Installation of speakers and positioning of TV
1. Color irregularities on the TV screen may also be produced depending on the method how the speakers are installed.
When color irregularities are observed after the speaker installation, first turn the TV off, wait for 15 to 30 minutes and turn
it on again: The interference may be improved by the self-demagnetizing function of the TV. If the color irregularities still
remain, install the speakers more apart from the TV.
2. If a source of magnetism such as a magnet is located near the speakers, its interaction with the speakers may cause
color irregularities on the TV screen. Also take care of this point when installing the speakers.
3. Due to induction by the electromagnetic waves produced by a TV, the speakers may produce sound even when the stereo
unit is turned off. In this case also, install the speakers more apart from the TV.
CAUTION
Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.
÷ Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside dimension including projection) equal to or greater than,
shown below.
Back panel : 10 cm
1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are imperfect, the sound may not be
produced or noise may interfere.
2. Before plugging or unplugging a connection cord, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.
If connection cords are plugged or unplugged with the power cord left plugged in, malfunction or damage may
result.

DTS disclaimer clause
When playing DTS-encoded (CDs, LDs, DVDs), excessive noise will be exhibited from the analog stereo
outputs. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions
when the analog stereo outputs of the DVD player is connected to an amplification system. To enjoy
DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must
be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the DVD player.
1. This unit always down-mixes multi-channel surround audio into 2-channel audio and outputs it from the
AUDIO AUX OUT, DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and PHONES jacks. However, with certain discs, this unit
outputs only the Front (L/R) channel signals in place of the down-mixed 2-channel signals.
2. In case an associated system component is connected, also read the instruction manual of the component.
3. Insert the optical-fiber cable straight into the connector until it clicks.
4. Never bend or bundle the optical-fiber cable.

digital audio compression rates than the stereo and monaural recording modes. The LP4 mode features
even longer recording time by adopting even higher compression rate than the LP2 mode.
If an MD recorded in the LP2 or LP4 mode is played back on a recorder/player incompatible with LP2/LP4 :
When a track recorded in stereo LP2 or LP4 mode is played back on an MDLP-incompatible recorder/
player, the disc can be played but no audio will be reproduced. When an MD containing tracks recorded in
stereo LP2 and LP4 modes and those recorded in the STEREO and MONO modes is played back, audio will
be reproduced only with the tracks recorded in STEREO and MONO modes. When playing such an MD, be
careful not to increase the volume setting during playback with no audio reproduction. Otherwise, a very
high volume will be reproduced when playback of a track recorded in the STEREO or MONO mode starts.
Stamping (STAMP) : This unit has the stamping function, which attaches stamp characters "LP:" at the
beginning of each track title to facilitate identification of tracks recorded in the LP2 or LP4 mode. "LP:"

When recording audio from a DVD (MP3 or VCD) or recording analog audio from a CD, the MD track number increments as the CD track changes. When an external input is recorded, the MD track also increments
by "1" at the moment the input signal which has been below a certain level for more than 2 seconds increases above the level. (When tuner reception is recorded, the track number may sometimes fail to increment due to signal noise, etc.). When recording music containing a continuous section with a very low

Sampling frequency
Three types of digital signals are usually used according to the sampling frequencies. The sampling frequencies vary depending on the types of digital equipment as shown below.
32 kHz : A mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.
44.1 kHz : CD, MD, etc.
48 kHz : CS tuner, B mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.
In general, high-quality recording based on digital signal transmission is not possible unless the source
and recorder components use the same sampling frequency. As this unit has a built-in sampling rate
converter, digital signals with 32 kHz and 48 kHz can be recorded by conversion to the MD sampling
frequency (44.1 kHz).

tures obtained by temporarily stopping a moving
picture. The frame still picture may produce blur in

it uses half the picture information of frame still,
but is not accompanies with picture blur.

of the video display methods of DVD, each pic-
ture is divided into the following three picture
types before being coded in digital signal.

the highest picture quality can be obtained, the
still image of I-picture is most suitable for use
