Speaker Positioning

In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front speakers, centre speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer).

If you want to play the excellent bass sound, DTS digital surround or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect a subwoofer.

- Front speakers

According to your listening position set up the speakers for equal distance. And by hearing position set up the interval between speakers to 45 degree.

- Centre speaker

The centre speakers and front speakers are ideally the same height. But normally place it above or below the television.

- Rear speakers

Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround sound playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far behind the listening position and install them at or above the level of the listener's ears. It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.

In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall set the rear speakers opposite each other, and set the rear speakers above 60 - 90 cm than the listener's ears.

- Subwoofer

This can be placed in any front position.

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

MOVIE mode:

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

MUSIC mode:

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music mode includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual listening tastes.

MATRIX mode:

The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance mono signals by making them seem "larger." The Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate "cure" for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono.

3D SURROUND

This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D Surround Sound technology, which simulates multi-channel audio playback from two conventional stereo speakers instead of the five or more speakers normally required to listen to multi-channel audio from a home theatre. This feature works with DVD discs encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital audio tracks.

BYPASS

Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played according to the way it was recorded.

Sound Mode

You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to.

Press SOUND MODE repeatedly until the sound mode you want appears in the display window as below.

Each time you press SOUND MODE button, the sound mode is changed in the following order;

PRO LOGIC → PL2 MOVIE → PL2 MUSIC → PL2 MATRIX → 3D SURROUND → BYPASS

When DVD is inserted.

You can change the stream of DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM, etc) by pressing the AUDIO button on the remote during playback.

Although the DVD contents differ from disc to disc, the following explains the basic operation when this feature is used.

Each time you press AUDIO button, the sound mode of DVD is changed as the following order;

graph LR
    A["□□DIGITAL"] --> B["dts"]
    B --> C["PCM"]
    C --> D["□□DIGITAL"]

For your reference

• The DVD/VCR Combi receiver memorizes the last mode settings for each source individually.

• You can identify the encoding format of program software by looking at its packaging.

• Dolby Digital discs are labeled with the 📄 logo.

• Dolby Surround encoded programs are labeled with the DOBUY logo.
• DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with DTS.

Note

- When you play sound tracks with 96kHz sampling frequency, the output signals will be converted to 48kHz (sampling frequency).

Your DVD/VCR Combi receiver incorporates Long Play (LP) which enables you to record up to twice the amount of time on a video cassette. For example an E-180 will record up to 180 minutes using Standard Play (SP); using LP you will be able to record up to 360 minutes. Please note there will be a slight loss in picture and sound quality when using LP.

1. Make sure that you have correctly connected your DVD/VCR Combi receiver as described earlier in this book.

Press POWER to turn on your VCR.

1. Insert a video cassette with protection tab into your DVD/VCR Combi receiver.

The video cassette should have the window side facing up and the arrow facing away from you.

Notes:

- If at a later date you wish to delete or change any of the settings in timer event memory you may do so without having to enter all the timer event information again. Simply display the timer event screen. Press ▲ or ▼ to select the event that you wish to delete or change.

Press ◀ to delete the event...or Press OK to change; then press ◀ or ▶ to select; Station, Date, Start and End times and LP. Press ▲ or ▼ to enter the correct information.

- If Timer record events Overlap...

Make sure that the preset times of the timer recording events do not overlap. If they do, the earlier programme will always be given priority.

Example:

Programme 1 is programmed to start at 16:00 and end at 17:00. Programme 2 is programmed to start at 16:30 and end at 17:30. (In this case, Programme 1 will be recorded in its entirety, but only the last 30 minutes of Programme 2 will be recorded.)

Video Programme System (VPS)

The Video Programme System (VPS) ensures that the TV programmes that you have programmed for timer recording will be recorded exactly from their beginning to end, even if the actual broadcasting time differs from the scheduled time due to delayed start, or if the programme is extended beyond its scheduled time. Also, if a programme is interrupted, for example, if a news flash is inserted, the recording will also be interrupted automatically and resumed when the programme continues.

The VPS signal is broadcast by the TV station and this controls the timer in the video recorder.

