Introduction
Notes on handling
■ 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.
■ 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 plugs 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 doth 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

Notes on DVD-R and DVD-RW
• This system does not support “multi-border” disc.
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
• This system can play CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded with ISO 9660
format.
• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20 sessions).
• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.
Region code of DVD VIDEO
DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own

discs whose Region Code numbers include the system's Region
Code, which is indicated on the rear panel.
Example of playable DVD:
1 2
lALil Ivli
12
3 4
If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,
“REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and playback
cannot start.
Some discs may not be played back because of their disc
characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.
Unplayable discs
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, SACD,
etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
*' This system can play finalized discs only.
Recorded with UDF Bridge format.
• It is possible to play back finalized +R/+RW (DVD Video Format
only) discs. “DVD” lights on the display panel rvhen a +R/+RW
disc is loaded.
• This system accommodates the NTSC system, and also can play
discs recorded with PAL system. Note that an PAL video signal on
a disc is converted to the NTSC signal and output.
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply wdth the
“Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of
Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be
recommended.
. On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs,
their actual operation maybe different from what is explained
in this manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc
structure, not a malfunction of this system.

CAUTION
If you connect speakers other than the supplied ones, use speakers of
the same speaker impedance (SPEAKER IMPEDANCE) indicated
near the speaker terminals on the rear of the powered subwoofer.
DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one speaker terminal.
When installing the satellite speakers on the wall;
- Be sure to have them installed on the wall by qualified personnel.
DO NOT install the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to
avoid unexpected damage from falling off the wall due to incorrect
installation or weakness in wall structure.
- Care must be taken in selecting a location for speaker installation
on a wall. Injury to personnel or damage to equipment may result
if the speakers installed interfere with daily activities.
Precautions for daily use
• When moving the speakers, do not pull the speaker cords;
otherwise, the speakers may fall over, causing damage or injury.
• Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that the sound is
distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by internal
heat buildup.
Connections
Do not connect the power cord until all other connections have been made.
Speaker layout
To obtain the best possible sound from this system, you need to
place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the same distance
from the listening position.

o

speaker
If your speakers cannot be placed at the same distance from the
listening position
You can adjust the delay time of the speakers. See “Delay menu
(DELAY)” on page 34.
NOTE
Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.
The front and center speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color
distortions on TV s. However, if not installed properly, they 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. It this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded.
If they are located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause
color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the speakers
nearby the TV or monitor.
Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s right. Ifyou place
the powered subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance
betcveen them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.
Surround right
speaker
Connecting a TV
You can get better picture quality in the order — Component
video > S-video > Composite video.
Distortion of picture may occur when connecting to the TV via a
VCR, or to a TV with a built-in VCR.
You need to set “MONITOR TYPE” in the PICTURE menu
correctly according to the aspect ratio of your TV. (See page 34.)
I To connect a TV equipped with the component video input
jacks
If your TV supports progressive video input, you can enjoy a high
quality picture by setting the progressive scan mode to active,
(Seepage 16.)
NOTE
• If the component video input jacks of your TV are of the BNC type,
use a plug adapter (not supplied) to convert the pin plugs to BNC
plugs.
• The component video signals can be output only when you select
DVD or USB MEMORY as the source to play. (See page 15.)
