speaker  
(Right)  
Centre speaker  
The centre speakers and front speakers are ideally  
the same height. But normally place it above or below  
the television.  
Subwoofer  
Rear speakers  
Center speaker  
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 rear 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 rear 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 rear speakers opposite  
each other, and set the rear speakers above 60 - 90  
cm than the listener’s ears.  
Front speaker

Setting the sound mode  
VSM (VIRTUAL SOUND MATRIX) and Dolby Pro Logic II  
DRC (Dynamic Range Control) – Make the sound clear when the volume is  
turned down (Dolby Digital only). Set to [On] for this effect.  
You can select the Dolby Pro Logic II or Virtual sound. Press VSM to set the  
virtual sound or to change sound mode repeatedly.  
Vocal – Select [On] to mix karaoke channels into normal stereo. This function  
is effective for multi-channel karaoke DVDs only.  
[BYPASS] mode : Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played  
according to the way it was recorded.  
HD AV Sync - Sometimes Digital TV encounters a delay between picture and  
sound. If this happens you can compensate by setting a delay on the sound so  
that it effectively ‘waits’ for the picture to arrive: this is called HD AV Sync. Use vV  
to scroll up and down through the delay amount, which you can set at anything  
between 0 and 300m sec.  
2Ch source  
[PL II MOVIE] mode: The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows  
and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced sound  
field directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.  
[PL II MUSIC] mode: The Music mode is for use with any stereo music  
recordings.  
[PL II 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.” The 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.  
The delay will vary depending on which digital TV channel you are on. If you  
change channel you may need to readjust the HD AV Sync.
