Benefits: Natural 3D sound image from any two speaker stereo system Based on characteristics of the human hearing system for natural, non fatiguing sound Supports mono, stereo, and surround sound for enjoyment with any input material. Fully immersive sound without a discernible sweet spot, allowing superb sound from any listening position. About the Technology: SRS , the Sound Retrieval System , came about after many years of research on the psychoacoustic of sound and the dynamics of the human hearing system. SRS retrieves the spatial information from recordings and restores the original three-dimensional sound field. [. . . ] Like live performances, SRS has no critical listening position (sweet spot). Listeners can move around the room and continue to be immersed in full three-dimensional sound. How the Technology Works: A microphone does not possess the ability to inter pret the direction a sound is coming from in the same way that the human ear does. However, when the audio source is recorded, directional audio cues are still present in the recording. Without the proper processing of the ambient information, traditional stereo reproduces a flat, two-dimensional sound field. By breaking down the stereo signal into its various signal components, it is possible to isolate and restore these spatial cues and place them in the proper space relative to the direct sounds, such as a soloist or dialogue. These spatial cues are restored by the use of Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) , which process ambient sounds via patented frequency response correction curves. Stereo has a narrow sweet spot SRS 3D Sound expand the stereo sweet spot 1998 SRS Labs, inc. SRS, the SRS logo, Sound Retrieval System are registered trademarks of SRS Labs, Inc.

Speaker impedance a) Front & rear speakers : 4 minimum b) Subwoofer1 & Subwoofer 2 speaker: 4 minimum 2. Be sure to connect the cords between the speaker terminal and speaker systems with the same polarities(''+'' to ''+'' , ''-'' to ''-'' ), if not, the central sound will be weak and the effect of the different instruments will not be clear. When connecting the speakers, be sure that the wires do not stick out from the terminals and touch other terminal or the rear panel!a) Be sure all connections are made correctly before applying power to the main unit. b) Check the polarity (positive and negative ) of connections and the directivity of stereo separation (right cord to right channel terminal) First Time Operation Important: Before Applying Power: a) Set all controls on NAV 101 to mid position (slot in knob will be vertical). b) Be sure TV mode trigger is not active (ie: 0 VDC) c) Be sure that TV and Radio are off System Set-Up (Gain Matching, EQ setting, 3D Effect setting) 1) Apply power to NAV 101. 2) Turn on Radio and select a program source (a strong radio station, CD-play, etc). 3) Adjust Radio gain control up and down until suitable level is reached. Check level setting by exercising radio volume control from min to max and verifying overall volume levels at the speakers. [. . . ] 4) Now apply power to the TV mode trigger, and verify TV mode is active by checking indicator on the Front panel. 5) Turn on the TV , and select a program source (Strong station, VCP/DVD playing , etc). 6) Adjust TV volume to approximately 1/4 volume , and adjust TV gain control on NAV 101 until suitable level is obtained. ----- 5 ----- NAV 101 Theater Sound Owner's Manual 7) Adjust EQ until desired sound quality is reached. This is done by turning each of the 3 knobs under "3 Band Equalizer" on the front panel. [. . . ]
