Helpful Hints  
You only need to make one video connection to yourTV in order to view the DVD playback.  
If yourTV has only a single Antenna In jack, you will need an accessory RF modulator.  
The RF modulator converts the video from the DVD system so it can play through theTV’s  
Recommended Speaker Setup  
Antenna connector. Refer to your owner’s manual for proper connection.

Basic Functions  
Matrix  
Selecting the surround sound  
mode  
A new surround playback system that delivers amazingly  
rich and convincing four-channel surround outputs (front  
left/right, surround left/right).  
IMPORTANT!  
For proper surround sound, make sure you have  
followed the Connectionsand Preparations”  
procedures fully.  
The center and surround speakers only operate  
when the system is set to surround sound mode  
and the source material being played is recorded  
or broadcast in Dolby Digital, DTS or Dolby Pro  
Logic surround sound.  
Stereo broadcasts or recordings will produce  
some surround channel effects when played in a  
surround mode. However, monaural sources will not  
produce any sound from the surround speakers.  
VSS (Virtual Surround Sound)  
The ProLogic MPEG or Dolby Digital surround channel is  
processed by a ‘virtualizer’ DSP to add surround effect from  
just the two front speakers.  
Stereo  
All sound is reproduced and played through the front left  
and right speakers. This enables standard stereo  
reproduction.  
Selecting the digital sound  
effect  
The digital sound effects allow you to select from various  
pre-set modes that control the frequency bands of sound  
to optimize certain musical styles. It greatly enhances the  
excitement and enjoyment of your favorite music.  
G Press SURROUND to select surround or stereo mode.  
The availability of the various surround sound modes  
depend on the number of speakers used and the incoming  
sound information available on the disc.The available output  
modes are shown below.  
G Press SOUND repeatedly to select the available sound  
Dolby Digital Surround  
effect.  
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.  
When playing a DVD/VCD, select :  
– CONCERT, DRAMA,ACTION or SCI-FI  
When playing a CD or inTuner orAux mode,  
select :  
– CLASSIC, JAZZ, ROCK or DIGITAL  
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.  
Dolby Pro Logic Surround  
The Dolby Pro Logic Surround system is a specially  
encoded two-channel analog format that will produce  
sound through four speaker channels (front left, center,  
front right, monaural surround) when a Dolby Pro Logic  
Decoder is used. It is also compatible with stereo systems  
but the user will only have two-channel (front left & right)  
of sound.
