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.

Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM 75 Ω COAXIAL
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 Ω 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.

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 Surround—Dolby 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 signals—matrix-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*
Used to reproduce sound tracks of the VCR tapes encoded with
DOLBY SURROUND
Dolby Surround (
).
This is only used for the sound sources coming through the AUX IN
jacks.

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 sound—early
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 speaker’s 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 there” feeling.
When one of the DSP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights up
on the display.

Disc Introduction—DVD/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
Introduction” on page 40.
Disc structure—DVD, 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.)

• 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 ERR” appears 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 “
” appears on the TV screen when pressing a button,
the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do, or
information required for that operation is not recorded in the disc.
NOTICE : In some cases, without showing “
,” operations
will not be accepted.

TOP MENU MENU
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.
“Root” is 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 directories—so-called “hierarchy”—is eight (inclusive of the
root).
For in-depth information about a disc to be played back, see
“Disc Introduction—DVD/VCD/CD” on 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.)

holding it at the edge while
pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of
the disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after
