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.

Others

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

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.

IMPORT ANT : Bef ore 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.

• For disc playback, you can change the initial setting to your preference. See “Setup Menu Operations” on page 33.
