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.
• 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
antennas. 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)
• Speaker cords
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace
the batteries. Use two R6P (SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell
batteries.
6 m (4)*: For left front speaker, right front speaker, center
speaker, and subwoofer
CAUTION:
10 m (2)*: For left rear speaker and right rear speaker
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.
* The lengths of the speaker cords above are approximate.
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

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 less-directional, but normally place it in
between right and left front speaker shown as below.
Connect the satellite speakers and subwoofer to the terminals on the
rear panel using speaker cords supplied.
Color labels are attached to the speaker cords to indicate the speaker
and the terminal to which each is to be connected.
• The five satellite speakers can be used for any positions—center,
front left and right, and rear left and right.
Subwoofer
Center speaker
• Connect the color labeled cord to the color (+) terminal, and the
other cord to the black (–) terminal respectively.

If your speakers cannot be placed at the same distance from the
listening position
You can adjust the delay time of the center speaker and rear
speakers. For in-depth information about adjusting the delay time,
see “Setting Menu” on pages 53 and 54.
1 Open the terminal clamp.
2 Insert the speaker cord.
3 Close the clamp.
Note:
Subwoofer phase is closely related with the distance from the
listening position to the front speakers and subwoofer.You can change
the phase to obtain better bass sound by connecting the speaker
cords to the terminals of the subwoofer inversely—the color labeled
cord to the black terminal, and the black cord to the color terminal.
Notes:
CAUTION:
• 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.
• 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.

About scanning system
4 Press CHOICE.
The conventional scanning method to display video signals on
the TV screen is called “Interlaced scanning.” With this method,
only half of the horizontal lines (called a “field”) are displayed
at a time. So two fields complete a single picture (frame); i.e.,
the first field, containing all the odd-numbered lines, is followed
by the second field, containing all the even-numbered lines.
On the other hand, the Progressive scanning system scans all
horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the number of
scanning lines displayed at a time, resulting in a flicker-free,
high-density picture.
Video Enhance menu disappears.
CHOICE
Note:
If you turn off the unit, the video enhance setting return to initial
setting.
To enjoy the progressive scanned picture, a monitor (or TV or
projector) connected to the system must support the progressive
video inputs.
Depending on the material source format, DVD video can be
classified into two types; film source and video source (note that
some DVD video contain both film source and video source).
Film sources are recorded as 24-frame-per-second data, while
(NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-
field-per-second interlaced).
When this system plays back a film source data, uninterlaced
progressive output signals are created using the original data.
When a video source is played back, the unit interleaves lines
between the interlaced lines to create the pseudo uninterlaced
picture and outputs as the progressive signals.

• DTS Digital Surround
• DSP modes
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.
7 Dolby Surround
Dolby Pro Logic II*
When the system detects DTS Digital Surround signals, the
indicator lights up on the display.
Dolby Pro Logic II has newly developed multichannel playback
format to decode the 2 channel sources—stereo analog source,
Linear PCM digital source, and Dolby Surround encoded source—
into 5.1 channel.
Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II
makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the rear treble and
enables stereo rear sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro
Logic.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields
I DSP (Digital Signal Processor) Modes
DSP modes have been designed to create important acoustic
surround elements.
Activating the Surround Mode
You can enjoy three kinds of surround—Digital Multichannel
Surround (Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround), Dolby Pro
Logic II and DSP modes.
• If you activate the surround mode not available, “INVALID”
appears on the display.
The sound heard in a live house, a hall, a concert, a stadium, or a
theater consists of direct sound and indirect sound—early 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.
These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic
surround effects.
For Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround
When playback source is encoded with Dolby Digital or DTS
Digital Surround, the system detects it and activate Multichannel
Surround automatically.
The following DSP modes are provided with this unit.

Disc structure—DVD,Video CD (VCD/SVCD) andAudio CD (CD)
A DVD disc consists of Titles, and each title may be divided into
some Chapters. (See Example 1.)
For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may
have its own title number, and it may be further divided into some
chapters.
On the other hand, a VCD/SVCD or CD consists of Tracks. (See
Example 2.)
In general, each song has its own track number. (On some discs,
each track may also be divided by Indexes.)

the functions such as Repeat and Track Search may not work.)
Audio
CD
DIGITAL AUDIO
CD-R
Example 1: DVD disc
CD-RW
• 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.
• DVD-R discs recorded with the DVD VIDEO format can be
played back. However, some discs may not be played back
because of the disc characteristics or recording conditions.
Note that unfinalized disc cannot be played back.
• The following discs cannot be played back:
Example 2 : Video CD/Audio CD
– DVD-Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW,
DVD+RW, CD-ROM, CD-I, (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
* 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 “4.”
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).
Examples:
However, they may not be played back depending on their
characteristics or recording conditions.
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or
cautions carefully.
If a DVD with the inadequate Region Code numbers is loaded,
“Invalid Region” appears on the TV and playback cannot start.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit
because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them.
• 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.

MP3 Playback
This system is incorporated with an MP3 decoder. You can playback
MP3 tracks (files) recorded on CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-ROMs.
• Notice that “files” and “tracks” are used interchangeably.

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.

• This system can only read MP3 files that are recorded in the
format that is compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2.
• The system can play MP3 files only with the following file
extensions: “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”
• This unit can show ID3v1* tags on the TV-screen.
* An MP3 file can contain file information called “ID3 Tag” where
its album name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded. There are
two versions—ID3v1 (ID3 Tag version 1) and ID3v2 (ID3 Tag
version 2).

Disc structure—How are MP3 files recorded
and played back?
“MP3 files (tracks)” can be recorded in “folders,” in PC
terminology.
: Indicates folders
: Indicates files (tracks)
During recording, the files and folders can be arranged in a way
similar to arranging files and folders of computer data.
“Root” is 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 folders—so-called “hierarchy”—is eight (inclusive of the
root).
Playback order, files search order, and folder 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 and the
files.
NOTES for MP3 disc
• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time.
(It differs due to the complexity of the folder/file configuration.)
• When an MP3 disc is loaded, you cannot adjust the subwoofer
output level.
