GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid the risk of fire or an electric shock, you should not expose the device to rain or moisture. Consequently, do not use the device in the immediate vicinity of water - for example near a bath tub, a swimming pool or in a damp cellar.

Use the device only for the intended purpose.

Only connect the device at a properly installed plug socket. Pay attention that the specified voltage corresponds to the voltage of the plug socket.

When using external mains supply, pay attention to the correct polarity and voltage. Always place the batteries in the correct direction.

Assemble the device in such a way that the available ventilation openings are not covered.

Never open the housing of the device. Incorrect repairs can constitute a considerable risk for the user. Should the device become damaged, in particular the mains supply cable, do not operate the device any longer, but rather have it repaired by an expert. Check the mains supply cable regularly for damage.

For safety reasons a broken or damaged mains lead may only be replaced by an equivalent lead from the manufacturer, our customer service department or a similary qualified person.

If the device is not used for a longer period, remove the plug connector from the plug socket or take out the batteries.

These symbols may be found on the machine and are intended to indicate the following:

The lightning symbol should advise the user of parts in the inside of the device which carry dangerously high voltage levels.

The symbol with an exclamation mark should advise the user of important operation or maintenance instructions in the accompanying documentation.

Devices bearing this symbol work with a „class 1 laser“ for tracing the CD. The built-in safety switches should prevent the user being exposed to dangerous laser light, which is invisible to the human eye, when the CD compartment is opened.

Under no circumstances should these safety switches be bypassed or manipulated, as this could result in a danger of exposure to the laser light.

DOLBY DIGITAL AND DOLBY SURROUND

Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround are special sound recording procedures that were originally developed for film. To be able to also use these spatial sound effects at your home, video tapes, TV broadcasting, CDs and LDs have been manufactured with this technology. In contrast to Dolby Surround Pro Logic, stereo channels are also used for both surround speakers in Dolby Digital.

When buying DVDs, video cassettes, LDS and music CDs look out for the DOLBY SURROUND logo and the DOLBY DIGITAL logo. These logos mark all picture and sound media that contain recordings in Dolby-Pro-Logic Surround and Dolby Digital quality.

VHS video cassettes that are only marked by the DOLBY B NK logo do not contain the required information.

CLATRONIC DVD 552 HC - DOLBY DIGITAL AND DOLBY SURROUND - 1

CLATRONIC DVD 552 HC - DOLBY DIGITAL AND DOLBY SURROUND - 2

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation. DOLBY, the Double-D symbol and PRO LOGIC are registered trademarks of the Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

This system is for a 5.1 decoder with 5 different audible sound channels (right forward, left forward, middle, right rear left rear) plus 1 subwoofer.

SETTING UP THE INDIVIDUAL DEVICES

Operating location of the DVD receiver

Protect the device against moisture and rain. It must not be operated in damp rooms nor subjected to drips or splashes. Do not place any receptacles containing liquids e.g. flower vases, flowerpots on the device. Electrical current can deliver life-threatening shocks when in contact with water.

No objects should enter the device through the ventilation openings as these objects could then touch live parts.

Open sources of fire such as, e.g. burning candles must not be placed on top of the device.

Caution

If fluids or foreign object get inside the device then immediately pull the mains plug. Before re-starting the unit have it checked by an authorised dealer.

Condensed water can build up inside the device when moved form a cold location to a warm location. Leave the device switched off for several hours.

The device should be placed on a stable, horizontal surface to ensure that it sits securely and is not subject to vibrations.. Vibrations can damage the sensitive electronic components inside the device.

CLATRONIC DVD 552 HC - Caution - 1

The heat generated when operating the device must be able to escape. A build-up of heat causes failure to electronic components.

Do not place the device near other devices that generate strong magnetic fields (e.g. motors, speakers, transformers, etc.).

Caution!

To protect the user's eyes, a distance of at least 2 to 3m should be maintained when looking at the television (4x screen diagonal).

