Since the remote controller will be used for many of this unit’s
control operations, you should begin by installing the supplied
batteries.
1. Turn the remote controller over and slide the battery
compartment cover in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert the batteries (R6, AA, UM-3 type) according to the
polarity markings on the inside of the battery compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment cover.
Notes about the remote controller
Battery replacement
If you find that the remote controller must be used closer to the
main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries with
new ones.
Notes
Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries.
Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration
inside the battery compartment.)
Remove the batteries if the remote controller is not used for
an extended period of time.

Speaker setup
We recommend you to set up a multi-speaker system to enjoy the 5.1 channel surround sound of sources encoded with Dolby
Digital, MPEG or DTS.
m Speaker configuration
The most recommended speaker configuration is the 6 speaker
configuration: 2 main speakers, 2 effect speakers, a center
speaker and a subwoofer.
The main speakers are used for the main source sound. The
effect speakers are used for the effect and surround sounds,
and the center speaker is for the center sounds (dialog etc.).
The subwoofer is for reinforcing low frequencies on your audio
system and low frequency effect sounds of the subwoofer-
channel.
For China and General models only
This unit is designed to output signals of 5.1 channels
efficiently according to your speaker system if you cannot set
up a full 6 speaker configuration. It depends on the setting of “3
Speaker” on the SET UP menu. Refer to pages 62 to 63 for
details. However, this setting is effective only on audio signals
output from the 6CH DISCRETE terminals.
m Placing speakers
Main speakers: On both sides of the TV and almost the
same height as the TV.
Effect speakers: Behind your listening position, facing
slightly inward. Nearly 1.8 m (approx. 6
feet) up from the floor.
Center speaker: Precisely between the main speakers.
(To avoid interference with TV sets, use a
magnetically shielded speaker.)
Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not so
critical because low bass tones are not
highly directional.

Connections
When you connect this unit to an AV amplifier or receiver
equipped with a Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS decoder, connect
this unit’s OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) terminal to the amplifier’s
optical (or coaxial) digital signal input terminal.
* If the amplifier and Dolby Digital (or MPEG or DTS) decoder
are separated, connect this unit’s OPTICAL (or COAXIAL)
terminal to the decoder’s optical (or coaxial) digital signal
input terminal.
* When you use the Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS decoder, be
sure to use “1 Digital Output” on the SET UP menu of this
unit to select the “Disc Original” mode for “Dolby Digital”,
“MPEG” or “DTS”. (Refer to page 59 for details.)
Also, connect this unit’s MIXED 2CH AUDIO OUT terminals to
the amplifier’s analog signal input terminals regardless of
making the digital terminal connection. This is necessary for
playing back a source in 2 channel stereo or with Dolby Pro
Logic decoded.
A digital terminal connection is necessary between this
unit and the amplifier (or decoder) for sending the
playback signals of a source encoded with Dolby Digital,
MPEG or DTS to the amplifier (or decoder). This
connection allows you to enjoy a theater-like surround
sound in your home.
Caution: Plug in this unit and other components after all connections are completed.
All connections must be correct, observing the color coding of terminals between this unit and other components.

Notes on connecting to this unit’s OPTICAL terminal
Before using this terminal, remove the terminal’s cover by
pulling it.
Make the connection from this terminal to the optical input
terminal of an amplifier by using a commercially available
optical fiber cable.
* Use an optical fiber cable that conforms to EIAJ
standards. Other cables might not function correctly.
Be sure to attach the terminal’s cover when this terminal is
not being used, in order to protect the terminal from dust.
When you connect this unit’s OPTICAL or COAXIAL
terminal to the optical or coaxial digital input
terminal of the amplifier which does not include a
Dolby Digital, MPEG or DTS decoder
Use “1 Digital Output” on the SET UP menu to select the
“PCM” mode for “Dolby Digital” and “MPEG”, and select the
“OFF” mode for “DTS”. (Refer to page 59 for details.)
Digital signal output from this unit
For a DVD disc only, the format of digital signal output from this
unit can be selected by the setting of “1 Digital Output” on the
SET UP menu. (See page 59.)
For your reference:
Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in CDs. While
CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs are recorded in
48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.
If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder or your AV
amplifier includes a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you
will obtain the full benefit of Dolby Pro Logic from the same
DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital
sound tracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround
mark.
Digital signal for linear PCM (48 kHz 20/24 bit) will be
converted into 48 kHz 16 bit and will be output if a DVD you
play back is formatted with code scramble system
(copyright-protection).

Dynamic range
“Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum
level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie
originally designed for movie theaters feature very wide
dynamic range.
Dolby Digital technology can bring the original sound track
into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range
unchanged.
Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not
always suitable for home use. Depending upon the
condition of your listening environment, it may not be
possible to increase the sound output level as high as a
movie theater. However, in a level suitable for listening in
your room, the low level parts of source sound cannot be
heard well because they will be lost among noises in your
environment.
Dolby Digital technology also made it possible to reduce an
original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio
format by “compressing” the data of sound.

2, etc. They are useful for quick search for the desired tune (or
picture).
Index
Some track on a Video CD or CD is subdivided into smaller
divisions (such as, for example, the movements within
classical symphonies) for easier location of those parts.
They are refered as “indexes” and numbered in sequence.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital audio format which mainly provides
high-quality multi-channel audio for sound tracks of movies. It
provides us up to independent 6 channels compatible with the
6 speaker configuration: Left main, right main, center, left
surround, right surround and subwoofer. It stores a large
volume of digital sound signals (as data) into a laserdisc, DVD,
etc. with a high level data-compression technology.
DTS
DTS (Digital Theater Systems) is also a multi-channel digital
audio format. It provides us up to 6 channels. DTS encodes
high-quality, 20-bit audio onto laserdiscs, compact discs and
DVDs with less data-compression.
Linear PCM
A basic digital audio format used in CDs. It is based on Pulse
Code Modulation (PCM), an analog-to-digital conversion
technology. No compression is applied to the data.
MPEG 1 audio
A digital audio format mainly used in Video CDs. It is based on
the MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) 1 format, a data
compression technology.
MPEG 2 audio
A digital audio format mainly used in Europe, Australia, etc. It
provides us high-quality multi-channel audio up to 8 channels
in the same way as Dolby Digital and DTS. It is based on the
MPEG 2 format, a data compression technology improved
more than MPEG 1.
Playback control
This function is recorded on a Video CD, version 2.0. Pictures,

Region number or mark of discs which
this player can play back
To remove a disc from its storage case, open the case and
then press down at the center; with a finger through the
center hole and the outer edges held as shown in the
illustration, lift the disc out carefully.
Always handle the disc with care so that its surface is not
scratched.
Discs are not subjected to wear during play, but damage to
the disc surface when the disc is being handled can
adversely affect the disc’s play.
Discs are not affected by small particles of dust or
fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so they should
be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe
with a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the center.
Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of
disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any
other chemical-based liquid, because such substances might
irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature or
high humidity for a long period of time, because these might
warp or otherwise damage the disc.
No!
