3.9 inches
3.9 inches
Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install
your player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure
the ventilation slots are not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the amplifier. In order to disconnect the player completely
from the power supply, remove the AC plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.
During thunderstorms, disconnect the AC plug from the
wall outlet.
Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat
sources.
This could lead to overheating and malfunction of
the unit.
Phones
Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases), and excess
heat(e.g.fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic
or electric fields (i.e.speakers...). Disconnect the power
cable from the AC supply if the player malfunctions. Your
player is not intended for industrial use.
Use of this product is for personal use only.
Condensation may occur if your player or disc have been
stored in cold temperatures.
If transporting the player during the winter, wait
approximately 2 hours until the unit has reached room
temperature before using.
The batteries used with this product contain
chemicals that are harmful to the environment.
Do not dispose of batteries in the general household

Dolby Digital Plus
DTS-HD (Master Audio, High Resolution)
(Digital Theater Systems - High Definition)
DTS-HD Audio provides the highest quality multi-channel
sound possible.
It delivers sound quality that matches the clear and vivid
images of high-definition video.
DTS
Provides a full range of 6 channels by converting a digital PCM
or analog stereo signal using DTS digital matrix decoding.
DTS-ES
(Extended Surround)
The DTS-ES (Extended Surround) system is a new multi
digital signal format that was developed by Digital Theater
Systems Inc.
Supporting full compatibility with the conventional DTS
digital surround sound format, the DTS-ES (Extended

Connections
This section involves various methods of connecting the AV receiver to other external components.
Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
SPEAKER POSITIONING
There are two methods for positioning the speakers.
When using Dolby Pro Logic IIz, place the Surround Back Speakers in the FHL, FHR position and connect them to
SURROUND BACK/ FRONT HEIGHT Jack.

Position of AV Receiver
Place the AV Receiver on a dedicated stand or rack.
Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.
Front Speakers
Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.
Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as your ears.
Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the center speaker or place them slightly
in front of the center speaker.
Center speaker
It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers.
You can also install it directly over or under the TV.

Surround Speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position.
If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each other.
● CONNECTIONS
Place them about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90cm) above your ears, facing slightly downward.
Unlike the front and center speakers, the surround speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects
and sound will not come from them all the time.
Surround Back Speakers SBL SBR
If you are using two rear center speakers, place them behind the listening position.
Place the surround back speaker about 2.3-3.3 feet (70 cm to 1 m).
Front Height Speakers FHL FHR (Using Dolby Pro Logic IIz)
When using Dolby Pro Logic IIz, place the Surround Back Speakers on the FHL, FHR position above the
front L and front R speakers at least 3.3 feet(1 m) above each one.
M
When you attach the speakers to the wall, make sure to fasten them tightly so they do not fall off.
Speaker Configuration
For the best surround-sound experience, you should connect seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.
The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers you have.

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for powerful and solid bass.
 If you place a speaker near your TV set, screen color may be distorted because of the magnetic field generated
by the speaker. If this occurs, place the speaker away from your TV set.

If you want to use two active subwoofer speakers, connect both subwoofer speakers into the SUBWOOFER OUT terminals
in the rear panel.
 When using Dolby Pro Logic IIz, connect the Surround Back Speakers (FHL, FHR) to SURROUND BACK/FRONT HEIGHT
Jack.
Connecting Speaker Wire
1. Loosen the knob by turning counterclockwise.
2. Insert the bare part of the wire into the hole in the side of each
terminal.
3. Tighten the knob by turning clockwise to secure the wire.
M
Keep the subwoofer speaker out of reach of children to prevent them from inserting their hands or objects
into the duct (hole).
 Never touch speaker terminals while the power is on. Doing so could result in electric shock.
