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.
•

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage
or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

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.
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.
