Note

The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be attached should be capable of supporting 10 kg per screw.

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.

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.

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 attempt to attach these speakers to walls using

•

methods other than those described in this manual.

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.

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:

Example:

root

001group

001

“.WMA” or “.wma” “.MP3” or “.mp3” “.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”

WMA

You cannot play WMA files that are copy

•

003group

protected.

MP3

This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.

•

Compatible sampling rate: 8, 11.02, 12, 16,

•

22.05, 24, 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.

MP3

001track.mp3 002track.mp3 003track.mp3

001track.mp3 002track.mp3 003track.mp3 004track.mp3

001track.mp3 002track.mp3 003track.mp3

JPEG

To view JPEG files on this unit:

•

– Take them on a digital camera that meets the DCF (Design rule

for Camera File system) Version 1.0. Some digital cameras have functions that are not supported by the DCF Standard Version 1.0 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 (example: TIFF) or play associated sound.

Windows Media, and the Windows logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

Glossary

Tray/disc handling procedure

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.

Not adhering to the following may cause problems.

Opening/closing a disc tray

Open/close the tray with [OPEN/CLOSE ] button only.

OPEN/CLOSE

Do not pull the tray. Do not push the tray

with your hand.

Reference

Inserting a disc correctly

Insert to fit in the tray guide.

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

, 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 adapted 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.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog 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.
