IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.

Getting started

RQT7089

Safety

1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type

described in these instructions or as marked on the unit.

2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug

where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so

that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it.

4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be

careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or electric shock.

5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug

the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms.

6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and

accessories recommended in these operating instructions.

Installation

Placement

1. Ventilation—Situate the unit so that it receives proper

ventilation. Do not install in a confined space such as a bookcase or cabinet. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear of the unit. To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire due to overheating ensure curtains and other materials do not obstruct the unit’s ventilation.

2. Foreign material—Ensure objects and liquids do not get into the

unit. Avoid exposing the unit to excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, and shock.

3. Magnetism—Situate the unit away from equipment and devices

that generate strong magnetic fields.

4. Stacking—Do not place heavy objects on top of this unit.

5. Surface—Place the unit on a flat, level surface.

6. Carts and stands—Use the unit only with carts

and stands recommended by the manufacturer. Move carts with care. Sudden stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can cause carts to overturn.

7. Wall and ceiling mounting—Do not mount the

unit on walls or ceilings unless specified in the instructions.

Environment

1. Water and moisture—Do not use the unit near water, such as

near a bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp basements.

2. Heat—Situate the unit away from heat sources, such as

radiators. Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5oC (41oF) or rise above 35oC (95oF).

3. Power lines—Take care when setting up an outdoor antenna

that it is not near overhead power lines, electric lights, or electrical circuits, and that there is no danger of the antenna falling on power lines, electric lights, or electrical circuits. When installing an outdoor antenna, take extreme care not to touch such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.

4. Outdoor antenna grounding—If you connect an outdoor

antenna, ground the antenna system to protect against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990, provides information about grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. Refer to this diagram.

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 result

in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtain.

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 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.

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 setup 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.

Caution ≥Use the speakers only with the

recommended system. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance.

≥Do not attempt to attach these

speakers to walls using methods other than those described in this manual.

Glossary

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at, while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second. One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields one after the other to create frames. 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.

Interlace and progressive output

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480P. The video signals output from this unit’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals (Y, P

B, PR) allow you to enjoy

higher quality pictures than if the signals were output from the VIDEO OUT terminal or S-VIDEO OUT terminal.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types. I: Intra coded picture

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

WMA, MP3, CD text and JPEG information

≥Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended

formats).

≥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.

≥The order tracks appear in the menus may differ to the order shown

on your computer.

[WMA]

≥Noise may occur when playing WMA files. ≥You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.

[MP3]

≥This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags. ≥If you play an MP3 track that includes still picture data, it will take

some time before the music itself starts playing and the elapsed time will not be displayed during this time. Even after the track starts, the correct play time will not be displayed.

[JPEG]

≥To view JPEG files on this unit: — Take them on a digital camera that meets the DCF (Design rule

for Camera File System) standard. Some digital cameras have functions that are not supported by the DCF standard like automatic picture rotation which may render a picture unviewable.

— Do not alter the files in any way or save them under a different

name.

≥This unit cannot display moving pictures, Motion JPEG and other

such formats, still pictures other than JPEG (i.e. TIFF) or play associated sound.

[CD] (CD text only)

When making your own CD text discs

The unit plays the tracks in the order you record them so you do not have to prefix the titles with numbers.

Windows Media, and the Windows logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller than that of MP3.

Naming folders and files

Prefix folder and file names with 3-digit numbers in the order you want to play them.

Extension

004track.wma

(or .WMA)

The extension for MP3 is “.mp3” or “.MP3”. The extension for JPEG is “.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”.

Reference

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus.

Maintenance

To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, damp cloth.

≥Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit. ≥Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that

came with the cloth carefully.

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 that you 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.
