instructions, and should use a mounting acces-
sory recommended by the manufacturer.
10. Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet
are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation of the appliance and to protect it from
overheating, and these openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never
be blocked by placing the appliance on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The appliance
should not be placed in a built-in installation such
as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation
is provided. There should be free space of at
least 20 cm (8 in.) and an opening behind the
appliance.
11. Power Sources — The appliance should be
operated only from the type of power source indi-
cated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply to your home, consult
your appliance dealer or local power company.
12. Grounding or Polarization — The appliance

Precautions
9. Notes on Handling
•
•
•
When shipping the unit, use the original ship-
ping carton and packing materials. For maxi-
mum protection, repack the unit as it was
originally packed at the factory.
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray,
near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic
products in contact with the unit for a long time.
They will leave marks on the finish.
The top and rear panels of the unit may
become warm after a long period of use.
This is not a malfunction.
When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove
the disc and turn off the power.
Memory Preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation
batteries. A built-in memory power backup system
preserves the contents of memory during power
failures and even when the power cord is
unplugged.
The power cord must be plugged-in to charge the
backup system. The memory preservation period
after the unit has been turned off varies depending
on climate and placement of the unit. On average,
memory contents are protected for a period of a
few weeks after the time the unit has been turned
off. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed
to a very humid climate.
•
•
If you do not use the unit for a long period, the
unit may not function properly in the future. Turn
on and use the unit occasionally.
10.To Obtain a Clear Picture
The unit is a high technology, precision device. If
the optical pickup lens and disc drive parts are
dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes
poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend reg-
ular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts
replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending
on the operating environment. For details, contact
your nearest dealer.

dense on the optical pick-up lens inside the unit,
one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.
Moisture condensation occurs in the follow-
ing cases.
– When you bring the unit directly from a cold
place to a warm place.
– When you use the unit in a room where you
just turned on the heater, or a place where
cold airflow from an air conditioner directly
hits the unit.

Speaker care
■ Speaker care
Wipe the cabinet occasionally with a dry silica or soft cloth. For heavier dirt, after dampening a
soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water and wringing it out dry, wipe off the dirt.
Then, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other
chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish, remove the panel lettering, or
cause discoloration. If you are using a chemical cloth, always follow the instructions that come
with the cloth. For dust accumulated on grilles, use a vacuum cleaner or brush it off.
■ Use with a TV set or computer
In general, Braun tubes used for color television sets and computers are extremely sensitive and
can be affected even by the magnetism of the earth. If a speaker system is used near them, there-
fore, discoloration or distortion of pictures will occur. To allow use with a color television set or
computer, this speaker system is provided with magnetic shielding. Even so, discoloration may
still result, depending on the installation environment. If discoloration occurs, turn off the power of
the television set or computer, wait for 15 to 30 minutes and then turn it on again. This activates
the self-demagnetizing function of the television set or computer, improving the display condition.
Note
If discoloration persists even after performing this remedy, move the speaker apart from the televi-
sion set or computer. Discoloration may also be caused when a magnet or other magnetizing
object exists near the television or computer because of the combined effect.
■ Precaution on use
This speaker system can handle the specified input power when it is used for ordinary music
reproduction. If the following abnormal signals are fed to the speaker, however, an overcurrent
may flow in the internal circuits, causing burning or breakage of the wires even if the input power
is below the specified rating.
1. Noise produced when FM station is not tuned in
2. Sound produced when fast-forwarding cassette tape deck
3. High-frequency sound generated by an oscillator, an electronic musical instruments, etc.
4. Oscillating amplifier signals
5. Special test signals produced by audio checking CD, etc.
6. Sound produced when connecting or disconnecting audio connection cables (Always turn off
the amplifier’s power before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
7. Howling when a microphone is used
Note:
The L-DR7 DVD Theater System performance is optimized when the subwoofer (SWA-155X),
speakers (D-M7 and D-M3), and DVD AV controller (PDR-155) are used. Onkyo is not responsi-
ble for malfunctions caused by using speakers or receivers from other manufacturers.
■ About memory preservation
The PDR-155 has an auxiliary power source to preserve memory and prevent settings from being
erased during power outage. The PDR-155 preserves memory for about two weeks with the
power cable disconnected. However, the clock and timer settings are cancelled.

