on them.
Only sounds can be played back from the following discs:
MIX-MODE CD CD-G
CD-EXTRA CD TEXT
This system is designed for use with the PAL standard
but you can also play back discs recorded in NTSC
format. When you play back a disc recorded in NTSC

own region code numbers. This system can play back a
DVD VIDEO whose region code number includes the
system’s region code, which is indicated on the rear
panel.
Examples:
If a DVD VIDEO with an improper region code number is
loaded, playback cannot start.
• On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or
SVCDs, their actual operation may be different
from what is explained in this manual. This is due
to the disc/file programming and disc/file
structure, not a malfunction of this system.
Unplayable discs
• The following discs cannot be played back:
• DVD-ROM (except for MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG1/
MPEG2 format), DVD-RAM, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I
Ready), Photo CD, SACD, etc.

• A disc may not be played back, or reading it may take a
long time depending on its recording conditions or
properties.
• The time needed for reading varies with the number of
groups or tracks (files) recorded on the disc.
• If characters other than single-byte alphanumeric
characters are used in the file name of an MP3/WMA/
WAV/JPEG file, the track/file name is not displayed
correctly.
• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3/
WMA/WAV menu screen, and the order of files/groups
displayed on the JPEG menu screen may be different
from that of files/folders displayed on a computer
monitor screen.
• Playing back an MP3/WMA file that contains a still
image may take a long time. The elapsed time is not
displayed until playback starts. This elapsed time may
not be displayed correctly.
• For an MP3/WMA file, a disc with a sampling
frequency of 44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128
kbps is recommended.
• This system is not compatible with an MP3i or
MP3PRO file.
• This system can play back a baseline JPEG file,
excluding monochromatic JPEG files.
• This system can play back JPEG data taken with a
digital camera conforming to the DCF (Design Rule for
Camera File System) standard (when a function such
as the automatic rotation function of a digital camera is
applied, the data may no longer conform to the DCF
standard, and the image may not be displayed).

• If data has been processed, edited or restored with
computer image editing software, the data may not be
displayed.
• This system cannot play back animations such as
MOTION JPEG files, still pictures (TIFF etc.) other
than JPEG files, or image data with sound.
• The resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is recommended for
JPEG files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution
of more than 640 x 480 pixels, it may take a long time
to display the file. An image with a resolution of more
than 8 192 x 7 680 pixels cannot be displayed.
• A WAV file with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and
a quantization bit rate of 16 bits is recommended.
Notes on MPEG1/MPEG2 discs/files
• The stream structure of MPEG1/MPEG2 discs and
files should conform to MPEG system/program stream.

the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore,
the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product is
not recommended.
Introduction
Data hierarchy
DVD VIDEO/DVD VR
A DVD VIDEO consists of “titles” and each title
may be divided into “chapters”.
A DVD VR consists of “original programs” or “play
lists” and each original program/play list may be
divided into “chapters”.
Title 1/Original program 1/
Play list 1
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2
DVD AUDIO
A DVD AUDIO consists of “groups” and each group
may be divided into “tracks”.
Some discs include a “bonus group” that requires a
password for playback. (Refer to page 32.)
Group 1 Group 2
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 1 Track 2
VCD/SVCD/CD
A VCD/SVCD/CD consists of “tracks”.
In general, each track has its own track number.
(On some discs, each track may also be further
divided by indexes.)
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5
Title 2/Original
program 2/Play list 2
MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/MPEG1/MPEG2 files
Audio, still pictures and video are recorded as
tracks/files on a disc. Tracks/files are usually
grouped into a folder. Folders can also include
other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers.
This system simplifies the hierarchical construction
of files and manages folders by “groups”.
.
Group 1 Group 2
Track 1 /
File 1
Track 2 /
File 2
Up to 150 files
Up to 99 groups
Group 3 Group 4 Group 5
This system can recognize up to 4 000 tracks/files
on a disc. Also, the system can recognize up to
150 tracks/files per group and up to 99 groups on a
disc. Since the system ignores the tracks/files with
numbers exceeding 150 and the groups with
numbers exceeding 99, these cannot be played
back.
If there are any type of files other than MP3/WMA/
WAV/JPEG/MPEG1/MPEG2 files on a disc, those
files are also counted in the total number of files.

Features of the main feet and studs
Getting started
The use of three main feet on the bottom of the
main unit enables higher sound quality while
maintaining the stability of the main unit.
Main feet (3)
Stud (1)
Stud
The height of the studs are slightly
shorter than the main feet.

In addition, the two studs on the bottom help
stabilize the main unit and prevent it from wobbling
or tipping when nudged from above. Because the
studs are slightly shorter than the main feet, the
studs do not come in contact with the mounted
surface, leaving the main feet to support the main
unit.

• The speakers of this product are magnetically
shielded, but color irregularities may occur on
the TV depending on how the speakers are
installed. Keep in mind the following.
1. Turn off the main power of your TV before
installing the speakers. Wait for about 30
minutes before turning on the TV again.
2. If color irregularity occurs in pictures, keep a
