description of the component video input terminals depends on the television or

monitor (e.g. Y/P^B/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals of the same

If the subwoofer is set to “No”, the front speakers will automatically be set

to “Large”.

(Effective when playing multi-channel discs)

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.

If distances d (from the center speaker) and f (from the surround

speakers) are the same as or greater than e (from the front speakers),

leave the delay time as “0”, the factory preset.

If either distance d or f is less than e, find the difference in the relevant

table and change to the recommended setting.

Changing the delay time

1. Press [3, 4, 2, 1] to select the delay time box and press

[ENTER].

Glossary

Bitstream

Frame still and field still

The digital form of multi-channel data (e.g. 5.1 channel) before decoding.

Frames are the still pictures that make moving pictures. About thirty are

shown each second. A frame still may appear blurred but overall quality is

high.

Decoder

A decoder restores coded audio signals on DVDs to normal.

Two fields appear alternately to make up one frame. A field still is not

blurred but picture quality is lower.

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.

Interlace and progressive output

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines,

whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This

is called 480P.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as

2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround

channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

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

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.

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.

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.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

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

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is

recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at, while

video is recorded at 30 frames per second.
