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 (41°F and 95°F).
• 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.
–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.

Additional Information
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 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.
• This System can recognize up to 4 000 files in a disc. Also,
the System can recognize up to 150 files per group and up
to 99 groups in a disc.
– If there are any unplayable files in a folder, those files are
also counted in the total file number.
– Playable files which do not belong to any groups are
handled as Group 1.
• 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).
(see pages 1 to 2)
Uncompressed digital audio, the same