MP3 compatibility information
• The CD-ROM must be ISO9660-compatible.
• Files should be in the MPEG1 Audio Layer 3 format, 44.1 or 48 kHz, fixed bit rate. Incompatible
files will not play and the system will display “UNPLAYABLE.”
• The PDR-155 plays only tracks that use the file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.
• Use CD-R or CD-RW media to record your MP3 files.
• The disc must be finalized to play properly.
• Audio encoded at 128kbps should sound nearly as good as standard audio CDs. Although the
PDR-155 will play MP3 tracks encoded at lower bit rates, the audio quality is noticeably worse.
• Only the first eight characters of a folder or track name (excluding the “.mp3” extension) are dis-
played.
• The PDR-155 can recognize a maximum of 250 folders and 250 tracks. Folders and tracks in
excess of 250 will not play.
• The PDR-155 is not compatible with variable bit rate (VBR) files. Be sure to create MP3
CDs with a fixed bit rate.
• The PDR-155 is not compatible with multi-session discs. If you try to play a multi-ses-
sion disc, the PDR-155 will play only the first session.

Handling Discs
Differences in disc composition
■ DVDs
All discs are divided into smaller, more manageable sections so that you can find specific content
more easily.
More specifically, discs are divided into one or more titles. Each title may be further divided into
several chapters. Occasionally, a chapter may contain index points, effectively dividing the chap-
ter into several parts as well.
Title 1
Chapter 1 Chapter 2
Title 2
Chapter 1 Chapter 2
DVD
■ Video CDs and audio CDs
Video CDs and audio CDs are divided into a number of tracks. In rare cases, a track may contain
a number of index points, effectively dividing the track into several parts.

■ MP3
MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) is a compressed audio file format. Files are recognized by their file
extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”. Folders that contain MP3 files are automatically numbered F_001,
F_002, etc. Tracks within folders are automatically numbered T_001, T_002, etc.

Handling Discs
Handling discs
• Do not touch the playback side of a disc.
Playback side
• Do not attach paper or tape to discs.
Cleaning discs
• Fingerprints and dust on a disc can cause picture and sound deterioration. Wipe the disc from
the center outwards with a soft cloth. Always keep discs clean.
• If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc lightly with a slightly moistened
soft cloth and finish with a dry cloth.
• Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner, benzene, commercial cleaners or antistatic
spray for vinyl LPs. These solvents may damage discs.
Storing discs
• Do not store discs in locations subject to direct sunlight or near heat sources.
• Do not store discs in locations subject to moisture or dust, such as a bathroom or near a humid-
ifier.
• Store discs in cases. Store each case vertically. Stacking or placing objects directly on a disc
may cause it to warp.

1 Detach the battery cover.
2 Insert two size-AA/R6 batteries.
Be sure to match the + and – ends of the batteries with to diagram inside the battery com-
partment.
3 Attach the battery cover.
• Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of batteries.
• To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the remote controller for
a long time.
• Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from corrosion. If the remote control-
ler does not operate smoothly, replace both batteries at the same time.
• The life of the supplied batteries is about six months, but this varies with usage.
Using the remote controller
PDR-155
Remote control
sensor
Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor.
• Place the unit away from strong light, such as direct sunlight or inverted fluorescent light,
which can prevent proper operation of the remote controller.
• Using another remote controller of the same type in the same room or using the unit near
equipment that uses infrared rays may cause operational interference.
• Do not put any object (such as a book) on the remote controller. The buttons of the remote
controller may be pressed by mistake, which drains the batteries.
• Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass. Placing the unit behind such
doors may prevent proper remote controller operation.
• If there is an obstacle between the remote controller and the remote control sensor, the
remote controller will not operate.

