Getting Started Inserting Batteries into Remote Control Insert two “AAA” batteries according to the + and - signs on the battery compartment. To use the remote control, point it directly at your receiver. Set up and Maintenance of the Receiver IMPORTANT NOTE • Provide spaces for sufficient ventilation as indicated below. If the space is insufficient, the unit may overheat resulting in malfunction and shorter life time. • Do not connect to the AC power cords until all connec- tions are completed. • Do not use your set immediately after transferring it from a cold place to a warm place: there is risk of condensation. • Do not expose your set to water and excessively high temperatures. • After having disconnected your set, clean the case with a soft cloth, or with a slightly damp leather chamois. Never use strong solvents. Disc handling precaution: • Do not touch the recorded surface. • Do not use record cleaning sprays, solvent or anti-static liquid. • If the disc is dirty, clean it with a damp cloth and wipe from the center out. Wipe in straight line and not in circu- lar motion. • Do not attach stickers, label on the disc. • Store the disc in its case after playing. Regional coding Your DVD player has been designed to process regional management information that is stored on DVD. DVD that have different regional codes to that of your player cannot be played. The regional code for your player is 2. All means all regions. When you buy a disc, check that it bears the correct logo. Protect your Components from Overheating • Do not block ventilation holes in any component. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely. • Do not stack components directly on top of each other. • Allow adequate ventilation when placing your compo- nents in a stand. • Place the receiver near the top shelf of the stand so heated air rising from it will not affect other components. Disc you can play While advances have been made to ensure that your player is compatible with the largest number of discs possible, it cannot be guaranteed that you will be able to play discs which might not be compatible with audio CD, VCD and SVCD standards. In the case of writable and rewritable discs, compatibility with this player depends on the DVD writer, the write software and the disc used. DVD video - Digital video discs - 12 cm and 8 cm, single or dou- bled sided, single or dual layer. DVDs are high-density optical discs on which high quality picture and audio are recorded by means of digital signals. DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW - Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording only), DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs (rewritable). Depending on the DVD writer and discs used. Recordings using DVD-R and DVD+RW discs must be made in Video DVD mode. Recordings using DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with the specifications for DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB capacity. VCD, Video Compact Disc - CD on which you can record up to 74 minutes of VHS-quality video associated with still images, audio tracks and interactive menu. SVCD, Super Video Compact Disc - Most SVCDs comply with the IEC62107 standards. SVCDs can be used to record up to 70 min- utes of digital sound and images in accordance with MPEG-2 stan- dards for video and MPEG-1 standards for audio. Audio CDs - Audio CDs (8 and 12cm) CD-R, CD-RW - Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW discs (rewritable). This player can play most CD-R discs. CD-Rs written during a multisession recording can also be played, provid- ed that the session had ended before the disc is played (depend- ing on the write software). However, depending on the condition of the CD writer, computer and the disc used, you may find that not all discs will play successfully. When playing a CD-R disc, it is com- pletely normal for the unit to take up to 30 seconds to recognize the disc before starting to play. If the disc is not recognized after a period of 30 seconds, remove the disc and then insert it again. •Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of the CD-R, do not use its full capacity. •CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty. •Use reliable, good-quality CD write software. •Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc recording. Disc you cannot play DVD-ROM, DVD RAM, CDV, SACD, DVD Audio (High resolution tracks). Data part of CD Extra, disc with non standard shape (e.g. heart), disc with region code different from the one specified on the back of the unit.

Getting Started Connecting to Audio-Visual Components Connecting the Antennas The FM antennas connect to the FM terminals on the sys- tem’s back panel. They must be hooked up in order to have clear reception. 4 TV SAT AUDIO OUT (VCR) AUDIO OUT (SAT) VCR S-videoS-video provides a better connection for the video portion of the signal than composite video (yellow color terminal). When connecting S-video cable, a Composite video cable (yellow RCA connector) must also be used. VIDEO IN (TV) S-VIDEO IN (TV) SCART IN (TV) SCART video output (SCART cable is not supplied with this unit) SCART video terminal provides the best quality for video signal. If there is no SCART socket is available on your TV set, check whether your TV has another Video socket (Composite, S-video) that you can use to connect your player. The unit does not have audio signal from the SCART output. 1 Setup video outputYou can select either S-video or SCART as your video output (default is SCART). Try power off the unit and turn it on again if you see any picture distortion on the TV. When S-VIDEO output is selected, SCART will only provide composite video signal. When SCART output is selected, S-video ouput will be disabled. Composite video signal is always available. It is recommended that you should only use one kind of video connection method listed below. S-VIDEOVIDEO OUT SCARTOPTICAL IN CD/SAT OPTICAL OUT (CD/SAT) Digital outputConnect components capable of outputting Dolby Digital (e.g. SAT) or standard PCM (CD) format digital signals. WIRELESSS-VIDEOVIDEO OUT SCARTOPTICAL IN Tip: • For FM reception, extend antenna to its full length and arrange the antenna at dif- ferent parts of the room until the recep- tion is optimized.
