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.
• 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 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 a fire or electrical shock.

size is too large.
• 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 and PAL system.
When you play an NTSC disc with the scan mode set to
“PAL” (see page 16), the NTSC video signal is converted
to the PAL60 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.

• 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

title, etc.) is recorded, it appears in the file control display
on the TV screen. (See page 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.
* 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.)

• 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.
• Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that the
sound is distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be
damaged by internal heat buildup.

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.

Surround left
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 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 and the subwoofer 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 subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you place
the subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance
between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing
mottled.
