If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside the Compact AV System and cause damage to the lenses. When you first install the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for about 30 minutes before operating the unit. [. . . ] Multi channel surround formats are downmixed to two channels. This allows you to play any source using only the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.

This mode is ideal for watching musicals or classic films where music is featured in the soundtrack.

Virtual Multi Dimension Creates 5 sets of virtual speakers surrounding the listener from a single pair of actual surround speakers. Screen Depth Matching In a movie theatre, sound seems to come from inside the image reflected on the movie screen. This element creates the same sensation in your listening room by shifting the sound of the front speakers "into" the screen. In this mode, you can enjoy sound effects or dialogue, as you would in a movie theatre, even at low volume. With BASS LEVEL on, bass frequencies are effectively reinforced. Each time you press BASS LEVEL, the bass level changes in the following sequence: BASS OFF t BASS 1 t BASS 2 t BASS OFF. To turn off the sound effect Press NIGHT MODE on the remote again or BASS LEVEL on the remote repeatedly until "BASS OFF" appears in the front panel display.

You can activate these two sound effects at the same time. If various angles (multi-angles) for a scene are recorded on a DVD, you can change the viewing angle.

Select the angle number using the number buttons or X/x, then press ENTER. Press DVD DISPLAY repeatedly until the Control Menu is turned off.
