SERVICING PRECAUTIONS
NOTES REGARDING HANDLING OF THE PICK-UP
1. Notes for transport and storage
1) The pick-up should always be left in its conductive bag until immediately prior to use. 2) The pick-up should never be subjected to external pressure or impact.
Storage in conductive bag
Drop impact
2. Repair notes
1) The pick-up incorporates a strong magnet, and so should never be brought close to magnetic materials. 2) The pick-up should always be handled correctly and carefully, taking care to avoid external pressure and impact. If it is subjected to strong pressure or impact, the result may be an operational malfunction and/or damage to the printed-circuit board. 3) Each and every pick-up is already individually adjusted to a high degree of precision, and for that reason the adjustment point and installation screws should absolutely never be touched. 4) Laser beams may damage the eyes! Absolutely never permit laser beams to enter the eyes! Also NEVER switch ON the power to the laser output part (lens, etc.) of the pick-up if it is damaged.
NEVER look directly at the laser beam, and don't let contact fingers or other exposed skin.
5) Cleaning the lens surface If there is dust on the lens surface, the dust should be cleaned away by using an air bush (such as used for camera lens). The lens is held by a delicate spring. When cleaning the lens surface, therefore, a cotton swab should be used, taking care not to distort this.
Pressure Magnet Pressure How to hold the pick-up
Cotton swab
Conductive Sheet
6) Never attempt to disassemble the pick-up. Spring by excess pressure. If the lens is extremely dirty, apply isopropyl alcohol to the cotton swab. (Do not use any other liquid cleaners, because they will damage the lens.) Take care not to use too much of this alcohol on the swab, and do not allow the alcohol to get inside the pick-up.

NOTES REGARDING COMPACT DISC PLAYER REPAIRS
1. Preparations
1) Compact disc players incorporate a great many ICs as well as the pick-up (laser diode). These components are sensitive to, and easily affected by, static electricity. If such static electricity is high voltage, components can be damaged, and for that reason components should be handled with care. 2) The pick-up is composed of many optical components and other high-precision components. Care must be taken, therefore, to avoid repair or storage where the temperature of humidity is high, where strong magnetism is present, or where there is excessive dust.
2. Notes for repair
1) Before replacing a component part, first disconnect the power supply lead wire from the unit 2) All equipment, measuring instruments and tools must be grounded. 3) The workbench should be covered with a conductive sheet and grounded. When removing the laser pick-up from its conductive bag, do not place the pick-up on the bag. (This is because there is the possibility of damage by static electricity.) 4) To prevent AC leakage, the metal part of the soldering iron should be grounded. 5) Workers should be grounded by an armband (1M) 6) Care should be taken not to permit the laser pick-up to come in contact with clothing, in order to prevent static electricity changes in the clothing to escape from the armband. 7) The laser beam from the pick-up should NEVER be directly facing the eyes or bare skin.

ESD PRECAUTIONS
Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD)
Some semiconductor (solid state) devices can be damaged easily by static electricity. Such components commonly are called Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESD). Examples of typical ESD devices are integrated circuits and some field-effect transistors and semiconductor chip components. The following techniques should be used to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity. 1. Immediately before handling any semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, obtain and wear a commercially available discharging wrist strap device, which should be removed for potential shock reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test. 2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ESD devices, place the assembly on a conductive surface such as aluminum foil, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup or exposure of the assembly. 3. Use only a grounded-tip soldering iron to solder or unsolder ESD devices. 4. Use only an anti-static solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static" can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices. 5. Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESD devices. 6. Do not remove a replacement ESD device from its protective package until immediately before you are ready to install it. (Most replacement ESD devices are packaged with leads electrically shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil or comparable conductive materials). 7. Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a replacement ESD device, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will by installed. CAUTION : BE SURE NO POWER IS APPLIED TO THE CHASSIS OR CIRCUIT, AND OBSERVE ALL OTHER SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. 8. Minimize bodily motions when handing unpackaged replacement ESD devices. (Otherwise harmless motion such as the brushing together of your clothes fabric or the lifting of your foot from a carpeted floor can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ESD device).

