[. . . ] You can take them off and use the openings situated on the back of each speaker to attach them to the wall. Note 2: use the speakers with longer cables as your rear speakers, making use of their longer cables to position them at the back of your living room. 2/10 The position of the subwoofer is not all that important. We do recommend, however, that you place it on the floor (next to the TV cabinet, for example), to enable a better distribution of low frequencies. 3/10 HOTLINE NEDERLAND ITALIANO FRANÇAIS The rear speakers should be placed either side of the listening position and slightly behind it (but not at the back of it). Direct the speakers towards the listening position and not towards the television. [. . . ] Plug the subwoofer’s power supply into a wall socket. 7/10 HOTLINE NEDERLAND ITALIANO FRANÇAIS PORTUGUÊS ESPAÑOL DEUTSCH ENGLISH • If your peripheral device is equipped with a digital coaxial output (DVD player, cable or satellite television): - Set the DIGITAL INPUT SW switch on the decoder to the CO position. - Connect your peripheral device to the COAXIAL plug on the decoder, using the coaxial cable provided. INSTALLATION TEST Attention: before doing anything else, make sure that the VOLUME button on the subwoofer is not set to the maximum value. Press the POWER button on the subwoofer: a green LED lights up. Press the POWER button on the remote control: the red LED lights up in green. Press the TEST button on the remote control. A sound signal is emitted by each of the 6 elements of your 5. 1 kit in succession. The indicator light on the front of the decoder moves according to the speaker being tested (L for the front-left speaker, R for the front-right speaker, SL for the rear-left speaker, SR for the rear-right speaker, C for the center speaker and SUB for the subwoofer). In this way, you can check that the speakers have been properly connected and are in the correct positions. If any problems arise during the test, verify that the speakers have been connected properly as described above. USING THE 5. 1 SOUND SYSTEM HOME CINEMA Insert an audio-visual disk or cassette (DVD, game CD or DVD, audio CD, VHS cassette) and/or turn on your television set. The decoder automatically identifies the audio format and indicates the mode selected: • STEREO LED lit up: the decoder is in stereo (2 channel) mode; only the front satellites (front-left and front-right) and the subwoofer are active. The bass sound obtained through filtering is less realistic. • PROLOGIC LED lit up: the decoder is in Dolby Pro Logic mode. The decoder produces a spatial sound from a stereo signal using the 5 satellites (front-left, center, front-right, rear-left, rear-right) and the subwoofer; however, the rear-left and rear-right sounds are identical (monophonic effect) and have an upper-register limit of 7KHz. With Dolby Pro Logic 2, the rear-left and rear-right are differentiated (stereophonic effect), the upper-register limit is 20KHz and bass sounds are still obtained by filtering, although with a greater degree of realism. Note: the PROLOGIC LED indicates that the decoder has detected either a Dolby Surround or Dolby Pro Logic 2 signal. DIGITAL LED lit up: the decoder is in Dolby Digital (5. 1) mode; all speakers are operating at their maximum capacity, each of them emitting a completely distinct signal. Low frequency effects (LFE) are reproduced exclusively by the subwoofer with an unrivalled degree of realism. Note: in digital mode, the sound signal always comes from a source using an optical or coaxial output (DVD player, PS2 and Xbox consoles, cable or satellite television). • 8/10 The SURROUND MODE button enables you to switch from one audio mode to another. In this way, you can enjoy spatial sound even with a stereo source, thanks to Dolby® Pro Logic mode. Example: you are listening to an audio CD; the STEREO LED is lit up. Press the SURROUND MODE button to switch to Dolby Pro Logic mode: the signal emitted by the front speakers is also reproduced on the rear and center speakers. ADJUSTING THE VOLUME There are two ways of adjusting the volume: via the subwoofer and via the decoder. The “master” setting is on the decoder.