What is Home Theater?
■ Enjoying home theater
The L-DR7 creates a three-dimensional audio experience by moving and panning sound among
multiple speakers. This enables you to enjoy the atmosphere and acoustics of theaters and con-
cert halls (i.e., 5.1 channel surround playback) while you relax at home.
Two D-M7 speakers serve as the left and right front speakers; one D-M3 speaker serves as the
center speaker; and two D-M3 speakers serve as the left and right surround speakers.
Depending on the audio-encoding of a particular DVD disc, you can enjoy DTS or Dolby Digital
playback. You can also enjoy Onkyo’s proprietary DSP surround sound for TV or MD playback
(see page 71).
Front speakers
Output complete audio signals. In the 5.1ch environment, they
serve as posts that support the acoustic field.
Subwoofer
Outputs only the bass
range sound.
Center speaker
Outputs tight audio, clearly
framing the acoustic field. In
movies, dialog and narration
are generally output.
Surround speakers
Add a realistic theater atmosphere and convey
3D sound movements and special audio effects.
Connecting the L-DR7
• Connect the DVD AV Controller (PDR-155) and the subwoofer (SWA-155X) (page 29).
• Connect the subwoofer (SWA-155X) and the speakers (D-M7, D-M3) (page 30).
• Connect your MD recorder or CD recorder to the PDR-155 to play an MD or CD in a 5.1ch envi-
ronment.
Positioning the speakers
Refer to the explanation of each speaker’s role and the speaker position examples (page 31).
Setting up the speakers
To enjoy optimal surround sound, set up the speakers correctly (page 76).

Connections
Connecting the PDR-155 to a TV
Connecting a video signal
To connect a video signal, you can use the COMPONENT jacks, S VIDEO IN connector, or
VIDEO IN jack.
Select a connection to match the input connectors on your TV.
• Refer to the instruction manual for the TV you are connecting.
• Before you connect a TV, turn off the power and unplug the TV.
Do not connect the power cable of the PDR-155.
Incomplete
• Connect the PDR-155 directly to the TV. If you connect a VCR
between them, images from VCR tapes may look distorted.
• Insert the cable plugs completely.
Insert completely
If the TV has component jacks:
Component jack connection provides a better image than an S video connection.
Tip:
Component video outputs also allow you to enjoy the improved picture quality offered by progres-
sive scanning. (progressive scan-compatible NTSC color TV or monitor required.)
If the TV has an S video connector:
Use the included S video cable to make an S video connection. This connection offers better
image quality than the VIDEO IN jack.
If the TV has neither component jacks nor an S video connector:
Use the included yellow pin cable to make a VIDEO IN connection.
Audio connection
To listen to TV audio, you need to connect the audio output of a TV or satellite tuner to the PDR-
155 TV/LINE IN jack.
If your TV or satellite tuner has digital output, connect it to the PDR-155 DIGITAL IN jack to listen
to digital audio.
Digital audio has priority when both digital and analog jacks are connected.

■ Basic positioning example and the role of each speaker
Although recommended speaker positions vary depending on the room size and wall material,
this section offers a basic positioning example and explains the function of each speaker.
Even if you cannot precisely follow the example below, you can still enjoy optimal surround sound
by specifying the distance from the listener to the speakers (page 76).You can also adjust the vol-
ume level of each speaker to suit your preference (page 77). (Make these settings after all con-
nections are completed.)
Using optional speaker stands or brackets
Each satellite speaker has one M5 screw hole on

bottom. To secure the bottom surface, use optional
stands or brackets.

If you use a stand or brackets, use M5 screws with
an effective screw length of 7–12 mm, depending
on the thickness of the stand.

position
D-M3
D-M3
Center speaker
Place the center speaker as close as possible to the screen and position it so that the sound is
directed at the listener’s ears.
The center speaker enriches the sound image by framing the sound effects and panning sound
output from the left and right front speakers. In movies, generally, dialog and narration are output
from this speaker.
Left and right front speakers
Place the front speakers in front of the listener.
• Position the speakers at the same height as the center speaker.
• Position the speakers so that the audio will be directed at the listener’s ears. It is recommended
that you place the speakers symmetrically.
Surround speakers
Place the surround speakers to the sides or rear of the listener.
The surround speakers enhance the atmosphere of theaters or halls by conveying the three-
dimensional movement of sound and re-producing environmental sounds (that represent the
background) and special effect sounds (for example, that bring a scene to a climax).
Subwoofer
Place the subwoofer near the front speakers.
The subwoofer has a great advantage in producing powerful, super bass effects. Only low-range
sound is output.
Caution:
Do not place the satellite speakers on the edge of a desk or rack. Otherwise, they may fall, caus-
ing injury.

