Delay times - DVD only

Your SACD player is set to correctly reproduce synchronized Digital Surround Sound in a listening area where the surround speakers are about 150cm nearer to the listening position than the front speakers and the center speaker is in line with the front speakers. To adjust for other listening-area arrangements, adapt delay times according to the following:

Digital Surround

Measure the distances in centimeters from the front speaker plane and from the surround speaker plane to the listening positioning plane.

Substract the surround distance from the front distance and divide by 30. The result is the required Surround Channel delay time in milliseconds.

If the center speaker is on the front speaker plane, no center speaker delay is needed. You can adjust the delay time in the “User Preference Settings”. See Personal preferences - Sound - Speaker Settings. If, however, it is nearer to the listening position, measure the distance in centimeters between the front and center speaker planes and divide by 30. The result is the required Center Channel delay time in milliseconds.

Dolby Pro Logic

If the delay times for Surround Channel and Center Channel are set for Digital Surround mode, the delay times for Dolby Pro Logic mode will automatically be calculated and set.

Connecting the power supply

1Check if the power voltage as shown on the type plate (on the back of the player) corresponds to your local power voltage. If not, adjust the voltage selector (1) to match with your local power supply.

2Plug the female end of the power cable supplied into the Power connector POWER SUPPLY (2) on the rear of the player.

3Plug the male end of the cord into an AC outlet.

Note: When the player is in the STANDBY or OFF position, it will still consume some power. If you wish to disconnect your player completely from the power supply, pull the plug from the AC Outlet.

Caution: Only qualified service personnel should remove the cover or attempt to service this device.
