Sound from the VCR or other external equipment will not be heard from the television if you connect the television with a scart to scart cable. This is because the scart connector on the DVD amplifier Unit only carries output from the DVD player part.
- If VCR Audio is mono, surround speakers sound level will be low or absent.

To hear the sound from television programmes through the Unit

Sound from the television does not go to the speakers of the DVD amplifier Unit with the suggested connections. To hear sound from television programmes through the DVD amplifier's loudspeakers you need to use your video recorder as a television tuner. To do this follow these steps:

1. Connect up the VCR as above in "Connecting a VCR". If your television does not have the round (RCA-style) connectors you can get an RCA to scart input adapter.
2. Press the FUNCTION button on the DVD Amplifier Unit to get AV_IN mode, shown on the front panel display.
3. On the television, select the AV or scart input channel for the DVD amplifier Unit.
4. On the VCR, select the television programme you want to watch.

5. On the DVD amplifier Unit select normal stereo or Pro Logic decoder modes according to your preference.

6. Please refer to the AV_IN rows of the table on page 15 describing which speakers the sound will come out of.

7. When using the VCR as a television tuner, you cannot watch one programme while recording another.

D. Connecting the speakers & subwoofer

1. The speaker cords have been color-coded to simplify connection. Just plugthePOSITIVE (+) and NEGATIVE (-) ends of each speaker wire into the corresponding jacks on the rear of the Unit, matching the color tube on the end of the speaker wire to the color-coded connector.
2. The front left/right and rear left/right speakers are all the same. However, make sure you connect to the center speaker which is slightly longer than the rest.
3. Use the included RCA plug to connect subwoofer out jack on the rear of the main unit and subwoofer in jack on the rear of the active subwoofer. Turn the POWER switch on the rear of subwoofer on, then press the power On/Off button on the front panel of subwoofer while the subwoofer is in standby mode.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc. that gives movie theatre ambience to audio output when the Unit is connected to a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel processor or amplifier.

This Unit automatically recognizes DVDs that have been recorded with Dolby Digital.

Not all Dolby Digital sources are recorded with 6 channels.

Some sources marked Dolby Digital may be recorded in Dolby Surround, a 2 channel system. Look for this logo on your DVD Unit.

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.

"DTS" and "DTS Digital Surround" is a sound sytem which give movie theatre ambience to audio output when the Unit is connected to a DTS Digital Surround processor or amplifier. This Unit can recognizes DVDs that have been recorded with DTS Digital Surround. Look for this logo on your DVD Unit.

Movie Mode

The Movie mode in Pro Logic II is very similar to that of the original Pro Logic decoder. The main difference is that it has stereo surround channels and no surround filter, unlike Pro Logic which has a mono surround channel and a 7 kHz surround filter. Movie mode is the standard required for all A/V systems. When an autosound unit has a video screen, it is also considered an A/V system. It can be called simply "Pro Logic II".

Music Mode

The Music mode offers users some flexibility to control the end results to their own taste. Music mode should not be used with THX audio processing mode. Music mode is recommended as the standard mode for autosound music systems (without video), and is optional for A/V systems. It is recommended that Music mode be identified as the "Music" version of Pro Logic II, to distinguish it from the Movie mode.

Adjusting the Sound

Pro Logic Emulation Mode

The Pro Logic emulation mode offers users the same robust surround processing as original Pro Logic, in case the source content is not of optimum quality, or if there is a desire to hear the program more "as it used to be". When this mode is used, it is called Pro Logic, as before. There is no "Pro Logic I" mode. The Pro Logic emulation mode is optional. Dolby does not require PLII products to use the original Pro Logic decoding algorithm. However, if the DSP contains the original Pro Logic code, and if the product maker would like to use it, this is quite acceptable and even encouraged. A product must not offer both original Pro Logic and the Pro Logic emulation mode.

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.
