Rear of DVD/CD/VCR Receiver 12 Speaker System Connections Speaker Positioning 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.). For a normal setup use 6 speakers (2 front speakers, center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer). otes Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3 and # to #. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and lack bass. If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive volume output to the speakers. Do not disassemble the front covers of supplied speakers. Center Speaker Front Speaker (Right) Front Speaker (Left) • 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.

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. Press SOUND MODE repeatedly until the sound mode you want appears in the display window as below. You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to. Each time you press SOUND MODE button, the sound mode is changed in the following order; BYPASS → PRO LOGIC → MOVIE → MUSIC → MATRIX → 3D SURROUND When DVD is inserted. 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. (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 fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing 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 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 Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played according to the way it was recorded. 16 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; → → → For your reference • The DVD/CD/VCR Receiver 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. ote When you play sound tracks with 96kHz sampling frequency, the output signals will be converted to 48kHz (sampling frequency).

(x An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”. The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”. About WMA (Window Media Audio) Files An WMA file is a Microsoft audio compression technology. WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the audio compression of the MP3 format. MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this player is limited 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 software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use “EasyCD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system. 5. A single session disc requires MP3/WMA files in the first track. If there is no MP3/WMA file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3/WMA files. If you wish to playback MP3/WMA files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one. 6. File names should be named using 8 letters or less and 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 than 650. This DVD/CD/VCR Receiver 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 or WMA files). That require certain preexisting conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback. Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3/WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner. 33 OPERATION CD MP3/WMA Recording Notes Audio CD and MP3/WMA Disc Operation (Continued) Pause CD MP3 Repeat A-B WMA CD 1 Press PAUSE/STEP (X) during playback.
