SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
SOME DOS AND DONTS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”  
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be  
taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.  
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are  
properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing  
connections.  
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.  
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way–switch off, withdraw  
the mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has  
a standby mode.  
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.  
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.  
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch  
television whilst driving.  
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.  
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.  
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.  
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved  
stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.  
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL  
— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case -this could result in a fatal  
electrical shock.;  
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

Getting Started  
Before Installation  
General Precautions  
• DO NOT insert any metal object into the center unit.  
• DO NOT disassemble the center unit or remove screws, covers, or  
cabinet.  
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control  
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.  
• When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at  
the remote sensor on the center unit.  
1. On the back of the remote control, remove the  
battery cover.  
• DO NOT expose the center unit to rain or moisture.  
Locations  
• Install the center unit in a location that is level and protected from  
moisture.  
• The temperature around the center unit must be between 5˚C and  
35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F).  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor  
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the center unit.  
Handling the center unit  
2. Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity:  
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).  
• DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.  
• DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When  
unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage  
the cord.  
• Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the  
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It  
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection,  
since it is well-shielded against interference.  
• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,  
the preset settings such as preset FM/AM channels and sound  
adjustments may be erased in a few days.  
3. Replace the cover.  
Checking the Supplied Accessories  
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories.  
The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces  
supplied.  
• Remote Control (1)  
• Batteries (2)  
• AM Loop Antenna (1)  
• FM Antenna (1)  
• Video cord (1)  
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace  
the batteries. Use two UM-4“AAA”/IEC “R03” type dry-cell  
batteries.  
• Speaker cords  
5 m (4)* : For left front speaker, right front speaker, center  
speaker, and subwoofer  
CAUTION:  
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:  
Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity: (+)  
to (+) and () to ().  
10 m (2)* : For left rear speaker and right rear speaker  
Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may  
differ in voltage.  
* The length of the speaker cords above are approximate.  
Always replace both batteries at the same time.  
Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.  
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

terminal as temporary measure.  
Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to the AM and H terminals.  
Turn the loop until you have the best reception.  
Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.  
• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna. Before attaching  
a 75 coaxial cable (with a standard type connector), disconnect  
the supplied FM antenna.  
• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire  
to the AM terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.)  
Note:  
If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove  
the vinyl by twisting it as shown in the diagram.  
About the cooling fan  
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the center unit to  
prevent abnormal temperature inside the center unit, thus assuring  
normal operation of the unit. The cooling fan automatically starts  
rotating to supply external cool air to the inside of the center unit  
when the internal temperature goes up.  
For safety, observe the following carefully.  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor  
ventilation could overheat and damage the center unit.  
• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or  
holes. (If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the  
heat may not be able to get out.)

When setting the speakers  
Connecting the Speakers  
To obtain the best possible sound from this system, you need to  
place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the same distance  
from the listening position with each front faced toward the listener.  
Since bass sound is non-directional, you can place a subwoofer  
wherever you like. Normally place it in front of you.  
Connect the satellite speakers, center speaker, and subwoofer to the  
terminals on the rear panel using speaker cords supplied.  
Labels are attached to the speaker cords to indicate the speaker and  
the terminal to which each is to be connected.  
• The four satellite speakers can be used for any positions—front  
left and right, and rear left and right.  
• Connect the white cord to the red (+) terminal, and the black cord  
to the black (–) terminal respectively.

If your speakers cannot be placed at the same distance from the  
listening position  
You can adjust the delay time of the center speaker and rear  
speakers. For in-depth information about adjusting the delay time,  
see “Setting the Delay Time” on page 17.  
1 Press and hold the terminal clamp.  
2 Insert the speaker cord.  
Note:  
You can change the phase of subwoofer sounds by connecting the  
speaker cords to the terminals inversely—the white cord to the black  
terminal, and the black cord to the red terminal.You may get the more  
effective bass sounds by changing the phase.  
3 Release the finger from the clamp.  
Note:  
CAUTION:  
If the speaker cord is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl  
by twisting it as shown in the diagram.  
When attaching the satellite speakers on the wall, have them  
attached to the wall by a qualified person.  
DO NOT attach the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to  
avoid an unexpected damage of their falling from the wall, caused  
by incorrect attachment or weakness in the wall.  
Care is required in selecting a location for attaching speakers to the  
wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to equipment, may result if the  
speakers are attached in a location which interferes with daily  
activities.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields  
You can use the following surround to reproduce a realistic sound  
field.  
Digital Multichannel SurroundDolby Digital and DTS Digital  
Surround  
Dolby Surround  
DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes  
Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo  
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel,  
right front channel, center channel, and rear channel signals (total 4  
channels) into 2 channels.  
The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this system decodes these 2  
channel signals into original 4 channel signalsmatrix-based  
multichannel reproduction, and allows you to enjoy a realistic stereo  
sound in your listening room.  
I Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround  
To enjoy surround effectively, all the speakers need to be  
connected and activated.  
When one of Dolby Surround is selected, the PRO LOGIC indicator  
lights up on the display.  
Dolby Digital*  
Indications on the display for each surround  
Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software  
encoded with Dolby Digital (  
).  
Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital encoding method (so-called discrete 5.1 channel  
digital audio format) records and digitally compresses the left front  
channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear channel, right  
rear channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but LFE  
channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel).  
Since each channel is completely independent from the other  
channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much better  
sound quality with much stereo and surround effects.  
DTS Digital Surround  
In addition, Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds, and sets the  
cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for  
Dolby Pro Logic. These facts enhance the sound movement and  
being-there feelings much more than Dolby Pro Logic.  
Dolby Pro Logic  
When the system detects Dolby Digital signals, the DOLBY  
DIGITAL indicator lights up on the display.  
DTS Digital Surround**  
Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software  
Dolby 3 Stereo  
encoded with DTS Digital Surround (  
).  
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio  
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.  
Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate is relatively low.  
This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and  
depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital Surround  
features natural, solid and clear sound.  
DSP*  
When the system detects DTS Digital Surround signals, the DTS  
indicator lights up on the display.  
* When you select FM/AM or AUX as the source, the Linear  
PCM indicator (  
) does not light up.  
According to the speaker settings, some speaker indicators do  
not light up. In this case, set the speaker setting appropriately.  
I Dolby Surround*

