t Place speakers on flat secure bases.
• Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass, Cover walls and windows with thick curtains,
• Left and right speakers are interchangeable, but front and surround speakers are not.
Setup example
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately
same distance from the seating position.

use
• You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play
sound at high levels ever extended periods.
• Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage:
-When playing distorted sound,
-When the speakers are reverberating due to a record player, noise
from FM broadcasts or continuous signals from an oscillator, test
disc, or electronic instrument.
-When adjusting the sound quality.
- When turning the unit on or off,
proper ventilation.
• To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the
main unit, position it with at least 5 cm (2") of space on all sides,
• Do not block the ventilation holes of the main unit,
Center speaker
• Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it is
placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a rack or
shelf.
• To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place directly on top of the
television.
Subwoofer
Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so
that it will not cause vibration. Leave about 30 cm (11W_d') from the
television.
Caution
• Do not stand on the base.
Be cautious when children are near.
• Do not touch the netted area

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines,
whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This
is called 480p.
Using progressive output you can enjoy the high-resolution video

Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that
can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of
sound before distortion occurs.
Frame
still and field
still
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture,
There are about 30 frames shown each second,
One frame is made up of two fields, A regular television shows these
fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture, A frame still is made up
of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall
quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still
so picture quality is lower,
HDMI (High-Definition

HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic products.
Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog
signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding).
Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger
numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.

WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It
achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVDVideo, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting

P: Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I- or P-pictures.
B: Bidirectionally-predictive

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I- and
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
