1.3 DVD Features
DVD discs offer many advantages over VHS tapes and VCD video discs, which
include:
yParental control: Discs with parental control can be restricted so that discs
that are only suitable for the viewers can be viewed (Please note: DVD disc
must have parental ratings recorded onto the disc for this to work).
yMulti-Language support: DVD discs may have recorded on them upto:
8 different audio languages
8 different subtitle languages
6 different OSD (on screen display) languages
yMultiple angles for the same scene: Some DVD discs are recorded with
scenes that are recorded from multiple angles. On these discs the user can
press a button to cycle through the available angles. (Please note: This is
disc dependant, not all DVD discs utilise this feature).
1.4 DVD region code
DVD players and discs are designed with region numbers, which dictate the
region that the player is designed for use in. If the region number of the disc does
not match that of the player the disc will not play. The region number for this DVD
MICRO system is 2.
1.5 Glossary of Disc Terms
yTitle (DVD)
The longest sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD. For example on a
movie DVD, the main feature movie would be one title. Each title recorded onto a
disc is given a number to allow easy access. Often titles are divided into chapters
(see below).
1. Introduction

3
yChapter (DVD)
A chapter is normally a section of a title. For example, on a movie DVD the main
feature may be recorded as a TITLE and this title may be split into several smaller
sections called CHAPTERS to allow easy navigation to a particular point of a
movie. On some DVD discs there may be no chapters recorded.
yTrack (Video or audio CD)
Video or audio CDs are split into individual sections each called a track. Each
track is given a number, which allows easy access to a specific track.
1.6 Notes on discs
Disc handling precautions
yTo keep the disc surface clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the
surface.
yDo not stick paper or tape on the disc.
If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc, remove the glue completely
before using the disc.
yDo not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources such as hot air ducts or
leave it is a car parked in direct sunlight, as there can be considerable rise in
temperature inside the car.
yAfter playing store the disc in its case.
yDo not write on the label side with a ballpoint pen or other writing utensils.
yBe careful not to drop or bend the disc
Disc cleaning precautions
yBefore playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the

4.1 Setting up the surround sound system
Positioning
For the best possible surround sound all the speakers other than the subwoofer
should be the same distance from the listening position ( ).
However, this system allows you to place the centre speaker up to 1.6 metres
closer ( ) and the rear speakers up to 4.6 metres closer ( ) to the listening
position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 15.0 metres ( ) from the listening
position.
The subwoofer can be position at any position. If possible, place the subwoofer
near a corner to maximise the bass response.
The rear speakers can be positioned either behind you or to the side depending
on the shape of your room.
4. Basic Setup

14
Height
The best height for the front speakers is when the high frequency speakers
(tweeters) are at ear height (while seated)
The best height for the centre speaker is also at ear height (while seated).
The rear speakers should not be positioned below ear height (while seated).
See the following diagram. The best position to place the rear speakers is
area, but they can also be placed in area.
4.2 Master Volume
To adjust all of the speaker channels by the same amount use the
Master Volume +/- keys on the remote or the master volume control knob on the
amplifier component.
4.3 Individual Channel Volume
Each individual channel volume can be controlled using the volume menu key on
the remote control or on the front panel of the amplifier component. Repeatedly
press the volume menu key to cycle through the channels as follows:
MVOL: Master volume
LVOL: Front Left Channel
RVOL: Front Right Channel
CVOL: Centre Channel
SL: Rear (Surround) Left Channel
SR: Rear (Surround) Right Channel
SW: Subwoofer Channel
4. Basic Setup (cont)

plus the subwoofer. When virtual surround is enabled “SUR ON” will be briefly
shown on the display and “DSP” will be remaining in the display.
4.6 Treble
To adjust the treble output of the sound use the TREBLE +/- buttons on the front
panel. The positive numbers indicate that the treble output is enhanced and
negative numbers indicate that the treble output is attenuated. For example +10
indicates the treble is fully enhanced and –10 indicates the treble is attenuated to
