by a qualified technician to restore the product
to its normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped or damaged in
any way.
• When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance — this indicates a need for

Installation precaution
• Install components so that there are no
obstructions above or either side, and
nothing blocking ventilation holes.
• Leave at least 2 in. / 5 cm of free space
around the subwoofer and at least 11 in. /
28cm above and 6 in. / 15cm to the left and
right of the DVD/CD Tuner, as shown
below. Remember to also leave 6 in. /
15cm of space at the rear.
• Use a vacuum cleaner periodically to clean
the port of the subwoofer to keep it free of
dust.
Wall-mounting the center and
surround speaker system
Before mounting
• Remember that the speaker system is
heavy and that its weight could cause the
wood screws to work loose, or the wall
material to fail to support it, resulting in
the speaker falling. Make sure that the
wall you intend to mount the speakers on
is strong enough to support them. Do not
mount on plywood or soft surface walls.
• Mounting screws are not supplied. Use
screws that are suitable for the wall
material and that will support the weight
of the speaker.

Introduction to home theater
You are probably used to using stereo
equipment to listen to music, but may not be
used to home theater systems that give you
many more options (such as surround sound)
when listening to soundtracks.
Home theater refers to the use of multiple
audio tracks to create a surround sound
effect, making you feel like you're in the
middle of the action or concert. The surround
sound you get from a home theater system
depends not only on the speakers you have
set up in your room, but also on the source
and the sound settings of the system.
DVD-Video has become the basic source
material for home theater due to its size,
quality, and ease of use. Depending on the
DVD, you can have up to six different audio
tracks coming from one disc, all of them
being sent to different speakers in your
system. This is what creates a surround
sound effect and gives you the feeling of
‘being there’.
This system will automatically decode Dolby
Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround DVD-Video
discs, according to your speaker setup. In
most cases, you won’t have to make changes
for realistic surround sound, but other
possibilities (like listening to a CD with multichannel surround sound) are explained in
Home theater sound on page 31.
General disc compatibility
This system was designed and engineered to
be compatible with software bearing one or
more of the following logos:
DVD-Video DVD-R DVD-RWDVD-Audio
Audio CD CD-R CD-RW
• KODAK Picture CD

See also Compressed audio compatibility
and JPEG file compatibility below.
DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs (Audio CDs
and Video CDs) recorded using a DVD
recorder, CD recorder or personal computer
may not be playable on this system. This may
be caused by a number of possibilities,
including but not limited to: the type of disc
used; the type of recording; damage, dirt or
condensation on either the disc or the
player’s pick-up lens. See below for notes
about particular software and formats.

PC-created disc compatibility
• If you record a disc using a personal
computer, even if it is recorded in a
“compatible format” as listed above, there
will be cases in which the disc may not be
playable in this machine due to the
setting of the application software used to
create the disc. In these particular
instances, check with the software
publisher for more detailed information.
• Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW

Resume and Last Memory
When you stop playback of a DVD or Video CD
disc, Resume is shown in the display indicating that you can resume playback again
from that point.
If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you
start playback the display shows Resume and
playback resumes from the resume point.
For DVD discs only: If you take the disc out of
the player, the play position is stored in
memory. When you load the disc next time,
the display shows Last Mem and you can
resume playback (this works for up to five
discs).
If you want to clear the resume/last memory
point, press (stop) while Resume or Last
Mem is displayed.
• When a Video CD is loaded, the Resume
point is lost if the system is switched off,
or switched to a function other than DVD
(CD).
• For t he L ast Mem ory f unc tio n to w ork , yo u
must press (stop) to stop playback
before opening the disc tray.

• Resume and Last Memory are not available with DVD-Audio discs.
• The Last Memory function doesn’t work
with VR format DVD-RW discs.
• With MP3 format discs, playback does not
resume. Instead, playback begins of the
first track of the folder containing the file
that was playing when playback was
stopped.
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects
automatically after a few seconds!
Most likely, the disc is the wrong region
for your system. The region number
should be printed on the disc; check it
against the region number of the system
(which you can find on the rear panel).
See also DVD Video regions on page 78.
If the region number is OK, it may be that
the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the
disc and look for signs of damage. See
also Using and taking care of discs on
page 78.
• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?
First check that you loaded the disc the
right way up (label side up), and that it’s
clean and not damaged. See Using and
taking care of discs on page 78 for
information on cleaning discs.
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s
probably an incompatible format or disc
type, such as D VD-ROM. See General disc
compatibility on page 10 for more on disc
compatibility.
• I have a widescreen TV so why are there
black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen when I play some discs?
Some movie formats are such that even
when played on a widescreen TV, black
bars are necessary at the top and bottom
of the screen. This is not a malfunction.
• I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the
system to show widescreen DVDs in pan &
scan format, so why do I still get black bars
top and bottom with some discs?
Some discs override the display
preferences of the system, so even if you
have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those
discs will still be shown in letterbox
format. This is not a malfunction.
• Why can’t I hear DVD-Audio and SACD
audio through the digital outputs?
DVD-Audio and SACD audio is only
available through the analog outputs. This
is not a malfunction.
• My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then
suddenly stops!
The disc may have been illegally copied.
DVD disc menus
Many DVD-Video and DVD-Audio discs
contain menus from which you can select
what you want to watch or listen to. They may
give access to additional features, such as
subtitle and audio language selection, or
special features such as slideshows. See the
disc packaging for details.
Sometimes DVD menus are displayed
automatically when you start playback; others
only appear when you press DVD MENU or
TOP MENU.
• Some DVD-Audio discs feature a bonus
group. To access this group you have to
input a password which you can find on
the disc packaging. See page 70 for more
information.
