Set up and Maintenance of the Receiver

THOMSON DPL660HT - Set up and Maintenance of the Receiver - 1

IMPORTANT NOTE

- Provide spaces for sufficient ventilation as indicated below. If the space is insufficient, the unit may overheat resulting in malfunction and shorter life time.

10 cm/4" 10 cm/ 4" 10 cm/ 4" 10 cm/4" 5 cm/ 2"

  • Do not connect to the AC power cords until all connections are completed.
  • Do not use your set immediately after transferring it from a cold place to a warm place: there is risk of condensation.
  • Do not expose your set to water and excessively high temperatures.
    • After having disconnected your set, clean the case with a soft cloth, or with a slightly damp leather chamois. Never use strong solvents.

THOMSON DPL660HT - IMPORTANT NOTE - 2

Protect your Components from Overheating

  • Do not block ventilation holes in any component. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.
  • Do not stack components directly on top of each other.
  • Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand.
  • Place an amplifier near the top shelf of the stand so heated air rising from it will not affect other components. If you have a satellite receiver, you should place it on the top shelf.

Connecting to Audio-Visual Components

S-VIDEO

If your video component has a S-Video jack included, you can make use of it to enjoy enhanced video quality by connecting it to the relevant S-Video jack at the rear side of the receiver. One S-video cable is needed for each component. When S-Video cable is used, composite video (yellow RCA connector) cable must also be connected for VCR recording. Note: Before plugging in the optical cable or S-Video cable, make sure to match the shape of the plug and jack, otherwise, you will not be able to plug in completely.

DIGITAL CONNECTION

If you have a SAT receiver DVD player or CD player with a digital output, you can make use of an optical digital cable (not supplied) or coaxial digital cable (not supplied) to carry the audio portion of the signal and enjoy Dolby Digital sound quality. One optical or coaxial cable is needed for each SAT receiver, DVD player or CD player. When optical or coaxial cable is used, the analog audio cables are still needed if recording through a tape or VCR is desired. This receiver provides one optical and one coaxial digital input for the connection of your components. Please connect your components (e.g. DVD, SAT or CD) to the appropriate digital inputs and press DIGITAL INPUT to select the corresponding digital input source. Note: Optical and coax cables carry only the audio portion of the signal. A video connection must also be established for a SAT receiver and DVD player. S-video provides the best connection for the video portion of the signal. Composite video (yellow RCA connector) can also be used. It is important that the same type of cable (S-video or composite) that is connected from the Home Theater to the TV is used to connect the SAT receiver or DVD player to the Home Theater.

Read section on "Input Signal Setting" under "Advanced Sound Control" carefully to adjust the matching input settings.| B["CD Player"] B -->|to LINE O…

If your CD player is equipped with digital optical jacks, use of optical cable is preferred. What you need is just one more optical digital connecting cable (not supplied). Plug it in the digital input jack of the receiver and select OPTICAL on the receiver setting (see details on pg 20 chapter "Input Signal Setting"). You can enjoy better sound quality brought to you by the optical cable. When optical cable is used, analog cables are still needed for recording to tape output.

FRONT TERMINAL

Remark: If you have a video camera, video game machine, or an extra VCR, connect it to VAUX input at the front of the receiver

Digital Connections

Read instructions carefully when connecting components to the receiver.

Digital In Jacks can accept Dolby Digital (AC-3), DTS or PCM signals when compatible components are connected.

Speakers

There are 6 speakers equipped with the unit (2 front, 1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). In order to enjoy good surround effects, all six speakers need to be connected to the receiver.

At least two front speakers (left and right) are required. For better sound quality, Center speaker, rear speakers and Subwoofer should also be connected. Adding center and rear speakers will enhance surround effects. Adding a Subwoofer will increase bass response.

If you want to enjoy full range of sound effects, with small speakers, it is a must to use the subwoofer with the speakers to maintain adequate bass signal.

Speaker wires

1 for each speaker, is needed for connection. Twist the stripped ends of speaker cord about 2/3 inch (15 mm). Press down on the tab to open the terminal and insert the wire. Release tab to lock wire in the terminal.

Release tab to lock wire in the terminal.
NOTE: Make sure the insulation is completely removed from the ends of the Antenna and speaker wires at all connection points.

To ease speaker connections, the speaker wires and the terminals are color-coded.

  • White/Black (Front Left Speaker),
    • Red/Black (Front Right Speaker),
    • Green/Black (Center Speaker)
    • Blue/Black (Rear Left Speaker).
  • Grey/Black (Rear Right Speaker).
    • Purple/Black (Subwoofer)

Connect the L, R speakers at the back of the speakers to the corresponding color on the receiver. Do the same for center (with green/black terminal), rear speaker and the subwoofer (with purple/black terminal).

Speaker Polarity

When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities ("+" speaker wire to "+" on the receiver) of speaker wires and terminals are matched. If the wires are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass ("out of phase" effect).

Connecting the Subwoofer

Connect the subwoofer with the speaker wire (purple/ black) provided.

This receiver offers a high flexibility for user to use a large variety of speakers and subwoofers. For more information please refer to section "Fine Setting of the Speakers" in "Advanced Sound Control" on page 21.

Positioning your speaker

① Left, Right (Front Speakers)

They carry primarily music and sound effects

② Center

In surround mode, the center speaker carries much of the dialogue as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right speakers.

