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.

Before you start

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

Before you start

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.

CD-R/RW compatibility

• This system will play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in CD Audio or Video CD format, or as a CD-ROM containing MP3 or JPEG files. However, any other content may cause the disc not to play, or create noise/distortion in the output.

• This system cannot record CD-R or CDRW discs.

• Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs recorded as CD Audio can be played, but the full Table of Contents (playing time, etc.) will not be displayed.

DVD-R/RW compatibility

• This unit will play DVD-R/RW discs recorded using the DVD-Video format that have been finalized using a DVD-recorder.

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 software disc boxes for additional compatibility information.

Compressed audio compatibility

• This unit will play CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW discs containing files saved in the MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) format with a sampling rate of 32, 44.1 or 48kHz. Incompatible files will not play and the message displayed (

• Fixed bit-rate MP3 files are recommended. Variable bit-rate (VBR) MP3 files are playable, but playing time may not be shown correctly.

• The CD-ROM used to compile your MP3 files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2 compliant. CD physical format: Mode1, Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet file systems are both compatible with this player.

• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording your files. The disc must be finalized (i.e. the session must be closed) in order to play in this unit. This player is not compatible with multi-session discs. Only the first session of a multi-session disc will be recognized.

• This player only plays tracks that are named with the file extension .mp3 or .MP3.

Before you start

• When naming MP3 files, add the corresponding file name extension (.mp3). Files are played according to the file extension. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not use these extensions for other kinds of files.

• This player can recognize up to 999 files (MP3/JPEG) and up to 499 folders. If a disc exceeds these limits, only files and folders up to these limits will be playable. Files and folders are read/ displayed in alphabetical order. Note that if the file structure is very complex, you may not be able to read/play all files on the disc.

• Folder and track names (excluding the file extension) are displayed.

• There are many different recording bitrates available to encode MP3 files. This unit was designed to be compatible with all of them. Audio encoded at 128Kbps should sound close to regular CD Audio quality. This player will play lower bit-rate files, but please note that the sound quality becomes noticeably worse at lower bit-rates.

JPEG file compatibility

• Baseline JPEG and EXIF 2.1* still image files up to 8 mega-pixels are supported (maximum vertical and horizontal resolution is 5120 pixels). (*

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

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 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
