Before Operating the System

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 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.

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:

• 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.

• 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 down mix. 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.

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

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

– Some MP3/JPEG 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/JPEG files with the

extension code <.mp3> 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.

Maintenance

Troubleshooting

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

To connect the speaker cords

• When connecting the speaker cords, match their polarity with that of the speaker terminals: red/blue to (+) and black to (–).

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

• 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:

• 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.

• 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 down mix. 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.

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

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

– Some MP3/JPEG 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/JPEG files with the

extension code <.mp3> 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.

Maintenance

Troubleshooting

English

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