Assembling and Connecting to
the Speakers
The front speakers are detached from the speaker
stands. Connect the speaker cables and assemble the
front speakers from speaker stands as illustrated.
1. Connect the speaker cables to the appropriate
terminals on the bottom of each front speaker.
2. Attach the front speakers to the speaker stands by
rotating the screw.
Speaker System Connection
Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker
cables.
To obtain the best possible surround sound, adjust the
speaker parameters (volume, distance, etc.).
Notes:
Be sure to match the speaker cable to the
appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and
– to –. If the cables are reversed, the sound will be
distorted and will lack base.
If you use front speakers with low maximum input
rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid
excessive output on the speakers.

Speaker Positioning
In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front speakers, center speaker, 2 rear speakers and
subwoofer).
If you want to play the excellent bass sound, DTS digital surround or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect a
subwoofer.
Front speakers
According to your listening position set up the speakers for equal distance. And by hearing position set up the interval between
speakers to 45 degree.
Center speaker
The center speaker and front speakers are ideally the same height. But normally place it above or below the television.
Rear speakers
Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround
sound playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far behind the listening position and install them at or
above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse
the sound.
In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall set the rear speakers opposite each other, and set the
rear speakers above 60 - 90 cm than the listener’s ears.
Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.

Mini Glossary for Audio Stream
& Surround Mode
Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high
quality digital audio from DTS program sources such as
discs, DVD and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark.
DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of
transparent audio(which means identical to the original
masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true
360 degree sound field. “DTS” and DTS Digital Surround”
are registered trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
Manufactured under license from Digital Theater Systems,
Inc.
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1
channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital
program source. If you play DVDs with “ ” mark, you can
enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy,
and improved dynamic range.
Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel
which carries the “ ” mark. This mode provides the
effect of being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an
effect with an intensity which can only be obtained through
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the
front/back/left/right movement of the sound image, as well as
the sense of fixed position in the sound image, is much
clearer and more dynamic than before.
(II)
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output
channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an
advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts
the spatial properties of the original recording without adding
any new sounds or tonal colorations.
MOVIE mode:
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and
all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is
enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality
of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
MUSIC mode:
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings.
MATRIX mode:
The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that
the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used
to enhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” The
Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the
fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise
cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The
ultimate “cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to
force the audio to mono.
3D SURROUND
This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D
Surround Sound technology, which simulates multi-channel
audio playback from two conventional stereo speakers
instead of the five or more speakers normally required to
listen to multi-channel audio from a home theatre. This
feature works with DVD discs encoded with Dolby Pro Logic
and Dolby Digital audio tracks.
BYPASS
Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played
according to the way it was recorded.
Sound Mode
You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting
one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to
the program you want to listen to.
Each time you press SOUND button, the sound mode
is changed in the following order;
BYPASS ON STAGE STUDIO CLUB HALL
THEATER 1 CHURCH PL ll MOVIE
PL ll MUSIC PL ll MTRX BYPASS...
(This function available 2-channel mode only)
When DVD is inserted.
You can change the audio mode of DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS,
PRO LOGIC, etc) by pressing the AUDIO button on the
remote
during playback.Although the DVD contents differ from disc
to disc, the following explains the basic operation when this
feature is used.
Each time you press AUDIO button, the audio mode of DVD
is changed as the following order;
→→
For your reference
The unit memorizes the last mode settings for
each source individually.
You can identify the encoding format of program
software by looking at its packaging.
- Dolby Digital discs are labeled with the logo.
- Dolby Surround encoded programs are labeled
with the logo.
- DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with DTS.
Note:
Sound Mode is not applicable when headphone is used.
