Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.

• 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.

• 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

•

A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat buildup inside the unit.

For safety, observe the following carefully:

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the unit.

• DO NOT block the cooling fan and 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.

DVD Video—digital audio formats

The System can play back the following digital audio formats.

Linear PCM:

• format used for CDs and most studio masters.

•

Dolby Digital:

Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode to create the 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.

When playing a multi-channel encoded DVD, the System properly converts these multi-channel signals into 2 channels, and emits the downmixed sound from the speakers.

•

To enjoy the powerful sound of these multi-channel encoded DVDs,

with a proper built-in decoder to the digital output terminal on the rear.

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 31.

Additional Information

Learning More about This System

Getting Started

Changing the Scanning Mode

• To enjoy the progressive video picture, connect a TV with the progressive video input using component video cord.

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:

• When using an 8 cm disc, place it on the inner circle of the disc tray.

• 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 discs* in more than one tray are loaded on the disc trays, they are played in sequence as follows: Ex.:When DISC 2 is selected:

DISC 2] (then stops)

* When no disc is loaded on the tray, that disc number is

skipped.

• You can exchange discs while playing or selecting another disc.

• Some DVD Audio discs prohibit downmixed output. 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.

• 3D Phonic setting is also applied to the optical digital output signals through the DVD OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT terminal.

• When using Resume on SVCD or VCD with PBC, the playback might start on a position slightly different from where you have stopped.

• You can use Resume only for the DVD/SVCD/VCD except for some discs—depending how the disc is programmed.

• For MP3/WMA/JPEG playback... – This System cannot play “packet write” discs.

– MP3/WMA/JPEG discs are required a longer readout

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

– Some MP3/WMA/JPEG files cannot be played back and

will be skipped. This result from their recording processes and conditions.

– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1

or Level 2 for the disc format.

(see pages 3 to 6)

DISC 3]

DISC 4]

(see pages 10 to 13)

DISC 5]

DISC 1

– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the

extension code <.mp3>, <.wma> or <.jpg> (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.

– This System can recognize the total of 1000 tracks and of

99 groups (each group can contain up to 150 tracks). Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be recognized.

but only work for going back to the beginning of the current chapter or track.

(see pages 18 to 20)

(see pages 21 to 23)

37

On-Screen Disc Operations

(see pages 24 to 28)

• 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,

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

now.

– This System may not play back JPEG files properly

which are recorded by the devices other than digital still camera.

– If progressive or lossless JPEG files are played back, a

black screen appears. In this case, stop playback and select a baseline JPEG file. Note that it may take a long time to select another file.

Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.

• 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.

• 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

•

A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat buildup inside the unit.

For safety, observe the following carefully:

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the unit.

• DO NOT block the cooling fan and 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.

DVD Video—digital audio formats

The System can play back the following digital audio formats.

Linear PCM:

• format used for CDs and most studio masters.

•

Dolby Digital:

Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode to create the 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.

When playing a multi-channel encoded DVD, the System properly converts these multi-channel signals into 2 channels, and emits the downmixed sound from the speakers.

•

To enjoy the powerful sound of these multi-channel encoded DVDs,

with a proper built-in decoder to the digital output terminal on the rear.

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 31.

• To play back a bonus group, you have to enter the specific “key number” (a kind of password) for the bonus group. The way of getting the key number depends on the disc.

Additional Information

Learning More about This System

Getting Started

Changing the Scanning Mode

• To enjoy the progressive video picture, connect a TV with the progressive video input using component video cord.

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:

• When using an 8 cm disc, place it on the inner circle of the disc tray.

• 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 discs* in more than one tray are loaded on the disc trays, they are played in sequence as follows: Ex.:When DISC 2 is selected:

DISC 2] (then stops)

* When no disc is loaded on the tray, that disc number is

skipped.

• You can exchange discs while playing or selecting another disc.

• Some DVD Audio discs prohibit downmixed output. 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.

• 3D Phonic setting is also applied to the optical digital output signals through the DVD OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT terminal.

• When using Resume on SVCD or VCD with PBC, the playback might start on a position slightly different from where you have stopped.

• You can use Resume only for the DVD/SVCD/VCD except for some discs—depending how the disc is programmed.

• For MP3/WMA/JPEG playback... – This System cannot play “packet write” discs.

– MP3/WMA/JPEG discs are required a longer readout

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

– Some MP3/WMA/JPEG files cannot be played back and

will be skipped. This result from their recording processes and conditions.

– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1

or Level 2 for the disc format.

(see pages 3 to 6)

DISC 3]

DISC 4]

(see pages 10 to 13)
