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 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.

Additional Information

Learning More about This System

Connections

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords and power cord. Also, keep the
antennas away from metallic parts of the System,
connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause
poor reception.

• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as
indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the System.

• 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 instruction. If this happens, move the
speakers away from the TV.

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.

• 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.

(see pages 3 to 5)

(see pages 7 to 10)

• For MP3 playback...
– MP3 discs are required a longer readout time than regular

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

– Some MP3 files cannot be played back and will be

skipped. This results from their recording processes and
conditions.

– When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level

2 for the disc format.

– This System can play back MP3 files with the extension

code <.mp3> (regardless of the letter case—upper/
lower).

– It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a

sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.
This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less
than 64 kbps.

Daily Operations—Sound & Other Adjustments

(see pages 11 to 14)

Adjusting the Sound:

• This function also affects the sound through the
headphones.

Presetting Automatic DVD Video Sound Increase Level:

• This also functions for DVD-VR formatted discs.

Changing the Scanning Mode:

• You cannot change the scanning mode to progressive in the
following cases:
– When your TV does not support the progressive video

input.

– When you have not connected your TV to the system

using a component video cord.

Setting the Clock:

• “AM12:00” will flash on the display until you set the
clock.

• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this
happens, reset the clock.

Unique DVD/VCD Operations

English

Selecting the Audio Track:

• On some DVD Videos, you cannot change audio languages
while playing back.

Special Effect Playback:

• During slow-motion playback, no sound will be
reproduced.

• While zoomed in, the picture may look coarse.

Advanced Disc Operations

item number that does not exist on the disc (for example,
selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks).

Playing Repeatedly:

• A-B Repeat can be used within the same title while playing
a DVD Video, and within the same track for the other discs.

On-Screen Disc Operations

Operations Using the On-screen Bar:

• For DVD-RW/RAM in the VR format, “PG” or “PL”
appears instead of “TITLE” on the on-screen bar.

Operations on the Control Screen:

• For JPEG files playback...
– It is recommended that you record a file at 640 x 480

resolution. (If a file has been recorded at a resolution of
more than 640 x 480, it will take a long time to be
shown.)

– This System can play only baseline JPEG files*.

Progressive JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot
be played.
* Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras,

Progressive JPEG format: Used for web.
Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used

• This System can play back JPEG files with the extension
code <.jpg> or <.jpeg> (regardless of the letter case—
upper/lower).

• This System may not play back JPEG files properly if they
are recorded on the devices other than digital still camera.

• During slide-show playback, zoom cannot be operated.

• For DVD-VR playback...
– When making a disc, use the UDF-Bridge format.
– For details about DVD-VR format and play list, refer to

the manual of the recording equipment.

– If you use a DVD-RAM with a cartridge, take the disc

out of the cartridge before inserting.

– You cannot use reverse slow motion, Program Play, and

Timer Operations

Setting the Timer:

• If you do not specify the preset station or track number
correctly while setting a timer, the currently selected
station or the first track will be played when timer is
activated.

• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure
occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the
clock first, then the timer again.

• If you set DVD Video as the source, Daily Timer will not
work correctly.

PICTURE menu—MONITOR TYPE:

• Even if “4:3 PS” is selected, the screen size may become
4:3 letter box while playing a disc. This depends on how
the discs are recorded.

• When you select “16:9” for a picture whose aspect ratio is
4:3, the picture slightly changes due to the process for
converting the picture width.

OTHERS menu—ON SCREEN GUIDE:

• The setup menu and on-screen bar will be displayed (and
recorded) even though this function is set to “OFF.”
Subtitles and the information for zoom-in always appear on
the display regardless of this setting.

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs
and mechanism clean.

Handling discs

• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge
while pressing the center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.

• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when
placing it back in its case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes,
and moisture.

To clean the disc:

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center
to edge.

Cleaning the System

• Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System
is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water­diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean
with a dry cloth.

• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the
following:
– DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
– DO NOT wipe it strong.
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as

insecticides to it.

– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact

for a long time.
