Setting up
Speaker Positioning
In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front speakers, centre speaker, 2 rear
speakers and subwoofer).

Front speaker
(Left)

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.

Rear
speaker
(Left)
Rear
speaker
(Right)

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.

is effective for multi-channel karaoke DVDs only.

You can select the Dolby Pro Logic II or Virtual sound. Press VSM to set the
virtual sound or to change sound mode repeatedly.

HD AV Sync - Sometimes Digital TV encounters a delay between picture and
sound. If this happens you can compensate by setting a delay on the sound so
that it effectively ‘waits’ for the picture to arrive: this is called HD AV Sync. Use vV
to scroll up and down through the delay amount, which you can set at anything
between 0 and 300m sec.
The delay will vary depending on which digital TV channel you are on. If you
change channel you may need to readjust the HD AV Sync.

[BYPASS] mode : Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played
according to the way it was recorded.

Adjust the lock settings

2Ch source
[PL II MOVIE] mode: The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows
and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced sound
field directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
[PL II MUSIC] mode: The Music mode is for use with any stereo music
recordings.
[PL II 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.
[ON STAGE] mode: Simulates a large Concert hall
[VIRTUAL] mode: Realtime 3D positioned sound rendering technology

with stereo sources, optimized for stereo speakers. Listeners may experience amazing virtual surround effects with their own multimedia players.
5.1Ch source
[VIRTUAL] mode: The Multichannel sound changes the sound in 5.1 ch

into a virtual one in the 10.1 ch so that it provides such a feeling that
you listen to the sound simultaneously from the right and left speakers
and center speaker.
Set a pre-programmed sound field
This system has a number of pre-set surround sound fields. Select the one
which best suits the programme you are watching by pressing EQ repeatedly to
cycle through the options: NORMAL, NATURAL, AUTO EQ, POP, CLASSIC,
ROCK, JAZZ
[AUTO EQ]: AUTO EQ operates only in the MP3/ WMA files which include
the information. (ID3 Tag is operated ver.1 only.) WMA file operates to Normal
EQ regardless of Tag information.
