Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital and DTS
With its Dolby Pro Logic II decoder, the DVD receiver has the latest
surround decoder technology. It generates surround sound from the
stereo signal. However, the rear channel consists of two separate
stereo channels, whose frequency range is not restricted. This
means Pro Logic II produces a sound zone with a completely new
sense of space, location and stability.

Dolby Digital, on the other hand, is a digital sound system designed
for completely independent multi-channel audio playback. It carries
five full audio channels and a low frequency effects (LFE) channel. In
general, Dolby Digital signals can also consist of fewer than 5 chan-
nels (for example 2.0 or 3.0).
DTS Digital Surround is a digital sound system for differentiated 5.1
multi-channel audio reproduction which creates three-dimensional
surround sound effects.

If you want to set up the DVD receiver on wall shelves or in cupboards,
please ensure that the device is adequately ventilated. There must be at least
10 cm of space at the side, above and behind the device.
Please note when setting up the DVD receiver that furniture surfaces are
coated with various types of paint and plastic, which often contain chemical
additives. These additives may cause corrosion to the feet of the unit. This
may leave stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or
impossible to remove.

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the DVD re-
ceiver is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains.
Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs of the DVD receiver during
a storm.
If the DVD receiver cannot scan DVDs or CDs perfectly, use a commercially
available cleaning CD. Other cleaning methods may damage the laser
optics. Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from col-
lecting on the laser optics.

Setting up the loudspeakers
If possible, set up the front loudspeakers in line with the TV set,
angled slightly towards the listener. The listener and the speakers
should form an equilateral triangle. This creates the best stereo
effect.
Surround L
Surround R
The surround loudspeakers should be angled slightly towards each
other at a sufficient distance to the left and right behind the listener.
They should be positioned at ear height, even when wall-mounted.
Subwoofer
Front L
Set up the central loudspeaker at the midpoint between the two front
speakers, for example above or below the TV set. The best height
for the centre loudspeaker is at head height of the seated listener.
Front R
Centre
To achieve the best possible bass sound, we recommend that you set
up the subwoofer to the left or right of the front loudspeakers, in
such a way that the sound crosses the room diagonally.
When you are in the middle of the room, you may not be able to
hear the bass tone of the subwoofer sufficiently. This is caused by
what are known as standing waves, which occur between parallel
walls. In this case, simply position the subwoofer at an angle to the
wall.
Avoid placing the loudspeakers in a corner, because this over-
amplifies the bass tones.
Objects in front of the loudspeakers significantly impair the treble
tones and the stereo effect.

Connecting a television, flat screen or projector
You have three options, depending on the sockets you have on your
television or projector:
– Connecting to the Euro-AV (Scart) socket using the Euro-AV cable
supplied is the best option, because the video, audio and format
switching signals are all on the same connection.
– If your television has no Euro-AV socket, you can still achieve a
good picture quality by connecting it via the S-VIDEO OUT sockets.
– Alternatively, you can connect it using cinch cables to the VIDEO
OUT sockets for standard picture quality.

CONNECTION AND PREPARATION_________
Additional information for units sold in the UK.
Units sold in the UK are suitable for operation from a 240V ac, 50Hz mains
supply.
The range of multi-system receivers is built to work in most European coun-
tries. However, the mains plug and socket system for the UK differs from
many European countries.
This appliance has been supplied with a fitted, non-removable, approved
converter plug for use in the UK. This converter plug is fitted with a 5A rated
fuse.
In case this appliance is supplied with a moulded 2-pin Euro plug only,
which is unsuitable for UK operation, this must be cut off and immediately
disposed of. An approved 13A, 3-pin UK plug should then be fitted by a
qualified electrician.
Note:
The severed Euro plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock
hazard should it be inserted into a socket elsewhere.
If a non-rewireable 3-pin plug or a rewireable 13A (BS1363) 3-pin plug is
used, it must be fitted with a 5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse. If any
other type of plug is used it must be protected by a 5A fuse either in the
plug, or at the distribution board. If this type of plug becomes defective,
ensure that the fuse is removed before disposal, to eliminate potential shock
hazard.
If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct
type and rating (5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362) must be used and the
fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the lead and
plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse
covers should be obtained from your dealer.
Important:
The wires in the mains lead are colour coded in accordance with the follo-
wing code:
BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not cor-
respond with the coloured marking identifying terminals in your plug, pro-
ceed as follows:
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with the letter “N”
or coloured black.
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with the let-
ter “L” or coloured red.
In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal mar-
ked with the letter “E”, earth symbol “z”, coloured green, or green & yel-
low.
Replacement mains lead sets can be obtained from your local dealer, or by
contacting Grundig Consumer Relations (01788 570088)

