reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Positioning Speakers
Speaker placement plays an important role in the reproduction of Surround sound. The placement of the speakers varies depending
on the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room. The illustration below shows an example of a layout for standard
speaker placement. Refer to this example when you position the speakers in order to experience the best of Surround sound.

Standard speaker placement

For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be installed. If a center

 Connecting to AC OUTLET on the Rear Panel
You can connect the power cord of another audio/video component to the AC outlet (AC OUTLET) on the rear panel of the
DVD Receiver.
The power supply to AC OUTLET stops:
• When the main power of the DVD Receiver is switched off (see next page) or
• When the DVD Receiver is in standby mode (see next page).
Using this function, you can turn on and turn off the audio/video component connected to AC OUTLET with this DVD
Receiver if you leave the component’s power switch on.
Before connecting
• Make sure that the power supply voltage and frequency of the component to be connected match the power requirements indicated on the label
above the AC outlet.
• Make sure that the power consumption of the component to be connected does not exceed the power supply capacity indicated on the label above
the AC outlet.

 Enjoying the Sound Effects
The surround sound of the DVD Receiver enables you to enjoy the presence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room.
Before using any sound effect, make sure the Speaker Setup configurations have been set (see page 18).
The speaker configuration is very important for the surround sound. See "Connecting Speakers" on page 12 and "Positioning
Speakers" on page 13.
Following are the sound systems the DVD Receiver can reproduce.

the player cannot be recognized as DTS data by the DVD Receiver
and you may hear noise instead of the proper sound.
