Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.

• 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.

• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.

Power sources

How Daily Timer actually works

Once the Daily Timer has been set, the timer ( ) indicator and DAILY indicator are lit on the display. Daily Timer is activated at the same time everyday until the timer is turned off manually (see the next column).

When the on-time comes

The System turns on, tunes in to the specified station or starts playing the specified source, and sets the volume level to the preset level.

When the off-time comes

The System stops playback, and turns off (stands by).

• The timer setting remains in memory until you change it.

How Recording Timer actually works

When Recording Timer has been set, Timer ( ) indicator and the REC indicator are lit on the display. Recording Timer works only once.

When the on-time comes

The System turns on, tunes in to the specified station, sets the volume level to “VOLUME MIN,” and starts recording.

When the off-time comes

The System stops recording, and turns off (stands by).

• The timer setting remains in memory until you change it.

Even if the System is power on condition and selected other source, Recording Timer will be activated.

To turn off the Timer after its setting is done

You can turn off the timer after it has been set.

Before Operating the System

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.

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.

• Some DVD Audios prohibit downmix. When you play

back such a disc, “LR ONLY” appears on the display and the System plays back the left front and right front signals.

• For MP3/WMA/JPEG playback...

– MP3/WMA/JPEG discs are required a longer readout

time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file configuration.)

– Some MP3/WMA/JPEG 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
