Operating the PHC-5 System
Compatible recordings and media
• The Virtual Surround system on the PHC-5 system produces the best effect with recordings (media) that use the “Dolby*
Surround” system. These media include Hi-Fi VHS, laser discs, and DVD video, which carry the mark. The
Virtual Surround system also produces a great effect with normal stereo recordings, although some of them may seem to
have a narrower stereo image or produce unnatural sound. In this case, use Stereo mode.
• Some stereo recordings use special recording techniques or special processing, such as virtual processing. The Virtual Surround
system may sometimes over-enhance or reduce the effect too greatly with these recordings. In this case, use Stereo mode.
• The Virtual Surround system produces no effect with monaural recordings.

(Continued to the next page)
Lower the TV volume level to minimum and turn on the power to the PHC-5
1 Turn on the power to the TV.
About three seconds after the TV sends out the audio signal, the power is

turns off. The “TV” indicator in the “TV/VIDEO/AUX” section lights up.
To listen to the audio of a device connected to the VIDEO/AUX
jack, press the STANDBY/ON button on the unit or the POWER
button on the remote controller, then press the INPUT button on
the unit or the INPUT SELECTOR button on the remote con-
troller to turn the “VIDEO” or “AUX” indicator on.
2 Adjust the volume level.
When you operate one of the VOLUME buttons (either on the unit or on the
remote controller), the LEVEL meter lights up, indicating the current level.
The LEVEL meter turns off five seconds after you release the button.
