PREPARATION13Connections (Continued)Speaker System ConnectionsConnect the speakers using the supplied speaker cordsby matching the colors of the terminals and those of thecords. To obtain the best possible surround sound,adjust the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.).otesBe sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriateterminal on the components: 3to 3and #to #. Ifthe cords are reversed, the sound will be distortedand lack bass.If you use front speakers with low maximum input rat-ing, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessivevolume output to the speakers.Do not disassemble the front covers of supplied speakers.Speaker PositioningFor a normal setup use 6 speakers (2 front speakers,center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer). •Front SpeakersBased on your listening position, set up the speakersat equal distance. And by hearing position, set up aninterval between speakers of 45 degree.•Center SpeakerIt is ideal that the center speakers and front speakersare same height. But normally place it above or belowthe television as shown below.•Rear SpeakersPlace the rear surround speakers to the left and rightbehind the primary listening area. These speakersrecreate sound motion and atmosphere required forsurround playback. For best results, do not install therear 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 towardsa wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience isnear to the rear wall set the rear speakers oppositeeach other, and set the rear speakers 60 - 90 cmabove the listener’s ears.•SubwooferThis can be placed in any front position.Front Speaker (Right)Front Speaker (Left)Center SpeakerRear speaker(Left surround)SubwooferRear speaker(Right surround)Center SpeakerFrontSpeaker(Left)Speaker Positioning ExampleRearSpeaker(Left)RearSpeaker(Right)FrontSpeaker(Right)Subwoofer

16Before Operation - Sound Mode DescriptionsMini Glossary for Audio Stream & Surround modeAllows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high qualitydigital audio from DTS program sources such as discs, DVDand compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark. DTS DigitalSurround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio(whichmeans identical to the original masters) and results in excep-tional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. Theterm DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC.Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital pro-gram source. If you play DVDs with “ ” mark, you canenjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, andimproved dynamic range. Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channelwhich carries the “ ” mark. This mode provides the effectof being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an effect withan intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PROLOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/rightmovement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixedposition in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynam-ic than before.(II)Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channelsfrom two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced,high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatialproperties of the original recording without adding any newsounds or tonal colorations.MOVIE mode:The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and allprograms encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhancedsoundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete5.1-channel sound.MUSIC mode:The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, andprovides a wide and deep sound space. The Music modeincludes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individuallistening tastes.MATRIX mode:The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that thedirectional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used toenhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” The Matrixmode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuationsfrom poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbingsurround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate “cure” forpoor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio tomono.3D SURROUNDThis unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D SurroundSound technology, which simulates multi-channel audio play-back from two conventional stereo speakers instead of the fiveor more speakers normally required to listen to multi-channelaudio from a home theatre. This feature works with DVD discsencoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital audio tracks.BYPASSSoftware with multichannel surround audio signals is playedaccording to the way it was recorded. Sound ModeYou can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting oneof the pre-programmed sound fields according to theprogram you want to listen to.Press SOUND MODE repeatedly until the sound modeyou want appears in the display window as below.Each time you press SOUND MODE button, the soundmode is changed in the following order; BYPASS →PRO LOGIC →MOVIE → MUSIC →MATRIX →3D SURROUND 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 follow-ing explains the basic operation when this feature is used.Each time you press AUDIO button, the sound mode of DVD ischanged as the following order; →→ →For your reference•The DVD/CD/VCR Receiver memorizes the lastmode 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 withthe logo.-DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with DTS.oteWhen you play sound tracks with 96kHz sampling frequency,the output signals will be converted to 48kHz (sampling frequency).

We callfiles that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.The player can not read an MP3 file that has a fileextension other than “.mp3”.About WMA (Window Media Audio) FilesAn WMA file is a Microsoft audio compressiontechnology.WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the audiocompression of the MP3 format.MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this player islimited as follows:1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz (MP3), 22.05 - 44.1kHz (WMA)2. Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps (MP3),32 - 128kbps (WMA)3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”4. If you record MP3/WMA files using the softwarewhich cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example“Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to playbackMP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system.5. A single session disc requires MP3/WMA files in thefirst track. If there is no MP3/WMA file in the 1sttrack, it cannot playback MP3/WMA files. If you wishto playback MP3/WMA files, format all the data inthe disc or use a new one.6. File names should be named using 8 letters or lessand must incorporate “.mp3” or “.wma” extension e.g. “********.MP3” or “********.WMA”.7. Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ” etc.8. Total number of files on the disc should be less than650.This DVD/CD/VCR Receiver requires discs/recordingsto meet certain technical standards in order to achieveoptimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are auto-matically set to these standards. There are many differ-ent types of recordable disc formats (including CD-Rcontaining MP3 or WMA files). That require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure compatibleplayback.Customers should also note that permission isrequired in order to download MP3/WMA files andmusic from the Internet. Our company has no rightto grant such permission. Permission shouldalways be sought from the copyright owner.WMAMP3CDProgramCDSTER.
