ABOUT YOUR DVD PLAYER  
MP3 FUNCTION  
The following will help you get the most enjoyment from your DVD receiver system.  
OPERATION OF MP3 FUNCTION  
BEST LOCATION  
Mp3 is an audio compression mode using Level 3 of the international standard MPEG, whereby sound  
signal is compressed at a rate of 12:1. A Mp3 disc can record music for playing over 600 minutes or  
recording over 170 songs, rivaling CDs in sound quality.  
The unit should be placed on a firm, flat surface, away from VCRs, stereos, radios, or large  
speakers, as the magnetic flux from these devices may cause distortion in the sound and a poor  
picture. If placed in a cabinet, be sure there is at least "1" of free space completely around the unit  
for proper ventilation.  
To play a MP3 disc  
TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE  
A DVD receiver is a precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts become dirty  
or worn down, picture quality will become poor. Store DVD player in a clean dust free environment.

enjoy different DVD, CD, and Mp3 discs.  
ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT  
Speaker system plug-and-play convenience through the built-in six-channel power amplifier  
eliminates the use of an external power amplifier.  
LASER-HEAD OVER-CURRENT  
PROTECTION SYSTEM  
To extend the service life of the laser head, the unit includes a unique laser-head over-current  
protection system, ensuring a constant laser current.

ARRANGEMENT OF SPEAKERS  
SYSTEM SETUP  
The ideal surround sound speaker configur-  
ation may vary according to room size and wall  
material. The figure below illustrates a typical  
arrangement.  
The configuration and arrangement of a  
surround sound system's speakers is critical.  
For maximum listening enjoyment, refer to the  
Arrangement of Speakers section in this manual  
prior to connecting speakers.  
SETUP  
Hints:  
In stop mode, press SETUP, and the TV screen will display the Setup  
Menu as follows:  
Front or main speakers and central speaker  
should be placed at the same level and in a way  
that sound is oriented toward the listener's ears.  
3D surround sound or rear speakers should  
be placed 3' higher than the height of listener's  
ears.  
Subwoofer speaker may be placed anywhere  
within the room, as its location produces little  
effect on a listener's sensation to sound. To  
obtain the optimum bass effect, a subwoofer is  
recommended in home theater systems.  
Surround Sound Speakers  
Front or main right and left speakers;  
center speaker  
These three speakers provide extensive  
sound imaging and augment the dynamic effect  
of the audio. A movie's principal dialogue comes  
through these speakers.  
Press

Rear or surround sound speakers  
These two speakers provide 3-D dynamic  
sound effects, and create an enveloping  
atmosphere, as they add background sounds.
