How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points:

≥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.

≥Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position.

The angles in the diagram are approximate.

≥Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be

negatively affected.

≥Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling.

Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you

cannot set them up on an even surface.

Main unit

[Note]

≥Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper

ventilation.

≥To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the

main unit, position it with at least 5 cm 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.

[HT545W] Wireless system

≥

Place the wireless system within approximately 10 m from the main unit.

≥Do not use the wireless system or the digital transceiver in a metal

cabinet or bookshelf.

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 from the television.

Caution

Do not touch the netted area of

the speakers.

Notes on speaker use

≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play

sound at high levels over 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.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

The front and center speakers are designed to be used close to a

television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and

setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

The demagnetizing function of the television should correct the problem.

If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

Caution

≥The main unit and supplied speakers are to be used only as

indicated in this setup. Failure to do so may lead to damage to

the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of

Simple Setup

∫[HT545W] Avoiding interference

To avoid possible interference, do not place the wireless system near any of the following devices.

The wireless system uses the same radio frequencies as other devices that may be present in your home.

The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the

wireless link indicator (“ [W] ”) flashes on the main unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers.

This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your Home Theater System.

If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location outside the range of the wireless system.

∫Attaching to a wall

You can attach all of the speakers (except subwoofer) to a wall.

≥

The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should

be capable of supporting over 10 k

g

per screw. Consult a qualified

building contractor when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper

attachment may result in damage to the wall and speakers.

1Drive a screw (not included) into the wall.

2Fit the speaker securely onto the screw(s) with the hole(s).

∫Fitting speaker stands (not included)

Ensure the stands meet these conditions before purchasing them.

Note the diameter and length of the screws and the distance

between screws as shown in the diagram.

≥The stands must be able to support over 10 kg.

≥

The stands must be stable even if the speakers are in a high position.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT ≥Using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals

The COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals provides a purer picture than

the S-VIDEO OUT terminal. These terminals can be used for either

interlaced or progressive output. Connection using these terminals

outputs the color difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y)

separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.

≥The description of the component video input terminals depends on

the television or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect

to terminals of the same color.

[Continental]Europe]

≥When making this connection, select “Video/YPbPr” or “S-Video/

YPbPr” from QUICK SETUP (➜page 10). If “RGB/No Output” is

selected, the RGB signal is output from the SCART (AV) terminal, but

no signal is output from the component video output terminals.

Glossary

Glossary

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is

called decoding.

DivX

DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media files

contain highly compressed video with high visual quality that maintains a

relatively small file size.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby

Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also

be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be

recorded on one disc using this method.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world.

There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects

are possible.

Dynamic range

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.

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This unit can

determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable method

of progressive output.

Film: Recorded at 25 frames per second (PAL discs) or 24 frames per

second (NTSC discs). (NTSC discs recorded at 30 frames per

second as well).

Generally appropriate for motion picture films.

Video: Recorded at 25 frames/50 fields per second (PAL discs) or

30 frames/60 fields per second (NTSC discs). Generally

appropriate for TV drama programs or animation.

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.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with

DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

I: Intra coded picture

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

the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated based on past I- or P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I- and

P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. If you

select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the data will

be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The benefit of JPEG is

less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of

compression.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately

one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality.

MPEG4

A compression system for use on mobile devices or a network, that allows

highly efficient recording at a low bit rate.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and

information with menus.

Progressive/Interlaced

The PAL video signal standard has 576 interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas

progressive scanning, called 576p, uses twice the number of scan lines.

For the NTSC standard, these are called 480i and 480p respectively.

Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video

recorded on media such as DVD-Video.

Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.

Sampling frequency

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 (Windows MediaTM Audio)

WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It

achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller

than that of MP3.

≥Discs must conform to UDF bridge (UDF 1.02/ISO9660).

≥This unit does not support multi-session. Only the default session is played.

CD-R/RW

≥Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended formats).

≥This unit supports multi-session but if there are many sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid

this.

Naming folders and files

(Files are treated as contents and folders are treated as groups on this unit.)

At the time of recording, prefix folder and file names. This should be with numbers that have an equal number of

digits, and should be done in the order you want to play them (this may not work at times).

Files must have the extension (➜ below).

[WMA] (Extension: “.WMA” or “.wma”)

≥Compatible compression rate: between 48 kbps and 320 kbps

≥You cannot play WMA files that are copy-protected.

≥This unit does not support Multiple Bit Rate (MBR).