VPS should be set ON for all timer recordings from TV stations broadcasting these signals. It should be set OFF for all timer recordings from TV stations that are not broadcasting these signals.

*** The similar system PDC, which is used in the time being in the Netherlands, can also be used with your new video recorder.

If Timer record events Overlap...

Do not overlap programmes, since overlapping portions of the conflicting programmes will not be recorded. Earlier recording times have priority over later recording times as shown in the diagram.

Example:

Programme 1 will be recorded in its entirety, but only the last 30 minutes of Programme 2 will be recorded.

PROGRAMME 1 16:00 17:00 17:30 16:30 PROGRAMME 2 (This portion will not be recorded.)

If two programmed timer recordings overlap at midnight 00:00 a.m., programme 2 will not be recorded.

Change (Deleting) the Timer Programme

If at a later date you wish to delete or change any of the settings in timer event memory you may do so without having to enter all the timer event information again. Simply display the timer event screen. Press ▲ or ▼ to select the event that you wish to delete or change. Press ◀ to delete the event...or Press OK to change, then press ◀ or ▶ to select; Station, Date, Start and End times and LP. Press ▲ or ▼ to enter the correct information.

DVD Audio Discs

DVD Audio is a new disc format building on the success of DVD to provide high quality, uncompressed, multi-channel audio for a new experience in audio quality. A DVD Audio disc can be identified by the DVD audio logo on the disc jacket or on the disc itself.

DVD Audio can provide higher quality stereo than Audio CDs with a sampling rate of up to 192kHz (compared to 44.1kHz for CDs). DVD Audio digital sound can be delivered with up to 24 bits of data (compared to 16 bits for a standard CD).

A typical DVD Audio disc contains up to seven times the data capacity of a CD. This additional space is used for music, either Advanced Resolution multi-channel sound quality that is closer to the artist's master recording or for longer recordings. Many DVD Audio discs contain on-screen text, such as artist biographies, playlists, or lyrics. Some DVD Audio discs contain photo galleries or video clips.

Note:

To enjoy maximum sound quality and surround effect of DVD Audio, you must use 5.1 channel analog audio output (5.1CH AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD/VCR Combi receiver). If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) for your audio connection, the sound will only be similar to CD-quality sound even though you're playing a DVD Audio disc.

Moving to another GROUP

Some DVD Audio discs divide content into different groups. Your player enables you to quickly access different groups during playback via the on-screen display.

1. Press DISPLAY during playback on in stop mode.
2. Press ▲▼ to select Group icon.
3. Press ◀ or the numbered buttons (0-9) to select a group number.

Note:

Sometimes the author of the disc creates hidden content that can only be accessed by entering a password. If the lock icon appears on the TV screen, enter the password (sometimes you'll find it on the disc's jacket cover or on a web site). This password control isn't dictated by your DVD/VCR Combi receiver — it is a function of the disc.

Since the authoring of DVD Audio Discs varies, some of the on-screen display choices might not be available for the disc you're playing.

Viewing another PAGE

Since DVD Audio discs can hold a lot of content, there are various ways to see what's available on the disc.

1. Press DISPLAY during playback.
2. Press ▲▼ to select Page icon.
3. Press ◀ to select a page number.

What appears on the screen will vary from disc to disc because the information available depends upon the way the disc was created.

Note:

Since the authoring of DVD Audio Discs varies, some of the on-screen display choices might not be available for the disc you're playing.

Playing an Audio CD or MP3/WMA Disc

• Bit rate: within 8 - 320kbps (MP3), 32 - 192kbps (WMA)
• The player cannot read an MP3/WMA file that has a file extension other than ".mp3" / ".wma".
  • CD-R physical format should be ISO 9660
• If you record MP3 / WMA files using software that cannot create a file system (eg. Direct-CD) it is impossible to playback MP3 / WMA files. We recommend that you use Easy-CD Creator, which creates an ISO 9660 file system.
• File names should have a maximum of 8 letters and must incorporate an .mp3 or .wma extension.
• They should not contain special letters such as / ? * : " < > I etc.
• The total number of files on the disc should be less than 650.

This DVD player requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.

Customers should note that permission is required in order to download MP3 / WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.
