If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers. Do not remove the front cover of supplied speaker. Speaker Positioning In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front speakers, centre speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer). If you want to play the excellent bass sound, DTS digital surround or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect a subwoofer. Subwoofer Centre Speaker • Front speakers According to your listening position set up the speakers for equal distance. And by hearing position set up the interval between speakers to 45 degree. • Centre speaker The centre speakers and front speakers are ideally the same height. But normally place it above or below the television. • Rear speakers Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround sound playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far behind the listening position and 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 above 60 - 90 cm than the listener’s ears. • Subwoofer This can be placed in any front position. 14 Front Speaker (Left) Front Speaker (Right) Rear Speaker (Right) Rear Speaker (Left) Speaker Positioning Example Grossary for Audio Stream & Surroiund mode You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to. Press SOUND MODE repeatedly until the sound mode you want appears in the display window as below. When PCM indicator is only displayed in the display window: Each time you press SOUND MODE button, the sound mode is changed in the following order; PRO LOGIC → 3D SURROUND → BYPASS When DVD is inserted. You can change the sound mode of DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS, PRO LOGIC, etc) by pressing the AUDIO button on the remote during playback. Although the DVD contents differ from disc to disc, the following 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; → → The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital program source. If you play DVDs with “ ” mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range. 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 dynamic than before. 3D SURROUND This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D Surround Sound technology, which simulates multi-channel audio playback 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 (2CH STEREO) For your reference • The DVD+Hi-Fi VCR memorizes the last mode settings for each source individually. • You can identify the encoding format of program software by looking at its packaging. - Dolby Digital discs are labelled with the logo. - Dolby Surround encoded programs are labelled with the logo. - DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with DTS. Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. Standard two channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the sound field processing. This allows you to play any source using only the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. otes When you play sound tracks with 96kHz sampling frequency, the output signals will be converted to 48kHz (sampling frequency). Sound Mode is not applicable when headphone is used. 15 PREPARATION Sound Mode VCR Operation Setup On-Screen Display (OSD) Some of these functions appear during VCR operated. ❶ ❷ ❸ PLAY SP HI-FI ❹ ❺ CH 4 STEREO JUL 5 , SAT 2:15 PM ❻ ❼ ❶ TAPE SPEED DISPLAY Shows the current tape speed. ❷ FUNCTION DISPLAY Indicates the function in progress. ❸ HI-FI DISPLAY Indicates the unit is playing back tape recorded in Hi-Fi. ❹ CHANNEL DISPLAY Indicates the selected channel (or LINE1, LINE2). ❺ STEREO/SAP DISPLAY (MONO is not displayed) Shows the type of audio signal received by the VCR tuner.

AUDIO MODE The DVD+Hi-Fi VCR has two separate audio playback systems, the high quality VHS Hi-Fi system and standard NORMAL mono system. The same audio is generally recorded on both systems. The VHS Hi-Fi system plays on separate (left and right) channels, and the NORMAL system plays monaural sound. The normal track is always played so the cassette can be played on a DVD+Hi-Fi VCR that does not have VHS Hi-Fi. AUDIO MODE can be switched between Hi-Fi and NORMAL using b/B. BROADCAST TYPE (STEREO/SAP/MONO) Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) carries stereo and/or Second Audio Program (SAP) bilingual signals. Set this display to the desired position when both MTS stereo and SAP signals are received. When only one of the MTS signal is received, the DVD+Hi-Fi VCR automatically selects the corresponding receiving mode (Stereo or SAP) regardless of the selected position. For normal operation, the display should be in the STEREO position. The DVD+Hi-Fi VCR will then record a STEREO program when available, and record a mono program IF the program is NOT IN STEREO.

We call files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”. The DVD+Hi-Fi VCR can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”. MP3 Disc compatibility with this receiver is limited as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660” If you record MP3 files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “DirectCD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one. File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate “.mp3” extension e.g. “********.MP3”. Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ” etc. Total number of files on the disc should be less than 650. This DVD+Hi-Fi VCR requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files). That require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.