③ Surround (Rear Speakers)

Their overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field.

Subwoofer

A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heightens involvement with the action on the screen. It is therefore recommended to connect subwoofers when small speakers are used.

Magnetic shielding

Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distortion. Front and center speakers provided with DPL660HT are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set.

It is not recommended to place the rear speakers near the TV set.

Front Speaker Placement

Even if you can't duplicate this ideal home theater setup exactly, the suggestions for speaker placement that follow will help you get good results.

Alignment

Align the center speaker evenly with (A), or slightly behind (B), the left and right speakers, but not ahead of them.

Preferred surround placement

Location

If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area, not behind it.

Aiming

Aiming surrounds straight across the room, not down at viewers, helps create a more open, spacious surround sound field.

Advanced Setting

Alternative Surround Placement

Rear wall

If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or even towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement until surround sounds seem to envelop you, rather than coming from behind you.

Courtesy Dolby Laboratories

No adjacent walls

Surrounds can go on stands facing each other to approximate the preferred sidewall mounting (A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area aimed upwards. In the latter case, they can go right on the floor, or preferably, a few feet off the floor such as on end tables (B).

Test Tone / Channel balance

Channel balance

Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator for balancing the channels. As the signal "travels" from channel to channel, adjust the level controls until each channel plays at the same loudness level.

graph TD A["Step 1"] --> B["Step 2"] B --> C["Step 3"] C --> D["Step 4"] D --> A

Courtesy Dolby Laboratories

Level adjustment & surround channel level expectation

Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as loud as the others on the test signal, you'll find that on actual program material the surround channel is usually much lower than the front. Don't be tempted to readjust the surround level; program producers use surround mostly for subtle atmospherics and ambience, and only rarely for special effects. A good surround mix doesn't call attention to itself; if it did, it would soon become distracting.

Sound Enhancement Systems

This receiver is equipped with several built-in sound enhancement systems.

Dolby Pro Logic II

The Pro Logic II mode uses the built-in circuit to steer the Left, Center, Right and Surround left and right channel audio signals and uses all five speakers to play both stereo and Dolby Pro Logic program source, such as TV and VCR. Dolby Pro Logic II includes Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, Dolby Pro Logic II Music and Dolby Pro Logic.

Use this mode to suit the type of program (such as VCR).

Dolby Digital

The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital surround from software processed in the Dolby Digital format. Dolby Digital provides better sound quality and more powerful presence than conventional Dolby Surround.

This unit is equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1-channel so that you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround sound. Being different from Dolby Pro Logic in which only four channels (Front Left, Front Right, Centre and Rear) are used, the new system provides stereo separation of the rear speakers (Rear-Right, Rear-Left). These 5 channels, together with the subwoofer channel for bass sounds (counted as 0.1 channel), constitute as 5.1-Channel (or 6 Channels) Input for Dolby Digital that brings you the most sophisticated sound enjoyment.

Digital Theater Systems (DTS)

DTS is a digital surround system which delivers six channels of master-quality, 20-bit audio. It offers five full-range channels plus a special low frequency effect (LFE) channel for subwoofer, resulting commonly know 5.1 channels. It can be applied with existing 5.1 speaker configurations.

DTS is available in DVD, SAT/CAB, TV and CD mode. (When digital cable is connected)

Stereo

The Stereo mode uses the two main channel outputs from the front speakers. Use this mode if you have connected the front speakers only.

DSP (Digital Sound Processor)

These digital sound effects resemble sounds in a real environment such as (STADIUM/THEATER/CONCERT/CLUB/CHURCH/ARENA). DSP automatically converts analog audio signals to digital ones which enables you to adjust the sound without degrading the sound quality. Different modes will give you different feel of size and type of listening environment. Press DSP

Advanced Sound Control

Fine Setting of the Speakers

This receiver supports a wide range of speakers and subwoofers. For optimal surround sound enjoyment, you need to register the speaker selection settings of your audio system. If you buy this receiver with accompanied speaker package, then this step has been done for you.

Also, to make the surround sound more effective and suit the acoustic conditions in your listening room, you need to delay the signal from some of the speakers. Such channel delay compensates for center or surround speakers that are closer to listening position than the front speakers. You can make use of the SETUP button to adjust the speakers' relative loudness.

The TEST TONE button

You can adjust the relative loudness of the individual speakers by the TEST TONE button.

  1. In Surround (Dolby Digital/Pro Logic/DTS) modes, press TEST TONE briefly. A short noise will be heard in the speakers one by one. The speaker having the noise at that moment will be shown in the display.

Displaying Program Formats

When a digital source is playing, the receiver will automatically switch to the proper surround mode and indicates on the speaker icons on the right-hand side of the display. (See diagram)

L C R LS RSLFE

It is important to note, however, that not all Dolby Digital sources are encoded with the full complement of five channels plus LFE*. Speaker icons show how many and which speaker you have enabled (See "Fine Setting of the Speakers") and the letters inside the speaker icons show which channel is present in the source information. For example, the diagram shown means you have all the five speakers and subwoofer enabled and the digital sources you played have five channels plus LFE complemented.

* LFE stands for Low Frequency Effect. The indication "LFE" appears if the digital source contains LFE information. In this case, the bass signal will be delivered to the subwoofer, offering more dynamic deep bass sound effects. If the letter is flashing, the signal is either too weak or just gone.
