26. INSTALLATION
a. Receiver Location – Locate for comfortable viewing.
Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light will fall
on the screen. Use of some types of florescent lighting
can reduce remote control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal com-
ponent failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat.
To ensure optimum picture quality do not position mag-
netic equipment nearby.
b. Cable Equipment – The Video/Audio connection be-
tween components can be made with shielded video and
audio cable. For best performance, antenna cables
should utilize 75 Ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are
available from your dealer or electronic supply store.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what
type of output and input connectors your various compo-
nents require. Also determine the length of cable you’ll
need.
c. Optimum Quality picture – Turn off florescent lamps
near the LCD and place in a location not exposed to
outdoor light.

e. Reference
1) Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique
developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Supporting 5.1-
channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2 Channel)
sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound
data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.
2) The Digital Theater System (DTS) is a 5.1-channel
surround sound system, which is widely used in movie
theaters around the world, It allows the bit rate to be
increased in order to provide good sound quality with-
out excessively compressing the data.
3) Linear PCM (LPCM) is a signal recording format used
in a CD. While a CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a
DVD is recorded at 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96kHz/24 bit.
4) If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you
will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same
DVD movies that provide fill 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Digi-
tal mark

5) The digital audio output connector (optical) converts
electrical signals into optical signals (light) and trans-
fers them to an amplifier. These optical signals are
immune from electrical interference, and they also have
minimal effect on other equipment.
