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 the 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.
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.
Playable Disc Types
DVD Logo is a trademark of DVD Format/Logo Licensing
Corporation.
• CD-R/-RW/-ROM: Recorded in the Audio CD(CD-DA),
Video CD and SVCD formats. MP3, WMA, JPEG,
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files written in accordance with
the “ISO 9660” format can also be played.
• DVD-R/-RW: Recorded in the DVD Video format or the
DVD Video Recording (VR) format. MP3, WMA, JPEG,
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files written in the UDF-Bridge
format can also be played.
In addition to the above discs, this System can play back
audio data recorded on CD Text, and CD-Extra.
• It is possible to play back finalized +R/+RW (DVD Video
format only) discs. “DVD” lights on the front display panel
when a +R/+RW disc is loaded.
• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), CD-G (CD
Graphics), Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage
the speakers.
• This unit cannot play back DVD-VR discs with CPRM
(Content Protection for Recordable Media).
• In this manual, “file” and “track” are interchangeably used
for MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG-1/MPEG-2 operations.
About color system
This System accommodates both NTSC and PAL system
and can play back discs recorded with either system.
To change the color system, see page 6.
Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code
numbers. This System can play back only DVDs with
Region Code numbers including “4” for Australia and
Central and South America, “3” for Southeast Asia, and “2”
for the Middle East. For your available Region code, check
the rear panel of your main unit.
EX.: For Southeast Asia
• 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.
1
If a DVD with the improper Region Code numbers is loaded,
“REGION ERR” appears on the display and playback will
not start.
The System can play back the following digital audio
formats.
•
LPCM
(Linear PCM),
DTS
(Digital Theater Systems)
Caution for DualDisc playback
The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with
the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the
use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not
be recommended.
IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc, make sure of
the following...
• Turn on the TV and select an appropriate input mode on
the TV to view the pictures or on-screen displays on the
TV screen.
• For disc playback, you can change the initial setting to
your preference. See “Setup Menu Operations” on
page 34.
If “” appears on the TV screen when you press a
button, the disc cannot perform the operation you have
tried to do, or data required for that operation is not
recorded on the disc.

• The 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. 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.