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Installation and Connections
After unpacking the HS 100 controller unit and the speakers, the first step is to place each speaker and the HS 100 controller unit in its location in your listening room. Consult the separate owner's manual packed with the speaker system for detailed information on physical mounting of the speakers. When making any connections between speakers and the HS 100, as well as between the HS 100 and other audio/video components, it is important that both the HS 100 and external components be turned off, preferably with the power removed from the AC outlet. This protects against accidental turn-on that might cause damage not covered by the products' warranty. When placing any speaker or the controller, make certain that it is on a solid surface capable of supporting its weight, and make certain that there is a means for connecting cables or speaker wires to reach through the back of any cabinets or shelves to the components they are connected to. As important, please note that due to the weight of the speaker cabinets, particularly the subwoofer, and the weight of and heat generated by the HS 100 controller, there is the remote possibility that the rubber padding on the bottom of the feet of the system components may leave marks on certain soft woods, wood veneers or carpets. Always use caution when placing any speaker or electronic component on a material that is soft or porous, or of a significantly different color than the feet or rubber padding on the component. is no real "right" or "wrong" place to put the speakers; work to optimize their locations so that audio moves across the front of the room smoothly, without seeming to jump from one speaker to another.

Front Right Speaker

If it is not possible to place the surround speakers at the sides of the room, the alternate position is at the back of the room, about 150 degrees on our circle from the center of the video screen. Another way to spot the optimal, alternate rear-wall mounting position is to place the left surround speaker on the back wall so that it points directly at the front right speaker, and to have the right surround speaker point directly at the front left speaker. If possible aim the surround speakers so that they point "in" toward the listening area, rather than perpendicular to the walls. NOTES ON SPEAKER PLACEMENT: The limitations of your listening room, including the placement of walls and furniture, may make it difficult to follow the speaker placement suggestions shown above. Depending on the specific layout of the room, here are some ways to compensate for unusual conditions: · Try to follow the suggested placement, but move the speakers within a few feet from the preferred locations. · Regardless of where they are placed, always try to make certain that the main surround speakers are the same distance from the front speakers. (For example, try not to have the right surround speaker further back into the room than the left surround speaker.) · If it is not possible to wall-mount or place speakers on a shelf, consider the use of optional floor stands.

Alternate position for surround positions
Center Channel Speaker The ideal location for the center channel speaker is at "0 degrees" in our circle, directly in front of the prime listening position. Place the center channel speaker as close to the top (or bottom) of the video screen as possible so that when you position the front left/right speakers the tweeters of all three front channel speakers are within 24" of one another. Front Left/Right Speakers The recommended placement for front left/right speakers is to place them at the 30-degree position with reference to the center channel speaker. The distance between them should be about the same as the distance from the center channel speaker to the prime listening position. Although the natural tendency is to place the speakers so they are parallel to the wall behind them, and thus in line with the video screen, the preferred placement is to angle the speakers slightly ("toe in") so that they point to the prime listening position. Surround Speakers In a 5.1 surround system, an additional pair of left/right speakers is added to the front left, right and center speakers. Although many believe that these speakers should be placed at the rear of the room, the preferred position for them is at the sides of the room, with rear placement a second option when room conditions prevent the use of side-mounted surround speakers. When side-wall mounting is possible, place the left/right surround speakers at a point that is 110 degrees along our circle from the center of the video screen. This translates to placing them to the side and slightly behind your preferred listening position. If possible, angle the speakers in slightly so that they are pointing toward the listener's ears.
Main Speaker Connections
Once you have placed your left, center, right and surround speakers in the listening room, use the speaker wire supplied with the HKTS 7 speaker system to connect the individual speakers to the rear panel of the HS 100. Follow the instructions in the HKTS 7 owner's manual concerning connection of the speaker wire to the back of each of the main speakers. To simplify installation, the speaker wire included with the HKTS 7 has a color marking tab at each end of the wire to indicate the channel the wire's speaker is connected to. When connecting the wire to the speakers, we strongly recommend that you connect the wire in conformance with this color code, as it then makes it easier to match the color code for the speaker terminals on the HS 100. The color coding is as shown below: Speaker Position Cable Color Code Front Left White Center Green Front Right Red Surround Right Gray Surround Left Blue If you wish to shorten the length of the speaker wires, a set of colored stickers is included with the HKTS 7 owner's manual. For consistency, apply the tab to the
Speaker Placement
It is important that the speakers be placed in positions that enable them to do the best job of reproducing the sound as it was meant to be heard, regardless of the program content. Particularly in a multichannel 5.1 system, the placement of speakers can have a noticeable impact on the accuracy of the surround process. When placing your speakers in a listening room, picture an imaginary circle starting at the center of your video screen that arcs around the room with the prime listening position, or "sweet spot" at the center of the circle. Depending on the number of speakers in your system, there is a recommended placement along the arc for each speaker, though the specific construction of your room (taking into account the available walls, bookcases, or floor space at which the speakers may be placed) will obviously have some impact on where the speakers are ultimately located. As a general rule, try to place all speakers so that they are positioned at the same height as your ears when you are seated at the prime listening position. Use the following suggestions as a guide, and make the changes needed to fit the speakers to your room. Don't be afraid to experiment a bit until you find the right combination of locations that works for you. There

