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.
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.

DVD VIDEO format. However, some discs may not be played
because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.
Discs you can play:
DVD VIDEO Audio CD

• The following discs cannot be played back:
CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, SACD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
• 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.
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:
ALL
If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,
“REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and
playback cannot start.
Notes on DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM
• This system can also play finalized DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs
recorded in DVD VIDEO format and DVD-RWs or DVD-RAMs
recorded in DVD VR format.
• This system can also play DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs if MP3 and
JPEG files are recorded on them with UDF Bridge format.
This system does not support “multi-border” disc.
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
• This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3 and JPEG
files are recorded on them with ISO 9660 format.

About discs
For all playable files
• The system can only recognize and play files with one of the
following extensions, which can be in any combination of upper
and lower case;
MP3: “.MP3”, “.mp3”
JPEG: “.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”
• 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 4000.
• Some files may not be played back normally because of their disc
characteristics or recording conditions.
• MP3/JPEG discs require a longer readout time. (It differs due to
the complexity of the directory/file configuration.)
• If different kinds of the file are mixed on a disc, set the FILE
TYPE setting in the PICTURE menu to the appropriate setting
for the data to be read (“AUDIO” or “STILL PICTURE”). (See
page 30.)
Notes on MP3 files
• Tag information (album name, artist name, and track name) can
be shown on the TV. (See page 22.)
• The system can play back the MP3 files recorded at 32 kbps to
320 kbps as a bit rate, and at 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz,
44.1 kHz and 48 kHz as a sampling frequency.
• 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 kbps.
Notes on 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.

English
Front left
speaker
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 it is located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause
color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the
speaker 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.
