SPEAKERS ARRANGEMENT OF SPEAKERS

FUNCTIONS SYSTEM SETUP

The configuration and arrangement of a surround sound system's speakers is critical. For maximum listening enjoyment, refer to the Arrangement of Speakers section in this manual prior to connecting speakers.

Surround Sound Speakers

Front or main right and left speakers;

center speaker

These three speakers provide extensive sound imaging and augment the dynamic effect of the audio. A movie's principal dialogue comes through these speakers.

Rear or surround sound speakers

These two speakers provide 3-D dynamic sound effects, and create an enveloping atmosphere, as they add background sounds.

.

Subwoofer speaker

Provides rich and powerful bass, adding a powerful dimension of realism.

The ideal surround sound speaker configur- ation may vary according to room size and wall material. The figure below illustrates a typical arrangement.

Hints:

Front or main speakers and central speaker should be placed at the same level and in a way that sound is oriented toward the listener's ears.

3D surround sound or rear speakers should be placed 3' higher than the height of listener's ears.

Subwoofer speaker may be placed anywhere within the room, as its location produces little effect on a listener's sensation to sound. To obtain the optimum bass effect, a subwoofer is recommended in home theater systems.

The repeat mode changes each time the REPEAT key is pressed (i.e., from title repeat to chapter repeat, all repeat , to repeat off.)

Zoom

A picture may be enlarged up to four times during either playback or slow motion through the unit's zoom function. Press the ZOOM key once and it enlarges the image 2x; press a second time and the image enlarges 3x; A third pressing enlarges the image 4x. A forth press- ing the image 1/2x, a five pressing the image 1/3x, a sixth pressing the image1/4x .To return to normal-size playback, press the ZOOM key a seventh time. Enlargement takes place in the center of the picture.

L/R

When a DVD disc is played, the active language will be displayed. When a CD disc is played, the left or right track, or stereo will be displayed accordingly.
