Introduction

Precautions
Installation
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup in the System.
DO NOT install the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.
• Install in 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.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.
Power sources
• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in the following cases:
• After starting to heat the room
• In a damp room
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.
Internal heat
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the unit. –A cooling fan is inside the unit to prevent heat buildup.
DO NOT block the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.
DO NOT disassemble the System since there are no user serviceable parts inside.
• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the System.
• The front and center speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, it 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 instruction. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to each terminal.
• DO NOT push or pull the speakers as this will damage the foot spacers at the bottom of the speakers.

Additional Information

English
Learning More about This System
Introduction
Playable Disc Types:
• About audio format Linear PCM:
format used for CDs and most studio masters.
Dolby Digital:
Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode to create the realistic surround sound.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems):
audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it provides wider dynamic range and better separation.
• If you use a DVD-RAM with a cartridge, take the disc out
of the cartridge before inserting.
Daily Operations—Playback
Listening to the Radio:
• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number,
the previously stored station in that number will be erased.
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure
occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If this happens, preset the stations again.
Playing Back a Disc:
• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual operations
may be different from what is explained in this manual, due to the programming and disc structure; such differences are not a malfunction of this System.
• When playing back a DVD Audio disc recorded in MLP
(Meridian Lossless Packing; a lossless audio compression system that can completely recreate the PCM signal), the signals are recognized as the linear PCM signals, however, no indicator lights up on the display.
• For MP3/WMA playback...
– MP3/WMA discs require a longer readout time than
regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/ file configuration.)
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will
be skipped. This results from their recording processes and conditions.
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1
or Level 2 for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at
a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less than 64 kbps.

(see pages 9 to 13)
Daily Operations—Sound&Other Adjustments
(see pages 14 to 18)
Reinforcing the Bass Sound:
• The adjustment for the subwoofer level does not affect the sound through the headphones.
Creating Your Own Sound Modes—User Mode:
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the User Mode settings will be erased in a few days. If this happens, set the User Modes again.
Selecting the Surround Modes:
• Dolby Pro Logic II Modes: Dolby Pro Logic II Mode is multichannel playback format to decode 2-channel sources into 5.1-channel. Dolby Pro Logic II enables to reproduce spacious sound from original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations.
• While you use the headphones, the Surround Mode is canceled temporarily (“STEREO” appears) and you cannot use SURROUND MODE and EFFECT.
• Some DVD Audios prohibit downmix. While playing back such a disc... – You cannot change the Surround Mode. (“MULTI CH”
appears on the display.)
– The System plays back the left front and right front
signals when you have selected “STEREO” for the Surround Mode or when you use the headphones. (“LR ONLY” appears on the display.)
Changing the Color System and Scanning Mode:
• If you play back an NTSC disc with the color system set to “PAL (PROG),” the disc will be reproduced using “PAL 60” format, however, if the TV does not support this format, the screen may rolls over upward and downward rapidly.
• If you play back a PAL disc with the color system set to “NTSC (PROG),” you can watch the playback pictures, but the following symptoms may occur: – The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and be shown
slightly shifted when highlighted.
– The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the
original aspect ratio.
– The picture movement is not smooth.
• You cannot change the scanning mode to progressive in the following cases: – When your TV does not support the progressive video
input.
– When you have not connected your TV to the unit using
a component video cord.
• When you play back an NTSC disc in progressive scanning mode, the System outputs the NTSC signal regardless of the color system settings.
Setting the Clock:
• “0:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.

Introduction

Precautions
Installation
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup in the System.
DO NOT install the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.
• Install in 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.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.
Power sources
• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in the following cases:
• After starting to heat the room
• In a damp room
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.
Internal heat
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the unit. –A cooling fan is inside the unit to prevent heat buildup.
DO NOT block the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.
DO NOT disassemble the System since there are no user serviceable parts inside.
• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the System.
• The front and center speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, it 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 instruction. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to each terminal.
• DO NOT push or pull the speakers as this will damage the foot spacers at the bottom of the speakers.