side of the cable pair that has a white stripe. The speaker wires are not only color-coded for channel identification; they are also color-coded for polarity. Since proper polarity is important for system performance, note that the side of each cable pair with the white stripe and color tab is the positive side, and the pure black side of the cable pair is the negative. When connecting the cables to the speakers, the red speaker terminal is positive (+), and should be connected to the side of the wire with the white stripe and color tab. The pure black side of the cable, where there is no color tab, is negative and should be connected to the black speaker terminal. Once the wires are connected at the speaker end, connect each speaker to the rear panel of the HS 100. The color-coding on the speaker wire connectors makes it easy to make the connections properly. The positive (+) connection for the Front Speaker Connections 1 are white for left and red for white, positive connection for the Center Speaker Connection 0 is green, and the positive connections for the Surround Speakers 2 are blue for left and gray for left. In each case, the corresponding black side of each speaker cable is the negative () connection and goes to the matching black terminal for the speaker. Products with digital audio outputs, such as an external CD changer, set-top cable box, satellite receiver, video game console, compatible computer sound card or HDTV receiver may be connected to either the Optical 4 or Coaxial 5 Digital inputs. Connections to the analog audio output of a cable settop, satellite receiver, or the Left/Right analog output of a TV set with built-in digital television tuner should be connected to the TV Audio Inputs B. You may connect the outputs of any other analog audio device, such as a phono preamp, video game console, camcorder, audio recorder or similar to the Analog Audio Inputs 7. If you are connecting an audio recorder to the HS 100, the record/in jacks on the recording device should be connected to the Analog Audio Outputs 6 on the HS 100. System Preparation Remove the protective plastic film from the HS 100's front-panel lens. If left in place, this film may affect the performance of the remote control. Install the three supplied AAA batteries in the remote, as shown below.
Video Equipment Connections
Depending on the type of TV set or video display to be used, connect the HS 100 to the display using one of the following methods: · If you have a high-definition, or "digital", television, connect the Component Video Outputs B to a matching set of component inputs on the display. · If your TV set has only S-video and standard, composite video inputs, we recommend that the S-Video Output 9 be used as the connection. · When a standard, composite video input is all that is available on the TV set for video input, connect the Composite Video Output 8 to the TV.
To remove the battery cover, place your thumb on the round inset area on the door and gently press upward until the door slides out. When inserting the batteries be certain to follow the (+) and () polarity indications that appear at the bottom of the battery compartment. Replace the battery compartment cover by pressing it down toward the bottom of the remote until it snaps into place.
Connecting the AC Power
You are now ready to power up the HS 100 controller before beginning the final adjustments. 1. Plug the AC power cord into the AC Power Cord Jack C, and then into an unswitched AC outlet. Note that the Power Indicator 1 will turn orange, indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode. 2. Turn the HS 100 on either by pressing the Power On/Off 1 or the Input Source Selector 4 on the front panel, or via the remote by pressing the Power On Button 0 on the remote. The Power Indicator 1 will turn blue to confirm that the unit is on, and the Main Information Display 0 will also light up. Congratulations! You have now completed the physical installation and connection of your HS 100 system and only a few configuration steps are needed to tailor the way the HS 100 operates to meet your needs and the requirements of your listening room. Please continue with the steps on the following pages to make certain that your new system delivers all the performance it was designed to provide.
Subwoofer Placement and Connection
Since subwoofers produce nondirectional sound, they may be placed almost anywhere in a room. Actual placement should be based on room size and shape and the type of subwoofer used. One method of finding the optimal location for a subwoofer is to begin by placing it in the front of the room, about six inches from a wall, or near the front corner of the room. Another method is to temporarily place the subwoofer at your normal listening position, and then walk around the room until you find a spot where the subwoofer sounds best. Place the subwoofer in that spot, or you may wish to experiment with the best location for a subwoofer in your listening room. Using the audio interconnect packaged with the HKTS 7 system, connect one end to the Subwoofer Output 3 on the rear panel of the HS 100 and connect the other end to the "SUB" input on the subwoofer.
System Connections
Connect the FM antenna supplied with the HS 100, or an optional, external FM antenna feed to the FM Antenna Jack D. If the antenna uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you must use an optional 300-ohm to 75-ohm adaptor to make the connection. Assemble the supplied AM loop antenna so that the tabs at the bottom of the antenna loop snap into the holes in the base. Connect the white wire to the "AM" terminal and the black wire to the GND Terminals E.
Audio Equipment Connections
Since the HS 100 is a complete integrated home theater system with an onboard DVD Audio/Video player and tuner, you may not need to make any additional audio equipment connections. However, if you have any external audio components, they should be connected as follows:
Connect the AC power cord to the AC Power Cord Jack C, and then plug the cord into an unswitched AC outlet. Note that the ring surrounding the Power On/Off switch will turn amber to indicate that the HS 100 is connected to an AC power source and in the Standby mode.

