installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning

the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by

one or more of the following measures:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV
technician for help.

may not be recharged enough. This is due to

the characteristic of this battery, and is not a

malfunction. In this case, recharge it two or

three times before the first use.

■ When the charge indicator of the battery pack
starts to blink, it is nearly exhausted. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.

Explanation of terms

Interactive DVD

With this DVD disc, the story is changeable by
user's selection, and/or the direction of view is
changeable.

Title, chapter (DVD)

A DVD disc is divided into large parts (title) and
smaller parts (chapter).

Each part has a number which is called title
number or chapter number.

OPT OUT jack

The OPT OUT jack changes electric signals into
optical signals before transmitting them to the
amplifier. According to this, the signals flow
without electric effect from outside, and noise is
suppressed and produces little effect for
outside.

Track (video CD/audio CD)

A video CD or an audio CD is divided into some

parts (track).
Each part has a number which is called a track
number.

Dolby digital (AC-3)

A technique for digital audio compression
developed by Dolby Corporation.

Not only stereo (2 ch) sound, but also 5.1 ch
sound can be compressed by it. A large
amount of data can be held in a disc efficiently.

Dolby pro logic decoder

Equipment in which 4 channel signals recorded

in 2 channels by dolby surround (pro logic) are
reverted to signals in 4 channels when playing
them back. As compared with the surround
sounds of 5.1 ch of dolby digital (AC-3),
separation between channels is worse and
surround signal is played back only within 7

kHz.

Pan & scan screen

This signifies that the screen recorded in wide
screen format is displayed with left and right

portions cut off.

Playback control (video CD Version 2.0)

A video CD with the playback control function
can be played back by following the menu
display interactively.

Linear PCM audio (LPCM)

This is the signal recording system for audio
CD.
While the signals are recorded by 44.1 kHz/16
bit in audio CD, by 48 kHz/16 bit - 96 kHz/24 bit
in DVD. As a result, DVD is played back in
higher quality sound than in audio CD.

MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group)

MPEG is the international standard format for
moving pictures provided by the Moving Picture

Experts Group organized under ISO
(International Organization for Standardization)
and IEC (International Electro-technical
Commission). MPEG provided MPEG1 in 1991,
and MPEG2 in 1994. MPEG2 enables play in
higher quality than MPEG1.

S-VIDEO OUT terminal

As this terminal divides the video signals into
color signal and brightness signal to transmit
them to the TV set, the picture becomes clearer.
We recommend connecting an S-VIDEO cord
(supplied) to the TV set and S-VIDEO terminal.

Letter box screen

This signifies that the screen recorded in wide
screen format is displayed with black bands at
the top and bottom of the screen.

Playback of a CD-R/CD-R W

A CD-R/CD-RW may not be played back because its reflectance

is lower than a CD.
In addition, playback may not be carried out because of a disc’s
condition, a spot, a scratch, condensation on the pick up lens,
etc.

Reproducción de CD-R y CD-R W

Un CD-R o un CD-RW puede no reproducirse si su
reflectancia es más baja que la de un CD.
Por otra parte, la reproducción puede fallar debido al estado

del disco: manchas, rayaduras, condensación en las lentes del

captador, etc.

Lecture d’un CD-R/CD-R W

Il se peut qu’un CD-R/CD-RW ne puisse pas être lu car son
pouvoir réflecteur est inférieur à celui d’un CD.
En outre, la lecture peut s’avérer impossible si le disque est en
mauvais état, s’il est tâché ou rayé, ou en présence de conden

sation sur la lentille de prise de vue, etc.
