Basic Operation
Before operation
• Before operating this unit with the supplied remote control, refer to "UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROLS" on page 12 for details
about operation.
• Each time the POWER ON/STANDBY button is pressed,
the unit is turned on to enter the operating mode(the
POWER ON/STANDBY indicator lights up blue) or off to
enter the standby mode(the POWER ON/ STANDBY
indicator lights up amber).
• On the remote control, press the POWER ON button to

to enter the standby mode.
• In the standby mode, if the SOURCE SELECT,
PLAY/PAUSE ( /
) or OPEN/CLOSE( ) button is
pressed, the unit can be also turned on.
Standby mode
This means that the unit is not disconnected from the AC
mains and a small amount of current is retained to support
the operation readiness.
Setting the power off mode
You can set the power off mode to either the standby
mode or the power saving mode and can save energy
more in the power saving mode than in the standby mode.
• Depending on whether the STANDBY button on the
remote control for more than 2 seconds either in the
standby mode or in the power saving mode, it is set to
the power saving mode(time display is turned off) or the
standby mode.
Note
• Depending on the power off mode setting, when the
power is turned off, it enters the mode you set.
• In case of connecting the active subwoofer, turn on the
active subwoofer.
• Each time the SOURCE SELECT button on the front
panel, the input source changes as follows :
FM AM AUX F. AUX VIDEO DVD
(frequency display)
• "MUTING" flickers.

• While playing the selected input source
Selecting a surround mode
• The volume level of each channel can be adjusted as desired.
Adjusting the channel level(/setting the FM mode)
• Each time this button is pressed, the surround mode
changes as follows :
(Dolby VS REF Dolby VS WIDE) or <DOLBY HP>
STEREO
( ) : Possible only when listening via the speakers.
< > : Possible only when listening via the headphones.
Surround modes
• Dolby Virtual Speaker
This mode creates a virtual surround sound field using as few as two front speakers and subwoofer, allowing you to
experience listening from 5.1 channel speakers.
* Dolby Virtual Speaker Reference("Dolby VS REF")
The width of the front sound image is defined by the actual distance between front speakers.
* Dolby Virtual Speaker Wide("Dolby VS WIDE")
The width of the front sound image seems to extend beyond the front speakers.
• Dolby Headphone("DOLBY HP")
This mode simulates 5.1 channel surround sound, which allows you to enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound through 2 channel
headphones, just like listening from 5.1 channel speakers.
• Dolby Virtual Speaker and Dolby Headphone modes are effective not only for 5.1 channel sources but also for stereo (2
channel) sources.
8. Press and hold down the SETUP button for
more than 2 seconds.
10. Adjust the level of the selected channel or set

The aspect ratio is the ratio between the vertical and
horizontal size of the picture displayed on a TV screen. The
aspect ratio of normal TV screen is 4:3 while that of the
wide-screen TV and HDTV screen is 16:9.
Subtitle (DVD Video)
Some DVD Videos contain the recording of more than one
subtitle languages. With these discs, this unit can select one
of the subtitle languages as desired during playback.
Angle (DVD Video)

simultaneously from multiple camera angles. With these
discs, the same scene can be viewed from each of these
different angles.
DVD Video
The format for storing MPEG-2 video on DVD, with
interactive menus, multiple soundtracks, subtitles, camera
angles, and so on.
MPEG(Moving Picture Expert Group)
It is regarded as an international standard for compressing
and restoring digital video and audio signal. "MPEG"
standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Video
CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD Video is
based on MPEG-2.
MP3
MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data
reduction of about 1:10.
• MPEG Layer-3 audio coding technology licensed from
Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson.
WMA(Windows Media Audio)
WMA is an audio data compression format developed by
Microsoft Corporation. WMA file size is smaller than that of
MP3.
JPEG(Joint Photographic Experts Group)
JPEG is a papular file format for still image compression and
storage.
There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.
• baseline JPEG : used for digital cameras, the web, etc.
• progressive JPEG : used for the web.
• lossless JPEG : an old type, rarely used now.

cinemas from 35 mm film and in the home from laser discs,
DVD Videos, and digital broadcast television, cable, and
satellite systems. It enables the transmission and storage
of up to five full-range audio channels, plus a low-frequency
effects channel(LFE), thus 5.1 channels, in less space than
is required for just one linear PCM-coded channel on a
compact disc.
Dolby and the double-D symbol are registered trademarks
of Dolby Laboratories.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
DTS is a newly-developed surround system which can
handle more amount of data, providing better audio quality.
Though the number of audio channels is 5.1 which is same
as Dolby Digital, discs bearing the " " provides fat
sound and better signal-to-noise ratio, thanks to the lower
audio compression ratio format. It also provides wide
dynamic range and better separation, resulting in
magnificent sound.

picture at one time, as a single frame.
Composite video
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer
video products that contains all luminance, color, and
synchronization information.
S-video
A video signal which improves picture quality over the
standard composite video signal.
Component video
Video signals with three channels of separate information
that makes up the picture. There are some types of
component video, such as Y/CB
(Pb)/CR(Pr) and R/G/B.
Bitstream
The digital signal form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1
channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
Linear PCM
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation. Linear PCM is the
usual digital method without compression, used for audio
