diagrams of the remote control supplied with
DD-8/DD-3. If you are operating DD-1,
please keep in mind the differences between
your remote control shown on page 4.
• Some diagrams in this manual are simplified
or exaggerated for the purpose of explanation.
• You can operate some functions differently
from the explanation given in this manual.
• Depending on the disc/file, you may not
obtain the explained result even after following the operation in this manual.
• The following marks refer to the usable
discs/files for the explained function.

■ CAUTION
• An incorrect connection may damage the speakers. Properly connect the cables to the speaker
terminals.
• Do not short-circuit the ª and · speaker terminals. Doing so may damage the main unit.
• The supplied speakers are manufactured exclusively for use with the supplied main unit as
parts of the DD-8/DD-3/DD-1 system. Do not
connect the supplied speakers to devices other
than the supplied main unit. Doing so may damage the speakers.
• Do not connect other speakers together with the
supplied speakers. The change in impedance
may damage the main unit and the speakers.
• Improper speaker cable connection spoils the
stereo effect and sound quality.
• Most of the supplied speakers* are magnetically
shielded, but color irregularity may occur on the
TV depending on some conditions. To prevent
color irregularity, set up the speakers following
the instructions below.
1. Turn off the main power of the TV before
setting up the speakers.
2. Place the speakers enough distance from the
TV so that they do not cause color irregularity
on the TV.
3. Wait for approximately 30 minutes before
turning on the main power of the TV again.
* The subwoofers for DD-3 and DD-1 are not
magnetically shielded. With the exception of
these 2 subwoofers, the supplied speakers
are magnetically shielded.

• If the picture is distorted while an HDMI TV is
connected, turn off the main unit and turn it on
again.
• A TV compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth
Digital Content Protection) can also be connected to the [HDMI] terminal, so that the
uncompressed HD video signal type can be output as well.
■ CAUTION
• Do not connect an S-video cable and a component video cable at the same time. Otherwise
the picture may not be played back properly.
• Connect the main unit directly to a TV (or a monitor) without routing through a video cassette
recorder (VCR). Otherwise picture distortion
may occur during playback. (Routing the connection through a VCR, however, does not affect
the audio quality.)

or “NTSC 720P” for a TV equipped with an HDMI
terminal and compatible with NTSC video signal.
• “480”, “576” and “720” refer to the number of the
scanning lines. Generally, the larger the number,
the better picture that can be obtained.
