CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS
Position of the Blu-ray Home Cinema
Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.
Selecting the Listening PositionThe listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distan\
ce of the TVs screen size away from the TV. 
Example :  For 32 TVs 2~2.4m (6~8feet)     
For 55 TVs 3.5~4m (11~13feet)
Front SpeakerseiPlace these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards\
 (about 45°) toward you.
Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at the same height as \
your ear.
Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the ce\
nter speaker or place them slightly in front 
of the center speakers.
Center Speaker f
It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers. You c\
an also install it directly over or under the TV.
Surround Speakers hj Place these speakers to the side of your listening position. If there isnt enough room, place these speakers so they face 
each other. Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, f\
acing slightly downward.
*   Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used to hand\
le mainly sound effects and sound will not 
come from them all the time.
Surround Back Speakers 
Place them so they face forward towards the back of the listener.
Place the surround back speakers about 70 cm to 1 m (2.3~3.3feet) abov\
e surround speakers, facing slightly 
downwards.
Subwoofer
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you \
like.

CONNECTING THE VIDEO OUT TO YOUR TV
Choose one of the three methods for connecting to a TV.
 
  METHOD 1 : HDMI ....... (Best Quality)
Connect the HDMI cable from the HDMI OUT jack on the back of the Blu-ray\
 Home Cinema to the HDMI 
IN jack on your TV.
Depending on your TV, certain HDMI output resolutions may not work.
If an HDMI cable is connected from the player to a TV, the Blu-ray Home \
Cinema’s output is set to 
HDMI automatically within 10 seconds.
If you are using the Anynet + feature (see page 42) and Component and \
HDMI are both 
connected, HDMI mode is automatically selected.
When you connect the player to the TV using the HDMI cable for the fi rst time or to a new TV, the 
HDMI output resolution will be automatically set to the highest provided\
 by the TV.
If you connect a Samsung TV to the Blu-ray Home Cinema using an HDMI cab\
le, the player can 
be easily operated using the TV remote control. (This is only available\
 with Samsung TVs that 
support the Anynet+ feature.) 
(See page 42)
If the HDMI cable is connected or removed during playback of a CDDA, MP3\
 or JPEG fi le, the 
player will stop playing.
After making the video connection, set the Video input source on your TV\
 to match the 
corresponding
Video output (HDMI, Component or Composite) on your Home Cinema.
See your TV owners manual for more information on how to select the TV\
s Video Input source.M

HDMI Auto Detection Function
The players video output will automatically change to HDMI mode when co\
nnecting an HDMI cable 
while power is on. For possible HDMI resolutions, see page 41.
HDMI (High Defi  nition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and \
audio data with just a single connector.Using HDMI, the Blu-ray Home Cinema transmits a digital video and audio \
signal and displays a vivid picture on a 
TV having an HDMI input jack.
HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Supports video and digital audio data.
- HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
-  If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protec\
tion), random noise appears on the 
screen.
Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a\
 BD/DVD, the data 
transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog con\
verter (in the Blu-ray Home Cinema) or an 
analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conve\
rsion, the picture quality is degraded due to 
noise and signal loss. HDMI technology is superior because it requires n\
o D/A conversion and is a pure digital 
signal from the player to your TV.
What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-band width Digital Content Protection) is a system for prot\
ecting BD/DVD content outputted via HDMI 
from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video sou\
rce (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device (TV, 
projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the source device to prevent u\
nauthorized copies from being made.
What is Anynet+?
Anynet+ is a convenient function that offers linked operation of this un\
it through Samsung TVs with the Anynet+ 
feature.
-   If your Samsung TV has an 
 logo, then it supports the Anynet+ function.
-        If you turn on the player and insert a disc, the player will start playi\
ng the disc, and the TV will turn on 
automatically and switch to HDMI mode.
-   If you turn on the player and press the Play button with a disc already \
inserted, the TV will immediately turn on 
and switch to HDMI mode.
METHOD 2 : Component Video .... (Better Quality)
If your television is equipped with Component Video inputs, connect a Co\
mponent video cable(not 
supplied) from the Component Video Output (Pr, Pb and Y) Jacks on the\
 back of the Blu-ray Home 
Cinema to the Component Video Input Jacks on your TV.
You can select from a variety of resolution settings such as 1080i, 720p\
, 576p/480p and 576i/480i, 
depending on the disc type. (See page 41)
The actual resolution may differ from the setting in the SETUP menu if b\
oth Component and HDMI 
cables are connected. The resolution may also be different depending on \
the disc. (See page 41)
After making the video connection, set the Video input source on your TV\
 to match the 
corresponding Video output (HDMI, Component or Composite) on your Home\
 Cinema.
See your TV owners manual for more information on how to select the TV\
s Video Input source.
METHOD 3 : Composite Video ....... (Good Quality) 
Connect the supplied Video cable from the VIDEO OUT jack on the back of \
the Blu-ray Home Cinema 
to the VIDEO IN jack on your TV.
The VIDEO source is always output in 576i/480i resolution regardless of \
the resolution set in the 
SETUP menu. (See page 41)
After making the video connection, set the Video input source on your TV\
 to match the 
corresponding Video output (HDMI, Component or Composite) on your Home\
 Cinema.
See your TV owners manual for more information on how to select the TV\
s Video Input source.
