This section involves various methods of connecting the Digital Home Cinema to other external components. Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Connecting the Speakers

Position of the DVD Player
Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand. The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the TV. Example : or 32" TVs 2~2.4m (6~8feet) F For 55" TVs 3.5~4m (11~13feet)

Selecting the Listening Position

Front Speakersei

Place 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 center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers.
Center Speaker Rear Speakers
It is best to install it at the same height as the front speakers. You can also install it directly over or under the TV. P lace these speakers behind your listening position. If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each other. Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing slightly downward. U nlike the center speakers, the rear speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not * come fromfront and the time. them all

Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.

HDMI Auto Detection Function
The player's video output will automatically change to HDMI mode when connecting an HDMI cable while power is on. ~ HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single connector. Using HDMI, the DVD 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 Protection), random noise appears on the screen. ~ Why does Samsung use HDMI? Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the DVD Home Cinema) or an analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and signal loss. HDMI technology is superior because it requires no 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 protecting DVD content outputted via HDMI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device (TV, projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the source device to prevent unauthorized copies from being made. ~ What is Anynet+? Anynet+ is a convenient function that offers linked operation of this unit 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 playing 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.

USING BLUETOOTH

You can use a Bluetooth device to enjoy music with high quality stereo sound, all without wires!

What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a new technology that enables Bluetooth-compliant devices to easily interconnect with each other using a short wireless connection. ~ A Bluetooth device may cause a noise or malfunction, depending on usage. ~ When a part of the body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or the Home Cinema System. ~ Electrical variation from electrical jamming by the wall, corner or office partitioning. ~ Electrical interference from the same frequency-band devices including medical equipment, microwave oven and wireless LAN. ~ Pair the Home Cinema System with the Bluetooth device while maintaining a close distance. ~ The further the distance is between Home Cinema System and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality. If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost. ~ In poor reception-sensitivity areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly. ~ The Home Cinema System has an effective reception range of up to 10 m in all directions if there are no obstacles. The connection will be automatically cut off if the distance is out of this range. Even within this range, the sound quality may be deteriorated by obstacles such as walls or doors.

To connect the Home Cinema System to a bluetooth device
Check if the Bluetooth device supports the Bluetooth-compliant stereo headset function. 1. Press the FUNCTION button on the front panel of the home cinema system repeatedly until the "BT AUDIO" appears. ~ The mode switches as follows : DVD/CD D.IN AUX 1 AUX 2 USB (BT AUDIO) FM. ~ You will see WAIT for 2 seconds and then rEADY on the front display of the Home Theater System. Select the Bluetooth menu on the Bluetooth device you want to connect. (refer to Bluetooth device's user manual) Connect. Select a Stereo headset menu on the Bluetooth device. ~ You will see a list of scanned devices. 4. Select "Samsung Home Theater" from the searched list. ~ When the Home Cinema System is connected to the Bluetooth Bluetooth device, the Home Cinema System will display Device "Connect" on the front display, followed by the name of the connected Bluetooth device. ~ The Home Cinema System connection is complete. Play music on the connected device. ~ You can listen to the music playing on the connected Bluetooth device over the home cinema system.
You may be required to enter a PIN code(password) when connecting the Bluetooth device to the home cinema system. If the PIN code input window appears, enter <0000>. The Home Cinema System may control play related function only when connected device supports the function. If connected device dose not support some play related function, the Home Cinema System can't control the device. TThe Home Cinema System only supports Middle Quality SBC data(up to 237kbps@48kHz), and does not support High Quality SBC data(328kbps@44.1kHz). HT-Z210/TZ212/TZ215 doesn't support Bluetooth function.

HT-Z310-ENG-0226.indd 47

To disconnect the Bluetooth device from the Home Cinema System
You can disconnect the Home Cinema System from the Bluetooth device (refer to Bluetooth devices user manual). ~ The Home Cinema System will be disconnected. ~ When the Home Cinema System is disconnected from the Bluetooth device, the Home Cinema System will display "DISCONNECT" on the front display.
To disconnect the Home Cinema System from the Bluetooth device

Press the FUNCTION button on the front panel of the home cinema system to switch from BT AUDIO to another mode. ~ The bluetooth device connected will wait a certain time for response from the home cinema system before terminating the connection. (Time to disconnection may differ, depending on the bluetooth device) ~ The currently connected device will be disconnected.
In Bluetooth connection mode, the Bluetooth connection will be lost if the distance between the Home Cinema System and the Bluetooth device exceeds 10 m. If the distance is returned to the effective range or you restart the Bluetooth device, the Bluetooth connection can be restored. ` With some bluetooth devices, some functions may not work properly. ` HT-Z210/TZ212/TZ215 doesn't support Bluetooth function.
