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 consider how you can maximize 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 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.

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 distor-

tion.

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.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers 40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant 80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower 100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap 140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad

Disc Organization

On DVD-Video discs, the contents are divided into titles which are in turn divided into chapters. With video material, a single work (movie etc.) usually corresponds to a single title, with different scenes corresponding to separate chapters. With karaoke discs, one song corresponds to one title. However, some discs are not organized like this, so bear this in mind when using the Search function.

Video CD and CD

Changing the Wide Mode

You can select a desired mode for enlarging a 4:3 picture to a 16:9 one.

• Select the desired mode in the following order:

Full (FULL) = Just (JUST) = Cinema (CINEMA) = Zoom (ZOOM) = Normal (NORMAL)

Full (FULL)

A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the horizontal direction only, enabling you to enjoy a 4:3 TV picture (normal picture) without any omissions.

Just (JUST)

The picture is enlarged slightly at the center and the amount of enlargement increases horizontally to the ends, enabling you to enjoy a 4:3 picture without sensing any disparity even on a wide screen.

Cinema (CINEMA)

A picture is enlarged by the same proportion as FULL or ZOOM in the horizontal direction and by an intermediate proportion between FULL and ZOOM in the vertical direction; ideal for a cinema-sized picture (wide-screen picture) where captions lie outside.

Zoom (ZOOM)

A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the same proportion both vertically and horizontally; ideal for a cinema-sized picture (wide-screen picture).

Normal (NORMAL)

A 4:3 picture is displayed as it is, giving you no sense of disparity since its proportions are the same as that of the normal picture.

Note:

• Different settings can be memorized for the AV, VCR and RGB video. In addition, different settings can also be memorized for a component (AV) connected to the AV-BUS input.

• The Wide Mode used for menu setting is switched to Full (FULL). The Wide Mode will return when the menu setting is deleted.

• When video is viewed in a wide mode that dose not match its original aspect ratio, it may appear differently.

• Remember that using the wide mode feature of this system for commercial or public viewing purpose may constitute an infringement on the author’s rights protected by the Copyright Law.

• Video will appear roughened when viewed in CINEMA or ZOOM mode.

Sound Field Control (SFC)

The SFC function creates the sensation of a live performance.

About the SFC function

• The acoustics of different performance environments are not the same and depend on the extent and contour of space through which sound waves move and on how sounds bounce off the stage, walls, floors and ceilings. At a live performance you hear music in three stages: direct sound, early reflections, and late reflections, or reverberations. Those factors are programmed into the SFC circuitry to recreate the acoustics of various performance settings.

1. Select “SFC” by moving the joystick.

“SFC” is highlighted in green.

• If the source is a 2-channel LPCM audio or a 2-channel Dolby Digital audio and you select SFC effects that are most applicable for 5.1-channel audio (i.e., Musical, Drama, Action or 5D), we recommend switching Dolby Pro Logic ON. On the other hand, when selecting SFC effects that are intended for use with 2-channel audio (i.e., Jazz, Club, Hall or Theater), we recommend switching Dolby Pro Logic OFF.

• When playing a 2-channel mono source with PRO LOGIC switched ON, there are occasions when the following will occur:

No audio is output if the center speaker setting is “ON” while no center speaker is installed. Audio is heard only over the center speaker if installed and the center speaker setting is “ON”.
