2 Insert two 1.5V AAA batteries, paying attention to the correct polarities (+ and -).

3 Replace the battery cover.

Caution

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking batteries:

• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (-) to (-) .
• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage.
  Always replace both batteries at the same time.
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

Range of Operation of the Remote Control

The remote control can be used up to approximately 23 feet/7 meters in a straight line. It can also be operated at a horizontal angle of up to 30^ from the remote control sensor.

To open the remote control cover, push the top of the cover, then slide downward.

Connecting the Speakers

Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Position of the DVD Player

• Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.

Front Speakers L R

• Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45^ ) toward you.
• Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ear.
• Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers.

Center Speaker

• It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers.
• You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

Selecting the Listening Position

The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the

TV. Example: For 32'' TVs 2~2.4m (6~8 feet)

For 55" TVs 3.5-4m (11-13 feet)

Rear Speakers LS RS

• Place these speakers behind your listening position.
• If there isn't enough room, place these speakers to face each other.

• Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3 feet) above your ear, facing slightly downward.

• Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.

Subwoofer SW

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical.

Connecting the Video Out to TV

• Depending on your TV, Component Video input jacks may be marked as DVD Video input.

Composite Video (Good Quality)

Connect the supplied video cable from the VIDEO OUT jack on the back panel of the system to the VIDEO IN jack on your television.

S-Video (Better Quality)

If you television is equipped with an S-Video input, connect an S-Video cable (not supplied) from the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the back panel of the system to the S-VIDEO IN jack on your television.

Component Video (Best Quality)

If your television is equipped with Component Video inputs, connect a component video cable (not supplied) from the Pr, Pb and Y jacks on the back panel of the system to the corresponding jacks on your television.

Note

• When the Progressive scan mode is selected, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed any signal. See page 14 to select Progressive Scan.

P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function

Unlike regular Interlace Scan, in which two fields of picture information alternate to create the entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture without visible scan lines.

1 Press STOP button.

• When disc is played back, press the STOP button twice so that "STOP", appears on the display.

2 Press and hold P.SCAN button on the remote control for over 5 seconds.

What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?

Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)

Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)

In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field contains every other horizontal line in the frame. The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame. One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are displayed every 1/60th of a second. The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing a still object.

The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of video consecutively down the screen, line by line. An entire image is drawn at one time, as opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a video image is drawn in a series of passes. The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing with moving objects.

Note

• This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support Progressive Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive scan TVs.)
• Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.

Selecting the Video Format

Press and hold NTSC/PAL button on the remote controller for over 5 seconds while the power is turned off.

• "NTSC" or "PAL" will appear in the display.
  At this time, press the NTSC/PAL button shortly to select between "NTSC" and "PAL".
  Each country has a different video format standard.
• For normal playback, the video format of the disc must be the same as the video format of your TV.

Connecting External Components

Notes on Terminology

ANGLE	Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which have been simultaneously shot from a number of different angles (the same scene is shot from the front, from the left, from the right, etc.). With such discs, the Angle button can be used to change the angle of view for specific scenes.
CHAPTER NUMBER	These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A Title is subdivided into many sections, each of which is numbered, and specific parts of the video can be searched quickly using these numbers.
DVD	A high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures and sound have been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression technology (MPEG-2) and high-density recording technology, a DVD disc comprises two 0.6 mm thick discs bonded together.
PCM	An acronym for Pulse Code Modulation - another name for digital audio.
PBC (PLAYBACK CONTROL)	This is recorded on a video CD (version 2.0). Selected scenes or information can be chosen from the menu displayed on the TV monitor.
REGION NUMBER	Both the DVD player and DVD discs are encoded with a region number. If the region number on the DVD disc does not correspond to the region number of the DVD player, the player cannot play the disc.
SUBTITLES	Translated appearing at the bottom of the screen. A DVD disc can contain up to 32 subtitle languages.
TITLE NUMBER	These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. When a disc contains two or more movies, these movies are numbered as Title 1, Title 2, etc.
TRACK NUMBER	These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are recorded on video and audio CDs. They enable specific tracks to be located quickly.
VIDEO CD	Contains recordings of pictures and sound whose quality is roughly comparable to that of video tape. This player also supports video CDs with playback control (version 2.0).
DIGITAL SURROUND	You can enjoy 5.1 (or 6) channels of high fidelity digital sound from various digital input sources such as DVD, CD etc. DTS provides a realistic, clear surround sound that has not previously been available from conventional surround sound.
DOLBY DIGITAL	5.1 (or 6) Channel Digital Surround sound reproduced from DVDs and LDs recorded as a digital signal (with DIGITAL disc marking). With better sound quality, dynamic range, and directionality than traditional Dolby surround technology, you can enjoy dynamic, realistic sound.
DOLBY DIGITAL PRO LOGIC II	A 4 channel analog sound reproduced from a program source such as a videotape or LD with the mark. You can enjoy a more realistic, robust sound unavailable from regular stereo sources.