I DSP (Digital Signal Processor) Modes  
DSP modes have been designed to create important acoustic  
surround elements.  
To check the speaker connections and settings using the test  
tone  
1. Select and play a DVD encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS  
Digital Surround.  
The sound heard in a hall, a theater, a pavilion, a dance club, or a  
live club consists of direct sound and indirect soundearly  
reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the  
listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect  
sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls.  
These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic  
surround effects.  
TEST  
2. Press TEST on the remote control.  
The test tone comes out from the speakers in the  
order.  
If there is a speaker from which no sounds comes out, check  
the speakers connection (see pages 6 and 7) and setting (see  
page 16).  
3. Press TEST again to stop the test tone.  
The following DSP modes are provided with this unit.  
HALL  
: Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert  
hall.  
THEATER  
PAVILION  
: Gives the feeling of a theater.  
: Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a  
high ceiling.  
DANCE CLUB : Gives a throbbing bass beat.  
LIVE CLUB : Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low  
ceiling.  
These DSP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround effects  
while reproducing stereo analog software or Linear PCM digital  
software, and can give you a real being therefeeling.  
When one of the DSP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights up  
on the display.

Disc IntroductionDVD/VCD/CD  
This system has been designed to play back the following discs:  
DVD, Video CD, Audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.  
This system can also play back MP3 files recorded on CD-Rs and  
CD-RWs. For in-depth information about what MP3 is, see MP3  
Introductionon page 40.  
Disc structureDVD, Video CD (VCD) and Audio CD (CD)  
A DVD disc consists of Titles, and each title may be divided into  
some Chapters. (See Example 1.)  
For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may  
have its own title number, and it may be further divided into some  
chapters.  
On the other hand, a VCD or CD consists of Tracks. (See Example  
2.)  
Discs you can play:  
Disc  
Type  
Mark  
(Logo)  
Video  
Format  
Region Code  
Number*  
In general, each song has its own track number. (On some discs,  
each track may also be divided by Indexes.)  
When playing back a VCD with Playback Control (PBC) function,  
you can select what to view using the menu shown on the TV  
screen. (While operating a Video CD using the menu, some of the  
functions such as Repeat and Track Search may not work.)

DIGITAL AUDIO

Example 2 : Video CD/Audio CD  
CD-RW  
On some DVD or VCD discs, their actual operations may be  
different from what is explained in this manual. This is due to  
the disc programming and disc structure, but not a  
malfunction of this system.  
The following discs cannot be played back:  
DVD-Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R,  
DVD-RW, CD-ROM, CD-I, (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.  
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the  
speakers.  
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW  
User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be  
played back only if they are already finalized.”  
The system can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a  
personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD  
format or recorded in MP3 format (see page 40).  
However, they may not be played back depending on their  
characteristics or recording conditions.  
* Note on Region Code  
DVD players and DVD Video discs have their own Region Code  
numbers. This system only can play back DVD discs recorded with  
the color system of PAL whose Region Code numbers include 2.”  
Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or  
cautions carefully.  
Examples:  
Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit  
because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if  
the built-in lens is dirty.  
If a DVD with the inadequate Region Code numbers is loaded,  
REGION ERRappears on the display and playback cannot  
start.  
CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the  
fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.  
IMPORTANT: Before performing any operations, make sure of  
the following....  
Check the connection with the TV.  
Turn on the TV and select the correct input on the TV to view the  
pictures or on-screen indications on the TV screen.  
For DVD playback, you can change the Setup menu setting to  
your preference. (See pages 50 to 53.)  
If “

the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do, or  
information required for that operation is not recorded in the disc.

AUDIO/  
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG)  
Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression  
ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*). That means, by using MP3 format, one  
CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a  
regular CD can.  
* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of audio data  
will consume. The measuring unit used is Kbps (1000 bits per  
second).

and played back?  
MP3 files (tracks)can be recorded in directories (or folders),in  
PC terminology.  
During recording, the files and directories can be arranged in a way  
similar to arranging files and folder/directories of computer data.  
Rootis similar to the root of a tree. Every file and directory can be  
linked to the root.  
In compliance with ISO 9660, the maximum allowable depth of  
nested directoriesso-called hierarchy”—is eight (inclusive of the  
root).  
For in-depth information about a disc to be played back, see  
Disc IntroductionDVD/VCD/CDon page 25.  
Playback order, files search order, and directory search order of the  
MP3 files recorded on a disc are determined by the writing (or  
encoding) application; therefore, playback order may be different  
from the one you have intended while recording the folders/  
directories and the files.  
Note on MP3 discs  
MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time.  
(It differs due to the complexity of the directory/file configuration.)
