choose the OP or (Optical) or CO (Coaxial) input.
During MP3 or CD playback on a DVD player, the sound will be repro-
duced in the two-channel PCM format.
2. AUX1 / AUX2 source
To reproduce sound from a CD or DVD player (when connected using an
RCA cable), press the INPUT button and choose the AU (AUX2) or CD
(AUX1) source.

This system has built-in Dolby Digital (AC3)/Dolby Prologic.
SOUND EFFECTS:
In order to choose one of these sound effects (Dolby Pro Logic, 3 STEREO
or STEREO), press the SURROUND MODE (7) (4) button.
In Dolby Pro Logic mode you can choose the center speaker’s sound
mode.
Normal:
(all six speakers and their indicator are active).
This mode should be used when a compact speaker, which cannot pro-
duce bass sounds lower than 100 Hertz, is used as the center speaker.
Low-frequency signals will be distributed to the front left and right speak-
ers.
Wide:
(all six speakers and their indicator are active).
This mode should be used if the center speaker is the same size as the
front left and right speakers and can reproduce sound frequencies lower
then 100 Hertz.
Phantom:
(five speaker indicators are active, the center speaker is turned off).
This mode should be chosen if the center speaker is no being used.
The center channel will be split between the front left and right speakers.
If the 3 Stereo mode is chosen, the front left and front right speakers, the
subwoofer, and the corresponding indicators should be active.
In Stereo mode, the front left and front right speakers are active, as well
as the subwoofer and the corresponding indicators.
The Dolby Pro Logic mode excludes the use of the NORMAL, WIDE, and
PHANTOM center channel modes.
Each of these modes stipulates a set of parameters to be used for the
center channel (echo).
Each of these modes has its own signal delay (or echo).
- NORMAL provides true Dolby Pro Logic sound.
- WIDE allows you to achieve different acoustical divisions of the center
channel.
- PHANTOM turns off the center channel.
- The front right and left channels can imitate the sound of the center
channel.
- The center speaker is not used.
Pressing the EFFECT button on the remote control unit allows you to
choose from the following sound effects: Movie, Classical, Panorama or
2.1.

2. The volume of each of the six speakers can be set independently by
pressing the SPEAKER SETUP button (3). After the indicator for the
corresponding speaker begins to blink, set the desired volume level
using the volume regulator knob (1) within the bandwidth of +/-6 dB.

While the corresponding indicator is blinking, you can set the volume
level of the test signal. Press the TEST TONE button (8) (5) repeatedly
