1 Insert so the poles (+ and −) match those in the remote control.

R6/LR6, AA

• Do not use rechargeable type batteries.

the 6, AA

Do not:

• mix old and new batteries.
• use different types of batteries at the same time.
• heat or expose batteries to flame.
  • take apart or short circuit the batteries.
• attempt to recharge alkaline or manganese batteries.

Use

Aim at the remote control signal sensor ( page 14), avoiding obstacles, at a maximum range of 7 m directly in front of the unit.

Setup example

Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

FRONT (L, R) SURROUND (L, R) CENTER SUBWOOFER Do not use a front speaker as a surround speaker or vice versa. Verify the type of speaker with the label on the rear of the front speaker. Main unit 120° 60° 1 2 3 4 ENGLIS GETTING STARTED

- Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be negatively affected.
- Place speakers on fl at secure bases. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.
- Placing speakers too close to fl oors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.

Main unit

• Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.
• To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the main unit, position it with at least 5 cm of space on all sides.
• Do not block the ventilation holes of the main unit.

CAUTION!

- Refrain from holding the speaker's net.

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

- Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave a space of 30~cm from the television.

Note

• 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, noise from FM broadcasts, or 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 are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup 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.

Caution

• The main unit and supplied speakers are to be used only as indicated in this setup. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifi er and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fi re. Consult a qualifi ed 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.

Changing the delay time of the speakers

Effective when playing multi-channel audio

(Center and surround speakers only)

For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating position. If you have to place the center or surround speakers closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.

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 fi lm or video. This unit can determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable method of progressive output.

Film: Recorded at 25 frames per second (PAL discs) or 24 frames per second (NTSC discs). (NTSC discs recorded at 30 frames per second as well). Generally appropriate for motion picture films.

Video: Recorded at 25 frames/50 fi elds per second (PAL discs) or 30 frames/60 fi elds per second (NTSC discs). Generally appropriate for TV drama programs or animation.

Frame still and fi eld 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 fi elds. A regular television shows these fi elds 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 fi elds, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high.

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

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic products. Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports high-defi nition video output (720p, 1080p) from the HDMI AV OUT terminal. To enjoy high-defi nition video, a high-defi nition compatible television is required.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted 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.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of compression.

Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

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

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality.

Playback control (PBC)

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

Progressive/Interlaced

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

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.

WMA (Windows Media™ Audio)

WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller than that of MP3.
