Safety precautions

Accessories

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.

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.

Power cord protection

Ensure the AC power cord is connected correctly and not damaged.
Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric shock.

Getting started

Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.

Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC
power cord 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 power cord
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.

Please check and identify the supplied accessories.

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

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines.
The video signals output from this unit’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
terminals (Y, PB, 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 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 P­pictures 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, 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.

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.

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.

1

Locating

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 attach these speakers to walls or ceilings.

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 a thick
curtain.
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for

•

proper ventilation.

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

–

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.

–

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.
