Listening to an External Source
If other audio component(s) are connected to this system
(see page 17) You can hear the external source through
the speakers of this system.
1. You can press the TV or Video button to select the
desired external source directly.
2. Operate the unit which is connected to this system.
3. Adjust the volume level by pressing the VOL 5/6
button on the front panel or remote control of this
system. This system has a built in Dolby Pro Logic
decoder, so you can enjoy the live sound in Dolby
Surround.
Night Playback Mode (Front Panel Only)
This feature provides for additional Dynamic Range
Compression during playback of a DVD movie. Press the
NIGHT button on the front panel to switch the Night
function ‘On’. The sound level will be reduced but you will
still have the proper balance of high and low frequencies
to maintain the realism of the special effects. Press the
night button again to switch the Night function ‘Off’ and
resume the normal sound level. This feature is useful
when you watch a DVD movie late at night and do not wish
to disturb others.
DSP Mode Selection
Pressing the DSP Mode button during playback of a DVD
or CD will cycle through all of the various Surround Sound
modes that may be included on that particular movie disc
or audio CD. If the disc you are playing does not include
any additional DSP modes the ‘Prohibited’ icon will
appear when you press the DSP button.
Speaker Configuration Setup (Front Panel
Only)
As long as you are using the 6 original speakers that were
supplied with this system, you should not change the
Speaker Configuration Setup. The default Speaker
Configuration setup sends only the mid-range and high
frequencies to the satellite speakers and all the low
frequency bass sounds to the subwoofer. If you ever
decide to replace your front left/right, center or rear
satellite speakers with larger full range speakers that can
handle low frequency bass sounds you would use the
Speaker Configuration setup button and the Select button
on the front panel to change the front left/right, center, or
rear settings from “Small” to “Large”. If you change the
front left/right, center, and rear speaker setup from “Small”
to “Large”, the system will automatically send low frequency
bass sounds to these speakers as well. In this case you
could also use the Speaker Configuration setup and
Select buttons to shut the subwoofer ‘Off’, and to adjust
the rear speaker delay from 15ms to 30ms.
Headphone Jack
Connect a set of stereo headphones to this jack for
private listening without disturbing others. The speakers
are automatically disconnected when headphones are
in use. You must use a headphone with a full size plug
(¼”/6.25mm diameter).
ã When using headphones always set the volume
control to a low level before putting the headphones
on. Then put the headphones on and very gradually
increase the volume to a comfortable listening
level.
