Listening caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just pur­chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip­ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blar­ing or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sen­sitive hearing.
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level:
Start your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
Set the dial and leave it there.

Notes on speaker use
You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play sound at high levels over extended periods.
Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage.
When playing distorted sound.
When the speakers are receiving howling from a microphone
or record player, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument. When adjusting the sound quality.
When turning the unit on or off.
Positioning for best effect
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points.
Place speakers on flat secure bases.
Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can re-
sult in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with a thick curtain.
If irregular coloring occurs on your television
These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and set-up combinations.
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.
The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

DOLBY DIGITAL
( page 34)
DOLBY PRO LOGIC
( page 34)
Dolby Digital is a discrete 5.1 (6) channel
surround system developed for cinema use. The sound signals in Dolby Digital format are compressed to 1/10 their original size, allowing an entire movie to be re­corded on a single DVD. This unit automatically recognizes DVDs
that have been recorded with Dolby Digital. Not all Dolby Digital sources are record-
ed with 5.1 (6) channels. Some sources marked Dolby Digital may be recorded in Dolby Surround, a 2 channel system.
Dolby Pro Logic is a decoding system that was developed to get a better sense of presence from sources encoded with Dolby Surround. The balance of sound has been improved by the addition of a sepa­rate center speaker channel.
Software encoded with Dolby Digital can be identified with this mark.

Glossary
Chapter
This is the smallest division on DVD and is roughly equivalent to a track.
Title
This is the largest division on DVD.
Track
This is the smallest division on Video CD and Audio CD, and usually equates to a single song.
PBC (Playback control)
This method of controlling disc play is included on version 2.0 Video CDs. You are able to interact with the disc through menus.
Digital audio
Bitstream
This is the digital form of multiple channel audio data (e.g. 5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.
References
PCM (Pulse code modulation), Linear PCM
PCM is the usual digital method used for Audio CDs. DVDs have a greater volume so they use linear PCM, which has a higher sampling rate.
Video
Frame
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. There are about thirty frames shown each second.
Field
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields one after the other to create frames.
Frame still and field still
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so picture quality is lower.
I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adapted for use with DVD, codes frames using these three picture types. I: Intra coded picture (I-picture)
This is the standard picture and is a complete picture in itself. This means it has the best picture quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.
P: Predictive coded picture (P-picture)
This picture is calculated based on past I and P-pictures.
B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture (B-picture)
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P­pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
Sampling rate
This is the number of samples of sound taken per second during conversion to a digital signal. Sampling frequency is expressed in kilohertz (kHz). A high sampling frequency results in a sound close to the original when played back.
MP3
A method of compressing audio, MPEG Audio Layer 3 (MP3) allows audio to be reduced up to one tenth its original size without overtly hurting audio quality.
When creating MP3 files to play on this unit
Disc formats: ISO9660 level 1 and level 2 (except for extended
formats) Files: MP3 files with the suffix .mp3 or .MP3 This unit is not compatible with files with a sampling rate of 32 kHz.
This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of
sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this. To have this unit play files in a cer-
tain order, prefix folder and file names with numbers in the order you want to play them. This may not work in all cases.
