reception, use an outdoor AM antenna (not supplied).
Note:
Use an insulated wire more than 15 feet (5m) long. Strip
one end, and connect that end to AM.
– Keep the antenna as far away as possible from theTV, VCR
or any radiation source to prevent unwanted noise.
String the antenna wire outdoors or indoors near a
window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal
to a reliable ground.

Preparations
Inserting batteries into the
remote control
Setting up the surround sound
system
You must connect all the speakers and set up the system
properly in order to enjoy the Digital Cinema experience at
home (refer to “Connections - Connecting the speakers”).
You will have the feeling of being in the middle of the action
because sound is coming from everywhere around you.
The subwoofer can enhance the bass performance of your
system dramatically.
1 Open the battery compartment.
2 Place the batteries in the
compartment with the correct
polarity as indicated by “+“ and “-“
symbols.
3 Close the cover.
CAUTION!
IMPORTANT!
– Remove batteries if they are exhausted or will
not be used for a long time.
– Do not use old and new or different types of
batteries in combination.
– Batteries contain chemical substances, so they
should be disposed off properly.
– Please sit at your usual listening position in
order to set up the speaker balance correctly.
– To change the surround sound settings, the
DVD system must be in a surround mode that
uses all the speakers (for example, Dolby Digital).
Placing the speakers
To obtain the best surround effect, place the speaker as
follows.
Switching on the system
1 After completing all the connections, connect the AC
power cord of the player and subwoofer to the wall outlet.
2 Press POWER to switch on the last selected source.
3 Adjust the SOURCE button (or press DVD/CD, TV/AV,
TUNER, CDR, AUX, SAT or VCR) to select the input
source.
G The selected source will be displayed.
G For viewing a DVD disc, aTV set needs to be connected
(refer to “Connections - Connecting aTV”).
Switch on theTV and set to the correct video in channel
(for example, EXT1, EXT2,AV1,AV2). Refer to yourTV
instruction manual for detail.
GThe default screen appears on theTV.
NTSC/PAL automatic
conversion
This player is equipped with an NTSC/PAL automatic
conversion feature that converts the video output of the
disc to match yourTV system (NTSC) automatically. For
example, you are able to play a PAL disc on an NTSC
systemTV.
1 Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances
from theTV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees
from the listening position.
2 Place the center speaker above or below theTV, so the
center channel’s sound is localized.
3 Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level
facing each other or mounted on the wall.
4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near to theTV.
Notes:
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front
speakers too close to yourTV.
– If the rear surround speakers are installed farther away
from the listening position than the front and center speakers,
it will weaken the surround effect.
– All speakers should be securely installed to prevent
accidents and improve sound quality.

Dolby Digital Surround
Dolby Digital (also known as AC-3 or Dolby 5.1) and
MPEG Multichannel delivers a realistic and dynamic sound
similar to theater and cinema. It requires connection of all
five speakers (front left/right, center, surround left/right) and
subwoofer for correct Dolby Digital Surround sound
reproduction. Each channel plays its own unique role in
providing the right sound. Front left, center and right join
two surround speakers to reproduce high, mid and bass
frequencies in five full-range channels of surround. Bass
rumble, explosions and low frequency effects you feel are
delivered through the subwoofer. A large number of DVD
discs have been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround.
Adjusting the tone
The tone controls only affect the front left and right
speakers.

DTS Surround
The DTS Surround is a cinema surround sound format that
offers superior digital audio performance. DTS offers more
clarity and definition especially for higher tones. The better
sound quality is a result of the limited sound compression
(3:1 instead of 11:1 for Dolby Digital) and the 20-bit
resolution.
Dimming the display screen
G Press DIM to switch the dim mode on or off.
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is a specially

Decoder is used. It is also compatible with stereo systems
but the user will only have two-channel (front left & right)
of sound.

movie rating is printed on the disc case. The rating level
feature does not work for such discs.
– If you change the level and enter a password, playback of
all DVDs with a rating higher than your selection will be
blocked unless you enter the correct password again. For
example: if you change the level to 5, the DVD player will not
play discs with ratings of 6,7, or 8 unless the correct password