Getting Started EN 5 Connecting the Speakers Speakers There are 6 speakers equipped with the unit (2 front, 1 cen- ter, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). In order to enjoy good surround effects, You need to connect the front speakers, center speakers and subwoofer to the main unit; and connect the rear speakers to the wireless receiver. Speaker Polarity When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities (“+” speaker wire to “+” on the receiver) of speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and lack bass (“out of phase” effect). Do not ground the output line, it will cause damage to the speaker. WIRELESS Rear Speakers (Surround) Subwoofer (Wireless transmitter) Purple / Grey striped Green / Grey striped Center Speaker Front Speakers White / Grey stripedRed / Grey striped POWERON OFFSRSL Wireless receiver Grey / Grey striped Blue / Grey striped Left Right Antenna and Speaker Wire Connection Push Speaker terminal tab down to insert wire. Release tab to lock wire in the terminal. NOTE: Make sure the insulation is completely removed from the ends of the Antenna and speaker wires at all connectionpoints.
Getting Started Wireless speaker connection Wireless signal transmitter The subwoofer comes with the unit is, at the same time, the wireless signal transmitter. It converts the audio signal from the unit into 5.8GHz radio frequency and transmit it to the receiver. Connect the RJ45 connector at the back of the subwoofer to the back of the main unit, whenever the main unit is on, the subwoofer will transmit audio signal to the rear speakers through the wireless signal receiver. Wireless signal receiver The wireless signal receiver will pick up the best audio sig- nal from wither one of its antennas and convert the signal back to its original form, and pass it to the rear speakers. Connecting procedures 1. Connect the subwoofer (transmitter) to the main unit using RJ45 connector and speaker wires. 2. Connect the rear speakers to the wireless receiver and plug the AC power cord into the power outlet. 3. Make sure the transmitter is in STANDBY mode before pressing the POWERbutton to turn the receiver on. 4. The LED on the receiver will flash when searching for a signal, they will turn green after the signal has been found. 5. Adjust the antenna on both the transmitter and receiver to get the best signal reception. Changing the channel frequency To minimize interference from other 5.8 GHz systems (Cell phone, wireless LAN), you may select a different transmis- sion channel if you should experience interference. The channel selector is located on the front panel of the sub- woofer (transmitter). You may change the transmission channel according to the table below: 6 SIGNAL POWER ON OFFSRSL Channel Position 1 Position 2 Position 3 1 Off On On 2 OnOnOff 3 Off On Off 4 On Off On 5 Off Off On 6 On Off Off Note: 1. You need to restart the main unit when- ever a different transmission signal is selected. 2. People walking between the transmitter and receiver may cause interference. 3. The maximum transmission range is 30 meters, walls and obstacle blocking between may affect the efficient trans- mission range. 4. It is advised that you should place the receiver as high as possible.
Getting Started Positioning your speaker 1 Left, Right (Front Speakers) They carry primarily music and sound effects. 2 Center In surround mode, the center speaker carries much of the dialogue as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right speakers. 3 Surround (Rear Speakers) Their overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field. Subwoofer A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heightens involvement with the action on the screen. Magnetic shielding Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distor- tion. Front and center speakers provided with this unit are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set. It is not recommended to place the rear speakers and sub- woofer near the TV set. Front Speaker Placement Even if you can't duplicate this ideal home theater setup exactly, the following suggestions for speaker placement will help you to get better results. Alignment Align the center speaker evenly with (A), or slightly behind (B), the left and right speakers, but not ahead of them. Advanced Setting Angle Placing the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree angle with your favorite viewing position will duplicate the soundtrack mixer's perspective. Height The mid- and high-frequency drivers of the three front speakers should be as close as possible to the same height. This often requires placing the center speaker directly atop (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.

Getting Started Preferred surround placement Location If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the lis- tening area, not behind it. Height If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects. Aiming Aiming surround speakers straight across the room, not down at viewers, helps create a more open, spacious sur- round sound field. Advanced Setting Alternative Surround Placement Rear wall If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or even towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement until surround sounds seem to envelop you, rather than coming from behind you. No adjacent walls Surround speakers can go on stands facing each other to approximate the preferred sidewall mounting (A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area aimed upwards. In the lat- ter case, they can go right on the floor, or preferably, a few feet off the floor such as on end tables (B). 8 Courtesy Dolby Laboratories Courtesy Dolby Laboratories Courtesy Dolby LaboratoriesCourtesy Dolby Laboratories Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
