Connections

Without Cable Box

ips

If your cable wire is connected to your TV without a converter

or descrambler box, unscrew the wire from your TV and attach

it to the ANT.IN jack on the DVD/VCR Receiver. Use the sup-

plied round coaxial cable to connect between the DVD/VCR

Receiver’s RF.OUT jack and the 75 ohm antenna input jack on

the TV. With this connection, you can receive all midband,

super band, and hyperband channels (all cable channels).

ꢀ

Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to

connect, there are various ways you could connect the

DVD/VCR Receiver. Use connections described on pages

11-14.

Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo

System or other devices as necessary to make the best

connections.

With Cable Box

If a converter is required in your cable system, follow the

instruction below:

The cable hookup permits both TV and DVD/VCR Receiver

operation.

To view or record a CATV channel

1 Tune the TV to the DVD/VCR Receiver output channel (CH

3 or 4).

2 Set the DVD/VCR Receiver channel selector to the output

channel of the Cable Converter box using CH/TRK (v/V) or

number (0-9) of your DVD/VCR Receiver. (Example: CH3)

3 Select the channel to view at the Cable Converter Box.

Caution

ꢀ

Make sure the DVD/VCR Receiver is connected directly to

the TV. Tune the TV to the correct video input channel.

Do not connect the DVD/VCR Receiver’s DVD/VCR AUDIO

OUT jack to the phono in jack (record deck) of your audio

system.

Do not connect your DVD/VCR Receiver via your VCR. The

DVD image could be distorted by the copy protection sys-

tem.

Connections (Continued)

Speaker System Connections

Speaker Positioning

For a normal setup use 6 speakers (2 front speakers,

center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer).

Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker wire

by matching the colors of the terminals and those of the

wires. To obtain the best possible surround sound,

adjust the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.).

• Front Speakers

Based on your listening position, set up the speakers

at equal distance. And by hearing position, set up an

interval between speakers of 45 degree.

otes

ꢀ Be sure to match the speaker wire to the appropriate

terminal on the components: 3 to 3 and # to #. If

the wires are reversed, the sound will be distorted

and lack bass.

ꢀ The front speakers have a low maximum input rating,

adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive volume

output to the speakers.

• Center Speaker

It is ideal if the center speaker and front speakers are

at the same height. But normally place the center

speaker above or below the television as shown

below.

• Rear Speakers

Place the rear surround speakers to the left and right

behind the primary listening area. These speakers

recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for

surround playback. For best results, do not install the

rear speakers too far behind the listening position,

install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears.

It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards

a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.

For smaller room sizes, if the audience is near the

rear wall, set the rear speakers opposite each other

60 - 90 cm (23.6 - 35.4 inch) above the listener’s

ears.

Sound Mode Setup and Descriptions

Mini Glossary for Audio Stream & Sound Mode

Surround 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.

(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.

Press SOUND MODE repeatedly until the sound mode

you want appears in the display window, see below.

Each time you press SOUND MODE, the sound mode is

changed in the following order;

BYPASS → PRO LOGIC → MOVIE → MUSIC → MATRIX →

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 “

improved dynamic range.

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

Each time you press the AUDIO button, the DVD’s sound

mode is changed in the following order;

Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel

of being in a movie theater 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.

For your reference

•

The DVD/VCR Receiver memorizes the last mode

settings for each source individually.

You can identify the encoding format of program

software by looking at its packaging.

(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.

- Dolby Digital discs are labeled with the

the logo.

logo.

MOVIE mode:

- DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with DTS.

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.

ote

When you play sound tracks with 96kHz sampling frequency,

the output signals will be converted to 48kHz (sampling

frequency).

MUSIC mode:

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and

provides a wide and deep sound space. Music mode includes

controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual listening

tastes.

Volume Control

MATRIX mode:

The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the

directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to

enhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” Matrix

mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations

from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing

surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate “cure” for

poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to

mono.

You can adjust the sound by rotating VOLUME on the

front panel or by pressing VOLUME (+/–) on the remote

control repeatedly.

Muting

Press MUTING to turn off the sound.

You can mute your unit in order, for example, to answer

the telephone, “MUTING” indicator appears in the dis-

play window. To exit mute mode, press MUTING again.

3D SURROUND

This unit can produce a 3D Surround ef fect, using 3D Surround

Sound technology, which simulates multi-channel audio play-

back from two conventional stereo speakers instead of the five

or more speakers normally required to listen to multi-channel

audio from a home theater. This feature works with DVD discs

encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital audio tracks.

MP3 Recording Notes

About MP3

MP3

ꢀ An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the

MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call

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

ꢀ The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file

extension other than “.mp3”.

The DVD/VCR Receiver can play MP3 formatted

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

Before playing MP3 recordings, read the notes on MP3

Recordings on right.

Insert a disc and close the tray.

Audio CD: Audio CD menu appears on the TV

screen go to step 4.

MP3 disc: The MP3/JPEG menu appears on the

TV screen. Go to step 2

MP3 Disc compatibility with this player is limit-

ed as follows:

1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz.

2. Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps.

MP3

3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”

4. If you record MP3 files using the software which

cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-

CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We

recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which

creates an ISO9660 file system.

MEMORY/ENTER.

The MP3 menu appears on the TV screen.

Press RETURN to go to the MP3/JPEG menu.

5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first

track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it can-

not playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3

files, format all the data in the disc or use a new

one.

6. File names should be named using 8 letters or less

and must incorporate “.mp3” extension

e.g. “********.MP3”.
