Introduction
Disc-related terms
DVD ±R / DVD ±RW
DVD -R and DVD +R are two different standards for
recordable DVD drives and discs. This format allows
information to be recorded onto the DVD disc only
once. DVD +RW and DVD -RW are two standards for
re-writable media, meaning the DVD content can be
erased and re-recorded. Single-sided discs can hold
4.38 Gigabytes and double-sided discs hold twice as
much. There are no dual layer single sided recordable
discs.
VCD (Video CD)
AVCD holds up to 74 minutes (650 MB disc) or 80
minutes (700 MB disc) of MPEG-1 full-motion video
along with quality stereo sound.
MPEG
MPEG is an international standard for video and audio
compression. MPEG-1 is used in encoding video for
VCD and provides for multichannel surround sound
coding such as PCM, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG
audio.
MP3
MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital
audio files that yields very high near-CD quality.
WMA
Windows media audio file. A type of coding / decoding
developed by Microsoft Corp.
JPEG
Joint Pictures Expert Group. JPEG is a compressed
file format that allows you to save images with no limit
on the number of colors.

standard for video.You will be able to play DivX
movies using this DVD/CD receiver.
PBC: Playback Control (Video CD only)

version 2.0 disc formats. PBC allows you to interact
with the system via menus, search functions, or other
typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still
pictures of high resolution can be played if they are
included in the disc. Video CDs not equipped with
PBC (Version 1.1) operate in the same way as audio
CDs.
Title (DVD video discs only)
Atitle is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc. For
example the main feature could be title 1, a
documentary describing how the film was made could
be title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each
title is assigned a reference number enabling you to
locate it easily.
Chapter (DVD video discs only)
Achapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a
film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is
assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate the
chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chapters
may not be recorded.
Group (DVD audio discs only)
The main audio content or accompanying feature
content or additional feature content, or music
album.Each group is assigned a group reference
number enabling you to locate it easily.
Scene (VCD)
On a video CD with PBC (playback control) functions,
moving pictures and still pictures are divided into
sections called “scenes”. Each scene is displayed in
the menu screen and assigned a scene number,
enabling you to locate the scene you want. A scene is
composed of one or several tracks.
Track
Adistinct element of audiovisual information, such as
the picture or sound track for a specific language
(DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD.

Installation and Setup
Speaker System Connection
Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cords.
To obtain the best possible surround sound, adjust the speaker parameters (volume, distance, etc.).
Notes:
Be sure to match the speaker cable to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cables are
reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack base.
If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the
speakers.
About Ferrite Core
Be sure to attach the ferrite core to the speaker
cables (for connecting to this unit).
This ferrite core can reduce noises.
How to attach the ferrite core

Speaker Positioning
In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front speakers, center speaker, 2 rear speakers and
subwoofer).
If you want to play DTS digital surround or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect a subwoofer.
•Front speakers
According to your listening position set up the speakers for equal distance. And by hearing position set up the
interval between speakers to 45 degree.
•Center speaker
The center speaker and front speakers are ideally the same height. But normally place it above or below the
television.
•Rear speakers
Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required
for surround sound playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far behind the listening
position and 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.
In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall set the rear speakers opposite each
other, and set the rear speakers above 60 - 90 cm than the listener’s ears.
•Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.

Installation and Setup
Mini Glossary for Audio Stream &
Surround Mode
Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality
digital audio from DTS program sources such as discs, DVD
and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark. 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.
Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel
which carries the “ ” mark. This mode provides the effect
of being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an effect with
an intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO
LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/right
movement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed
position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynamic
than before.
(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.
MOVIE mode:
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all
programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced
soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete
5.1-channel sound.
MUSIC mode:
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings.
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.
3D SURROUND
This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D Surround
Sound technology, which simulates multi-channel audio
playback from two conventional stereo speakers instead of the
five or more speakers normally required to listen to multi-
channel audio from a home theatre. This feature works with
DVD discs encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital
audio tracks.
BYPASS
Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played
according to the way it was recorded.
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.
Each time you press SOUND button, the sound mode is
changed in the following order;
PRO LOGIC →PLII MOVIE → PLII MUSIC →
PLII MATRIX →ROCK →POP →LIVE →DANCE →
TECHNO →CLASSIC →SOFT →3D SURROUND →
BYPASS ...
(This function available 2-channel mode only)
Tips:
ROCK: Reproduces the acoustics of rock music.
POP: Reproduces the acoustics of pop music.
LIVE: Reproduces the acoustics of a 300-seat live.
DANCE: Reproduces the acoustics of dance music.
TECHNO: Reproduces the acoustics of techno
music.
CLASSIC: Reproduces the acoustics of orchestral
music.
SOFT: Ideal for soft acoustic sounds.
When DVD is inserted.
You can change the sound mode of DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS,
PRO LOGIC, etc) by pressing the AUDIO button on the remote
during playback.
Although the DVD contents differ from disc to disc, the
following explains the basic operation when this feature is
used.
Each time you press AUDIO button, the sound mode of DVD is
changed as the following order;
→→→
For your reference
•
The DVD/CD receiver memorizes the last mode
settings for each source individually.
•
You can identify the encoding format of program
software by looking at its packaging.
-Dolby Digital discs are labeled with the logo.
-Dolby Surround encoded programs are labeled with
the logo.
-DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with DTS.
Note:
Sound Mode is not applicable when headphone is used.
