Positioning the speakers
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.
Setup example
Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the
same distance from the seating position.
The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Notes on speaker use
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.
≥ 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.
Main unit
[Note]
≥ Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) 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 (2q) 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.
If irregular coloring occurs on your television
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 (1113/16q) from the
television.
Caution
≥ Do not stand on the base.
e.g. [HT740] [HT743] Front speaker
Be cautious when children are near.
≥ Do not touch the netted area
of the speakers.
e.g. [HT740] [HT743] Surround speaker
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
fire. Consult a qualified service person if
damage has occurred or if you experience a
sudden change in performance.
≥ Do not attempt to attach these speakers to
walls using methods other than those
described in this manual.

12
≥ Do not attach labels or stickers to discs. This may cause disc
warping, rendering it unusable.
≥ Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing
instrument.
≥ Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, liquids which
prevent static electricity, or any other solvent.
≥ Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.
≥ Do not use the following discs:
– Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or labels
(rented discs, etc.).
– Discs that are badly warped or cracked.
– Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart shapes.
Note about using a DualDisc
≥ The digital audio content side of a DualDisc does not meet the
technical specifications of the Compact Disc Digital Audio
(CD-DA) format so playback may not be possible.
≥ Do not use a DualDisc in this unit as it may not be possible to
insert it correctly and it may get scratched or scraped.
Maintenance
Clean this unit with a soft, dry cloth.
≥ Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
≥ Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the instructions that
came with the cloth.
Do not use commercially available lens cleaners as they may cause
malfunction. Cleaning of the lens is generally not necessary although
this depends on the operating environment.
Before moving the unit, ensure the disc trays are empty. Failure
to do so will risk severely damaging the discs and the unit.

Servicentre closest to you.
In other areas, consult your dealer.
Glossary
CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media)
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
A copy protection system used for DVD-Audio files. This unit supports
CPPM.
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.
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is
called decoding.
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.
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.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
Playback control (PBC)
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.
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and
information with menus.
Dynamic range
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
recorded on media such as DVD-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 Multimedia Interface)
Product Service / Glossary
In the U.S.A., refer to “Customer Services Directory” on page 37.
Progressive/Interlaced
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.
HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic products.
Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video
and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports high-definition video
output (720p,1080i) from the HDMI AV OUT terminal. To enjoy highdefinition video, a high-definition compatible television is required.
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVDVideo, 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.

Listening caution
EST. 1924
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit
you’ve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider
how you can maximize the fun and excitement
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and
the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get
the most out of your equipment by playing it at a
safe level. One that lets the sound come
through loud and clear without annoying blaring
or distortion—and, most importantly, without
affecting your sensitive hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged
exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your
hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal”
can actually be loud and harmful to your
hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at
