To obtain the best possible surround sound, adjust the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.). otes Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3 and # to #. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and lack bass. If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive volume output to the speakers. Do not disassemble the front covers of supplied speakers. Speaker Positioning For a normal setup use 6 speakers (2 front speakers, center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer). · Front Speakers Based on your listening position, set up the speakers at equal distance. And by hearing position, set up an interval between speakers of 45 degree. · Center Speaker It is ideal if the center speaker and front speakers are at the same height. But normally place the center speaker above or below the television as shown below. · Rear Speakers Place the rear surround speakers to the left and right behind the primary listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far behind the listening position, install them at or above the level of the listener's ears. It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound. For smaller room sizes, if the audience is near the rear wall, set the rear speakers opposite each other 2 - 3 feet above the listener's ears. · Subwoofer This can be placed in any front position.

INPUT OUTPUT SELECT 15 PREPARATION Sound Mode Setup and Descriptions Sound Mode Mini Glossary Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources bearing the trademark: DVDs, compact discs, etc. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio (which means identical to the original masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC. The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital program source. If you play DVDs with " " mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range. When playing recordings of live music and classic, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a small concert hall. When playing recordings of live music and classic, this mode provides a feeling similar to actually being in a large concert hall. This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar to that of movie theater. II Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations. Pro Logic II offers the following five modes: PROLOGIC Emulation mode: The Pro Logic Emulation mode offers users the same robust surround processing as original Pro Logic, in case the source content is not of optimum quality, or if there is a desire to hear the program more "as it used to be." When this mode is used, it is called Pro Logic, as before. There is no "Pro Logic I" mode. The Pro Logic emulation mode is optional. MOVIE mode: Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced sound field directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound. MUSIC mode: Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music mode includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual listening tastes. VIRTUAL mode: Virtual mode is usually used when Pro Logic II is used to create a virtual process for speaker use. However, there might be some virtualizers for which this mode does not produce the intended result. For those virtualizers, Movie mode may give the best surround effect. Virtual mode is designed to be used with the virtual process developed by Dolby Laboratories. The Pro Logic II mode should be called only "Pro Logic II" so the Virtual name can be reserved to describe the speaker virtualization process itself. MATRIX mode: The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance mono signals by making them seem "larger." The Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate "cure" for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono. SURROUND OFF (2CH STEREO) Outputs the sound from the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. Standard two channel (stereo) sources completely bypass the sound field processing. This allows you to play any source using only the front left and right speakers and subwoofer. You can select SURROUND OFF by pressing BY PASS on the remote control. 16 Sound Mode Setup and Descriptions (Continued) Sound Mode You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to.

If not, then set the delay times of the center or rear speakers so that the sound will be heard simultaneously by the listener. The interval from the speakers to the listener. If the distance from the listener to each speaker is same, in the Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II mode, the delay time of each speaker is as follows. In Dolby Digital mode Center delay time : 0 ms (0-5 ms) Surround delay time: 5 ms (0-15 ms) In Dolby Pro Logic II mode Center delay time : cannot be set Surround delay time: PROLOGIC: 10 - 25 msec MOVIE: 10 - 25 msec MUSIC: 0 - 15 msec VIRTUAL: cannot set MATRIX: 0 - 15 msec If the surround delay time is set in Dolby Digital mode, in the Dolby Pro Logic II mode, the delay time will be automatically set. The delay time is 1 msec per 1 feet. If the center and rear speakers are further than the front speakers from the listener, the delay time will be at minimum. L (A) C DC DF SW DS SL SR (B) R Center delay time setting (Dolby Digital mode only) If the distance of DF is equal to the distance of DC in the example, set the Center Delay Time as 0ms. Otherwise, change the setting according to the table below. Ex) If the distance from the front speakers to the listener is 10 feet and from the center speaker to the listener is 8 feet, the center delay time is 2 msec. 10 feet (DF) - 8 feet (DC) = 2 feet (A) 2 feet (A) / 1 feet = 2 msec Setting the delay time in the Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II mode 1 Press DELAY. The current surround delay time appears in the display window. You can select center delay time with b/B in the Dolby Digital mode only. 2 Use v/V to change the delay time. 3 If setting is complete, press DELAY. otes You can adjust the center delay time only in the Dolby Digital mode and its delay time appears. Center Width (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only) This control allows center-channel sounds to be positioned between the center speaker and the left/right speakers over a range of eight steps. Step "3" uses a combination of all three front speakers to give the best vocal imaging and most seamless soundstage presentation, and is recommended for most recordings. Step "0" places all center sound in the center speaker. Step "7" places all center sound equally in the left/right speakers, just as in conventional stereo. DIMENSE Surround delay time setting If the distance of DS is equal to or longer than the DF in the figure above, set the Surround Delay Time as 0ms. Otherwise, change the setting accordingly as indicated below. Ex) If the distance from front speakers to the listener is 10 feet and from rear speakers from the listener is 5 feet, in the Dolby Digital mode the surround delay time is 5 msec. 10 feet (DF) - 5 feet (DS) = 5 feet (B) 5 feet (B) = 5 feet / 1 feet = 5 msec (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only) This control allows the user to gradually adjust the sound field either towards the front or the rear. This can be useful to help achieve the desired balance from all the speakers with certain recordings that may contain either too much or too little spatial effect. Step "0" is the recommended setting, which has no effect on the sound. Steps 1, 2, and 3 gradually move the sound forward, and steps -1, -2, and -3 move the sound towards the surround speakers. PANORAMA (MUSIC mode of Dolby Pro Logic II only) This control extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting "wraparound" effect with side-wall imaging. It is particularly effective for recordings which have strong left or right channel elements in the mix, as these are detected and accentuated by the Panorama process. 18 VCR Operation Setup On-Screen Display (OSD) Some of these functions appear during VCR operation.
