≥The front and surround speakers are

the same. Use those you have
connected the short cords to as front
speakers and those you have
connected the long cords to as
surround speakers.

≥Place the front, center, and surround

speakers at approximately the same
distance from the seating position.
The angles in the diagram are
approximate.

≥Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit and sound quality will
be negatively affected.

≥Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from

falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from
falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.

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.

Main unit

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for
proper ventilation.

Center speaker

≥You can also put this speaker directly under the television.
≥Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it

is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a
rack or shelf.

Subwoofer

Place to the right of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so
that it won’t cause vibration.
Leave 10 cm on the right for the woofer to be effective. Leave
10 cm at the rear for ventilation.

temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby
shortening the unit’s service life.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltage

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit
and cause a fire.

Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when
setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.

Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or
electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.

Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC
mains lead can cause electric shock.

Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric
shock.

Foreign matter

Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric
shock or malfunction.

Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or
malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the
power supply and contact your dealer.

Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain
flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

Service

Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is
interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other
problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect
the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or an authorized service
center. Electric shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is
repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.

Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power
source if it is not to be used for a long time.

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.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as
2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround
channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

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.

Playback control (PBC)

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

WMA, MP3, and CD text 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.

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.