Setting up the speakers

All speakers should normally be located at the same distance to the listener (except for the subwoofer). However, this system also allows you to place the centre speaker and the surround speaker at a smaller distance to listener. The drawing provides you with a suggestion for how to set up the front, centre and surround speakers.

CLATRONIC DVD 552 HC - Setting up the speakers - 1

For the right and left channels, the front speakers (A) are set up (A) at the same distance to the listener. For optimal sound, these speakers should form an isosceles triangle to the listener. The tweeters should then be at the same level as the ears of the listener when seated.

For the middle channel, the centre speaker is placed central to the listening position (B) e.g. under the television. The main task of the middle channel is to play back events that come from the centre (e.g. speech) exactly from this location.

The surround speakers should be at a sufficient distance to the left and right of the listener or behind the listener in area (C). They must not be located below the ears of the listener when seated.

The Subwoofoers can be placed anywhere as the base frequencies can not be localised by the human ear. However, sufficient distance form the television must be observed as the magnetic speaker may otherwise cause disturbances to the picture.

Notes:

  • The distance between the centre speaker and the surround speakers must not be greater than the distance between the front speakers and the listener.
  • The subwoofer should be placed in a corner when possible in order to achieve maximal playback of back frequencies. The other speakers should not be placed in a corner.
  • The main direction of the sound from the speakers should not be impinged by furniture, curtains, etc. The listener should be able to see the speakers.

Depending on whether you place the speakers on a flat surface or on the wall, you should stick the adhesive film supplied with the device on the base or the rear of the speakers.

Note on disposal

Make a contribution to the environment!

Packaging and packing aids are recyclable and should always be disposed of accordingly.

Caution!

Keep packing material such as, e.g. packing bags away from children (Danger of suffocation)!

Remove the batteries before disposing of the unit. Old batteries and rechargeable batteries do not belong in the normal household waste.

The device and the batteries must be handed in to a special station for special refuse or to your centre for special resources.

Specialist dealers, specialist markets or sales partners will also accept your dead batteries.

When connecting the speakers, always observe the speaker connection plan on page 4.

When plugging in the speaker cable at the device (terminal 54) also only plug the black wire into the black socket and the coloured wires into the corresponding coloured socket. Make sure that when connecting the front and surround speakers (red and green), that for the right speaker you connect F/S R and for the left speaker you connect F/S L.

Warning!

Both rear speakers must always be connected. Confusing the connections can ruin the speakers.

After connecting the loudspeakers it is possible to test the sound. The way to do this is explained in the following section.

Tuning of the speaker system

In such multi channel systems, the system must be tuned to the listening position (e.g. sofa) after positioning the speakers. This is termed »noise focusing the system «. The basic setting, once found, must only be changed when the listening position or the position of the speakers has been changed.

Switch on the DVD receiver with the STANDBY switch POWER 6. Using ADJ/VOL + / - 5/40, set the volume to a middle value, about 10-15 dB, (see display unit 10). Take a seat on your sofa.

After the function »TEST TONE« has been set on the screen, the test signal generator transmits the noise (the technical term is "pink noise") for approximately 3-4 seconds to each of the connected loudspeakers in turn. The procedure can be observed in display unit 10.

The volume of the respective speaker is to be set with ADJ/VOL +/-40 in such a way that the noise level sounds the same from the position of the listener.

Aerial connection

FM reception:

To connect to the house aerial or to a satellite system, plug this cable in as the connection to the aerial socket FM 50

If a reception is too weak and there is interference from noise on the received station, you are advised to turn to FM Mono (remote control, button 39).

AM reception:

It is also possible to improve reception using the supplied aerial. This aerial should be fixed in place in as high a position as possible. Connect the supplied frame aerial to the AM 49 socket. To plug in the cable, flip the claming lever to the side and re-close it. Then align the frame aerial to achieve the best reception. If reception is too weak and there is interference from noise on the station being received, it may be possible to improve reception by turning and unwinding or winding up the aerial.
