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 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, 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.

The extension for MP3 is “.mp3” or “.MP3”.

The extension for JPEG is “.JPG”,

“.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”.

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.

Simple setup

STEP1 Locating

Place the speaker so that the super tweeter is on the outside.

Super tweeter

Note

You cannot take the front net off the speaker.

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 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.
