Introduction

Precautions

IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc/file, 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.

• For disc/file playback, you can change the initial setting to your preference. Refer to “Setup Menu” in “Operating Guide.”

If “ ” appears on the TV screen when you press a button, the disc/file cannot perform the operation you have tried to do.

• When playing a multi-channel encoded software, the System properly converts the multi-channel signals into 2 channels, and emits the downmixed sound from the speakers. To enjoy the powerful sound of these multichannel encoded software, connect a proper decoder or an amplifier with a proper built-in decoder to the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT terminal on the rear.

About color system

This System accommodates both PAL and NTSC system and can play back discs/files recorded in either system. To change the color system, see “Preparations.”

Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers. This System can play back only DVDs with Region Code numbers including “4.” Ex.:

• “REGION ERR” appears if DVD with a wrong Region Code is loaded.

Playable Disc/File Types

• CD-R/-RW: Recorded in the Audio CD, Video CD, and SVCD formats. MP3, WMA, WAV, JPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, ASF, and DivX files written in accordance with the “ISO 9660” format can also be played.

• DVD-R/-RW, +R/+RW: MP3, WMA, WAV, JPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, ASF, and DivX files written in the UDF-Bridge format can be played.

• DVD-R/-RW: Recorded in the DVD Video format and the DVD Video Recording (VR) format.

• DVD+R: Recorded in the DVD Video format.

• USB device: MP3, WMA, WAV, JPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, ASF, and DivX* files.

In addition to the above discs/files, this System can play back audio data recorded on CD-Extra and CD-G (CD-Graphics).

• The following discs cannot be played back: DVD-RAM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), and Photo CD. Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the

speakers.

• CD Text and DVD Text can be played, but text information will not be shown on the display.

• This System can play back Everio file with the extension code <.mod> recorded on DVD, CD*, and USB device*.

* Only when the maximum bit rate is less than 2 Mbps.

Caution for DualDisc playback

The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of the Non-DVD side of a DualDisc in this product may not be recommended.

Notes on the power cord

• When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended period of time, remove the plug from the wall outlet.

• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the System or moving the System.

• Do not alter, twist or pull the power cord, or put anything heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents.

• If the cord is damaged, consult a dealer and have the power cord replaced with a new one.

Avoid moisture, water, dust, and high temperatures

• Do not place the System in moist or dusty places.

• If water gets inside the System, turn off the power and remove the plug from the wall outlet, then consult your dealer. Using the System in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not expose the System to direct sunlight or place it near a heating device.

Notes on installation

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

• Do not install the System in a place subject to vibrations.

• Do not put heavy objects on the System.

• Do not drag or push the speakers on the floor or table; otherwise, the four feet at the bottom side of each speaker may peel off or drop from the speaker.

To prevent malfunction or damage of the System

Learning More about This System

Connections

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords or the power cord. Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the power cord. These 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 instructions. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.

• You cannot connect a computer and JVC Everio camcorder to the USB terminals of the System.

• Electrostatic shock at connecting a USB device may cause abnormal playback of the device. In this case, disconnect the USB device then turn off this unit.

Preparations

To change the color system and scanning mode:

• You cannot display a high quality image of progressive scanning 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.

Connections Preparations

Preparing the remote control

Insert the batteries into the remote control by matching the polarity (+ and –) correctly.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace both batteries.

Caution:

Be careful your children do not put the batteries into their mouths.

To change the color system and scanning mode

You can select the video output to match it to the color system of your TV (PAL or NTSC).

• If you connect a progressive TV through the component video cords, you can enjoy a high quality picture by selecting progressive scanning mode.

• You can change the setting only while playback is stopped.

While “DVD/CD” is selected as the source and playback is stopped...

PAL/NTSC

For a conventional PAL or NTSC TV.

PAL PRGR / NTSC PRGR

For a progressive PAL or NTSC TV.

Do not connect the power cord until all other connections have been made.
