Getting Started  
Before Installation  
General Precautions  
• DO NOT insert any metal object into the center unit.  
• DO NOT disassemble the center unit or remove screws, covers, or  
cabinet.  
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control  
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.  
• When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at  
the remote sensor on the center unit.  
1. On the back of the remote control, remove the  
battery cover.  
• DO NOT expose the center unit to rain or moisture.  
Locations  
• Install the center unit in a location that is level and protected from  
moisture.  
• The temperature around the center unit must be between 5˚C and  
35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F).  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor  
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the center unit.  
Handling the center unit  
2. Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity:  
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).  
• DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.  
• DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When  
unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage  
the cord.  
• Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the  
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It  
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection,  
since it is well-shielded against interference.  
• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,  
the preset settings such as preset FM/AM channels and sound  
adjustments may be erased in a few days.  
3. Replace the cover.  
Checking the Supplied Accessories  
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories.  
The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces  
supplied.  
• Remote Control (1)  
• Batteries (2)  
• AM Loop Antenna (1)  
• FM Antenna (1)  
• Video cord (1)  
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace  
the batteries. Use two UM-4“AAA”/IEC “R03” type dry-cell  
batteries.  
CAUTION:  
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.  
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:  
Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity: (+)  
to (+) and () to ().  
Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may  
differ in voltage.  
Always replace both batteries at the same time.  
Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM 75 COAXIAL  
terminal as temporary measure.  
Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to the AM and H terminals.  
Turn the loop until you have the best reception.  
Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.  
• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna. Before attaching  
a 75 coaxial cable (with a standard type connector), disconnect  
the supplied FM antenna.  
• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire  
to the AM terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.)  
Note:  
If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove  
the vinyl by twisting it as shown in the diagram.  
About the cooling fan  
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the center unit to  
prevent abnormal temperature inside the center unit, thus assuring  
normal operation of the unit. The cooling fan automatically starts  
rotating to supply external cool air to the inside of the center unit  
when the internal temperature goes up.  
For safety, observe the following carefully.  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor  
ventilation could overheat and damage the center unit.  
• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or  
holes. (If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the  
heat may not be able to get out.)  
• DO NOT touch the speaker cords to the cooling fan.

When setting the speakers  
Connecting the Speakers  
To obtain the best possible sound from this system, you need to  
place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the same distance  
from the listening position with each front faced toward the listener.  
Since bass sound is non-directional, you can place a subwoofer  
wherever you like. Normally place it in front of you.  
Connect the satellite speakers, center speaker, and subwoofer to the  
terminals on the rear panel using speaker cords supplied.  
Labels are attached to the speaker cords to indicate the terminals to  
be connected.  
• Connect the red cord to the red (+) terminal, and the black cord to  
the black (–) terminal respectively.

speakers. For in-depth information about adjusting the delay time,  
see “Setting the Delay Time” on page 16 and 17.  
1 Press and hold the terminal clamp.  
2 Insert the speaker cord.  
Note:  
You can change the phase of subwoofer sounds by connecting the  
speaker cords to the terminals inverselythe red cord to the black  
terminal, and the black cord to the red terminal.You may get the more  
effective bass sounds by changing the phase.  
3 Release the finger from the clamp.  
Notes:  
If the speaker cord is covered with vinyl, remove the  
vinyl by twisting it as shown in the diagram.  
Make sure the core wire of speaker cords do not  
expose to out of the terminals. This could cause  
short-circuit.  
CAUTION:  
When attaching the satellite speakers on the wall, have them  
attached to the wall by a qualified person.  
DO NOT attach the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to  
avoid an unexpected damage of their falling from the wall, caused  
by incorrect attachment or weakness in the wall.  
Care is required in selecting a location for attaching speakers to the  
wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to equipment, may result if the  
speakers are attached in a location which interferes with daily  
activities.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields  
You can use the following surround to reproduce a realistic sound  
field.  
Digital Multichannel SurroundDolby Digital and DTS Digital  
Surround  
Dolby Surround  
DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes  
Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo  
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel,  
right front channel, center channel, and rear channel signals (total 4  
channels) into 2 channels.  
The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this system decodes these 2  
channel signals into original 4 channel signalsmatrix-based  
multichannel reproduction, and allows you to enjoy a realistic stereo  
sound in your listening room.  
I Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround  
To enjoy surround effectively, all the speakers need to be  
connected and activated.  
When one of Dolby Surround is selected, the PRO LOGIC indicator  
lights up on the display.  
Dolby Digital*  
Indications on the display for each surround  
Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software  
encoded with Dolby Digital (  
).  
Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital encoding method (so-called discrete 5.1 channel  
digital audio format) records and digitally compresses the left front  
channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear channel, right  
rear channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but LFE  
channel is counted as 0.1 channel. Therefore, called 5.1 channel).  
Since each channel is completely independent from the other  
channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much better  
sound quality with much stereo and surround effects.  
DTS Digital Surround  
In addition, Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds, and sets the  
cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz, compared to 7 kHz for  
Dolby Pro Logic. These facts enhance the sound movement and  
being-there feelings much more than Dolby Pro Logic.  
Dolby Pro Logic  
When the system detects Dolby Digital signals, the DOLBY  
DIGITAL indicator lights up on the display.  
DTS Digital Surround**  
Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software  
Dolby 3 Stereo  
encoded with DTS Digital Surround (  
).  
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio  
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.  
Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate is relatively low.  
This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and  
depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital Surround  
features natural, solid and clear sound.  
DSP*  
When the system detects DTS Digital Surround signals, the DTS  
indicator lights up on the display.  
* When you select FM/AM or AUX as the source, the Linear  
PCM indicator (  
) does not light up.  
According to the speaker settings, some speaker indicators do  
not light up. In this case, set the speaker setting appropriately.  
I Dolby Surround*  
Used to reproduce sound tracks of the VCR tapes encoded with  
DOLBY SURROUND  
Dolby Surround (  
).  
This is only used for the sound sources coming through the AUX IN  
jacks.

