1. First make sure that all connections are correctly made:

• Connect the power plug to a suitable mains socket and switch the 

DS 1033 system ON using the power switch (9). After about ten  

seconds the LCD display will illuminate and the unit will operate. 

2. Select the desired input:

• Select AUX (1) on the remote control unit to listen to the analogue 

stereo sound source connected to the AUX inputs on the rear 

panel (5).

• Select COAXIAL (3) on the remote control unit to listen to the digital 

audio source connected to the COAXIAL input connector on the rear 

panel (6).

• Select OPTICAL (2) on the remote control unit to listen to the digital 

audio source connected to the OPTICAL input connector on the rear 

panel (7).

3. Listening mode selecting:

• Depending on the type of input selected, pressing the EFFECT 

buttons (3) allows you to select one of the Dolby Digital listening 

modes “THEAT” (theatre), “MATRX” (Matrix), “LIVE”, “CHUR” 

(Church), “ STADU” (Stadium), “SIMUL” (Simulated), “HALL” or 

“CHORU” (Chorus), according to personal preference.

• According to the type of digital input, pressing LISTEN MODE (12) 

allows you to select the Dolby Digital decoding options of PRO 

LOGIC, STEREO or PHANTOM (Simulated surround sound from stereo 

input).  The DS 1033 automatically detects the type of signal being 

input from a DVD player, and highlights “Dolby Digital” if a 5.1 Dolby 

Digital signal is input, “PRO LOGIC” if the input signal is Pro Logic, 

or “Stereo” if a stereo signal is being input. The LCD display shows 

which channels are working - for example 2/0 indicates the front left 

and right speakers only are working, 3/2 indicates the front left and 

right, centre and surround speakers are working.

NOTE:

 Many DVD discs support multi-soundtrack options, so the 

digital signal input to the DS 1033 will be determined by the DVD  

player settings. The DS 1033 stores the last settings when 

switched off, and will restore these settings when next switched on.

SYSTEM FUNCTION AND OPERATION

4. Adjusting the delay time of the Centre and Surround channels:

• Depending on the type of digital input being decoded, it is possible 

to change the delay time of the signals heard in the centre (dialogue) 

channel and the rear (surround) speakers. Pressing CS DELAY (8) 

allows you to select the centre or surround channels, and using the 

+ and - buttons (9) allows you to set the delay time of each channel 

(centre channel delay time from 0 to 5 ms (milli-seconds), and the 

surround channel from 15 to 30 mS.)

NOTE:

 The delay time setting is also dependent on the type of 

soundtrack being input, and decoding option setting. 

5. Adjusting the volume levels:

• The volume of the Centre, Surround (rear) and Sub Woofer channels 

can be individually set according to personal preference and room 

conditions.

• Selecting TEST (10) outputs a white noise signal to facilitate setting 

the volume levels the Centre, Surround and Sub Woofer channels.

• Using C S TRIM (6) to select each channel, the +/- buttons (7) allow 

you to set the sound level of each channel.

6. Tone adjustment:

• The system tone can be adjusted using the BASS +/- buttons (13) 

and /- buttons (14) in the range of +/- 10 dB.

7. Standby:

• If the DS 1033 is not going to be used for a while, selecting 

STANDBY (13) switches the system into standby (power save) mode, 

indicated by the STANDBY LED (1) on the front panel. Reselecting 

STANDBY (13) restores the system to normal operation, with all 

previous settings.

NOTE:

 If the DS 1033 is not going to be used for a period of time, it is 

recommended to switch OFF the system with the power switch. 

8. Mute:
