Introduction
Notes on handling
7 Important cautions
Installation of the system
• Select 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.
• Do not use the system in a place subject to vibration.
Power cord
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
• A small amount of power is always consumed while the power
cord is connected to the wall outlet (center unit only).
• When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always
pull on the plug, not the power cord.
To prevent malfunctions of the system
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes
wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.
• Do not insert any metallic object into the system.
• Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart, flower or
credit card, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage
the system.
• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it
may damage the system.
7 Safety precautions
Avoid moisture, water and dust
Do not place the system in moist or dusty places.
Avoid high temperatures
Do not expose the system to direct sunlight and do not place it near
a heating device.
When you are away
When away on travel or for other reasons for an extended period of
time, disconnect the power cord plugs from the wall outlet.
Do not block the vents
Blocking the vents may damage the system.
Care of the cabinet
When cleaning the system, use a soft cloth and follow the relevant
instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths. Do not use
benzene, thinner or other organic solvents including disinfectants.
These may cause deformation or discoloring.
If water gets inside the system
Turn the system off and disconnect the power cord plug from the
wall outlet, then call the store where you made your purchase.
Using the system in this condition may cause fire or electrical
shock.

About discs
p
Playable disc types
This system has been designed to play back the following discs:
DVD VIDEO DVD AUDIO
VCD/SVCD Audio CD
Notes on DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM
• This system can also play finalized DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs
recorded in DVD VIDEO format and DVD-RWs or DVD-RAMs
recorded in DVD VR format.
• This system can also play DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs if MP3, WMA,
and JPEG files are recorded on them with UDF Bridge format.
This system does not support “multi-border” discs.
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
• This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3, WMA and
JPEG files are recorded on them with ISO 9660 format.
• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20 sessions).
• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.
Some discs may not be played back because of their disc
characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.
• DVD Logo is a trademark of DVD Format/Logo Licensing
Corporation.
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the
“Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of
Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be
recommended.
• This system accommodates the NTSC and PAL system. When
you play an NTSC disc with the scan mode set to “PAL”
(A pg. 19), the NTSC video signal is converted to the PAL60
signal and output.
• 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 programming and disc structure,
not a malfunction of this system.
• Before playing back discs, read their instructions or cautions
carefully.
Region code of DVD VIDEO
This system can play back DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code
numbers include the system’s Region Code, which is indicated on
the rear panel.
Example of playable DVD:
For Middle East
For Southeast Asia
For Australia, Central and South America
If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,
“REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and
playback cannot start.
Unplayable discs:
SACD, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
Notes on file types
For all playable files
• The system can only recognize and play files with one of the
following extensions, which can be in any combination of upper
and lower case;
MP3: “.MP3”, “.mp3”
WMA: “.WMA” , “.wma”
JPEG: “.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”
• The system recognizes up to 150 tracks (files) per group, 99
groups per disc, and the total number of the tracks (files) that the
system can play is 4000.
• Some files may not be played back normally because of their disc
characteristics or recording conditions.
For MP3/WMA files
• The system supports MP3/WMA files recorded with a bit rate of
32 – 320 kbps and a sampling frequency of 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz,
24 kHz*, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.
• If the tag information (album name, artist, and track title, etc.) is
recorded on a disc, it appears in the file control display on the TV
screen. (A pg. 30)
• We recommend to record each piece of material (song) at a
sample rate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of
128 (96*) kbps.
* For WMA only
For JPEG files
• We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution.
• This system can only play baseline JPEG files.

• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.
• The front and center speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color
distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they 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. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
• The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded.
If it is located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause
color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the
speaker nearby the TV or monitor.
• Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you place
the powered subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance
between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.
