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.

Using the RDS (Radio Data System)
to Receive FM Stations
RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their
regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station
names, as well as information about what type of program they
broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned in to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the
RDS indicator lights up on the display.
RDS indicator
With the unit, you can receive the following types of RDS signals:
PS (Program Service): Shows commonly known station
names.
PTY (Program Type): Shows types of broadcast programs.

displayed. “NO PS” appears if no signal is sent.
PTY (Program Type):
While searching, “PTY” appears and then the type of the broadcast
program will be displayed. “NO PTY” appears if no signal is sent.
RT (Radio Text):
While searching, “RT” appears and then text messages the station
sends will be displayed. “NO RT” appears if no signal is sent.
Frequency:
Station frequency (non-RDS service).
Notes:
• RDS is not available for AM broadcasts.
• RDS may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not
transmitting RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.

Switching to Broadcast Program of
Your Choice Temporarily
Another convenient RDS service is called “Enhanced Other
Networks.”
This allows the unit to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of
your choice (TA, NEWS, and/or INFO) from a different station
except in the following cases:
• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM stations,
some FM stations and other sources).
• When the unit is in standby mode or in TV Direct.
Before you start, remember...
• The Enhanced Other Networks function is only applicable to
preset stations.
Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly until the
program type you want appears on the
display.
• Each time you press the button, the display changes to
show the following:
TA: Traffic Announcement in your area.
NEWS : News.
INFO :Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in
the widest sense.
CASE 2
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the
program you have selected
The unit continues to receive the station but the indicator of
received PTY code starts flashing.
«
When the program is over, the indicator of received PTY code
stops flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other Networks
function still remains activated.
To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced Other
Networks
Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the program type
(TA/NEWS/INFO) indicator goes off from the display. The unit
exits from Enhanced Other Networks standby mode and goes back
to the previously selected station.
When an emergency broadcast (Alarm ! signal) is sent from an
FM station
The unit automatically tunes in to the station except in the following
cases:
• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM stations,
some FM stations and other sources).
• When the unit is in standby mode or TV Direct.
While receiving an emergency broadcast, “Alarm !” appears on the
display.
The TEST signal is used for equipment test—whether it can
receive the Alarm ! signal correctly
The TEST signal makes the unit work in the same way as the
Alarm ! signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the unit
automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal.
While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the display.
How the Enhanced Other Networks function actually works:
CASE 1
If there is no station broadcasting the program you have
selected
The unit continues tuning in the current station.
«
When a station starts broadcasting the program you have
selected, the unit automatically switches to the station. The
indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
«
When the program is over, the unit goes back to the previously
tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Networks function still
remains activated.
Notes:
• Enhanced Other Networks data sent from some stations may not
be compatible with this unit.
• Enhanced Other Networks does not function for some FM stations
with RDS service.
• While listening to a program tuned in to by the Enhanced Other
Networks function, the station does not change even if another
networks station starts broadcasting a program of the same
Enhanced Other Networks data.
• While listening to a program tuned in to by the Enhanced Other
Networks function, you can only use the TA/NEWS/INFO and
DISPLAY as the buttons for the tuner operations.
• If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned in
by the Enhanced Other Networks function and the current station,
press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly to cancel the Enhanced Other
Networks function.
If you do not press the button, the current station is received finally,
and the unit turns off the indication for the Enhanced Other
Networks data type from the display.

■ All Channel Stereo
For DVD AUDIO multichannel surround, see page 47.
■ Dolby Surround
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.
• You cannot select Dolby Pro Logic II when playing back DVD
AUDIO.
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 modes—Movie 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 8.)
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 8.)
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.
• You cannot select DAP modes when playing back DVD
AUDIO.
The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion consists
of direct sound and indirect sound—early 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 on the next page).
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.

up on the display.
■ All Channel Stereo
This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the
connected (and activated) speakers.
• You cannot select All Channel Stereo when playing back DVD
AUDIO.
All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and rear
speakers are connected to this receiver without respect to the
center speaker connection.

Disc Information
7 Playable Disc Types
This unit has been designed to play back the following discs:
DVD VIDEO, DVD AUDIO, 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 49 and 50 and about JPEG, see “JPEG Disc Playback” on pages 51 and 52.
• 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-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, DVD AUDIO, 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.
• You can play back DVD-R recorded with the DVD VIDEO format, but some may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or
recording conditions.
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 PAL whose Region Code numbers
include “2.”
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 53 to 62.)
If “
” appears on the TV screen when you press a button,
the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do, or
data required for that operation is not recorded on the disc.
DVD VIDEO DVD AUDIOVCDSVCDCDCD-RCD-RW
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 CDformat .
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.
NOTICE : In some cases, without showing “
will not be accepted.

