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 (23°F and 95°F).
• 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.

Note about copyright laws
Check the copyright laws in your country before recording from the
discs. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright
laws.
Note about copyguard system
The discs are protected by copyguard system. When you connect
the system to your VCR directly, the copyguard system activates and
the picture may not be played back correctly.
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 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 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 a fire or electrical shock.

Notes on DVD-R and DVD-RW
• This system does not support “multi-border” disc.
• This system does not support a disc recorded with DVD VR
format.
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 12 sessions).
• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.
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:
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.
• It is possible to play back finalized +R/+RW (DVD Video Format
only) discs. “DVD” lights on the display panel when 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 with 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, 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.

that the system can play is 4000.
• Some files may not be played back normally because of their disc
characteristics or recording conditions.
• MP3/WMA/JPEG/ASF/MPEG-2/MPEG-1/DivX files require a
longer readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the
directory/file configuration.)
• If different kinds of files are mixed, set the FILE TYPE setting in
the PICTURE menu to the appropriate setting for the data to be
read (“AUDIO”, “STILL PICTURE” or “VIDEO”). (See page 34.)
For MP3/WMA files
• The system supports MP3/WMA files recorded with a bit rate of
32 – 320 kbps and a sampling frequency of 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz,

• If the track information (track title, artist, and album name, etc.)
is recorded, it appears in the file control display on the TV screen.
(See page 27.)
• 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.
* For WMA only
For JPEG files
• 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.
For ASF files

Audio CODEC: G.726
Max. picture size: 352 x 288 (CIF)
Max. bit rate: 384 kbps
For MPEG-2/MPEG-1 files
• The stream format should conform to MPEG system/program
stream.

352 x 288 pixels (25 fps) and 352 x 480/480 x 480/352 x 240 pixels
(30 fps).
• The file format should be MP@ML (Main Profile at Main Level)/
SP@ML (Simple Profile at Main Level)/MP@LL (Main Profile at

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.
For TH-C60/TH-C50:
• When holding a speaker, always grasp the lower portion.
• Do not lean against the speakers, as the speakers could fall down
or break, possibly causing an injury. Especially be careful that
children do not lean against them.

Connections
Do not connect the power cord until all other connections have been made.

NOTE
• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.
• The front and center speakers are magnetically sh ielded to avoid color
distortions on TVs. 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. If 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. If you place
the powered subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance
between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.
Connecting a TV
• Distortion of picture may occur when connecting to the TV via a

correctly according to the aspect ratio of your TV. (See page 34.)

What is HDMI?
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is the
standard interface for the next-generation TV. By connecting this
system and a TV with the HDMI cable, digital video signals and
audio signals are transmitted through the cable. You can enjoy
digital video and sound without AD/DA conversion with easy
connection.
In addition, this system is compatible with HDCP (High-
Bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and HDCP contents can
be viewed if you connect a HDCP compatible TV to this system.
