Special features
Micro-component system featuring DVD VIDEO and MD
A DVD VIDEO player and MD recorder are provided as standard. This combination can be used for example
for playing DVD music software and record its audio output on an MD. (Note that it is only the analog audio
that can be recorded when recording DVD Video, VCD or MP3 file playback on MD.)
MP3 playback
Music files recorded in the MP3 audio compression format can be played back.

MD Long Play modes
With the long-hour recording/playback modes (LP2, LP4) based on ATRAC3 (MDLP), digital long-hour recording/playback for twice (about 160 minutes*) or 4 times (about 320 minutes*) the normal recording/
playback time is now available. (* Data using a 80-minute disc.)
CD = MD high-speed dubbing
This convenient feature enables simple, quick dubbing from a CD to an MD.
(Note that recording of discs other than CD on MD is possible only in the normal speed because it is only
their analog audio output that can be recorded on MD.)
Convenient recording features
Versatile recording features are provided, allowing the user to select desired one for each purpose.

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.
