cones if you have taken the nets off.

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 emit strange noise (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 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.

Twist the vinyl tip and pull off.

Conﬁrm the colors of the tags on the ends of the cords.

OR If the cords do not have vinyl tips, directly connect them to the terminals.

White

For White tags:

- Connect to grey terminals. For Blue, Black and Red tags:

- Connect so tag colors match the terminal colors. Cords with white and blue tags are for high frequency.

Cords with red and black tags are for low frequency.

The labels HIGH and LOW stand for high frequency and low frequency, respectively.

Tips for making WMA/MP3, CD text and JPEG discs

• 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 in which the tracks appear in the menus may differ from the order shown on your computer.

Naming folders and ﬁles

At the time of recording, preﬁx folder and ﬁle names with 3-digit numbers in the order you want to play them (this may not work at times). Files must have the extension: “.WMA” or “.wma” “.MP3” or “.mp3” “.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”

Example:

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 suc h fo rma ts, sti ll pictures other than JPEG (i.e. TIF F) or play associated sound.

(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.

Decoder

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

Dolby Digital

Th is is a met ho d of c od in g di gi tal signa ls d ev el oped by Do lb y 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 soun d 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 sign al standard, has 480 i nter laced (I) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480P.

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

– Shorting (bare wires touching) of positive and negative speaker wires. – Using speakers with an impedance lower than that rated for this unit. – Straining of the speakers through excessive volume or power. – Using the unit in a hot environment without proper ventilation.

• If you have connected this unit to other equipment through the OPTICAL OUT terminal, ensure you have selected the correct settings for “Dolby Digital” and “DTS Digital Surround” in the Setup menus’ “Audio” tab. (22)

• Change “Video Output Mode” to “480I” so “PROG.” on the display goes out. This problem is caused by the editing method or material used on DVD-Video, but should be corrected if you use interlace output. (19)

• Mobile telephone chargers can cause some disturbance.

• The location and orientation of the antenna are incorrect. If you are using an indoor antenna, change to an outdoor antenna.

• The television antenna wire is too close to the unit. Separate the antenna wire of the television from the unit.

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 co nsider how you can maxi mize 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

Product Service/Listening caution/Maintenance/When moving the unit

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 r ec ommen d th at you a vo id pro lo nged exp osure t o 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.

Maintenance

To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry 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.

For a cleaner, crisper sound (cassette deck)

Clean the heads regularly to assure good quality playback and recording. Use a cleaning tape (not included).

When moving the unit

1 Remove all discs. 2 Press [POWER 8] on the main unit to turn it off. 3 Disconnect the AC power supply cord.

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.
