Safety precautions

Placement

Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight,
high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby
shortening the unit’s service life.

Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion and
unwanted acoustical effects.

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 places where DC is used.

LANG - 5 LANG - 4 FRANÇAIS DANSK ENGLISH

AC mains lead protection

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.

RQTV0265

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 authorised service centre.
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.

Placement of speakers

Speakers are designed identically so that no left or right channel
orientation is necessary.

Caution

Failure to do so can damage the amplifi er and speakers, and
can cause fi re. Consult a qualifi ed service person if damage
occurs or if a sudden change in performance is apparent.

• Do not attach these speakers to walls or ceillings.

Use only the supplied speakers

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

• Place speakers on fl at secure bases. Take proper precautions to
prevent the speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an
even surface.

Glossary

Decoder

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

DivX

DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media
fi les contain highly compressed video with high visual quality that
maintains a relatively small fi le size.

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 Theatre Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theatres 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 fi lm or video. This unit can
determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable
method of progressive output.
Film: Recorded at 25 frames per second (PAL discs) or 24 frames

per second (NTSC discs). (NTSC discs recorded at 30
frames per second as well). Generally appropriate for motion
picture fi lms.

Video: Recorded at 25 frames/50 fi elds per second (PAL discs)

or 30 frames/60 fi elds per second (NTSC discs). Generally
appropriate for TV drama programs or animation.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD­Video, 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.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour still pictures.
If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the
data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The benefi t
of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree
of compression.

Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

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

MP3 (MPEG Audio L ayer 3)

An audio compression method that compresses audio to
approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of
audio quality.

MPEG4

A compression system for use on mobile devices or a network, that
allows highly effi cient recording at a low bit rate.

Playback control ( PBC)

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

Frame still and fi eld 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 fi elds. A regular television shows these
fi elds 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 fi elds, so the picture may appear blurred,
but overall quality is high.
A fi eld still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame
still so picture quality is lower.

HDMI (High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic
products. Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed
digital video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports
high-defi nition video output (720p, 1080i, 1080p) from the HDMI
AV OUT terminal. To enjoy high-defi nition video, a high-defi nition
compatible television is required.

LANG - 5 LANG - 4 FRANÇAIS DANSK ENGLISH

RQTV0265

Progressive/Interlaced

The PAL video signal standard has 576 interlaced (i) scan lines,
whereas progressive scanning, called 576p, uses twice the number
of scan lines. For the NTSC standard, these are called 480i and 480p
respectively.
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video
recorded on media such as DVD-Video. Your television must be
compatible to enjoy progressive video.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave
(analogue signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital
encoding).
Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so
larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.

TM

WMA (Windows Media

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