Precautions

Installation

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.

• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup inside the System.

DO NOT install the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV.

Power sources

• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in the following cases:

• After starting to heat the room

• In a damp room

• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.

Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Internal heat

•

A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat buildup inside the main unit (see page G-1).

For safety, observe the following carefully:

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the main unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the System.

• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.

DO NOT disassemble the System since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

Caution for DualDisc playback:

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.

DVD Video—digital audio formats

The System can play back the following digital audio formats.

•

Linear PCM:

format used for CDs and most studio masters.

•

Dolby Digital:

Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode to create the realistic surround sound.

•

DTS (Digital Theater Systems):

audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it provides wider dynamic range and better separation.

When playing a multi-channel encoded DVD, the System properly converts these multi-channel signals into 2 channels, and emits the downmixed sound from the speakers.

•

To enjoy the powerful sound of these multi-channel encoded DVDs,

with a proper built-in decoder to the digital output terminal on the rear.

IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc, make sure of the following...

• Turn on the TV and select an appropriate input mode on the TV to view the pictures or on-screen displays on the TV screen.

Listening to the Radio:

• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number, the previously stored station in that number will be erased.

• When you unplug the AC power cord or a power failure occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If this happens, preset the stations again.

Playing Back a Disc:

• When using an 8 cm disc, place it on the inner circle of the disc tray.

• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual operations may be different from what is explained in this manual, due to the programming and disc structure; such differences are not malfunction of this System.

• When discs* in more than one tray are loaded on the disc trays, they are played in sequence as follows. (When DVD Video, DVD Audio or SVCD/VCD with PBC is loaded in the System, playback of the disc next to these discs will not start.): Ex.: When DISC 2 is selected:

DISC 2] (then stops)

* When no disc is loaded on the disc tray, the disc number

is skipped.

• You can exchange discs while playing or selecting another disc.

• Some DVD Audio discs prohibit downmixed output. When you play back such a disc, “LR ONLY” appears on the display and the System plays back the left front and right front signals.

• 3D Phonic setting is also applied to the optical digital output signals through the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT terminal.

• For DVD-VR playback... – When making a disc, use the UDF-Bridge format. – For details about DVD-VR format and play list, refer to

the manual of the recording equipment.

– If you use a DVD-RAM with a cartridge, take the disc

out of the cartridge before inserting.

– You cannot use reverse slow motion, Program Play, and

Random Play.
