step  
1
Positioning  
This unit comes equipped with a Dolby Virtual Speaker circuit installed. Using just the supplied speakers and the subwoofer, and by reproducing  
acoustic effects very similar to 5.1ch surround, you can enjoy a true “home theater” experience even within a limited space.  
p
t
e
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points:  
Place speakers on flat secure bases.  
S
le  
Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.  
mp  
Si  
]Note]  
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system for proper ventilation.  
Setup example  
Subwoofer  
Front speakers  
Left and right speakers are  
interchangeable.  
60º  
To avoid damage to the  
speakers, do not touch the  
speaker cones if you have  
taken the nets off.  
Place to the right or left of  
the television, on the floor  
or a sturdy shelf so that it  
will not cause vibration.  
Leave about 30 cm  
(1113/16q) from the television.  
Main unit  
E E
UN
To allow for proper ventilation and to  
maintain good airflow around the main  
unit, position it with at least 5 cm (2q) of  
space on all sides.  
Notes on speaker use  
Use only supplied speakers  
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be  
negatively affected.  
You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play  
sound at high levels over extended periods.  
If irregular coloring occurs on your television  
The front speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the  
picture may be affected with some televisions and setup combinations.  
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.  
The demagnetizing function of the television should correct the problem.  
If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.  
Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage:  
– When playing distorted sound.  
– When the speakers are reverberating due to a record player, noise  
from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator, test  
disc, or electronic instrument.  
Caution  
The main unit and supplied speakers are to be  
used only as indicated in this setup. Failure to  
do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/  
or the speakers, and may result in the risk of  
fire. Consult a qualified service person if  
damage has occurred or if you experience a  
sudden change in performance.  
– When adjusting the sound quality.  
– When turning the unit on or off.  
Caution  
Do not attempt to attach the speakers to walls  
or ceilings.  
Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides.

– Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart shapes.  
Note about using a DualDisc  
The digital audio content side of a DualDisc does not meet the  
technical specifications of the Compact Disc Digital Audio

Regarding DVD-Audio  
Some 5.1 channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing (page 37, Glossary) of all or part of their contents if this is the manufacturer’s intention.  
When playing such discs, or such parts of the disc, unless the number of connected speakers is the same as the disc’s channel specification, audio  
will not be output properly (e.g., part of the audio is missing, 5.1 channel sound cannot be selected and audio is played in two channels). Refer to the  
disc’s jacket for more information.  
Maintenance  
To clean discs  
Clean this unit with a soft, dry cloth.  
Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.  
Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the instructions that  
came with the cloth.  
Wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.  
DO NOT  
DO  
Do not use commercially available lens cleaners as they may cause  
malfunction. Cleaning of the lens is generally not necessary although  
this depends on the operating environment.  
Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty. Failure to  
do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the unit.

Glossary  
CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media)  
A copy protection system used for DVD-Audio files. This unit supports  
CPPM.  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)  
HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic products.  
Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video  
and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports high-definition video  
output (720p, 1080i, 1080p) from the HDMI AV OUT terminal. To enjoy high-  
definition video, a high-definition compatible television is required.  
Decoder  
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is  
called decoding.  
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)  
Dolby Digital  
This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. The  
benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the  
degree of compression.  
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby  
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also  
be 5.1-channel sound.  
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)  
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.  
Down-mixing  
This is a process of remixing the 5.1-channel audio (surround sound) on  
some discs into two channels. When you want to listen to the audio on a  
DVD with a 5.1 channel digital surround track through your television  
speakers, the down-mixed audio will be output.  
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)  
An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately  
one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality.  
Some DVD-Audio prevent down-mixing of all or part of their contents.  
When playing such discs, or such parts of the disc, unless the number of  
connected speakers is the same as the disc’s channel specification, audio  
will not be output properly.  
Playback control (PBC)  
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and  
information with menus.  
Progressive/Interlaced  
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)  
NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines,  
whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This  
is called 480p.  
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video  
recorded on media such as DVD-Video.  
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world.  
There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects  
are possible.  
Dynamic range  
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that  
can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of  
sound before distortion occurs.  
Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.  
Sampling frequency  
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog  
signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding).  
Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger  
numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.  
Frame still and field still  
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture.  
There are about 30 frames shown each second.  
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these  
fields one after the other to create frames.  
WMA (Windows MediaTM Audio)  
WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It  
achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller  
than that of MP3.  
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up  
of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall  
quality is high.  
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still  
so picture quality is lower.
