Safety Precaution - Make sure that all of your equipment remains unplugged from the AC mains until
you have made all the connections.
Step 3 - Connect the speakers to your amplier(s) so you will be able to hear sound.
Step 4 - If you are using a new DVD player or had previously congured it with 2-channel (RCA type)
analog audio connections, you may need to congure the output to digital audio. In your DVD player’s
AUDIO SETUP MENU, you must set the digital output to BITSTREAM. If this is not set correctly, the
DMC-1 cannot decode the digital information for discrete surround sound playback.
Step 5 - The DMC-1 has a bass management system which allows the damaging bass from each full
range channel to be redirected to a subwoofer. Larger speakers can typically play the full frequency
range, however you may choose to have smaller speakers (such as satellite types) can have the
bass redirected to the subwoofer(s). Make a note of which speakers you would like to play the full
frequency range (Large) and those which will have the bass redirected (Small). Also make a note of
the approximate distance of each speaker from your listening position.
Step 6 - Turn on the DMC-1
Step 7 - Turn on your ampliers, TV and other source equipment.
Step 8 - Press the remote MAIN button - a few times to make sure you are on the Main Menu in the
remote’s display.
Step 9 - Set the remote to operate the DMC-1 by pressing the EMO button.
Step 10 - Turn down the DMC-1 volume and use the remote or front panel input selector to select
a video source.
Step 11 - Play the source, and bring up the volume to a low level. Make sure the video can be seen
in the TV monitor.
Step 12 - Stop or pause the source.
. The DMC-1 now needs to be setup correctly to suit your speakers and system. The SETTINGS (OSD)
menu is used to enter and make three main adjustments:
· Speaker Size
· Speaker Calibration
· Speaker Position
This setup needs to be done when you use your system for the rst
time, or if you change anything such as the ampliers or speakers, or
the speaker position. The calibration is also a good way to check that
your system is working correctly. These adjustments are made using
the OSD as follows:
Step 13 - Press MENU on the remote to
bring up the MAIN Menu of the OSD on
your TV.
Step 14 -Use the joystick pad left, right, up and down buttons
to navigate through the menus in the next steps.
