System Setup

E n g l i s h

Setting up the Digital

Cinema system

You must connect all the speakers and set up the system properly in order to enjoy the Digital Cinema experience at home. You will have the feeling of being in the middle of the action, because sound is coming from everywhere around you. The subwoofer can enhance the bass performance of your system dramatically. Look for discs

with the marks which indicates the material is encoded for surround sound.

The availability of the various surround sound modes depends on the number of speakers used and the incoming sound information available on the disc.

Speakers Placement

General hints for positioning

●Avoid positioning the speakers in a corner or on the floor as this will boost the bass tones too much. Placing the speakers behind curtains, furniture, etc., will reduce the treble response.

●The speakers should be visible from the listening area.

●For the best surround effects, install all speakers. If a centre speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the unused channel will be distributed to the connected speakers in order to reproduce the best possible surround sound.

●Each room has different acoustic characteristics and the positioning possibilities often are limited. You can find the best position for your speakers by experimenting or referring to the picture below.

Positioning the front speakers

The front speakers should be placed to the right and left at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.

Positioning the centre speaker

The centre speaker should be placed in the centre between both front speakers and should always be placed in line with the television (e.g. underneath or on top of the TV). The best height for the centre speaker is the height of the listener’s ears (while seated).

Positioning the surround speakers

The surround speakers should face each other and be placed at normal listening ear level or mounted on the wall at the back of the room.

Positioning the Subwoofer

Place the subwoofer on a solid floor where resonance is unlikely to occur. The subwoofer can be positioned anywhere in the room because it is not possible to locate the source of deep tones. Nevertheless, you should not place it in the centre of a room, the bass could be extremely weakened. Do not place an object on the subwoofer.

Note:

–To avoid magnetic interference with the picture on your TV, do not position the front speakers too close to the TV.

Speakers Setup

Before operating your system in TV,VCR or CDR mode, you will need to set up the speaker configuration and the distance from the listening position to each speaker. For speaker setup in DVD mode, refer to “DVD/CD operation - Audio Set”.

Note:

–It is only necessary to set the parameters once unless you change the speaker configuration.
