Introduction

Notes on handling

7 Important cautions

Installation of the system

Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold; between 5°C and 35°C.

Leave sufficient distance between the system and the TV.

Do not use the system in a place subject to vibration.

Power cord

Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!

A small amount of power is always consumed while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet (center unit only).

When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the power cord.

To prevent malfunctions of the system

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.

Do not insert any metallic object into the system.

Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart, flower or credit card, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage the system.

Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it may damage the system.

Note about copyright laws

Check the copyright laws in your country before recording from the discs. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws.

Note about copyguard system

The discs are protected by copyguard system. When you connect the system to your VCR directly, the copyguard system activates and the picture may not be played back correctly.

7 Safety precautions

Avoid moisture, water and dust

Do not place the system in moist or dusty places.

Avoid high temperatures

Do not expose the system to direct sunlight and do not place it near a heating device.

When you are away

When away on travel or for other reasons for an extended period of time, disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.

Do not block the vents

Blocking the vents may damage the system.

Care of the cabinet

When cleaning the system, use a soft cloth and follow the relevant instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths. Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic solvents including disinfectants. These may cause deformation or discoloring.

If water gets inside the system

Turn the system off and disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet, then call the store where you made your purchase. Using the system in this condition may cause fire or electrical shock.

Supplied accessories

Check to be sure you have all of the supplied accessories.

About discs and memory cards

Playable disc types

This system has been designed to play back the following discs: DVD VIDEO, DVD AUDIO, Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD (SVCD), Audio CD (CD), CD-R and CD-RW.

This system accommodates the NTSC and PAL system. When

you play an NTSC disc with the scan mode set to “PAL”

(A pg. 18), the NTSC video signal is converted to the PAL60 signal and output.

This system can also play MP3, WMA, JPEG and MPEG4 files recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs. (A pg. 20)

This system can also play finalized DVD-R/-RWs recorded in DVD VIDEO format. However, some discs may not be played because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.

Discs you can play:

DVD Logo is a trademark of DVD Format/Logo Licensing Corporation.

Region code of DVD VIDEO

DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own Region Code numbers. This system can play back DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code numbers include the system’s Region Code, which is indicated on the rear panel.

Example of playable DVD:

For Australia, Central and South America

For Middle East

Except for Australia, Central and South America, and Middle East

If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and playback cannot start.

The following discs cannot be played back:

DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, SACD, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.

Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers.

On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs, their actual operation may be different from what is explained in this manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of this system.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized”.

This system can play CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD format. This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3, WMA, JPEG or MPEG4 files are recorded on them.

However, some discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.

Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3, WMA, JPEG or MPEG4 disc are determined by the writing (encoding) software and hardware used for recording. Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the following symptoms may occur:

Some discs may not be played back.

Some tracks on an MP3 or WMA disc may be skipped or may not be played back normally.

Some files on a JPEG or MPEG4 disc may be played back distortedly.

Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.

Notes on MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs

MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the directory/file configuration.)

When making an MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 for the disc format.

This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20 sessions).

This system cannot play “packet write” discs.

The system can only play MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 files with the following file extensions;

MP3: “.MP3”, “.Mp3”, “.mP3” and “.mp3”

WMA: “.wma”, “.WMA” and any uppercase and lowercase combination (such as “.Wma”)

JPEG: “.jpg”, “.jpeg”, “.JPG”, “.JPEG” and any uppercase and lowercase combination (such as “.Jpg”)

MPEG4: “.asf”, “.ASF” and any uppercase and lowercase combination (such as “.Asf”)

If different type of files (audio (MP3/WMA), still picture (JPEG), and video (MPEG4) files) are recorded on a disc, set the

FILE TYPE setting in the PICTURE menu to the appropriate setting for the data to be read. (A pg. 37)

3

About discs and memory cards

The system recognizes up to 150 tracks (files) per group, 99 groups per disc, and the total number of the tracks (files) that the

system can play is 1000. For example, if you set FILE TYPE to AUDIO (A pg. 37) and play a disc that contains 500 MP3 tracks, 200 JPEG files, and 600 WMA tracks, the system can play 500 MP3 tracks and the first 500 of 600 WMA tracks.

Some MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs may not be played back normally because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.

Notes on MP3/WMA discs/memory cards only

The system supports MP3 files recorded with a bit rate of 32 – 320 kbps and a sampling frequency of 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz,

24 kHz*, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.

If the tag information (album name, artist, and track title, etc.) is

recorded on a disc, it appears in the file control display on the TV screen. (A pg. 28)

We recommend to record each piece of material (song) at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of

128 (96*) kbps.

Some tracks may be skipped or may not be played back normally.

*For WMA only

Notes on JPEG discs/memory cards only

We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480, it will take a longer time to be displayed.)

This system can only play baseline JPEG files.

Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.

Notes on MPEG4 disc/memory card only

The system supports the types of simple profile as MPEG4 files (MPEG4 SP).

The system supports MPEG4 files recorded with the maximum bit rate of 384 kbps and an audio codec of G.726. (To play the MPEG4 file, it is required that G.726 formatted audio data is contained in that file.)

The maximum size of the played picture is at a 352 x 288 pixel resolution (CIF).

Some files may be skipped or may not be played normally.

Playable memory cards

This system has an insertion slot for the memory cards; SD card (SD) and MultiMediaCard (MMC).

You can play back the following files:

• MP3, WMA, JPEG, and MPEG4 (simple profile/asf format)

Requirements for memory cards

Format: Fat 12/16

Storage type: Memory Cards up to 512 MB have been verified for use with this system.

Protection: Secure MMC/SD card is not available.

Notes on memory cards

When you play a miniSD™ card, be sure to attach the miniSD™ adapter to the card before insertion.

The playback order may differ from that of the other device such as a digital still/video camera.

The memory cards initialized by PC are not available.

The system cannot play files whose file name contains 65 or more characters.

The system may be unable to play back some memory cards due to their characteristics or recording conditions.

Memory cards are precision instruments. DO NOT impact, bend, drop, or wet them.

If different type of files (audio (MP3/WMA), still picture (JPEG), and video (MPEG4) files) are recorded on a disc, set the

FILE TYPE setting in the PICTURE menu to the appropriate setting for the data to be read. (A pg. 37)

NOTE

Although the satellite speakers and the powered subwoofer are magnetically shielded, the TV screen may appear mottled. In this case, keep enough distance between the speakers and the TV.

The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the speakers.

When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power switch

again.

Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.

Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.

Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.

Connecting a TV

You can get better picture quality in the order — Component video > S-video > Composite video.

Distortion of picture may occur when connecting to the TV via a VCR, or to a TV with a built-in VCR.

You need to set “MONITOR TYPE” in the PICTURE menu correctly according to the aspect ratio of your TV. (A pg. 37)