Disc Recognition: This setting controls the Disc Recognition feature. When turned on, it allows you to pause a DVD-Video disc, remove it from the player, play another disc, and then resume the playback of the original disc at a later time from the point at which you paused. When a previously played disc is reinserted in the HS 100, an on-screen status message will ask whether you wish to start playback from the beginning of the disc or resume at the point where you left off. Note that even when the setting is activated, you must pause the playback, rather than bring it to a full stop, and the unit must not be turned off between discs. PBC Support: This setting controls the activation of PBC (Play Back Control) Support for VCD discs. If you plan to play VCD discs, which are a CD-ROM-based format that predates DVD, we recommend that the setting be turned ON. Screen Saver: This setting controls the activation of a screen saver that prevents the image of the "splash screen" from being "burned" into the face of your video display when a disc is stopped for more than five minutes. If you use the HS 100 with a plasma display, direct-view CRT set or a CRT-based projector, we strongly recommend that the setting be turned ON. Show Angle Icon: This setting controls the activation of the Angle Icon. When this setting is turned ON, the Angle Icon, which is a small image of a movie camera, will appear in the upper right corner of the screen when multiple-angle material is available on the disc being played. When the icon appears, press the Angle Button v on the remote to switch between the available views or program material. Dolby Digital recordings to reduce the volume of louder, peak passages while maintaining intelligibility of quieter passages. This means that you may listen to programs at a level that allows the full impact of a soundtrack to be heard at a volume that is lower than you might otherwise use to avoid complaints about loud volume levels. The HS 100 accomplishes this by compressing the audio to a greater or lesser degree, depending on which setting you choose. Three options are available: · MINIMUM does not make any changes to the original playback, and should be used when the volume setting in the listening room may be as loud as you desire. · MEDIUM applies a moderate amount of compression so that louder passages are a little quieter. · MAXIMUM applies more compression so that louder passages are much softer. Feel free to experiment with the settings at any time. Note that if your receiver or processor also allows you to program the dynamic range setting, also known as the "Night Mode," you do not need to make any adjustments on the HS 100 and should leave the setting at MINIMUM. Delay Unit: This setting selects the measurement system used in entering delay times when the AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS menu is activated. Distance entry in feet is the default, but you may alternatively choose to enter the distances in meters. Tone Control: This setting determines whether the Tone Controls are activated. When OFF is selected, the audio output is run "flat" with no tone cut or boost. When ON is selected, the tone control settings made in the next two adjustments are applied. Bass Level: When the Tone Control setting (above) is ON, the amount of bass (low frequency) boost or cut selected here is applied to the output signal.

