Installation and maintenance
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this system for years to come, so please
bear in mind the following points when choosing a location:
Do...
Use in a well-ventilated room.
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.
Don't...
Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including
near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.
Place on a window sill or other place where the system will be
exposed to direct sunlight.
Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your
stereo system that becomes hot in use.
Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference
— especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.
Use in a kitchen or other room where the system may be exposed to
smoke or steam.
Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth — this may prevent
proper cooling of the system unit.
Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to
support all four of the system unit's feet.

Surround sound formats
Below is a brief description of the main surround sound formats you'll
find on DVDs, satellite, cable and terrestrial broadcasts, and video
cassettes.
Dolby
The Dolby technologies are explained below. See www.dolby.com for
more detailed information.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a multichannel digital audio coding system widely used
in cinemas, and in the home for DVD and digital broadcast soundtracks.
It can deliver up to six discrete audio channels, comprising five full range
channels and a special LFE (low frequency effects) channel used mainly
for deep, rumbling sound effects; hence the term "5.1-channel" Dolby
Digital.
In addition to the format features above, Dolby Digital decoders offer
downmixing for compatibility with mono, stereo and Dolby Pro Logic
audio from a number of bit rates and channels. Another feature, called
Dialog Normalization, attenuates programs based on the average level
of dialog in a program relative to its peak level (also known as Dialnorm)
in order to achieve uniform playback level.
Dolby Pro Logic II and Dolby Surround
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is an improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic II (and
Dolby Pro Logic) decoding system. Using the innovative "steering logic"
circuit, this system extracts surround sound from sources as follows:
• Dolby Pro Logic – 4.1 channel sound (mono surround) from any
stereo source
• Dolby Pro Logic II – 5.1 channel sound (stereo surround) from any
stereo source
With two channel sources, the ".1" subwoofer channel is generated by
bass management in the receiver.
Dolby Surround is an encoding system which embeds surround sound
information within a stereo soundtrack, which a Dolby Pro Logic
decoder can then use for enhanced surround listening with greater
sound detail.
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus is the next-generation audio technology for all high-
definition programming and media. It combines the efficiency to meet
future broadcast demands with the power and flexibility to realize the full
audio potential expected in the upcoming high-definition era. Built on
Dolby Digital, the multi-channel audio standard for DVD and HD
broadcasts worldwide, Dolby Digital Plus was designed for the next-
generation A/V receivers but remains fully compatible with all current A/
V receivers.
Dolby Digital Plus delivers multi-channel audio programs of up to 7.1
channels (*) and supports multiple programs in a single encoded
bitstream with the maximum bit rate potential of up to 6 Mbps and the
maximum bit rate performance of up to 3 Mbps on HD DVD and 1.7
