order, for example, to answer the telephone, “MUTING” indicator in the display win- dow. To exit mute mode, press MUTING again.
