Switching on the system
1After completing all the connections, connect the AC power cord of the player and subwoofer to the power outlet.
2Press STANDBY ON to switch on the last selected source.
3Adjust the SOURCE button (or press TV/AV, DISC, TUNER or AUX) to select the input source.
➜ The selected source will be displayed.
●For viewing a DVD or VCD disc, a TV set needs to be connected (refer to “Connections - Connecting a TV and additional components”).
Switch on the TV and set to the correct video in channel (for example, EXT1, EXT2, AV1, AV2). Refer to your TV instruction manual for details.
➜ The default screen appears on the TV.
●You can connect other external components to the DVD system in order to use the Home Cinema Audio System’s surround sound capabilities. For example, connect to a TV and select TV/AV as the input source or connect to a VCR and select AUX as the input source.
Setting up the surround sound system
You must connect all the speakers and set up the system properly in order to enjoy the Digital Cinema experience at home (refer to “Connections - Connecting the speakers”). 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.
IMPORTANT!
Please sit at your usual listening position in order to set up the speaker balance correctly.
Placing the speakers
To obtain the best surround effect, place the speakers as follows.
1Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.
2Place the centre speaker above or below the TV so the centre channel’s sound is localised.
3Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level facing each other or mounted on the wall.
4Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV.
Notes:
–To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to your TV.
–If the rear surround speakers are installed farther away
from the listening position than the front and centre speakers, it will weaken the surround effect.
–All speakers should be securely installed to prevent accidents and improve sound quality.
