Helpful Hints:  
Step 1: Placing the speakers  
– The placement diagram shown here is only  
a guideline that will provide great system  
performance. You may find other placement  
choices that are more suitable for your room  
layout and provide the sound experience you  
enjoy.  
This Home Theater System is simple to  
install. However, proper system  
placement is critical to ensure an  
optimum sound experience.  
– To avoid magnetic interference, do not  
position the front speakers too close to your  
TV.  
– The rear speakers are labeled as REAR  
LEFT or REAR RIGHT.  
A Place the front left and right speakers at  
equal distances from the TV and at an  
angle of approximately 45 degrees from  
the listening position.  
– The front speakers are labeled as  
FRONT LEFT or FRONT RIGHT.  
B Place the center speaker above the TV or  
the DVD system so that the center  
channel’s sound is localized.  
C Place the rear speakers at normal  
listening ear level facing each other or  
hang on the wall.  
D Place the subwoofer at the corner of the  
room. Keep at least one meter away  
from the TV.  
TIPS: Before making or changing any connections, make sure that all the devices are disconnected  
from the power outlet.

Glossary  
Analog: Sound that has not been turned  
into numbers. Analog sound varies, while  
digital sound has specific numerical values.  
These jacks send audio through two  
channels, the left and right.  
JPEG: A very common digital still picture  
format. A still picture data compression  
system proposed by the Joint Photographic  
Expert Group, which features a small  
decrease in image quality in spite of its high  
compression ratio.  
Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and  
horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The  
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional  
TVs is 4:3, and that of wide-screens is 16:9.  
MP3: A file format with a sound data  
compression system. “MP3” is the  
abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts  
Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer3. By  
using the MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW  
can contain about 10 times more data than a  
regular CD.  
Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold  
a given length of music; measured in kilobits  
per second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which  
you record. Generally, the higher the bit  
rate, or the higher the recording speed, the  
better the sound quality. However, higher bit  
rates use more space on a disc.  
Multi-channel: DVDs are formatted to  
have each sound track constitute one sound  
field. Multi-channel refers to a structure of  
sound tracks having three or more channels.  
Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music  
piece on a DVD that are smaller than titles.  
A title is composed of several chapters. Each  
chapter is assigned a chapter number

enabling you to locate the chapter you want.  
Disc menu: A screen display prepared for  
allowing a selection of images, sounds,  
subtitles, multi-angles, etc to be recorded on  
a DVD.  
Region code: A system allowing discs to be  
played only in the region designated. This

Dolby Digital: A surround sound system  
developed by Dolby Laboratories containing

and right, surround left and right, center and  
subwoofer).  
Surround: A system for creating realistic  
three dimensional sound fields full of realism  
by arranging multiple speakers around the  
listener.  
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II: It is an  
improved matrix decoding technology that  
provides better spatiality and directionality on  
Dolby Surround program material, provides a  
convincing three dimensional sound field on  
conventional stereo music recordings and is  
ideally suited to bring the surround experience  
to automotive sound. While conventional  
surround programming is fully compatible with  
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II decoders, sound  
tracks will be able to be encoded specifically to  
take full advantage of Pro Logic II playback,  
including separate left and right surround  
channels. (Such material is also compatible with  
conventional Pro Logic decoders).  
Title: The longest section of a movie or  
music feature on DVD. Each title is assigned  
a title number, enabling you to locate the
