Speaker Setup: The level of each speaker can be set from -10dB to +10dB and the delay time (measured in feet) can be adjusted as follows:

• Front Speakers: from 3 to 40 feet in 1 foot increments
• Center Speaker: from 5 feet closer than the front speakers to the same setting as the front speakers in 1 foot increments
• Rear Speakers: from 15 feet closer than the front speakers to the same setting as the front speakers in 1 foot increments
• Subwoofer: not adjustable
• Test Tone: used to set the levels of the satellite speakers; sub should be done with music playing

Audio D/A converter: This unit has a 96kHz/24-bit D/A converter that will allow it to play back video DVDs recorded with 96kHz/24-bit audio.

Bass Boost: From the remote, the bass boost circuit can be engaged with any of the input sources.

Night Mode: When playing a Dolby Digital source, the night mode lessens the dynamic range thereby lowering the volume for the louder passages. This is often used for late night listening so no one else in the house is disturbed.

Resume Play: This feature allows you to resume playback of a disc from the point where you last stopped. The stopping point will be lost if the tray is opened or the power is turned off.

Program Play: Up to 32 chapters or tracks can be programmed and played in any order.

Random Play: When playing an audio CD, you can play the tracks in random order. 

Repeat Play: When playing a DVD, you can repeat the current title, current chapter, or the entire disc. When playing an audio CD, you can repeat the current track or the entire disc. In addition, you can repeat Program Play and Shuffle Play. Note: When repeat and random are used together, the random order is set during the first play cycle, then the disc is repeated in the same (random) order as the first time. A/B repeat allows you to mark two points on the disc and repeat the section between those points.

Scan Search: When playing a DVD, there are four fast-play speeds available in either direction. When playing a CD, there are three fast-play speeds available in either direction. 

Slow Motion: When playing a DVD, you may move forward or backward through the program being played in one of four slow motion speeds (1/16, 1/8, 1/4 or 1/2), or frame by frame. When playing a Video CD, you may move forward through the program being played in one of three slow motion speeds (1/8, 1/4 or 1/2).

Multi-Angle Display: This function allows you to choose the viewing angle of scenes that were shot from a number of different angles. This function is limited to DVDs recorded with multiple camera angles.

Parental Control: This unit allows you to set playback restrictions for DVDs using Parental Control. Parental Control allows you to restrict playback according to a predetermined level. You can select a parental control rating from 0-8, which is protected by a 4-digit password.

Tuner: This system has a digital AM/FM Tuner. You can store up to 30 FM and AM station presets so that you always have easy access to your favorite stations without having to tune them in manually each time. FM tuning is done in 0.1MHz steps and AM tuning is done in 10 kHz steps.

Language Setup:

• On-Screen Display: allows you to select English, Spanish, or French as the on-screen display language

• Subtitle (DVD only): Allows you to select English, Spanish, French, or other (for which there is a list of 124 other language codes) as the subtitle language

Screen Setup:

• TV Type (DVD only): allows you to select 4:3 Letter Box (automatically displays a wide screen DVD as letterboxed on a normal aspect ratio TV), 4:3 Pan Scan (automatically converts a wide screen DVD to Pan and Scan when supported by the DVD, otherwise it is played in letter box format), or 16:9 (used when using a wide-screen TV with a 16:9 ratio)

Speakers

Subwoofer: The subwoofer uses a front-firing 8" woofer in a bass-reflex enclosure and is powered by a 40-watt amplifier built into the receiver/DVD player. The subwoofer is black and the driver is covered by a non-removable, black cloth grill.

Satellites: The front left and right satellites and the center channel have 4" cone midranges and 1" cone tweeters. The surround satellites have 4" full-range cone drivers. Each satellite has an acoustic suspension enclosure, a set of spring clip terminals and is covered by a non-removable, silver colored cloth grille.

Satellite Mounting: Each satellite (all five) has two keyhole slots on the back, allowing you to mount the speaker on the wall vertically or horizontally. If you do not wish to mount the satellites on the wall, you can place them on any flat surface.

Video-Shielding: The satellites are video-shielded and the subwoofer is not.
