• The preset settings such as preset channel and sound adjustment may be erased in a few days in the following cases:

– When you unplug the power cord. – When a power failure occurs.

• The speakers will not produce any sound if the powered sub-woofer power cord is removed from the AC outlet while the center unit is turned on. In this case power will not come on even when the powered sub-woofer power cord is plugged in the AC outlet. Press on the center unit, or AUDIO on the remote control to turn power on. This will turn the powered sub-woofer on and sound will be emitted from the speakers.

Putting batteries in the remote control

Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first. When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the center unit.

Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the antenna cable. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the FM outdoor antenna, since it is well-shielded against interference.

When to try changing the decode mode

When the decode mode is set to the default AUTO/PCM setting and a DVD recorded in Dolby Digital Surround or DTS Digital Surround is played, the internal decoder will be automatically selected before audio playback begins. Depending on the disc recorded in DTS Digital Surround, this may result in a brief loss of audio after playback starts. This is due to lost audio signals that were inputted during internal decoder selection. In these instances, lost audio can be prevented by manually selecting “DTS” beforehand.

However, please note that when the decode mode is set to DTS, you will be unable to playback audio from discs recorded in a mode other than the DTS Digital Surround.

After changing the decode mode and playing back a disc, return the decode mode to “AUTO/PCM”.

Note:

• Changing the playback source (e.g. AM/FM) will automatically return the decode mode to “AUTO/PCM”.

When a decode mode which differs from the type of disc being played is selected

Insert a DVD disc in the center unit to display the type of audio being played in the Decode mode indicator on the display window. Audio cannot be played if a decode mode which differs from the displayed mode is selected. The selected decode mode flashes to indicate that the selected decode mode does not allow audio playback.

Example:

Flashes

When DTS is selected as the decode mode for Dolby digital audio.

With Dolby digital (Lt/Rt*)

With stereo sound (e.g. Audio CD)

* Lt/Rt refers to the downmix output when connected

to a device that uses Dolby Pro Logic.

Note:

• The audio channel indicator does not show the actual speaker channel that is producing sound.

DAP modes

The sound heard in a concert hall or club consists of direct sound and indirect sound — early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DAP mode can create these important elements, and gives you a real “being there” feeling.

To cancel the Sleep Timer

Press SLEEP repeatedly until “SLEEP OFF” appears on the display window.

• Turning off the power also cancels the Sleep Timer.

Using the DSP Modes [DSP MODE]

The built-in Surround Processor provides two types of the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) mode — Surround mode and DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) mode.

Surround modes

With this system, you can use two types of the Surround mode.

Dolby Surround (Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic)*

Used to watch the soundtracks of software encoded with Dolby Digital (bearing the mark ) or with Dolby Surround (bearing the mark ). Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic can be selected automatically according to software played back.

DTS Digital Surround**

DTS Digital Surround is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD and DVD software. To watch the soundtracks of video software bearing the mark , the system can provide you with DTS Digital Surround decoder. DTS Digital Surround is automatically selected according to software played back.

THEATER: LIVE CLUB:

Gives the feeling of a large theater. Gives the feeling of a live music club with

a low ceiling.

DANCE CLUB: HALL:

Gives a throbbing bass beat. Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert hall.

PAVILION:

Give the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a high ceiling.

Notes:

• The DSP modes have no effect on monaural sources.

Care and handling of discs

How to handle discs

When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the image sand sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the player to malfunction.

Label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another withou t their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.

English

Cleaning the lens

If the lens in the laser pickup is dirty, video image irregularities, sound dropout, etc., could occur. Open the disc cover and clean the lens as shown below:

• Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow dust off the lens.

Blower

Lens

• If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe clean with a cotton swab.

Cotton swab

CAUTIONS:

• Do not use irregular shape discs (heat-shape , octagonal, etc.). Using these discs can damage the center unit.

• Sometimes during playback, noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.) These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the center unit.