DTS. To select the mode that will be used when a disc with two-channel audio is playing, make certain that the mode name at the right side of the DVD Sound Mode Command Descriptions Line is highlighted and then press the Enter Button P. Use the M / N Navigation Buttons A to change the setting. Output Level Adjustment Output level adjustment is a key part of the configuration process for any surround sound system. NOTE: Listeners are often confused about the operation of the surround channels. While some assume that sound should always be coming from each speaker, most of the time there will be little or no sound in the surround channels. This is because they are only used when a movie director or sound mixer specifically places sound there to create ambience, a special effect or to continue action from the front of the room to the rear. When the output levels are properly set, it is normal for surround speakers to operate only occasionally. Artificially increasing the volume to the rear speakers may destroy the illusion of an enveloping sound field, which duplicates the way you hear sound in a movie theater or concert hall. For ideal surround playback, the output level from each channel should be equal, and in most cases the factory default setting of 0dB should accomplish that. However, in some cases the specifics of your listening room may require some adjustments. To adjust the output levels, first put in a disc with test tones or content you are familiar with, and that has a reasonably even level without a great deal of changes. Then, press the M / N / K/L Navigation Buttons A until the output level setting with the factory default of "+0dB" at the bottom of the list under the Front Left speaker distance setting is highlighted. If an increase or decrease needs to be made to the level, press the Enter Button P and then use the M / N Navigation Buttons A so that the desired level is highlighted in the Options Description line é at the bottom of the menu screen. Press the Enter Button P, and then press the M / N /K/L Navigation Buttons A to move across the menu screen to each of the output level settings under each of the rest of the speaker positions, and repeat the procedure to enter the output level offset, if needed, that brings all of the channels to the same output volume. You may need to repeat this procedure more than once to accurately set the levels.
Audio Adjustment
The Audio Adjustment Submenu contains the speaker delay and output level adjustment settings of the HS 100. Follow the explanations in the Command Options on the bottom of your screen to make adjustments.
The following adjustments are available on the Video Setup menu: Aspect Ratio: This setting selects the aspect ratio of video programming. Your choice should be made according to the shape of your video display and your personal preferences. Three choices are available: · 16:9: If you have a widescreen (16:9) display, or a display that has a widescreen mode, choose this setting. With this setting, the HS 100 will adjust the output for widescreen movies so that they fill the entire screen in the proper aspect ratio. Note, however, that in this setting a disc recorded in the 4:3 aspect ratio will appear in the widescreen as a boxed image in the center, with black columns on the left and right side of the screen. Note that if the widescreen option is chosen and a widescreen movie is played on a conventional 4:3 aspect ratio set, the image will be distorted due to vertical compression. · 4:3 Letterbox: If you have a standard, 4:3 aspect ratio video display, choose this setting if you wish to see the entire frame of the movie as it is recorded on the disc without any image cutoff at the left and right sides. While this allows widescreen movies to be shown in their entirety, they will occupy a smaller portion of the screen and black "letterbox" bars may appear at the top and bottom of the screen. · 4:3 PanScan: If you have a standard, 4:3 aspect ratio video display and prefer to have widescreen movies displayed without the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, choose this option. Note, however, that since most DVDs do not contain special "pan/scan" coding that allows the on-screen image to follow the action, you may find that while the image will fill the screen, the vertical spread will cause it to be cropped at the left and right side. Scan Type: This setting allows you to select between progressive and interlaced scanning for the Component Video Outputs / to maximize the image resolution for the type of video display in use. When all desired setup and configuration entries have been made, press the OSD Button y to return the player to normal operation and you are ready to enjoy the finest in DVD or CD playback. Note that the output at the S-Video , and Composite Video ª outputs will always be standard-rate video that is compatible with any television set or video display. Two choices are available:
Delay Due to the different distances between the listening position for the front and surround channel speakers, the amount of time it takes for sound to reach your ears from each set of speakers is different. You may compensate for this difference through the use of the delay settings to adjust the timing for specific speaker placement in your particular home theater or listening room. Before proceeding, measure the distance between each speaker and the preferred listening location. Next, press the M / N /K/L Navigation Buttons A so that the second of the two AUDIO icons in the Sub-Menus column is surrounded by a white outline, with the icon box turning dark, rather than light, blue. This is the Audio Settings Menu. Next, press the M / N /K/L Navigation Buttons A until the distance setting under the Front Left speaker title is highlighted and press the Enter Button P. To change the setting, press the M / N Navigation Buttons A so that the number highlighted in the Options Description line é at the bottom of the screen is the distance from the speaker to the listening position. Press the Enter Button P when you are done. Press the M / N /K/L Navigation Buttons A to move across the menu screen to each of the distance settings under each of the rest of the speaker positions, and repeat the procedure to enter the distance setting. Note that distance setting for the subwoofer does not need to be entered, as delay is not a factor with low-frequency information.
