menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling

you to locate the scene you want.

Notes on DVDs and Video CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs may

be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers. As this

unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to disc con-

tent designed by the software manufacturer, some play-

back features of the unit may not be available or other

functions may be added.

Make sure to also refer to the instructions supplied with

the DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for busi-

ness purposes may not be able to be played on the unit.

A scene is composed of one or several tracks.

File

Types of video CDs

Regional code of the DVD Receiver and DVDs

This DVD Receiver is designed and manufactured for

playback of region “4” encoded DVD software.

The region code on the labels of some DVDs

indicates which type of player can play those

discs. This unit can only play DVDs labeled “4”

or “ALL”. If you try to play any other discs, the message

“Check Regional Code” will appear on the TV screen.

Some DVDs that have no region code label may still be

subject to area restrictions and therefore not playable.

There are two types of video CDs:

Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)

PBC (Playback control) functions allow you to interact

with the system via menus, search functions, or other

typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures

of high resolution can be played if they are included in

the disc.

Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)

Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs

allow playback of video pictures as well as sound, but

they are not equipped with PBC.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

SPENT OR DISCHARGED BATTERIES MUST BE

RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF IN A SAFE MANNER IN

COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS.

COUNTY SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY.

Before Use (Continued)

Precautions

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case.

Handling the unit

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of

heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun-

light, as there may be a considerable temperature

increase inside the car.

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials may

come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the

unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

Cleaning discs

When setting up the unit

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can distort the picture

or reduce sound quality. Before playing, clean the disc

with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out-

wards.

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio

may be disturbed during playback. In this case, position

the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the

unit after removing the disc.

To keep the exterior surfaces clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,

near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in

contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will

leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,

thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for vinyl records.

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty,

use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent

solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol,

benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface

of the unit.

This system can only play back a standard circular disc.

Using neither standard nor circular discs (e.g., card,

heart, or star shape) may cause a malfunction.

To obtain a clear picture

Do not use a disc that has a commercially available

accessory attached, such as a label or ring.

The DVD Receiver is a high-tech, precision device. If the

optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or

worn, the picture quality will be poor.

Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended

after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the

operating environment.)

Speaker Positioning

In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front speakers, centre speaker, 2 surround speakers and

subwoofer).

• Front speakers

According to your listening position set up the speakers for equal distance. And by hearing position set up the interval between

speakers to 45 degree.

• Centre speaker

The centre speakers and front speakers are ideally the same height. But normally place it above or below the television.

• Surround speakers

Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround

sound playback. For best results, do not install the surround speakers too far behind the listening position and install them at or

above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective to direct the surround speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further

disperse the sound.

In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall set the surround speakers opposite each other, and

set the surround speakers above 60 - 90 cm than the listener’s ears.

• Subwoofer

This can be placed in any front position.

Mini Glossary for Audio Stream & Sound Mode

You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one

of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the

program you want to listen to.

Surround mode

DTS

Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality

digital audio from DTS program sources such as discs, DVD

and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark. DTS Digital

Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio(which

means identical to the original masters) and results in excep-

tional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. The

term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC.

Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.

A) By pressing MODE button

Each time you press MODE button, the sound mode is

changed in the following order;

FLAT → ROCK → POP → JAZZ → CLASSIC → NEWS →

LINK → FLAT ...

Tips

ꢀ FLAT: Linear frequency response.

ꢀ ROCK: Reproduces the acoustics of rock music.

ꢀ POP: Reproduces the acoustics of pop music.

ꢀ JAZZ: Reproduces the acoustics of a jazz club.

DOLBY DIGITAL

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1

channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital pro-

gram source. If you play DVDs with “

” mark, you can enjoy

even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and

improved dynamic range.

ꢀ

CLASSIC: Reproduces the acoustics of orchestral

music.

ꢀ NEWS: Reproduces the acoustics of TV news sound.

ꢀ LINK: Reproduces the same sound from the front

speaker (L/R) and surround speaker (L/R).

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel

which carries the “

” mark. This mode provides the effect

(This function available 2-channel mode only)

of being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an effect with

an intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO

LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/right

movement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed

position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynam-

ic than before.

B) By pressing AUTO FORMAT DIRECT button

Each time you press AUTO FORMAT DIRECT button,

the sound mode is changed in the following order;

A.F.D. AUTO → DOLBY PL → PLII MOVIE → PLII MUSIC →

A.F.D. AUTO ...

(This function available 2-channel mode only)

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels

from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced,

high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial

properties of the original recording without adding any new

sounds or tonal colorations.

Notes

ꢀ MP3 disc is not available.

ꢀ This function is available during only playback mode.

ꢀ Sound Mode is not applicable when headphone is used.

PLII MOVIE mode:

When DVD is inserted.

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all

programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced

soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete

5.1-channel sound.

PLII MUSIC mode:

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings.

You can change the sound mode of DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS,

PRO LOGIC, etc) by pressing the AUDIO button on the remote

during playback.

Although the DVD contents differ from disc to disc, the follow-

ing explains the basic operation when this feature is used.

Each time you press AUDIO button, the sound mode of DVD is

changed as the following order;

A.F.D. AUTO

Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played

according to the way it was recorded.

Notes

ꢀ This function is available during only playback mode.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With the DVD*¹format, you can hear a program’s

soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presenta-

tion possible, thanks to digital audio technology.

However, you may wish to compress the dynamic range

of the audio output (the difference between the loudest

sounds and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to

a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of

sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.

files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.

ꢀ The DVD Receiver can not read an MP3 file that has

a file extension other than “.mp3”.

The DVD Receiver can play MP3 formatted recordings

on CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs.
