Audio problems
Make sure the cables are attached correctly, and that you’ve connected the appropriate cable
to the appropriate jack (see chapter 3 for information about different audio options).
Refer to your TV’s owner manual to find the procedures to set up your TV for a home theater
system. With most TVs, you’ll need to turn off the TV’s internal speakers via the TV menu
system or a switch on the back of the TV. Additionally, you may need to change the Fixed or
Variable setting.
Check the settings in the Final Sound DVD receiver’s
Set up
menu, specifically the
TV Audio
Connection
submenu.
Display
The display on the front of your Final Sound system provides playback information. The display
illuminates each option that is active for the type of media you are playing. The numbers on the
display let you know the track, title, and/or chapter number of the DVD/CD. Additionally,
information from the radio’s RDS (Radio Data System), such as artist and track information, is
displayed when you’ve tuned to the radio function.
The USB connector
mp3 playback:
The USB connector can be used to put on a USB mp3 player or a USB Memory
stick.
WARNING:
please never try to connect the receiver’s USB sockets to a
computer, hub, router or other device, except for USB sticks or mp3-players.
It’s potentially harmful for the receiver and will void the warranty.
Dolby Digital and DTS
Dolby Digital
The trademarked marketing name for Dolby Laboratories’ AC-3 codec. The common version
contains six channels of sound, with five channels for normal-range loudspeakers (Right Front,
Center, Left Front, Right Rear and Left Rear) and one channel for the subwoofer. The Dolby
Digital format also supports mono and stereo. Your Final Sound system supports Dolby Digital
with its 2.1 audio system design. In a 2.1 system, the surround loudspeakers (rear loudspeakers)
and the center loudspeaker are virtual. This gives the surround sound effect without having to find
room for the extra loudspeakers.
DTS (Digital Theatre Systems)
A multi-channel surround sound format (rival of Dolby Digital). With DTS, the encoders and
decoders support numerous channel combinations and stereo. DTS contains up to seven
ch LFE (Low Frequency Effects). Digital Theatre Systems was the name of the company
that developed this format (currently referred to as DTS). Film director Steven Spielberg was one
of the company’s initial investors. Spielberg films use the DTS audio format. The Final Sound
receiver supports DTS 2.1 format. In a 2.1 system, the surround loudspeakers (rear
loudspeakers) and the center loudspeaker are virtual. This gives the surround sound effect
without having to find room for the extra loudspeakers.
