Rear Speakers
Subwoofer Speaker
Set the front speakers so that their tweeters (high-range) are
aligned at about ear level and at a horizontal angle of 45°to the
prime listening position.
Ideally the center speaker should be positioned with its top
surface flush with the front speakers. However, you may place
the speaker either on top or near the bottom of your TV set.
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.
Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV or mount it
on a rack, free from vibration and instability.
Set the rear speakers further back, parallel to the walls,
at 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above prime listening
position ear level.
If the space behind the listening position is insufficient
(i.e., too close to the wall), place the rear speakers facing
each other on either side.
• After installation is complete, tie up or taping down long, loose electrical cords.
•Please refer to the KLIPSCH Operation Manual for details on using the speakers.

Unlike a regular Interlace Scan in which two fields of picture information are alternated to
create the entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses
one field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed
picture without visible scan lines. To enjoy a progressive scan video, connect a TV or
monitor that supports a progressive scan input to this device.
P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function
While the player is in the Stop mode, hold the P.SCAN
button down for longer than 1 second.
• The selection switches back and forth between "P.SCAN" and "I.SCAN"
each time the button is held down for a minimum of 1 second.
• The previous mode is indicated in the display first, followed by the
selected mode in about a second.
Press the Setup/P.Adj button. (Play mode only)
• Each time the Setup/P.Adj button is pressed, the following appears on the TV screen:
In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two
interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field
contains every other horizontal line in the frame.
The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and
then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating
gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame.
One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains
two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are
displayed every 1/60th of a second each.
The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing
a still object.
Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)
The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of
video consecutively down the screen, line by line.
As opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a
video image is drawn in a series of passes, you get an
entire image drawn at one time.
The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing
with moving objects. A camera that has the ability to
capture moving objects is called a "full frame shutter
camera".
Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)
What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?
•This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that
support Progressive Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs,
i.e., non-progressive scan TVs.)
•Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.
P.Scan Adj (Progressive Scan Adjusting)
This function allows you to optimize the picture quality when it becomes poor due to screen distortion or
discs containing erroneous data.

What is MP3?
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3.
MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*). That means,by using
MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD.
CD-R MP3 DISC
• Only CD-R discs with MP3 files in ISO 9660 or Joliet format can be played.
• The file name of the MP3 file may not be longer than 8 characters and should contain no blank spaces or special
characters.
• Use discs recorded with a compression/decompression data rate greater than 128Kbps.
• Only files with the ".mp3" and ".MP3" extensions can be played.
• Only a consecutively written Multisession disc can be played. If there is a blank segment in the Multisession disc,
the disc can be played only up to the blank segment.
• If the disc is not closed, it will take longer to begin playback and not all of the recorded files may be played.
• For files encoded in Variable Bit Rate (VBR) format, i.e. files encoded in both low bit rate and high bit rate (e.g.,
32Kbps ~ 320Kbps), the sound may skip during playback.
Depending on the recording mode, some MP3-CDs cannot be played.

•Your DVD player can also play CD-R and CD-
RW discs recorded in digital audio format.
When recording your own CD-R or CD-RW
discs, make sure that the recording session is
properly terminated, or they will not be
playable. (Depending on disc properties and
recording quality, some CD-R/RW may not be
playable.)
•CD-RW has a lower reflection rate than CD-R
media and consequently it will take a longer to
read CD-R discs.
•CD-RW discs recorded at high speed tend to
be difficult for the DVD player to read. If the
recording speed for the CD-RW disc is not
predetermined, write it at low speed.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields
You can use the following surround modes to reproduce a realistic sound field.
• Digital Multichannel Surround —Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround
• Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround
To enjoy surround effectively, all the speakers need to be connected and activated.
Dolby Digital
Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby Digital ( ).
Dolby Digital encoding method (discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format)records and digitally compresses the left front
channel,right front channel,center channel,left rear channel,right rear channel,and Subwoofer channel signals (total 6 channels,but
the Sub channel is counted as channel 0.1).
In addition,Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds,and sets the cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz,compared to 7 kHz
for Dolby Pro Logic.These facts result in better sound quality than Dolby Pro Logic.
When the system detects Dolby Digital signals,the DOLBY DIGITAL indicator lights up on the display.
DTS Digital Surround
Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround ( ).
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD,LD,and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital,audio compression rate is relatively low.
This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds.As a result,DTS Digital
Surround features natural,solid and clear sound.
When the system detects DTS Digital Surround signals, the DTS indicator lights up on the display.
Dolby Pro Logic II
• Dolby Pro-Logic II is a new multi-channel playback format developed by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic
steering technology and offering improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits.
• Dolby Pro Logic II can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround ( ) but also
regular stereo sources into five channels (front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) to achieve
surround sound.
• Whereas with conventional Dolby Pro Logic the surround channel playback frequency band was limited, Dolby Pro
Logic II offers a wider band range.
In addition, the surround channels were monaural (the surround left and right channels were the same) with previous
Dolby Pro Logic, but with Dolby Pro Logic II they are stereo.
* Sources recorded in Dolby Surround
These are sources in which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of signals
using Dolby Surround encoding technology.
Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and video cassettes to be played on
stereo VCRs, as well as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts and cable TV.
Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic makes it possible to achieve multi-channel surround playback.
The signals can also be played on ordinary stereo equipment, in which case they provide normal stereo sound.

conventional Dolby Pro Logic. It can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround, but
also regular stereo sources into five channels (front left/right, center and surround left/right). In addition,
various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so you can adjust the
sound field with greater precision.
Pro Logic II Mode
Select one of the modes (“Music”, “Cinema”, “Pro Logic” or “MATRIX”).
•
The Music mode is recommended when listening to CDs or watching DVDs with mostly
musical content.
•
The Cinema mode is best when watching movies.
•
The Pro Logic mode offers the same surround processing as original Pro Logic and is
best used when the source contents are not of optimum quality.
•
The Matrix mode is useful for when the audio is mono.

Modes

DSP modes have been designed to simulate different acoustic environments.
The sound heard in a hall, theater, pavilion, dance club, or live club consists of direct
and indirect sound —early reflections and reflections from behind.
Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection.
Indirect sounds are delayed by the distance of the ceiling and walls.
These indirect sounds are an important element of the acoustic surround effect.
•
The following DSP modes are provided with this unit:
•
These DSP modes can be used to add acoustic surround effects while reproducing
stereo analog or linear PCM digital signals.
•
When one of the DSP modes is selected,the DSP indicator lights up on the display.
Press the DSP/DPLII Mode button.
