Glossary
Decoder

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

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

This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. The
benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the
degree of compression.

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 5.1-channel sound.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately
one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality.

Playing Discs

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.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

Playback control (PBC)

Dynamic range

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and
information with menus.

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.

Progressive/Interlaced

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 TV 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.

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 TV 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

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
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 highdefinition video output (720p, 1080i, 1080p) from the HDMI AV OUT
terminal. To enjoy high-definition video, a high-definition compatible TV is
required.

Other Operations

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

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.

I/P/B

Reference

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.

RQTX0221

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.

4

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 a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:
≥ Start your volume control at a low setting.
≥ Slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly, and without
distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable
sound level:
≥ Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to
prevent hearing damage or loss in the future.
After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

step 2

Positioning

Getting Started

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.
[Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32z) away from the system for proper ventilation.

Setup example

Subwoofer
Place to the right or left
of the TV, on the floor or
a sturdy shelf so that it
will not cause vibration.
Leave about 30 cm
(1113/16q) from the TV.

Front
speakers

Center speaker
Put on a rack or shelf.
Vibration caused by the
speaker can disrupt the
picture if it is placed directly
on the TV.

60º
60°

Main unit

Digital transmitter§

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.

Quick Start Guide

Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. Using “Auto speaker setup” (B 12) is a
convenient way to get the ideal surround sound from your speakers when you are unable to place them. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Surround speakers

To avoid interference, maintain the following
distances between the wireless system and other
electronic devices that use the same radio frequency
(2.4 GHz band).
Wireless LAN:
approx. 2 m (61/2 ft)

Wireless
system

Cordless phone and
other electronic devices:
approx. 2 m (61/2 ft)

120°

§

Do not use the wireless system or the digital
transmitter in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.

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 (“ [W1] ”) 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 or move the wireless system
nearer to the main unit.

If irregular coloring occurs on your TV
The center speaker is designed to be used close to a TV, but the picture
may be affected with some TVs and setup combinations.
If this occurs, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.
The demagnetizing function of the TV should correct the problem. If it
persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.

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.

Notes on speaker use
≥Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be
negatively affected.
≥ 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.

Caution
Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.
