Place on the left and right of the TV at seated ear height so that there is good coherency between the picture and sound.

Center speaker

Place underneath or above the center of the TV. Aim the speaker at the seating area.

Surround speakers

Place on the side of or slightly behind the listening position, about one meter higher than ear level.

Subwoofer

The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a reasonable distance from the TV.

Note that some experimentation can yield the smoothest low frequency performance. Placement near a corner can increase the apparent output level, but can result in unnatural bass.

Connecting speakers

Other connections are possible depending on your speaker system.

See your speaker system’s operating instructions for details.

In SIZE

Set the type (LARGE or SMALL) and presence (NONE, YES or

NO) of your speakers. Select “LARGE” if the speakers can produce bass (below around 100 Hz). Select “SMALL” if the speakers cannot produce bass. Select “NONE” if center and surround speakers aren’t connected. Select “NO” if a subwoofer isn’t connected. The sound for those speakers is then produced through the front speakers.

In DISTANCE

Enter the distance of front, center surround speakers from the listening position so the sound from the speakers reaches the listening position at the same time. The unit calculates the delay time for the center and surround speakers based on these distances.

In FILTER

Enter the cutoff frequency for your subwoofer based on the bass capability of your front speakers

DSP sound modes

This unit’s digital signal processor (DSP) has the following three modes–STEREO, SURROUND and SFC.

A

STEREO mode

Use this mode when you want to listen to stereo sources, whether they are digital or analogue, or when you want to play Dolby

Digital or DTS sources through two channels. The sounds usually fed through the other speakers are down-mixed so they are output through the left and right front speakers. There may be some change in the overall sound when surround sources are downmixed.

B

SURROUND mode

By selecting this mode while digital input is being used, the unit automatically determines the kind of digital source being used

(Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround, or DTS), and processes it accordingly. Select this mode also when you are playing an analogue source, VCR for example, that has been recorded in

Dolby Surround.

Software with the following marks can be played back in this mode.

RDS broadcasts


RDS (Radio data system) is a multiplex broadcasting system.

Along with the audio signals of FM broadcasts, text information and other signals are transmitted to help you enjoy radio more and make tuning into programs easier. This unit can use the following types of signals.

¡

PS (Program service):

The name of the station can be displayed.

¡

PTY (Program type):

The type of program can be displayed. This signal can also be used to search for a type of program ( a

page 33). See page 35 for more information about the PTY displays.

¡

EON (Enhanced other networks):

This signal is used between networked stations to make it easier for listeners to tune into a type of program ( a

page 34).

¡

RT (Radio text):

This is text transmitted by the station. This unit can show a maximum of 64 characters by scrolling it across the screen. The text could be information about the song playing, traffic and weather reports, phone-in numbers, or police information.

Some areas currently do not have PTY, EON, and RT.

To display RDS information

The display normally shows the radio frequency. When the “RDS” indicator lights, the station is broadcasting RDS signals.

¡

Confirm the plug is fully inserted.

¡

Turn on the speaker indicators.

¡

Press the tape monitor button.

¡

Press the muting button on the remote control.

Incomplete or incorrect connection to speakers and external equipment.

¡

Check all connections.

The incorrect input source has been selected.

¡

Select the correct source.

Digital signals this unit cannot decode are being played.

¡

Either have the player convert the signals so this unit can handle them or switch to

ANALOG input.

Cannot play CD, DVD, or

TV.

The DIGITAL input mode is set to DIGITAL or ANALOG.

¡

Change the setting to suit the type of connection you have made.

Nothing appears on the display.

VGCA is ON.

¡

Nothing appears on the display while

VGCA is on. To turn the display on, press and hold [VGCA].

The display is dim.

The dimmer is on.

Connection is incorrect.

The television’s input mode is incorrect.

¡

Press [DIMMER] to restore the display to normal.

¡

Check and correct connections.

¡

Change the input mode to suit the connections between this unit and the television.

Sound suddenly stops or none is heard when the unit is switched on.

“OVERLOAD” appears on the display.

The protection circuitry has functioned because: the positive and negative speaker wires have shorted; speakers with a lower impedance than this unit’s rated impedance are being used; the speakers are under strain through excessive volume, excessive power, or by being used in a high temperature environment.

¡

Switch off the unit, determine and correct the cause, then switch the unit on.

¡

Use speakers with the right impedance rating.

“F70” appears on the display.

¡

Turn off the unit and then turn it on again, or disconnect the AC mains lead and then connect it to your household mains socket again.

(If “F70” remains on the display, consult an authorized service center or your dealer.)
