NOTE  
• The default distance is set to 10 feet for the Sound Bar speaker (Front L/R and Center speakers) and 8 feet for the Surround  
speakers. If you cannot position the speakers at the default distance, adjust the speaker balance by using “Speaker Settings”.  
(Pages 39-40)  
Important points on speaker location  
• Place the Sound Bar speaker at the position just in front of near the television.  
• Place the surround speakers at a position just above the height of your ears.  
• The subwoofer vibrates while reproducing bass. Place it on a stable, sturdy surface.  
• The subwoofer reproduces only lower frequency bass tones.  
• Since the human ear cannot identify the direction of low bass tones, the subwoofer can usually be placed freely in the room  
for the best sound result.  
• Bass sound is easily affected by the position of the subwoofer. If the bass tones in the listening position seem much too low  
or too high, try changing your listening position. If the bass tone level changes when you change the listening position, try  
relocating the subwoofer.  
TV  
Sound Bar speaker  
Magnetically shielded speakers  
The Sound Bar speaker (left/center/right) may be placed near the TV as it is magnetically shielded. However,  
depending on your TV (cathode ray tube), color variation may occur on the TV screen.  
If color variation occurs...  
Turn off the TV (from the power switch).  
After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.  
If the color variation is still present...  
Move the speakers further away from the TV.  
If a magnet or other magnetic source is positioned near the TV, the combined magnetic field with that of the  
speakers may cause color variation to occur on the TV screen.  
NOTE  
• The surround speakers and subwoofer are not magnetically shielded.  
• If the color variation is still present, you may need to have your TV inspected.

• When you connect the system to a SHARP TV with an HDMI cable only and the TV is turned on, the video output switches to  
HDMI automatically. (The above setting is unnecessary.)  
• When you connect the system to a TV with an HDMI cable, “HDMI Video Out” is set to “Auto”. If you don’t get a stable image,  
select the desired resolution*.  
When you set “HDMI Video Out” to a setting other than “Auto”, you can only select resolutions* that are compatible with the  
connected TV.  
* Refer to “HDMI Video Out” on page 68 regarding the resolutions of the HDMI video output.

Audio Settings and Operations  
Enjoying Multi-Channel Mode  
Audyssey Technology  
Audyssey EQ®  
Audyssey EQ is based on the same core technology as  
Audyssey MultEQ that is used for automatic correction of  
room acoustics. Audyssey EQ uses time-domain filters  
to correct problems that arise from speaker drivers and  
enclosures and is calibrated to account for the acoustical  
problems in a typical listening environment.  
When playing back Dolby Digital, DTS or other multi-  
channel audio signals, the system automatically selects  
the optimal decoder for the signal format and plays  
back the multi-channel audio signal.  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ®  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating  
sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account  
human perception and room acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic  
EQ works in tandem with Audyssey EQ to provide well-  
balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.  
This system is equipped with Dolby Pro Logic  
.
The Dolby Pro Logic function converts 2-channel  
sound to 5.1-channel surround sound for more a  
natural sound experience.  
Audyssey Dynamic VolumeTM  
Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large  
variations in volume level between television programs,  
commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of  
movies. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic  
Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted  
automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance,  
surround impression and dialog clarity remain the same.  
Press MULTI to change the multi-channel mode.  
Pressing MULTI changes the mode as follows.  
MULTI ON  
MULTI OFF  
MULTI ON: Plays back sound in 5.1-channel  
surround sound for a more realistic  
sound experience.  
Audyssey BassXTTM  
• When MULTI ON is selected,  
Audyssey BassXT enables low frequency drivers to produce  
deeper bass by intelligently monitoring incoming audio signals  
and extending driver performance to its maximum safe limits  
at all volume levels. This enables the system to produce lower  
frequencies than would be possible with a traditional system  
of the same size.  
“

Stereo sound is played back from the Sound bar  
speaker (left/right).  
Sound is also played back from the subwoofer.  
NOTE  
• With 5.1ch input, the sound cannot be played back in  
stereo sound.  
With 7.1ch input, the playback sound will be down-mixed

Linear PCM Sound  
Linear PCM is a signal recording format used for Audio  
CDs and on some DVD and Blu-ray discs. The sound  
on Audio CDs is recorded at 44.1 kHz with 16 bits.  
(Sound is recorded between 48 kHz with 16 bits and  
96 kHz with 24 bits on DVD video discs and between  
48 kHz with 16 bits and 192 kHz with 24 bits on BD  
video discs.)  
DVD video (pages 9, 45)  
A disc format that contains up to eight hours of  
moving pictures on a disc the same diameter as a CD.  
A single-layer single sided DVD holds up to 4.7 GB; a  
double layer single-sided DVD, 8.5 GB; a single layer  
double-sided DVD, 9.4 GB; double-layer double-sided  
DVD, 17 GB. The MPEG 2 format was adopted for  
efficient video data compression. It is a variable rate  
technology that encodes the data to according to the  
status of the video for reproducing high-quality images.  
Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format  
such as Dolby Digital, allowing for a realistic audio  
presence.

