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.

• 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

• 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.

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.

2. Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity:

(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

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 anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

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:

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.

(See “About the cooling fan” below.)

Center unit

FM antenna connection

Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM 75 Ω COAXIAL terminal as temporary measure.

Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.

• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna. Before attaching a 75

Ω coaxial cable (with a standard type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

AM antenna connection

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to the AM and H terminals.

Turn the loop until you have the best reception.

• 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.

Connecting the Speakers

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.

CAUTION:

Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

When setting 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.

1 Press and hold the terminal clamp.

2 Insert the speaker cord.

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.

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 the Delay Time” on page 16 and 17.

Note:

You can change the phase of subwoofer sounds by connecting the speaker cords to the terminals inversely—the 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.

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 Surround—Dolby Digital and DTS Digital

Surround

• Dolby Surround

• DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes

■ Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround

To enjoy surround effectively, all the speakers need to be connected and activated.

Dolby Digital*

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with 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.

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.

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 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.

When the system detects DTS Digital Surround signals, the DTS indicator lights up on the display.

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 signals—matrix-based multichannel reproduction, and allows you to enjoy a realistic stereo sound in your listening room.

When one of Dolby Surround is selected, the PRO LOGIC indicator lights up on the display.

• DTS Digital Surround

• Dolby Pro Logic

• Dolby 3 Stereo

• DSP *

* 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.

■ 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.

■ DSP (Digital Signal Processor) Modes

DSP modes have been designed to create important acoustic surround elements.

The sound heard in a theater, a hall, a live club, or a dance club 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.

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 there” feeling.

When one of the DSP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

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.

2. Press TEST on the remote control.

The test tone comes out from the speakers (except subwoofer) in the order.

TEST

• If there is a speaker from which no sounds comes out, check the speaker’s connection (see pages 6 and 7.)

Disc Introduction—DVD/VCD/CD

This system has been designed to play back the following discs: DVD,

Video CD, Super Video CD (SVCD), Audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.

• This system can also play back MP3 files recorded on CD-Rs and

CD-RWs. For in-depth information about what MP3 is, see “MP3

Introduction” on page 40.

Disc structure—DVD, Video CD (VCD/SVCD) and Audio 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.)

When playing back a VCD/SVCD with Playback Control (PBC) function, you can select what to view using the menu shown on the

TV screen. (While operating a Video CD using the menu, some of the functions such as Repeat and Track Search may not work.)

Super

Video

CD

If “ ” appears on the TV screen when pressing a button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do, or information required for that operation is not recorded in the disc.

NOTICE : In some cases, without showing “ ,” operations will not be accepted.

Example 1: DVD disc

Audio

CD

COMPACT

DIGITAL AUDIO

CD-R

CD-RW

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.

* 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:

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.

• 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 ERR” appears 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.)

MP3 Introduction

This system is incorporated with an MP3 decoder. You can play back MP3 tracks (files) recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs.

• Notice that “files” and “tracks” are used interchangeably.

What is MP3?

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 File Compatibility

• 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 read or play MP3 files only with the extension code—“.mp3”.

• ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display.

* 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 “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.

“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 directories—so-called “hierarchy”—is eight (inclusive of the root).

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.

About characters shown on the display

When the display shows PS NAME, RT, or CT signals, the following characters are used.

• The display cannot differentiate upper case and lower case letters and always uses upper case letters.

• The display cannot show accented letters, “A,” for instance, may stand for accented “A’s” like “Å, Ä, Ã, Á, À, Â, å, ä, ã, á, à, and

â.”

RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the

RDS indicator lights up on the display.
