INSTALLATION TEST
Attention: before doing anything else, make sure that the VOLUME button on the subwoofer is not set
to the maximum value.
1. Press the POWER button on the subwoofer: a green LED lights up.
2. Press the POWER button on the remote control: the red LED lights up in green.
3. 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).