This function adjusts the audio signal processing time  
for better audio-video synchronization.  
MP3 (pages 9, 10, 51)  
MP3 files are audio data compressed in the MPEG1/2  
Audio layer-3 file format. “MP3 files” have “.mp3” as  
extensions.  
DVD+/-R (pages 9, 45)  
MPEG-2  
A DVD+/-R is a recordable, write-once DVD. Since  
contents can be recorded and cannot be overwritten,  
a DVD+/-R can be used to archive data or for storing  
and distributing video material. The DVD+/-R has  
two different formats: VR format and Video format.  
DVDs created in Video format have the same format  
as a DVD video, while discs created in VR (Video  
Recording) format allow the contents to be programed  
or edited.  
MPEG-2 (Moving Picture Experts Group phase 2) is  
one of the video data compression schemes, which  
is adopted for DVD videos and digital broadcasts  
worldwide. Some Blu-ray Discs also use high bitrate  
MPEG-2.  
Multi Angle (pages 57-59)  
This is a feature of DVD and BD video discs. In some  
discs, the same scene is shot from different angles,  
and these are stored in a single disc so you can enjoy  
playback from each angle. (This function can be  
enjoyed if the disc is recorded with multiple angles.)  
DVD+/-RW (pages 9, 45)  
A DVD+/-RW is a recordable and rewritable DVD. The  
re-recordable feature makes editing possible. The  
DVD+/-RW has two different formats: VR format and  
Video format. DVDs created in Video format have the  
same format as a DVD video, while discs created in  
VR (Video Recording) format allow the contents to be  
programed or edited.  
Multi Audio  
This is a feature of DVD and BD video discs. This  
function makes it possible to record different audio  
tracks for the same video, so you can enhance your  
enjoyment by switching the audio. (You can enjoy  
this function with discs recorded with multiple audio  
tracks.)  
HDMI (page 24)  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an  
interface that supports both video and audio on  
a single digital connection. The HDMI connection  
carries standard to high definition video signals  
and multi-channel audio signals to AV components  
such as HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without  
degradation.

Pan Scan (PS 4:3) (page 68)  
A screen size that cuts off the sides of the image  
to allow viewing of wide-screen (16:9) material on a  
connected 4:3 TV.

discs. When a disc contains two or more movies,  
these movies are numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.  
Pop-up menu (page 46)  
Top menu (page 46)  
An enhanced menu operation available on BD video  
discs. The pop-up menu appears when POP-UP  
MENU is pressed during playback, and can be  
operated while playback is in progress.  
In a BD/DVD video, this is the menu for selecting  
things like the chapter to be played back and the  
subtitle language. In some DVD videos, the top menu  
may be called the “Title Menu”.  
Progressive format  
Track number (pages 58, 59)  
These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are  
recorded on audio CDs. They enable specific tracks to  
be located quickly.  
Compared to the Interlace format that alternately  
shows every other line of an image (field) to create one  
frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image  
at once as a single frame. This means that while the  
Interlace format can show 30 frames/60 fields in one  
second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in  
one second. The overall picture quality increases and  
still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper.  
x.v.Color

before, showing almost all of the colors that the human  
eye can detect. (Applicable for JPEG files only with this  
system)  
Region code (page 9)

operating the system. There are three types of remote  
control signals: “Remote Control No. 1” (RC-1),  
“Remote Control No. 2” (RC-2) and “Remote Control  
No. 3” (RC-3).  
Resume playback (page 45)  
If you stop playback while it is in progress, the system  
stores the stop position in memory, and this function  
lets you playback from that point.

“Really Simple Syndication” / “Rich Site Summary” is a  
web feed formats used to publish frequently updated  
information in a scrolling text format from a web.

played, or skips to the next chapter (or track).  
Sound Mode (page 65)  
Select from among 10 preset sound modes to suit  
your listening preference.
