The

a
sophisticated
Home
Cinema
Dolby

Logic
amplifier
which
offers
superb
sound
and
picture
quality.
The
Alpha

is
a

more

up
than
an

carefully.
Throughout
this
booklet
there
are
diagrams
of
the
Alpha
AV50
front
and
rear
panels.
Each
input
and
output
is
clearly
numbered.
The
numbers
correspond
with
those
given
in
the
instructions.
A
combination
of
your
Hi
Fi
and
video
components
can
be
connected
to
the
Alpha
AV50
-
including
the
video
inputs
and
outputs
of
your
TV,
video
recorder,
satellite
decoder
or
laserdisc
player.
Switching
inputs
on
the
Alpha
AV50
can
also
change
the
picture
on
your
TV
screen
to
match
the
source
that
you
are
listening
to.
Please
follow
these
instructions
carefully
and
you'll
have
your
Alpha
AV50
up
and
running
in
no
time
at
all!
For

infra-red
remote

handset.

LOCATING
YOUR
LOUDSPEAKERS
With
the
increasing
integration
of
hi-fi
and
video
equipment,
it
is
now
possible
to
recreate
all
the
involvement
and
excitement
of
a
visit
to
the
cinema
in
the
intimacy
of
your
living
room.
A
true
Home
Cinema
set
up
conforming
to
Dolby
Surround
requirements
will
need
five
loudspeakers
in
order
to
recreate
the
surround
sound
experience:
a
front
pair,
a
rear
pair
and
a
centre
channel.
If
you
have
them,
you
will
probably
use
your
present
stereo
loudspeakers
as
the
main
front
loudspeakers.
These
should
be
positioned
roughly
equidistant
to,
and
either
side
of
your
TV
and
typically
8-10
feet
(2.4
-
3m)
apart.
The
centre
loudspeaker
must
be
located
close
to
your
TV
screen
so
that
the
picture
and
centre
sound
come
from
the
same
location.
In
a
Home
Cinema
setup,
the
centre
speaker
is
very
important,
as
much
of
the
sound
comes
from
this
source.
The
rear
surround
loudspeakers
should
ideally
be
placed
behind
the
listening
position
or,
if
this
is
not
possible,
then
to
either
side.
The
object
of
the
rear
speakers
is
to
produce
a
diffuse,
room
filling
sound.
Locate
the
rear
loudspeakers
away
from
you
and
above
your
head
so
that
they
do
not
fire
directly
into
your
ears.
The
addition
of
a
subwoofer
to
enhance
the
bass
end
of
your
system
should
also
be
considered.
The
location
of
a
subwoofer
is
less
critical
but
should
follow
the
manufacturer's
recommendations.
