About discs

COMPACT

DIGITAL AUDIO

Playable disc types

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

• This system can also play back MP3 and JPEG files recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs. For in-depth information about MP3, see “MP3 disc playback” on page 55, and about JPEG, see “JPEG disc playback” on page 57.

• We refer to DVD Video as DVD in this manual.

Discs you can play:

Disc Type

Mark (Logo)

Video Format

Region Code

Number*

• The following discs cannot be played back: –DVD Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.

Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers.

–8 cm disc

An 8 cm disc cannot be played back in this system. (Do not attempt to insert an 8 cm disc using an adaptor. Doing so will damage the system.)

• On some DVD, Video CD, or SVCD discs, 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 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.” –The system can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD

format. The system can also play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs 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-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 for

regular CDs.

DVD Video CD SVCD Audio CD CD-R CD-RW

PAL

ALL

* Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers. This system can play back only DVDs recorded with the color system of PAL whose Region Code numbers include “2.”

Examples:

If a DVD with the improper Region Code numbers is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR” appears on the display 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 DVD playback, you can change the initial setting to your preference. (See pages 59 to 69.)

appears on the TV screen when pressing a button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do, or

information required for that operation is not recorded on the disc. NOTICE: In some cases, without showing

, operations will not be accepted.

About discs

Disc structure

A DVD Video disc consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided into some “chapters.” (See Example 1.) For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and it may be further divided into some chapters. On the other hand, a Video CD, SVCD, and Audio 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.)

Example 1: DVD

Example 2 : Video CD/SVCD/Audio CD

Playback Control function (PBC)

The Playback Control function allows you to enjoy menu-driven operation and high-resolution still images which have a resolution four times greater than moving pictures.

• High-resolution still image display

You can display high-quality images four times clearer than moving pictures.

• Menu-driven playback

A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a Video CD and SVCD disc 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 example illustration below about basic feature of menu-driven playback (for details about the operation through the menu, see also page 43).

NOTE:

While operating a Video CD or SVCD using the menu, some of the functions such as repeat play may not work.

Installing the equipment on the wall

When attaching the rear speakers to a wall

Using the supplied speaker wall brackets, you can fix the rear speakers to the wall.

CAUTION: Attaching the brackets to the wall

When attaching the brackets to the wall, have them attached to the wall by a qualified person. DO NOT attach the brackets to the wall by yourself to avoid an unexpected damage due to their falling from the wall, caused by incorrect attachment or weakness in the wall.

Location of attachment to wall:

Take care when selecting a location for attaching rear speakers to the wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to equipment, may result if the speakers are attached in a location which interferes with daily activities.

Attaching speakers to the brackets

1 Use the supplied screws to attach the brackets to the rear speakers.

2 Adjust the angle of the rear speakers.

Loosen the screw slightly, make an adjustment, and then tighten the screw firmly.

CAUTION:

If the screws are not tightened firmly, this may cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment.

When attaching the AM (MW) loop antenna to a wall

You can attach the AM (MW) loop antenna to the wall.

Mount the AM (MW) loop antenna to a wall using the screw (not supplied) as illustrated below.

Getting started

When attaching the center unit to a wall

You can attach the center unit to a wall.

CAUTIONS: location of attachment to a wall

• Take care when selecting a location for attaching the center unit to the wall. Injury to personnel, or damage to the center unit, may result if the center unit is attached in a location which interferes with daily activities, or a location that the users are liable to knock their bodies or heads against the center unit.

• Avoid a location above a bed, sofa, water tank, sink, etc. or in a passage.

CAUTIONS: attachment to a wall

• The center unit weighs approximately 2.95 kg. When you operate the buttons on the center unit, an additional force will be applied to the center unit in downward direction. Therefore, sufficient care must be required when attaching the center unit to a wall to prevent any accidents caused by the unit’s falling off.

• Before attaching the center unit to a wall, check the wall (or other related aspects) you want to attach it to, and verify whether the strength of the wall will be sufficient not only to support the weight of the center unit itself but also to withstand the additional downward force which will be applied to it during operations. (Do not attach the center unit to a plywood or plasterboard wall. The center unit will fall and sustain damage as a result.) If you cannot judge the strength of the wall or other aspects, consult a qualified person (such as a qualified constructor).

• The screws needed for attachment are not supplied. Use screws which are compatible with the strength and material of the pillar or wall.

• When attaching the center unit, the screws must be secured tightly in all three locations. Failure in attaching the center unit to the wall using all three holes on the back of the center unit makes for an unstable attachment, and it constitutes a safety hazard as the center unit may fall down.

Example of attachment

The procedure below is an example of how to attach the center unit to a wall: It dose not make any guarantee for safety while using the center unit on the wall. Take into account such factors as the material, strength, and the status of the wall as well as the reinforcing material, and the possible changes that will take place over time.

NOTES:

• You need to connect the cords to the center unit (and attach the supplied stand) before attaching it to the wall.

• DO NOT plug the power cord into an AC outlet before attaching the center unit to the wall.

• When attaching the supplied stand to the center unit, connect the system cord, video cord, and so on by passing them through the holes at the bottom of the stand, and do not attach the legs to the stand. See page 9.

1 Select the place where the center unit is to be attached. 2 Mount three screws (not supplied) to the wall.

Use the screws as illustrated below. You can use the supplied paper pattern to mark the positions where the screws are mounted.

Keep the space of 6 to 7 mm.

Wall

6 to 9 mm

Within 3 mm

20 to 30 mm

3 mm

Screws (not supplied)

3 Hook the center unit onto the mounted screws, and slide it to left, then down.

Make sure that the center unit is attached securely.

• Adjust the screws if the center unit is not attached securely.

Slide to left, then down.

NOTES:

• Do not place anything on top of the center unit. Doing so may cause the center unit to fall down, and cause injury to the persons arround.

• Do not climb onto the center unit or hang from it. Doing so may damage the center unit and/or cause injury to the person. Take care specially when there are small children at the home.

• Avoid sandwiching the cords between the center unit and wall. This may upset the balance of the center unit, and cause the center unit to fall down.

• Make sure that the connected cords will not interfere with daily activities and that the users will not be caught in the cords.

• Do not pull the connected cords with excessive force.

• Check regularly that none of the screws are loose.

• In the event that the center unit has fallen, turn the power off, disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet, and contact your dealer for an inspection and repairs. Using it in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not place valuables (breakables) underneath the location where the center unit is attached. They will be damaged if the center unit should fall.

• The manufacturer accepts absolutely no liability for any accidents or damage resulting from inadequate assembly or mounting, insufficient strength of attachment, misuse or abuse, or natural disasters.
