Connecting to audiovisual equipment
Explanation of jacks and cables The jacks on the back of your receiver (pictured left) and the cables shown below are used to connect to other components.
The video jacks are OUT jacks, which need to be connected to IN jacks on the TV or monitor you're connecting to (so the video content goes from the receiver to the screen). The audio jacks are IN jacks, which need to be connected to OUT jacks on the component you're connecting to, so the sound from the component comes into the receiver (and out through the speakers).
Composite video cable
S-VIDEO cable
Video cables
Composite video cable (included)
The basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) is also referred to as composite video. Usually the video cable is bundled with the audio cables (white and red).
S-VIDEO cable (not included)
The S-VIDEO(separate video) jack provides better picture quality than composite video (the VIDEO jack) because the color is kept separate from the black and white part of the video signal. If you are using S-video, you must connect the audio jacks to get sound. If you use S-video to connect to another component, you must choose the S-Video option in the Video menu (see page 20).
Component video cable
Component video cables Pr, Pb, Y) (not included)
The Pr, Pb, Y jacks provide optimum picture quality by separating the video signal into three parts. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables (yellow) for the connection. You can also buy bundled component video cables that are color-coded to match the Y, Pb, Pr inputs (green, blue and red). If you use component video to connect to another component, you must choose the Component option in the Video menu (see page 20).
Note: If your television is a high definition television, use the DVD player's progressive scan output to get the highest possible video resolution. Set the Progressive Scan option in the Display menu to On (see page 20).
Note: If one of the devices is not working, check that all the cables have been inserted properly into the jacks.
Audio cables (red and white)
Audio cables (not included)
AUDIO L (left) and R (right)
These jacks and cables are often color-coded (red for right audio, and white for left audio). You must connect audio cables to the AUDIO L and R jacks if you are using S-video.
Note: If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white L/ Mono) audio jack on the TV and don't connect the right audio part of the cable.

Connections and Setup
Connecting the speakers
Six speakers are provided with the unit (2 front, 1 center, 2 rear, 1 subwoofer). To achieve good surround effects, all six speakers need to be connected to the receiver.
One speaker wire is attached with each speaker. Speaker wires are color-coded to match the terminals.
Connect the speaker wire from the back of each speaker to the corresponding color terminal at the back of the unit. Press down the tab to open the terminal and insert the wire (1). Release the tab to lock wire in the terminal (2). Do the same for center speaker, rear speakers and the subwoofer.
Note: When connecting the speakers, make sure the polarities ("+" speaker wire to "+" on the receiver) of speaker wires and terminals match. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted. Do not ground the output line, it will damage the speaker.

Positioning speakers
1
1 Left, Right (Front Speakers)
Front speakers carry primarily music and sound effects.
2 2 Center
In surround mode, the center speaker carries most of the
dialog as well as music and effects. It should be set between
1
the left and right speakers.
3
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
3 Surround (Rear Speakers)
The rear speakers' overall sound balance should be as close
as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to
establish an evenly distributed sound field.
Subwoofer
A subwoofer is designed to reproduce powerful low bass effects (explosions, the rumble of spaceships, etc.) which dramatically heighten the action on the screen.

2/28/05, 10:35 AM
Connections and Setup
Magnetic shielding
Speakers placed less than two feet from the TV set must be magnetically shielded in order to prevent picture distortion. Front and center speakers provided with this unit are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set.
Note: It is not recommended to place the rear speakers and subwoofer near the TV set.
Front speaker placement
Follow the suggestions for speaker placement below to get the best results.
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
Alignment Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slightly behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not ahead of them.
Angle Place the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree angle with your favorite viewing position to duplicate the soundtrack mixer's perspective.
Courtesy Dolby Laboratories
Height
The mid- and high-frequency drivers of the three front speakers should be as close as possible to the same height. This often requires placing the center speaker directly on top (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.
Preferred surround placement
Location
If possible, place surround speakers to either side of the listening area, not behind it.
Height
If space permits, install surround speakers 2-3 feet above viewers. This helps to minimize localization effects.
Aiming
Aim surround speakers straight across the room, not down at viewers, to help create a more open, spacious surround sound field.
Alternative Surround Placement
Rear wall If rear wall mounting is the only choice, aim the speakers at each other (A), towards the front (B) or towards the sidewalls (C, D). Experiment with placement until sounds seem to surround you, rather than come from behind you.

