INTRODUCTION
Before Use
(Continued)
Precautions
Handling
the
unit
When
shipping
the
unit
The
original shipping
carton and
packing
materials
come
in
handy.
For maximum
protection, re-pack
the
unit
as
it
was
originally
packed
at the
factory.
When
setting
up
the
unit
The
picture
and sound of a
nearby
TV, VCR,
or radio
may
be distorted
during
playback.
In
this
case,
position
the
unit
away
from the
TV, VCR,
or
radio,
or
turn
off the
unit
after
removing
the disc.
To
keep
the exterior surfaces clean
Do not use volatile
liquids,
such as insecticide
spray,
near the
unit.
Do not leave rubber or
plastic products
in
contact
with
the
unit
for a
long
period
of time.
They
will
leave marks on the surface.
Cleaning
the
unit
To clean the cabinet
Use a
soft,
dry
cloth.
If
the surfaces are
extremely dirty,
use a soft cloth
lightly
moistened
with
a mild
detergent
solution. Do not use
strong
solvents such as
alcohol,
benzine,
or
thinner,
as these
might damage
the surface
of the
unit.
To obtain
a
clear
picture
The
DVD
player
is a
high-tech,
precision
device.
If
the
optical pick-up
lens and disc drive
parts
are
dirty
or
worn,
the
picture quality
will
be
poor.
Regular
inspection
and maintenance are recommended
after
every
1,000
hours of use.
(This depends
on the
operating
environment.)
For
details,
please
contact
your
nearest dealer.
Notes on Discs

or
tape
on the disc.
Storing

in
its case.
Do not
expose
the disc to direct
sunlight
or sources of
heat,
or leave
it in
a
parked
car
exposed
to direct sun-
light,
as there
may
be a considerable
temperature
increase inside the car.
Cleaning
discs

and dust on the disc can cause
poor pic-
ture
quality
and sound distortion. Before
playing,
clean
the disc
with
a clean cloth.

the disc from the cen-
ter out.

Be
sure
to match the

cord to the
appropriate
terminal on the
components:
+ to + and

the

If

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
the excellent bass sound 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
It
is
ideal that the center
speakers
and front
speakers
are
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
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
60-90cm
than the
listener's
ears.

Mini
Glossary
for Audio Stream &
Surround mode
Allows
you
to
enjoy
5.1(or 6)
discrete channels of
high quality digi-
tal
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
identi-
cal 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 chan-
nels 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 col-
orations.
MOVIE mode:
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all
pro-
grams
encoded in
Dolby
Surround.
The result is enhanced sound-
field
directionality
that
approaches
the
quality
of discrete 5.1-chan-
nel sound.
MUSIC mode:
The 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.
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
sur-
round
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

works
with DVD

with
Dolby