To check the speaker connections and settings using the test  
tone  
1. Select and play a DVD encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS  
Digital Surround.  
The sound heard in a theater, a hall, a live club, or a dance club  
consists of direct sound and indirect soundearly reflections and  
reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly  
without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are  
delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls.  
TEST  
2. Press TEST on the remote control.  
The test tone comes out from the speakers (except  
subwoofer) in the order.  
If there is a speaker from which no sounds comes out, check  
the speakers connection (see pages 6 and 7.)  
These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic  
surround effects.  
3. Press TEST again to stop the test tone.  
The following DSP modes are provided with this unit.  
THEATER  
HALL  
: Gives the feeling of a theater.  
: Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert  
hall.  
LIVE CLUB  
: Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low  
ceiling.  
DANCE CLUB : Gives a throbbing bass beat.  
These DSP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround effects  
while reproducing stereo analog software or Linear PCM digital  
software, and can give you a real being therefeeling.  
When one of the DSP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights up  
on the display.

Example 2 : Video CD/Audio CD  
On some DVD or VCD/SVCD discs, their actual operations  
may be different from what is explained in this manual. This is  
due to the disc programming and disc structure, but not a  
malfunction of this system.  
The following discs cannot be played back:  
DVD-Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R,  
DVD-RW, CD-ROM, CD-I, (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.  
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the  
speakers.  
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW  
User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be  
played back only if they are already finalized.”  
The system can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a  
personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD  
format or recorded in MP3 format (see page 40).  
However, they may not be played back depending on their  
characteristics or recording conditions.  
* Note on Region Code  
DVD players and DVD Video discs have their own Region Code  
numbers. This system only can play back DVD discs whose Region  
Code numbers include 2.”  
Examples:  
Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or  
cautions carefully.  
Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit  
because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if  
the built-in lens is dirty.  
CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the  
fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.  
If a DVD with the inadequate Region Code numbers is loaded,  
REGION ERRappears on the display and playback cannot  
start.  
IMPORTANT: Before performing any operations, make sure of  
the following....  
Check the connection with the TV.  
Turn on the TV and select the correct input on the TV to view the  
pictures or on-screen indications on the TV screen.  
For DVD playback, you can change the Setup menu setting to  
your preference. (See pages 50 to 53.)

TV/VIDEO DISPLAY  
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG)  
Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression  
ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*). That means, by using MP3 format, one  
CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a  
regular CD can.

* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of audio data  
will consume. The measuring unit used is Kbps (1000 bits per  
second).  
To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The most  
popular bit rate for encoding (recording) is 128 Kbps.

MP3 files (tracks)can be recorded in directories (or folders),in  
PC terminology.  
During recording, the files and directories can be arranged in a way  
similar to arranging files and folder/directories of computer data.  
Rootis similar to the root of a tree. Every file and directory can be  
linked to the root.  
In compliance with ISO 9660, the maximum allowable depth of  
nested directoriesso-called hierarchy”—is eight (inclusive of the  
root).  
For in-depth information about a disc to be played back, see  
Disc IntroductionDVD/VCD/CDon page 25.  
Playback order, files search order, and directory search order of the  
MP3 files recorded on a disc are determined by the writing (or  
encoding) application; therefore, playback order may be different  
from the one you have intended while recording the folders/  
directories and the files.  
Note on MP3 discs  
MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time.  
(It differs due to the complexity of the directory/file configuration.)

names, as well as information about what type of program they  
broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.  
Note:  
If searching finishes at once, PS NAME,” “RT,and CTwill not
