Features  
Digital AV Receiver  
iPod  
This product is a pure digital AV receiver that performs  
digital signal processing to minimize signal distortion and  
loss.  
You can enjoy music files by connecting your iPod/iPhone  
to the AV Receiver with the supplied iPod dock.  
SFE (Sound Field Effect) Using  
32bit Audio Digital Signal  
Processing  
Provides more realistic surround sound with normal  
stereo audio sources.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
DPL II processes any high quality stereo signal source  
into five separate full frequency channels.  
DTS 96/24  
DTS 96/24 encodes standard 16 bit/44.1 kHz sound to  
24 bit/96kHz and applies it to a 5.1 CH sound track.  
Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) Function  
Anynet+ is a function that can be used to operate this  
AV Receiver with a Samsung TV remote control, by  
connecting the receiver to a SAMSUNG TV using an  
HDMI Cable. (This function is available only in  
connection with Samsung TV and DVD player  
supporting Anynet+(HDMI-CEC).)  
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)  
DTS provides a discrete 5.1 CH digital audio signal for  
both music and movie contents and uses less  
compression than Dolby Digital for richer sound.

INSERT REMOTE CONTROL BATTERIES  
* Batteries (AAA size)  
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:  
M
Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity : (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).  
Assuming typical TV usage, the batteries last for about one year.  
Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage.  
Always replace both batteries at the same time.  
Do not expose the batteries to heat or a flame.  
OPERATION RANGE OF THE REMOTE CONTROL  
The remote control can be used up to approximately 23 feet/7 meters in a straight line. It can also be operated at a  
horizontal angle of up to 30° from the remote control sensor.

Position of AV Receiver  
Place the AV Receiver on a dedicated stand or rack.  
Subwoofer  
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.  
Front Speakers  
Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.  
Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ears.  
Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly  
in front of the center speaker.

Center speaker  
It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers.  
You can also install it directly over or under the TV.  
Surround Speakers  
Place these speakers behind your listening position.  
If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each other.  
Place them about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90cm) above your ears, facing slightly downward.  
Unlike the front and center speakers, the surround speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects  
and sound will not come from them all the time.  
When you attach the speakers to the wall, make sure to fasten them tightly so they do not fall off.  
M
Speaker Configuration  
For the best surround-sound experience, you should connect five speakers and a powered subwoofer.  
The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers you have.  
2 speakers  
3 speakers  
4 speakers  
5 speakers  
If you place a speaker near your TV set, screen color may be distorted because of the magnetic field generated  
by the speaker. If this occurs, place the speaker away from your TV set.

HDMI is a digital standard interface for connection to such devices as a TV, projector, DVD player, Blu-ray player, set-top  
box and more.  
HDMI removes any loss of signal from analog conversion, enabling you to enjoy video and audio sound quality as it was  
originally created in the digital source.  
By connecting through the HDMI(High-Definition Multimedia Interface) interface, you can play back digital video and audio.