Setting the loudspeaker configuration
Switching on
1
Switch on the DVD receiver from standby by pressing »9« on
the remote control or »ON/OFF« on the device.
Setting the distance to the listening position
Ideally, all the speakers in a home cinema system, should be set up
at equal distances from the listener. The central speaker should also
be positioned in line with the front speakers. If these preconditions
are met, you do not need to set a time delay for the sound, because
the default setting is »0ms«.
However, central and front loudspeakers are often set up closer to
the listener. In this case, the sound must be electronically delayed by
a fraction of a second. This is done using the sound time delay func-
tion.
If the central speaker is no more than 50 cm from the line between
the front speakers, the setting is not necessary. If the distance is
greater, you must find out the difference between the distances from
the listener to the front speakers and from the listener to the central
speaker. Enter the travel time of the sound in milliseconds (ms)
(»0ms« to »5ms«). One metre roughly corresponds to 3 milli-
seconds.
When using surround speakers, you must also find out the differ-
ence between the distances from the listener to the front speakers
and from the listener to the surround speakers. Enter the travel time
of the sound from »0ms«, »3ms« to »12ms«, »15ms«. One metre
roughly corresponds to 3 milliseconds.

Setting the volume level on all channels
Depending on the current operating mode (see the loudspeaker
indicator on the DVD receiver), you can adjust the loudspeaker
volumes according to your preference. You can make this setting
either with or without the test tone. The volume impression should be
about the same for all channels. The individual volumes can be
adjusted within a range of -5 to +5 dB.

Setting the dynamic range
Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks have a very large dynamic
volume range, hence there is a great difference between quiet and
loud sounds. When played at full volume this can be a fascinating
experience, but it can cause disturbance late at night. Simply re-
ducing the volume does not produce satisfactory results, since the
dialogue can be hard to understand.
You can turn down the louder sounds and turn up the quieter pas-
sages, while retaining the volume of the dialogue. This function is
called the dynamic range.

GENERAL FUNCTIONS________________________
Switching between two-channel and
multi-channel mode
The DVD receiver has a Dolby Pro Logic II Decoder, which changes
the stereo signal into a Dolby surround signal during disc playback,
thus providing a high quality surround sound effect.
Pro Logic II has two playback modes, namely music and movie. In
music mode, there is a shelf filter, which acts gently on high fre-
quencies on the surround channels. It provides a natural, convincing
sound effect, because surround sound information is normally sub-
ject to slight treble attenuation due to reflection and absorption.
Movie mode, on the other hand, does not use a surround filter, but
stereo surround outputs instead.
The loudspeaker configuration (two-channel or multi-channel)
appears in the loudspeaker display on the DVD receiver.

