Safety Precaution - Make sure that all of your equipment remains unplugged from the AC mains until you have made all the connections.

Step 3 - Connect the speakers to your amplifier(s) so you will be able to hear sound.

Step 4 - If you are using a new DVD player or had previously configured it with 2-channel (RCA type) analog audio connections, you may need to configure the output to digital audio. In your DVD player’s AUDIO SETUP MENU, you must set the digital output to BITSTREAM. If this is not set correctly, the DMC-1 cannot decode the digital information for discrete surround sound playback.

Step 5 - The DMC-1 has a bass management system which allows the damaging bass from each full range channel to be redirected to a subwoofer. Larger speakers can typically play the full frequency range, however you may choose to have smaller speakers (such as satellite types) can have the bass redirected to the subwoofer(s). Make a note of which speakers you would like to play the full frequency range (Large) and those which will have the bass redirected (Small). Also make a note of the approximate distance of each speaker from your listening position.

Step 6 - Turn on the DMC-1

Step 7 - Turn on your amplifiers, TV and other source equipment.

Step 8 - Press the remote MAIN button - a few times to make sure you are on the Main Menu in the remote’s display.

Step 9 - Set the remote to operate the DMC-1 by pressing the EMO button.

Step 10 - Turn down the DMC-1 volume and use the remote or front panel input selector to select a video source.

Step 11 - Play the source, and bring up the volume to a low level. Make sure the video can be seen in the TV monitor.

Step 12 - Stop or pause the source.
