THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment

generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the

following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

• If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that

you stop using your home theater system.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RadioShack

may cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate the

equipment.

You must use shielded interface cables with this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is

subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not

cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

PLACEMENT

DOLBY DIGITAL /DTS

Dolby Digital is a sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories

Inc. that gives movie theatre ambience to audio output when the unit

is connected to a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel processor or amplifier.

This unit automatically recognizes DVDs that are encoded with

Dolby Digital.

Not all Dolby Digital sources are recorded with 6 channels. Some

sources marked Dolby Digital may be recorded in Dolby Surround, a

2 channel system. Look for this logo on your DVD unit.

This unit does not decode DTS Digital Surround signals. To enjoy

DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS

Digital Surround decoder system must be connected to the DIGITAL

AUDIO OUT jack of the main unit.

‰ýManufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. Dolby and the double-D

symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. DTS and DTS Digital Out are

trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

PREPARATION

You must connect a TV to the system in order to use the system’s

DVD player. You can connect other audio and audio/visual

components to the system in order to use the Home Theater Audio

System’s surround sound capabilities.

:::

• The system comes with one set of audio/video cables. Your local

RadioShack store sells a wide variety of audio/video cables if you

need additional cables to connect components.

•AUDIO OUT L/R only works in DVD mode.

• The low frequency response of AUX OUT is dependent on the

5.1 CH/2.1 CH setting and whether the subwoofer is on or off.

CONNECTING YOUR TV

The unit can be connected to your TV in several different ways,

depending on the design of your TV.

RCA Audio/Video Jacks

Using the supplied audio/video cable, connect the VIDEO OUT and

AUDIO OUT L/R jacks to the VIDEO and left/right AUDIO IN jacks

DISC FORMATS

DISC FUNCTION OR OPERATION THAT IS

NOT AVAILABLE

When " appears on the TV screen, this indicates that the function

or operation attempted is not available at that time. This occurs

because the DVD manufacturer determines the specific functions.

Certain functions may not be available on some discs. Be sure to read

the documentation provided with the disc.

:::

• This unit supports 2-channel (L/R) audio and 5.1ch (Multi-

channel) MPEG audio 1/2 (only when the DIGITAL AUDIO

OUT coaxial jack is used for connection). It does not support

7.1 channel MPEG Audio Version 2.0.

• When playing back a CD-G (Graphics) or CD EXTRA disc, the

audio portion is played, but the graphic images are not shown.

TITLE, CHAPTER AND TRACKS

DVDs are divided into “titles” and “chapters”. If the disc has more

than one movie on it, each movie is a separate “title”. “Chapters” are

sections of titles.

Audio CDs are divided into “tracks”. A “track” is usually one song on

an audio CD.

: :

: Numbers identify each title, chapter, and track on a disc. Most

discs have these numbers recorded on them, but some do not.

BEFORE YOU START

INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE

CONTROL

Your remote control requires two AA batteries (not supplied) for

power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend

RadioShack alkaline batteries.

batteries.

iiin

: :

: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not

burn or bury them.

iiio

::: If you do not plan to use the remote control for a month or

longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can

destroy electronic parts.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL

Point the Remote Control at the remote sensor located on the unit.

When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the

infrared remote sensor may be degraded, causing unreliable

operation. The recommended effective distance for remote operation
