Connections (Continued)

Optional Equipment Connections

1 Connect a VCR to the AV IN connectors.
2 Connect the USB port of a USB Memory (or MP3 player, etc.) to the USB HOST on the front of the unit.

Notes

• If the audio format of the digital output does not match the capabilities of your DVD/CD Receiver, the receiver will produce a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.
• The DivX files in your memory card will not be able to be play.

Aerial Connections

Connect the supplied FM/AM aerial for listening to the radio.

• Connect the AM Loop aerial to the AM aerial connector.
• Connect the FM Wire aerial to the FM aerial connector.

Notes

• To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM Loop aerial away from the DVD/CD Receiver and other components.
• Be sure to fully extend the FM wire aerial.
  ● After connecting the FM Wire aerial, keep it as horizontal as possible.

Connections (Continued)

Speaker System Connection

Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cords.

To obtain the best possible surround sound, adjust the speaker parameters (volume, distance, etc.).

otes

• Be sure to match the speaker cable to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and - to -. If the cables are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack base.
• If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers.

Connections (Continued)

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.

Speaker Positioning Example

Before Operation

Mini Glossary for Audio Stream & Surround mode

dts

Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources such as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio(which means identical to the original masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.

DIGITAL

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital program source. If you play DVDs with “ ” mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.

□□PRO LOGIC (II)

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.

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.

BYPASS

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

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).

20

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/CD 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 DISP. 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/CD 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 DISP. 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.

In normal RDS operation the display will indicate the station name, broadcast network or call letters. Pressing RDS on the remote control enables you to cycle through the various data types in the sequence:

(PS ↔ FREQUENCY ↔ PTY ↔ RT ↔ CT)

• PS (Programme Service name)- The name of the channel is shown in the Display Window.
• PTY (Programme type recognition)- The name of the programme type is shown in the Display Window.
• RT (Radiotext)- A "text" message contains special information from the broadcast station. Note that this message may scroll across the display to permit message.
