Getting Started

Before Installation
General Precautions
DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit.
DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Locations
Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from moisture.
The temperature around the unit must be between –5˚C and 35˚C (23˚F and 95˚F).
Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation could cause overheating and damage the unit.
Handling the unit
DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.
DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug it. When unplugging
the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection, since it is well-shielded against interference.
When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord, the preset settings such as preset FM or AM channels and sound adjustments may be erased in a few days.
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the unit.
1
On the back of the remote control, remove the battery cover.
2
Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
English
Checking the Supplied Accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories. The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces supplied.
Remote Control (1)
Batteries (2)
AM Loop Antenna (1)
FM Antenna (1)
Composite Video Cord (1)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.
3
Replace the cover.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may
differ in voltage.
Always replace both batteries at the same time.
Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

Dolby Pro Logic II*
Dolby Pro Logic II has newly developed multichannel playback
format to decode into 5.1-channel from all 2-channel sources stereo source and Dolby Digital encoded source. Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the rear treble and enables stereo rear sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic II enables to reproduce spacious sound from original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations. Dolby Pro Logic II has two modesMovie mode and Music mode:
Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)—suitable for reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark and stereo television sources. You can enjoy sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1-channel sounds. Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)—suitable for reproduction of any 2-channel stereo music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep sound by using this mode.
When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the PRO LOGIC II indicator lights up on the display.
Dolby Digital*
Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby Digital (
To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this unit. (See page 10.)
Dolby Digital 5.1-channel encoding method (so-called discrete multichannel digital audio format) records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel signals. Since each channel is completely independent from the other channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much better sound quality with much stereo and surround effects.
).
DTS Digital Surround**
Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround ( ).
To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, connect the source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this unit. (See page 10.)
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete multichannel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression ratio is relatively low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.
Typical Multichannel (5.1-channel) reproduction
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic surround elements.
The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion consists of direct sound and indirect soundearly reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls (see the diagram below). These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound field by adding these indirect sounds.
DAP modes can be used when the front and rear speakers are connected to this unit (without respect to the center speaker connection: no sound comes out of the center speaker even if it is connected).
Note:
Dolby Digital or DTS software can be roughly grouped into two categories multichannel (up to 5.1-channel) and 2-channel software. To enjoy surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2-channel or DTS software, you can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers.
All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and rear speakers are connected to this receiver without respect to the center speaker connection.
If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phases of the front left and right signals are mixed and output through the center speaker.

Disc Information
7 Playable Disc Types
This unit has been designed to play back the following discs: DVD VIDEO, Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD (SVCD), audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.
This unit can also play back MP3 and JPEG files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW. For details about MP3, see MP3 Disc Playback on pages 43 and 44 and about JPEG, see JPEG Disc Playback on pages 45 and 46.
This instruction refers to Video CD as VCD, Super Video CD as SVCD, and audio CD as CD.
Discs you can play:
Disc Type
Mark (Logo)
The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD AUDIO, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc. Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers.
On some DVD VIDEO, VCD, or SVCD, their actual operations may be different from what is explained in this manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure, but not a malfunction of this unit.
DVD VIDEO VCD SVCD CD CD-R CD-RW
Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVD VIDEO have their own Region Code numbers. This unit can play back only DVD VIDEO recorded with the color system of NTSC whose Region Code numbers include “1.”
Ex. :
If a DVD VIDEO with the wrong Region Code numbers is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV and playback cannot start.
IMPORTANT : Before playing a disc, make sure of the following...
Check the connection with the TV.
Turn on the TV and select the correct input mode on the TV to
view the pictures or on-screen indications on the TV screen.
For disc playback, you can change the initial setting to your preference. (See pages 47 to 55.)

If the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do, or data required for that operation is not recorded on the disc.
NOTICE : In some cases, without showing

, operations
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
User-edited CD-R (Recordable) and CD-RW (ReWritable) can be played back only if they are already finalized.
The unit can play back CD-R or CD-RW recorded on a personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD format. The unit can also play back CD-R or CD-RW if MP3 files or JPEG files are recorded on them. However, they may not be played back because of their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them. Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3 disc or a JPEG disc is determined by the writing (encoding) software and hardware used for recording. Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the following symptoms may occur:
Some discs may not be played back.Some tracks on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not be
played back normally.
Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.
Before playing back CD-R or CD-RW, read their instructions
or cautions carefully.
CD-RW may require a longer readout time. It is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RW is lower than for regular audio CD.
29
7 Disc structure
DVD VIDEO consists of titles,” and each title may be divided into some chapters (see Example 1). For example, if DVD VIDEO contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number and it may be further divided into some chapters. In DVD VIDEO Karaoke, each song may have its own title number, but it may not be further divided into chapters.
VCD, SVCD, and CD consist of tracks” (see Example 2). In general, each track has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be divided by Indexes. This unit is not compatible with Index function.)
7 Playback Control function (PBC)
The Playback Control function allows you to enjoy menu-driven operation.
Menu-driven playback
A selection menu is displayed when you start playing VCD and SVCD with the Playback Control feature. The selection menu shows a list of numbers for selection. Some discs may show moving pictures or a divided screen. You can interact with the screen using a menu display to select and play an entry. See the example illustration on the right about basic feature of menu-driven playback (for details about the operation through the menu, see also page 33).

What is MP3?
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as many songs as a regular CD can.
Disc structure
On an MP3 disc, each song (material) is recorded as a file. Files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers. This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages files and folders by “tracks” and “groups.
Up to 99 groups
Up to 150 tracks
This unit can recognize up to 150 tracks per group and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 tracks in total). Since the unit ignores the tracks whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the groups whose numbers are exceeding 99, they cannot be played back.
If there are any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total file number.
Notes:
MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time
than normal discs. (It depends on the complexity of the folder/file configuration.)
When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2
as the disc format.
This unit supports multi-session discs (up to 5 sessions).
This unit cannot play packet write discs.
This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file
extensions: “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”
ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display.
*
An MP3 file can contain file information called ID3 Tag where its album name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded. There are two versionsID3v1 (ID3 Tag version 1) and ID3v2 (ID3 Tag version 2).
It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at sampling rate
of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. The unit cannot play back the files made at bit rate of under 64 kbps.
If both MP3 files and JPEG files are recorded on a disc, set the
MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE menu to “MP3. (See page 50.)
Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc
characteristics or recording conditions.

What is JPEG?
A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features little distortion in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.
Disc structure
On a JPEG disc, each still picture (material) is recorded as a file. Files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers. This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages folders by “groups.”
Up to 99 groups
Up to 150 files
This unit can recognize up to 150 files per group and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 files in total). Since the unit ignores the files whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the groups whose numbers are exceeding 99, they cannot be played back.
