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 plug 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

Playable disc types

This system has been designed to play back the following discs: DVD VIDEO, DVD AUDIO, Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD (SVCD), Audio CD (CD), CD-R and CD-RW.

• This system accommodates the PAL system, and also can play discs recorded with NTSC system. Note that the NTSC video signal on a disc is converted to the PAL60 signal and output.

• This system can also play MP3, WMA, JPEG and MPEG4 files recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs. (A pg. 18)

• This system can also play finalized DVD-R/-RWs recorded in DVD VIDEO format. However, some discs may not be played because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.

Discs you can play:

DVD VIDEO CD

DVD AUDIO CD-R

VCD CD-RW

SVCD

DVD Logo is a trademark of DVD Format/Logo Licensing Corporation.

Region code of DVD VIDEO

DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own Region Code numbers. 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:

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

• 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.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

• User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized”.

• This system can play CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD format. This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3, WMA, JPEG or MPEG4 files are recorded on them. However, some discs 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, WMA, JPEG or MPEG4 disc are 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 or WMA disc may be skipped or may

not be played back normally.

• Some files on a JPEG or MPEG4 disc may be played back

distortedly.

• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.

ALL

If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and playback cannot start.

About discs

Notes on MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs

• MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the directory/file configuration.)

• When making an MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 for the disc format.

• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20 sessions).

• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.

• The system can only play MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 files with

the following file extensions; MP3: “.MP3”, “.Mp3”, “.mP3” and “.mp3” WMA: “.wma”, “.WMA” and any uppercase and lowercase

combination (such as “.Wma”)

JPEG: “.jpg”, “.jpeg”, “.JPG”, “.JPEG” and any uppercase and

lowercase combination (such as “.Jpg”)

MPEG4: “.asf”, “.ASF” and any uppercase and lowercase

combination (such as “.Asf”)

• If different type of files (audio (MP3/WMA), still picture (JPEG), and video (MPEG4) files) are recorded on a disc, set the FILE TYPE setting in the PICTURE menu to the appropriate setting for the data to be read. (A pg. 35)

• 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 1000. For example, if you set FILE TYPE to AUDIO (A pg. 35) and play a disc that contains 500 MP3 tracks, 200 JPEG files, and 600 WMA tracks, the system can play 500 MP3 tracks and the first 500 of 600 WMA tracks.

• Some MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs may not be played back normally because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.

Notes on MP3/WMA discs only

• The system supports MP3 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. 26)

• 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.

• Some tracks may be skipped or may not be played back normally. * For WMA only

Notes on JPEG discs only

• We recommend 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 displayed.)

• This system can only play baseline JPEG files.

• Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.

Notes on MPEG4 disc only

• The system supports the types of simple profile as MPEG4 files (MPEG4 SP).

• The system supports MPEG4 files recorded with the maximum bit rate of 384 kbps and an audio codec of G.726. (To play the MPEG4 file, it is required that G.726 formatted audio data is contained in that file.)

• The maximum size of the played picture is at a 352 x 288 pixel resolution (CIF).

• Some files may be skipped or may not be played normally.

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) when receiving FM stations

See page 38 for button locations.

With the system, 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. RT (Radio Text): Shows text messages the station sends. Enhanced Other Network: See page 41.

NOTE

• RDS is not available for AM (MW) broadcasts.

• RDS may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not transmitting

RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.

IMPORTANT

Before using the remote control for the following operation; 1 Set the remote control mode selector to

AUDIO.

2 Press FM/AM.

7 To show the RDS signals information

Press RDS DISPLAY while listening to an FM station.

Each time you press the button, the indication on the display window changes.

PS (Program Service): While searching, “PS” appears and then the station names will be 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).

About characters shown on the display window

When PS, PTY, or RT signals appear on the display window, some special characters and marks may not be displayed correctly.

NOTE

• If searching finishes at once, “PS”, “PTY”, and “RT” will not appear on the display window.

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 window.

Searching for a program by PTY codes

One of the advantages of the RDS service is that you can locate a particular kind of program from the preset channels (A pg. 38) by specifying the PTY codes.

7 To search for a program using the PTY codes

NOTE

Before you start operation;

• The PTY Search is only applicable to preset stations.

• To stop searching any time during the process, press PTY SEARCH

while searching.

• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.

1 Press PTY SEARCH while listening to

an FM station.

“PTY SELECT” flashes on the display window.

While “PTY SELECT” is flashing:

2 Press PTY 9 or PTY ( until the PTY

code you want appears on the display window.

• For details, see “Description of the PTY codes”.

While the PTY code selected in step 2 is still on the display window:

3 Press PTY SEARCH again.

While searching, “SEARCH” and the selected PTY code alternate on the display window. The system searches 30 preset FM stations, stops when it finds the one you have selected, and tunes in that station.

To continue searching after the first stop

Press PTY SEARCH again while the indications on the display window are flashing. If no program is found, “NOT FOUND” appears on the display window.

See page 38 for button locations.

Switching to broadcast program of your choice temporarily

Another convenient RDS service is called “Enhanced Other Network”. This allows the system 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 – MW stations, some FM stations and other sources).

• When the system is in standby mode.

NOTE

Before you start operations;

• The Enhanced Other Network function is only applicable to preset stations.

IMPORTANT

Before using the remote control for the following operation; 1 Set the remote control mode selector to

AUDIO.

2Press FM/AM.

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly until the program type indicator (TA/NEWS/INFO) you want appears on the display window.

Each time you press the button, the indicator on the display window changes.

1 103.50M

The program type indicator

TA: Traffic Announcement in your area. NEWS: News. INFO: Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in the

widest sense.

To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced Other Network

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the program type indicator (TA/NEWS/INFO) goes off from the display window. The system exits from Enhanced Other Network standby mode and goes back to the previously selected station.

When an emergency broadcast (Alarm ! signal) is sent from an FM station

The system automatically tunes in to the station and “Alarm !” appears on the display window while the system receiving the emergency broadcast. Note that an emergency broadcast cannot be received in the following cases;

• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM – MW stations, some FM stations and other sources).

• When the system is in standby mode.

The TEST signal is used for equipment test — whether it can receive the Alarm signal correctly

The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as the Alarm signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the system automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal. While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the display window.

7 How the Enhanced Other Network function actually

works

Case 1

If there is no station broadcasting the program you have selected

The system continues tuning in to the current station.

‘

When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected, the system automatically switches to the station. The indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.

‘

When the program is over, the system goes back to the previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Network function still remains activated.

Case 2

If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the program you have selected

The system 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 Network function still remains activated.

NOTE

• In Enhanced Other Network standby mode, if you change the source to play, Enhanced Other Network standby mode is canceled temporarily. If you change the source to FM again, the system returns to Enhanced Other Network standby mode.

• Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this system.

• Enhanced Other Network does not function for some FM stations with RDS service.

• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced Other Network data.

• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network function, you can only use TA/NEWS/INFO and RDS DISPLAY as the tuner operation buttons.
