About DVD software types and the conversion method
DVD software can be divided into 2 types: film-based software and video-based software. 
Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at 30 
frames/60 fields per second. Film-based software is derived from film and displays images at 24 frames 
per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film. 
In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in progressive format, the 
progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.
 When you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may appear 
unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Even though 
you set to “PROGRESSIVE AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO,” images from the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO or 
S VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.

Positioning the speakers
For the best possible surround sound, all the 
speakers other than the subwoofer should be the 
same distance from the listening position (A). 
However, this system allows you to place the 
center speaker up to 1.6 meters (5 ft) closer (B) 
and the surround speakers up to 5.0 meters (16 
ft) closer (C) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 
7.0 meters (4 to 23 ft) (A) from the listening 
position.
Place speakers as illustrated below.
 Do not place the center and surround speakers farther 
away from the listening position than the front 
speakers.
If you encounter color irregularity 
on a nearby TV screen
The front and center speakers and the subwoofer 
are magnetically shielded to allow it to be 
installed near a TV set. However, color 
irregularities may still be observed on certain 
types of TV sets. As the surround speakers are 
not magnetically shielded, we recommend that 
you place the surround speakers slightly further 
away from TV set.
If color irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on again 
after 15 to 30 minutes.
If color irregularity is observed 
again...
Place the speaker further away from the TV set.
If howling occurs
Reposition the speakers or turn down the 
volume on the system.
