DOLBY DIGITAL /DTS


Dolby Digital is a sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc. that gives movie theatre ambience to audio output when the unit is connected to a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel processor or amplifier. This unit automatically recognizes DVDs that are encoded with Dolby Digital. Not all Dolby Digital sources are recorded with 6 channels. Some sources marked Dolby Digital may be recorded in Dolby Surround, a 2 channel system. Look for this logo on your DVD unit. This unit does not decode DTS Digital Surround signals. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround decoder system must be connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the main unit.

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. Dolby and the double-D
symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories. DTS and DTS Digital Out are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

PREPARATION
You must connect a TV to the system in order to use the systems DVD player. You can connect other audio and audio/visual components to the system in order to use the Home Theater Audio Systems surround sound capabilities. Notes: The system comes with one set of audio/video cables. Your local RadioShack store sells a wide variety of audio/video cables if you need additional cables to connect components. AUDIO OUT L/R only works in DVD mode. The low frequency response of AUX OUT is dependent on the 5.1 CH/2.1 CH setting and whether the subwoofer is on or off.

Coaxial Antenna Jack


Some TVs do not have an RCA or S-Video jack, they only have a coaxial antenna jack. In this case, you must purchase an RF modulator (not supplied, available at your local RadioShack store).

CONNECTING A VCR
1. Using the supplied audio/video cable, connect the yellow plug from the VIDEO OUT jack on your unit to VIDEO IN jack on your TV. 2. Connect the supplied speakers and subwoofer to your DVD unit. See Connecting the Speakers & Subwoofer on Page 7

CONNECTING YOUR TV
The unit can be connected to your TV in several different ways, depending on the design of your TV.

RCA Audio/Video Jacks


Using the supplied audio/video cable, connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO OUT L/R jacks to the VIDEO and left/right AUDIO IN jacks on your TV.

3. Use a video cable (not supplied) to connect the VIDEO IN (VCR) jack on your unit to the VIDEO OUT jack on your VCR. 4. Use an audio cable (not supplied) to connect the AUDIO IN R/L jacks on your unit to the AUDIO OUT jacks on your VCR.

CONNECTING OTHER AUDIO EQUIPMENT


Use the supplied audio/video cable to connect the AUDIO OUT L/R jacks on your unit to the AUDIO IN jack or use a coaxial digital audio cable (not supplied) to connect the coaxial cable to your other equipment. Do not connect the yellow video plug.

Note: If you want the sound to come from the supplied speakers, you do not need to connect the audio cable.

Listening to Other Audio Equipment S-Video Jack


1. Turn on the unit. 1. Use an S-Video cable (not supplied) to connect the S-VIDEO (DVD) jack on your unit to the S-VIDEO IN jack on your TV. 2. Turn on your audio equipment and follow the instructions included with it to select the AUDIO IN or DIGITAL IN function.

Analog Connection

2. Use the supplied audio/video cable to connect the AUDIO OUT L/R jacks to the AUDIO IN jacks on your TV. Do not connect the yellow video plug.

Digital Connection

CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS & SUBWOOFER


The speaker cords have been color-coded to simplify connection. Plug the POSITIVE (+) and NEGATIVE (-) ends of each speaker wire into the corresponding jacks on the rear of the unit, matching the color tube on the end of the speaker wire to the color-coded connector. Connect each of the speaker wires to the front, rear, and center speakers respectively.

Notes: If the external equipment is a television and this audio system is close to it, you may experience interference if the TUNER function is selected while the television is working. When you have selected TUNER function, sound only comes from the front left, right, and subwoofer speakers. While the VCR is connected to the DVD unit, make sure to set your VCR to stereo mode, otherwise the activated speakers may be different than expected. See To Select the Listening Channel on Page 12. Due to copyright protection, DVD movies cannot be copied. If you copy a DVD movie onto a videotape, the resulting copy will be unclear, with poor sound quality. This is not caused by a defective DVD system. When using the VCR, press FUNCTION on the remote control or front panel until AV IN appears.

DISC FORMATS
DISC FUNCTION OR OPERATION THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE
When " appears on the TV screen, this indicates that the function or operation attempted is not available at that time. This occurs because the DVD manufacturer determines the specific functions. Certain functions may not be available on some discs. Be sure to read the documentation provided with the disc. Notes: This unit supports 2-channel (L/R) audio and 5.1ch (Multichannel) MPEG audio 1/2 (only when the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT coaxial jack is used for connection). It does not support 7.1 channel MPEG Audio Version 2.0. When playing back a CD-G (Graphics) or CD EXTRA disc, the audio portion is played, but the graphic images are not shown.

TITLE, CHAPTER AND TRACKS


DVDs are divided into titles and chapters. If the disc has more than one movie on it, each movie is a separate title. Chapters are sections of titles. Audio CDs are divided into tracks. A track is usually one song on an audio CD. Note: Numbers identify each title, chapter, and track on a disc. Most discs have these numbers recorded on them, but some do not.

BEFORE YOU START


INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE CONTROL
Your remote control requires two AA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries. Cautions: Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries. 1. Press the tab on the battery compartment cover and lift it up. 2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and ) marked inside.

3. Replace the cover. When the remote control stops operating properly, replace the batteries. Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them. Caution: If you do not plan to use the remote control for a month or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

USING THE REMOTE CONTROL


Point the Remote Control at the remote sensor located on the unit. When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared remote sensor may be degraded, causing unreliable operation. The recommended effective distance for remote operation is about 16 feet (5 meters).

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. In the event of a product defect during the warranty period, take the product and the RadioShack sales receipt as proof of purchase date to any RadioShack store. RadioShack will, at its option, unless otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the defect by product repair without charge for parts and labor; (b) replace the product with one of the same or similar design; or (c) refund the purchase price. All replaced parts and products, and products on which a refund is made, become the property of RadioShack. New or reconditioned parts and products may be used in the performance of warranty service. Repaired or replaced parts and products are warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. You will be charged for repair or replacement of the product made after the expiration of the warranty period. This warranty does not cover: (a) damage or failure caused by or attributable to acts of God, abuse, accident, misuse, improper or abnormal usage, failure to follow instructions, improper installation or maintenance, alteration, lightning or other incidence of excess voltage or current; (b) any repairs other than those provided by a RadioShack Authorized Service Facility; (c) consumables such as fuses or batteries; (d) cosmetic damage; (e) transportation, shipping or insurance costs; or (f) costs of product removal, installation, set-up service adjustment or reinstallation. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. RadioShack Customer Relations, 200 Taylor Street, 6th Floor, Fort Worth, TX 76102