”, operations
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.
Example 1: DVD VIDEO
DVD AUDIO consists of “groups,” and each group may be divided
into some “tracks” (see Example 2).
Some DVD AUDIO also contain a “bonus group” that can be played
back by entering the “key number” (a kind of password). Usually
the contents of “bonus group” are not opened to the public.
Note that most DVD AUDIO include other information in addition
to audio, such as still pictures, movies, and text.
VCD, SVCD, and CD consist of “tracks” (see Example 3).
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 37).
Example 2: DVD AUDIO
Example 3 : VCD/SVCD/CD
Note:
• While operating VCD or SVCD using the menu, some of the
functions such as repeat play may not work.

This unit can play back MP3 files on a CD-R or CD-RW. We call such a disc “MP3 disc” in this instruction.
• Before using the remote control, press DVD to change the remote control operation mode for the MP3 disc operations.
• Turn on your TV and select the correct input mode on the TV.
If “
” appears on the TV when you press a button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do.
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 versions—ID3v1 (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 56.)
• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc
characteristics or recording conditions.

This unit can play back JPEG files on a CD-R or CD-RW. We call such a disc “JPEG disc” in this instruction.
• Before using the remote control, press DVD to change the remote control operation mode for the JPEG disc operations.
• Turn on your TV and select the correct input mode on the TV.
If “
” appears on the TV when you press a button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do.
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.
• If there are any type files other than JPEG files in a folder, those
files are also counted in the total file number.
Slide-show Playback
You can play back the still pictures one after another automatically
—slide-show playback.
You can also use the buttons on the front panel if they have the
similar names as those on the remote control.
• Before using the remote control, press DVD to change the
remote control operation mode.
7 Starting slide-show playback
Load a JPEG disc, then press 3.
The slide-show playback starts. Each file (still picture) is shown on
the TV for about 3 seconds, then changed to the next file one after
another.
When all files in a group have been played back, the unit plays back
files in the next group.
Notes:
• JPEG 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 a JPEG 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.
• The unit can play JPEG files only with the following file
extensions: “.jpg,” “.jpeg,” “.JPG,” “.JPEG” and any uppercase and
lowercase combinations (such as “.Jpg”).
• It is recommended you to 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 longer time to be shown.)
• If both JPEG files and MP3 files are recorded on a disc, set the
MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE menu to “JPEG.”
(See page 56.)
• 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.
• Some JPEG discs may not be played back because of their disc
characteristics or recording conditions.

Glossary for DVD Player
Aspect ratio
The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The
horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3 and that of
wide-screen TVs is 16:9.
Chapter
The smallest division on DVD VIDEO. It is a division of a title and
similar to a track for CD or VCD.
Component video signal
A video signal system where parts of information necessary for
reproducing image signal comprised of the three primary colors of
light are transmitted via separate signal lines. Types of signal, such
as R/G/B, Y/P
B/PR, etc., are available.
Composite video signal
A video signal comprised of three kinds of signals combined: an
image signal made up of luminance and chrominance signals using
the frequency multiplication technique, burst signal providing the
basis for color reproduction, and synchronization signal.
Disc menu
A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images, sounds,
subtitles, multi-angle, etc. recorded on DVD VIDEO.
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.
Multichannel
DVD VIDEO has been designed to have each soundtrack constitute
one sound field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks
having three or more channels.
Multilanguage
When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is
generally called a multilanguage title.
Parental Lock
A feature of this system to automatically determine whether or not
to reproduce particular DVD VIDEO software by comparing its
parental level (a measure of undesirability of scenes, etc. from
educational viewpoint) set for the software beforehand with that set
on this system by the user; if the software’s level is less restrictive
than the user-set level, it will be reproduced.
Playback control (PBC)
Refers to the signal recorded on VCD/SVCD for controlling
reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on VCD/SVCD that
supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as
software having a search function.
Region code
A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the regions
designated beforehand. All the countries in the world are divided
into six regions and each region is identified by a specified region
code (or region number). If the region code of a disc matches that of
a player, the player can play back the disc.
Letter box
A method of displaying wide images like movies in on a 4:3 TV
screen with no part of the image deleted by placing black bands on
the top and bottom of the screen. This name has derived from the
screen form looking literally like a letter box.
Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)
A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for
later processing with no data compression used in conversion.
MP3
A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the
abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio
Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain
about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.
Multi-angle
By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in a
single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is called the
multi-angle function.
Sampling frequency
Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted to digital
data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how many times
the original analog signal is sampled per second.
Surround
A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of realism
by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.
Transfer rate
The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in bit per
second (bps). The DVD system applies a variable transfer rate
system for high efficiency.