2/28/05, 10:35 AM
Connections and Setup
No adjacent walls Surround speakers can go on stands facing each other to approximate sidewall mounting (A), or to the sides or rear of the viewing area, aimed upwards; they can go right on the floor, or preferably, a few feet off the floor such as on end tables (B).
Test tone/Channel balance
Channel balance Your receiver is equipped with a test signal generator for balancing the channels. As the signal "travels" from channel to channel, adjust the level controls until each channel plays at the same loudness level (see page 21).
Level adjustment and surround channel level expectation Even though you adjust the surround channel to be as loud as the others on the test signal, on actual program material the surround channel is usually much lower than the front. Don't re-adjust the surround level; program producers use surround for subtle atmospherics and ambience, and only rarely for special effects.

mp3/WMA Files and JPEG Files
Playing mp3/WMA Files or displaying JPEG Files
mp3/WMA is an audio file format which compresses recorded music. The main advantage of the mp3/WMA format is that CD-quality music tracks can be stored on a personal computer in userfriendly compressed files.
JPEG files are image files. Make sure that they have a resolution of less than 2 megapixels.
Note: The time taken for the contents of the disc to be displayed varies according to the size and number of JPEG files on the disc. If nothing is displayed after a few minutes, the file sizes may be too large. Reduce the files' resolution and write another disc.
Before inserting a disc, make sure it is compatible with the player.

Disc Formats you can play
In order to ensure playback, discs must conform with DVD, CD, VCD or SVCD standards. This unit may not play some recordings or files due to differences in recording formats, software used & Disc types.
DVD-Video
Digital video discs - 12 cm, single or double sided, single or dual layer. DVDs are highdensity optical discs on which high quality picture and audio are recorded by means of
digital signals.
DVD+Rewritable
DVD-R,DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW
Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording only), DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs (rewritable), depending on the DVD writer and discs used. Recordings using DVD-R and DVD-RW discs must be made in Video DVD mode. Recordings using DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with the specifications for DVD+RW
discs with a 4.7 GB capacity.
VCD - Video Compact Disc
CD on which you can record up to 74 min. of VHS quality video associated with still images, audio tracks and interactive menus.
SVCD - Super Video Compact Disc
Most SVCDs comply with the IEC62107 standard. SVCDs can be used to record up to 70 minutes of digital sound and images in accordance with MPEG-2 standards for video and MPEG-1
standards for audio.
Audio CDs
Audio CDs (12 cm).
CD-R, CD-RW
Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW discs (rewritable).
CD-Rs written during a multisession recording can be played, provided that the session has ended before the disc is played (depending on the write software). However, depending on the condition of the CD-writer, computer and the disc used, you may find that not all discs will play. When playing a CD-R disc, it is normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc before starting to play.
If the disc is not recognized after a period of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and insert it again.
· Do not use its full capacity.
· CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty.
· Use reliable, good-quality CD write software.
· Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.
Windows Media and Windows logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.
mp3 files
CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio files in mp3 format. For CD-R mp3 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R, along with the comments below:
· Your mp3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format. ISO 9660 format and Joliet mp3 files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows, as well as with Apple Mac.
· mp3 filenames should not exceed 8 characters, and should end with the ".mp3" extension. General name format: Title.mp3. When composing your title, use 10 characters or less, no spaces, and avoid the use of special characters including (. , / , \ , = ,+).
· The total number of files on a disc should be less than 400.
· Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 kB/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording mp3 files. Sound quality with mp3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose. Obtaining audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to mp3 format, of at least 128 kB/sec and up to 160 kB/sec. Choosing higher rates, such as 192 kB/sec or more, only rarely produces even better sound quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates below 128 kB/sec will not play properly.
· Do not record copyright-protected mp3 files. "Securized" files are encrypted and codeprotected to prevent illegal copying.
Important: The above recommendations does not guarantee that the DVD player will play mp3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. Certain technologies and methods for mp3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (i.e. degraded sound quality and in some cases, inability of the player to read the file).
JPEG files
CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG files. Certain JPEG files, including progressive JPEG files, cannot be read by this player.
The total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 650. Make sure that files have the ".jpg" extension. Files without the ".jpg" extension will not be able to be read by the player - even though the files are shown as
JPEG images on your computer.
WMA files
CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio files in WMA (Windows Media Audio) format. Please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above.
