English Preparations Inserting batteries into the remote control 1 Open the battery compartment. 2 Place the batteries in the compartment with the correct polarity as indicated by "+" and "-" symbols. 3 Close the cover. CAUTION! - Remove batteries if they are exhausted or if the remote is not to be used for a long time. - Do not use old and new or different types of batteries in combination. - Batteries contain chemical substances, so they should be disposed off properly. Switching on the system 1 After completing all the connections, connect the AC power cord of the player to the power outlet. 2 Press STANDBY ON to switch on the last selected source. 3 Press the SOURCE button (or TV/AV, DISC, TUNER or AUX on the remote) to select the input source. ➜ The selected source is displayed. G For viewing a DVD or VCD disc, you have to connect a TV (refer to "Connections - Connecting a TV".) Switch on the TV and set to the correct video in channel (for example, EXT1, EXT2, AV1, AV2.) Refer to your TV instruction manual for details. ➜ The default screen appears on the TV. Setting up the surround sound system You must connect all the speakers and set up the system properly in order to enjoy the Digital Cinema experience at home (refer to "Connections - Connecting the speakers and passive subwoofer".) You will have the feeling of being in the middle of the action because sound is coming from everywhere around you. The subwoofer can enhance the bass performance of your system dramatically. IMPORTANT! Please sit at your usual listening position in order to set up the speaker balance correctly. Placing the speakers To obtain the best surround effect, place the speakers as follows. 1 Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position. 2 Place the center speaker above or below the TV so the center channel's sound is localized. 3 Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level facing each other or mounted on the wall. 4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV. Notes: - To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to your TV. - If the rear surround speakers are installed farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers, it will weaken the surround effect. - All speakers should be securely installed to prevent accidents and improve sound quality. 12 PREPARATIONS
