Simple setup

STEP 1 Positioning

Optimum location

Distance: A=B=C=D=E

Positioning for best effect

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points:

• Place speakers on flat secure bases.
• Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with a thick curtain.
  • The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Caution

• Use the speakers only with the recommended system. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance.
• Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods other than those described in this manual.

■ Attaching to a wall

Surround and center speakers can be attached to a wall.

① Drive a screw (not included) into the wall.
② Fit the speaker securely onto the screw(s) with the hole(s).

- The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 10 kg per screw. Consult a qualified building contractor when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall and speakers.

Front speakers

Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel orientation is necessary.

Center speaker

• Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a rack or shelf.
  • To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place directly on top of the television.

Subwoofer(s) VK92D VK82D

Place to the right and left (VK92D) or right (VK82D) of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won't cause vibration.

Leave 10 cm at the rear for ventilation.

Use only supplied speakers

• Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will be negatively affected.
• Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.

Notes on speaker use

• You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play sound at high levels over extended periods.
• Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage. — When playing distorted sound.

— When the speakers are reverberating due to a record player, microphone(s) (except Australia and N.Z.), noise from FM broadcasts, continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.

— When adjusting the sound quality.
— When turning the unit on or off.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

The front and center speakers and subwoofer(s) are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and set-up combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

The television's demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

Note

• Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.
• You cannot take the front net off the speakers.

• Turn the television off before connecting, and refer to the television's operating instructions.

■Television with a VIDEO IN terminal

■Television with an S VIDEO IN terminal

S VIDEO OUT terminal

The S VIDEO terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)

Video cable

■Television with COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminals

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (P_B/P_R) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.

- The description of the component video input terminals depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/P_B/P_R,Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/C_B/C_R). Connect to terminals of the same color.

To enjoy progressive video

Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480p (or 525p) or 576p (or 625p) compatible television. (Video will not be displayed correctly if connected to an incompatible television.)

Using an external unit

You can playback the sound from a video cassette recorder, tape deck, laser disc player, etc., through this unit's speaker.

Before connection

• Disconnect the AC power supply cord.
• Turn off all equipment and read the appropriate operating instructions.
• The equipment connections described are examples.
• Peripheral equipment and optional cables are sold separately unless otherwise indicated.

When connecting a record player
We recommend using a record player with a built-in phono equalizer. If your player doesn't have a built-in equalizer, connect it first to a separate equalizer and then connect that to this unit.

1 Press [TUNER/AUX] (main unit: [AUX]) to select "AUX". The unit comes on.

• For details, refer to the instruction manual of the units which are to be connected.
• When units other than those described above are to be connected, please consult your audio dealer.

Optional antenna connections

Use outdoor antenna if radio reception is poor.

Note

Disconnect the outdoor antenna when the unit is not in use. Do not use the outdoor antenna during a lightning storm.

FM outdoor antenna

• Disconnect the FM indoor antenna.
• The antenna should be installed by a competent technician.

AM outdoor antenna

• Run a piece of vinyl wire horizontally across a window or other convenient location.
• Leave the loop antenna connected.

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This unit can determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable method of progressive output.

For NTSC

Film is 24 or 30 frames per second, with motion picture film generally being 24 frames per second.

Video is 60 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).

For PAL

Film is 25 frames per second.

Video is 50 fields per second (two fields making up one frame).

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture.

There are about 30 frames shown each second.

One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields one after the other to create frames.

A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high.

A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so picture quality is lower.

Progressive/Interlace

The PAL video signal standard has 576 (or 625) interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning, called 576p (or 625p), uses twice the number of scan lines. For the NTSC standard, these are called 480i (or 525i) and 480p (or 525p) respectively.

Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video recorded on media such as DVD-Video.

Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adapted for use with DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

I: Intra coded picture

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.