Enjoying the Surround Sound
■ About surround sound
The surround sound of the L-DR7 enables you to enjoy the audio ambience of a movie theater or
concert hall in your room.
To listen to surround sound, you need to set up the speakers (page 76).
The PDR-155 offers the following surround modes:
STEREO
Onkyo’s original Digital Signal Process-
ing (DSP) modes
Sound is output from the left and right front
speakers and the subwoofer.
The PDR-155 offers the following special
Onkyo sound effects for sources other than
DOLBY DIGITAL and DTS sounds.
THEATER-DIMENSIONAL
You can enjoy multi-channel playback from two
or three speakers.
ORCHESTRA
This mode is suitable for classical and opera
music. The center channel is cut and the sur-
round channels are emphasized to widen the
stereo image. It simulates the natural reverber-
ation of a large hall.
DOLBY DIGITAL
DTS (Digital Theater System)
This surround mode enables you to experi-
ence the acoustics and ambience of theaters
or concert halls.
UNPLUGGED
This mode is suitable for acoustic instrumental
sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasiz-
ing the front stereo image, it simulates the
acoustics in front of a stage.
You can enjoy DOLBY DIGITAL sound during
the playback of DVDs, LDs, and CDs with the
mark. You can enjoy DTS sound during
the playback of discs with the
mark.
STUDIO-MIX
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II
This mode is suitable for rock and popular
music. Lively sounds with powerful acoustics
will make you feel as if you are in a club.
This surround mode comprises two catego-
ries: Movie mode suitable for movies, and
Music mode suitable for music playback.
In Movie mode, the surround channel sound,
which is usually monaural and narrow-banded,
will be played in stereo, creating the impres-
sion of sound movement. Also, in this mode,
two-channel music tracks will produce more
natural-sounding acoustics through the sur-
round channel.
TV LOGIC
This mode offers the realistic acoustics of a TV
program. It enhances the entire surround
sound and clarifies dialog.
ALL CH ST
This mode is useful for background music. The
front and surround channels will create a ste-
reo image.
You can enjoy DOLBY PRO LOGIC II sound
during playback of VHS and DVD videos that
have the
mark, and during some
TV programs.
Music mode is suitable for stereo music CDs
and live concert DVDs.

• If the source signal is 96 kHz, you can select only STEREO surround mode.
• If the source signal is from a monaural AM broadcast or TV, and if you select PL II MOVIE or PL
II MUSIC, the sound may be output mostly from the center speaker.
To obtain surround effects from monaural sound sources, select other surround modes.
Notes regarding DTS
• If you play a DTS CD or LD in analog mode on a component that is connected only to the PDR-
155’s ANALOG jacks, the DTS signal will be output as noise. This noise may damage the
speakers and the PDR-155. Be sure to play DTS CDs on the PDR-155.
• During playback of a DTS disc, pausing or skipping playback may cause temporary noise. This
is not a malfunction.

Enjoying the Surround Sound
■ Adjusting the listening angle
Theater-Dimensional mode is based on a technology that controls the characteristics of the
sounds reaching the listener’s ears.There is a sweet spot from which you can best experience the
Theater-Dimensional effect. Adjust the listening angle for the best Theater-Dimensional effect.
The “listening angle” refers to the angle between the left and right front speakers when directed at
the listening position.

Compared to a standard interlaced TV picture, a progressive scan TV is capable of more sta-
ble, flicker-free images. Don’t set this parameter if your NTSC color TV or monitor doesn’t
support progressive scan.

Tip
If [Auto Progressive] is selected, the picture may flicker or be distorted when the unit switches
between progressive and interlace modes.This is not a malfunction of either the PDR-155 or the TV.
If your TV does not switch between 4:3 and 16:9, change the aspect ratio of the TV to 4:3. Alter-
natively, set [Component Video] in the Setup window to [Interlace] or [Auto Progressive]. If you
select [Auto Progressive], 4:3 discs will be played in Interlace mode, while discs that are recorded in
both 4:3 and 16:9 will play in interlace mode during the 4:3 sections, and in progressive mode during
the 16:9 parts. Switch your TV’s aspect ratio to the most suitable setting (for more details, see the
manual that came with your TV).
Notes
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and you choose
progressive scan mode, you will not be able to see any picture at all. If your TV is con-
nected via the composite or S video connectors, choose [Interlace] for [Component Video].
