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

DVD

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

On CDs and Video CDs, the contents are divided into tracks. One track usually corre­sponds to one song. On some discs, tracks may also feature an index.
With Video CDs featuring PBC (Playback Control), you can use a menu to perform
playback operations. It may not be possible to use functions such as Repeat and
Search.

Terms

Aspect Ratio

This is the width-to-height ratio of a TV screen. A regular display has an aspect ratio of 4:3.
Wide-screen displays have an aspect ratio of 16:9, providing a bigger picture for exceptional
presence and atmosphere.

Chapter

DVD titles are in turn divided into chapters which are numbered in the same way as the
chapters of a book. With DVDs featuring chapters, you can quickly find a desired scene with
Chapter Search.

Dolby Digital

1

Dolby Digital provides multi-channel audio from up to 5.1 independent channels. This sys­tem is the same as the Dolby Digital surround sound system used in theaters.
To enjoy Dolby Digital entertainment, you must connect this unit’s optical digital output
jacks to the optical digital input jacks of a Dolby Digital compatible amp.

DTS

This stands for Digital Theater Systems. Unlike Dolby Digital, DTS is a surround system
delivering multi-channel audio from up to 6 independent channels.
To enjoy discs featuring DTS audio recording, you must connect this unit’s optical digital
output jacks to the optical digital input jacks of a DTS compatible amp or decoder.

Linear PCM (LPCM)

This stands for Linear Pulse Code Modulation, which is the signal recording system used for
music CDs. Compared to music CDs, which feature 44.1 kHz/16-bit recordings, DVDs fea­ture 48 kHz/16-bit – 96 kHz/24-bit recordings. The result is sound quality even higher than
that provided by music CDs.

MPEG

This stands for Moving Pictures Experts Group, and is an international video image compres­sion standard. Some DVDs feature digital audio compressed and recorded using this system.

Multi-Angle

With regular TV programs, although multiple cameras are used to simultaneously shoot
scenes, only images from one camera at a time are transmitted to your TV. Some DVDs fea­ture scenes shot from multiple angles, letting you choose your viewing angle as desired.

60

Others

Multi-Audio (Multilingual Dialog)

Some DVDs feature dialog recorded in multiple languages. Dialog in up to 8 languages can
be recorded on a single disc, letting you choose as desired.

Multi-Subtitle

Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be recorded on a single DVD, letting you choose as
desired.

Optical Digital Output

By transmitting the audio signal as a digital signal, it’s possible to minimize any loss of
sound quality. Optical digital output refers to the transmission (output) of a digital audio sig­nal via optical cable. (The amp or other component on the reception side must have optical
digital inputs.)

Parental Lock

Some DVDs with violent or adult-oriented scenes feature parental lock which prevents chil­dren from viewing such scenes. With this kind of disc, if you set this unit’s parental lock
level, playback of scenes inappropriate for children will not be possible, or these scenes will
be skipped.

Playback Control (PBC)

This is a playback control signal recorded on Video CDs (Version 2.0). Using menu displays
provided by Video CDs with PBC lets you enjoy playback of simple interactive software and
software with search functions. You can also enjoy viewing high- and standard-resolution still
images.

Region Number

DVD players and DVD discs feature region numbers indicating the area in which they were
purchased. Playback of a DVD is not possible unless it features the same region number as
the DVD player. This unit’s region number is displayed on the rear of the unit.

Title

DVDs have a high data capacity, enabling recording of multiple movies on a single disc. If,
for example, one disc contains three separate movies, they are divided into Title 1, Title 2 and
Title 3. This lets you enjoy the convenience of Title Search and other functions.