DISC FEATURES
____________________________________
Disc formats
Your DVD receiver can play DVD R/DVD RW in DVD video format and
CD R and CD RW in CD-DA Format or MP3/WMA format.
Due to difference in quality of the recording media and the quality of the
recording itself, it can occasionally happen that a home-made DVD R/DVD
RW or CD R and CD RW with audio data cannot be read. This does not
indicate a malfunction of the DVD receiver. The causes for this can be faulty
software or hardware settings, or even the CD itself. Should such problems
arise, contact the customer services of your CD burner or software manufac-
turer or search for information about this, for example online.
If you make a DVD R/DVD RW or CD R/CD RW, please observe the legal
regulations and do not infringe the copyright of third parties. Recordings
you make yourself (DVD R/DVD RW, CD R and CD RW) have to be
finalised.
When MP3/WMA CDs are played back, individual tracks may be skipped
or incorrectly played back. This can be due to the disc configuration, the
encoder software or the hardware used for the recording.
Audio CDs (CD-DA) meet the specification and bear the corresponding
logo. Copy-protected CDs do not meet this specification in some circum-
stances and do not bear the corresponding logo. These CDs can cause play-
back errors.
DVD features
You can recognise a DVD by the logo on the label. Depending on the con-
tent of the DVD, the discs contain one or more titles. Each title may contain
one or more chapters. Titles and chapters can be selected easily and conve-
niently.
You can control and direct playback of a DVD using the menu of the DVD
receiver on the television screen.
Many DVDs have audio tracks recorded in up to eight languages. This
enables you to select the language you prefer. Also, many DVDs are record-
ed by the manufacturer with subtitles in several languages. You can select
subtitles from up to 32 different languages.
Your DVD receiver has been given region code 2. DVDs with other regional
codes cannot be played.
VCD/S-VCD features
You can tell VCDs/S-VCDs (video CDs) by the logo on the label. Depending
on the contents of the VCD/S-VCD (films, music videos etc.), the discs may
carry one or more titles. Like audio CDs, VCDs/S-VCD have a track struc-
ture.
29
DISC FEATURES
____________________________________
You can control and direct playback of the VCD/S-VCD using the menu of
the DVD receiver on the television screen.
S-VCDs can contain different dubbed languages and subtitles.
PBC (playback control)
VCDs/S-VCDs can be created using the PBC (playback control) system for
track navigation. PBC switches between the playlist structure (the menu on
the VCD/S-VCD) and manual selection by the user.
PBC is activated after the VCD/S-VCD has been scanned. This function
allows interactive playback of the VCD/S-VCD if you follow the menu on the
television screen.
MP3/WMA CD features
MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, WMA for Windows Media Audio.
Both formats enable audio files to be saved on a computer with a sound
quality similar to that of a CD. The standard encoding bit rate for MP3 files
is 128 kbps. The fundamental rule applies: the higher the bit rate of a file,
the better the sound quality.
Most MP3 files on the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps. 160 kbps is
considered CD quality. MP3/WMA files can be downloaded from the Inter-
net and then burned onto a CD ROM disc using suitable PC software.
In MP3/WMA mode, the terms “album” and “file” are very important.
“Album” corresponds to a folder on a PC, “File” to a file on a PC or a CD-
DA track (title).
Audio CD features
An audio CD (CD-DA) is identified by this logo. Audio CDs contain only
sound recordings. They can be played in the normal manner on an audio
system. The individual tracks are stored in a sequence. There are no folders.
As well as audio CDs, the DVD receiver can also read CD R and CD RW
with audio data.
JPEG/Kodak picture CD features
JPEG stands for Joint Picture Experts Group. This process was designed to
compress picture files.
The files on a JPEG CD can be organised in directories. This structure is sim-
ilar to that of an MP3 CD. JPEG CDs only contain data in the compressed
JPEG format. This is mostly data from digital cameras or from imaging pro-
grams. The data (images) can be displayed individually or in sequence in a
slide show.

Rectifying minor problems
Not every picture or sound problem is caused by a defect in your DVD receiver. Defects can also be
caused by leads having been accidentally pulled out, damaged discs and worn out batteries in the
remote control. If the following measures do not rectify the problem, consult your authorised dealer.
Due to the difference in quality of the recording media and the quality of the recording itself, it can
occasionally happen that a home-made disc cannot be read. This does not indicate a malfunction of
the DVD receiver.
