Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install your player
horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure the ventilation slots are not
covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other equipment which may become hot.
Before moving the player ensure the disc tray is empty. This player is designed for continuous use. Switching off the DVD player to the stand­by mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to disconnect the player completely from the power supply, remove the AC plug
from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.

Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases) , and excess heat(e.g.fireplace) or
equipment creating strong magnetic or electric fields (i.e.speakers...).
Disconnect the power cable from the AC supply if the player malfunctions.
Your player is not intended for industrial use.

Use of this product is for personal use only.
Condensation may occur if your player or disc has been stored in a cold

atmosphere.
If transporting the player during the winter, wait approximately 2 hours until

the unit has reached room temperature before using.

During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from the wall
outlet.
Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.

A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the center unit to
prevent abnormal temperature inside the center unit, thus assuring
normal operation. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to
supply external cool air to the inside of the center unit when the
internal temperature exceeds the specified limit.

For safety, observe the following carefully.

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor
ventilation could overheat and damage the canter unit.

• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or
holes. (If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat
may not be able to escape.)

MP3 Playback

27 28

This system has a built-in MP3 decoder.
You can play back MP3 tracks (files)recorded on CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-ROMs.

•

It is recommended you turn on your
TV when playing back an MP3 disc.

Starting Playback

Press the Open/Close( ) button

to load a disc.

1

•

After detecting the disc, playback starts.

•

The on-screen bar and the contents
recorded on the MP3 disc will be shown
on the TV if it is turned on.

Press the Play/Pause( ) button.

2

To stop during playback

Press the Stop ( ) button.

Turn on your TV when playing back an MP3 disc.

Operations Using the On-Screen Display

When the loaded MP3 disc is recognized, the following
on-screen display appears on the TV screen.
(The contents of this on-screen display vary according to

the disc — the way MP3 tracks were recorded on the
disc.)

Button To do

ENTER, Start playback or go into a directory.

▲ / ▼

Select a track or directory.

On an MP3 disc, Repeat A↔B cannot be used.
You can enjoy only repeat play.

Repeating Playback

•

Each time you press the button, repeat mode
changes as follows:

Press the REPEAT button.

The indication corresponding to the selected mode
appears on the TV screen.

REPEAT:RANDOM

:

All tracks recorded on the disc will be played once in random order.

REPEAT:ONE

: Current track will be repeated.

REPEAT:DIR

: Tracks in the current directory will be repeated.

REPEAT:DISC

: All tracks on the disc will be repeated.

REPEAT OFF

: Repeat play is canceled.(Normal play is resumed.)

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group
(or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format
with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*).
That means,by using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW
can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular
CD can.
*Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second

of audio data will consume. The measuring unit used is
Kbps (1000 bits per second).
To obtain better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate.
The most popular bit rate for encoding (recording)is
128 Kbps.

What is MP3?

•This system can only read MP3 files that are recorded in
the format that is compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1 or
Level 2.

•The system can read or play MP3 files only with the
extension code —“.mp3 ”.

•ID3*tags cannot be shown on the display.

*An MP3 file can contain file information called “ID3 Tag ”

where its album name, performer, rack title, etc. are
recorded.

MP3 File Compatibility

•

Your DVD player can also play CD-R and CD­RW discs recorded in digital audio format.
When recording your own CD-R or CD-RW
discs, make sure that the recording session is
properly terminated, or they will not be
playable. (Depending on disc properties and
recording quality, some CD-R/RWs may not be
playable.)

•

CD-RW has a lower reflection rate than CD-R
media and consequently it will take a longer to
read CD-R discs.

•

CD-RW discs recorded at high speed tend to
be difficult for the DVD player to read. If the
recording speed for the CD-RW disc is not
predetermined, write it at low speed.

Place the subwoofer at any convenient location within
the vicinity of the listening position.

Set the rear speakers further back, parallel to the walls,
at 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above prime listening
position ear level.
If the space behind the listening position is insufficient
(i.e., too close to the wall), place the rear speakers facing
each other on either side.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields

You can use the following surround to reproduce a realistic sound field.

• Digital Multichannel Surround —Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround

• Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround

To enjoy surround effectively, all the speakers need to be connected and activated.

Dolby Digital

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of software encoded with Dolby Digital ( ).
Dolby Digital encoding method (discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format)records and digitally compresses the audio channels.

In addition,Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds,and sets the cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz,compared to 7 kHz
for Dolby Pro Logic.These facts result in better sound quality than Dolby Pro Logic.

When the system detects Dolby Digital signals,the DOLBY DIGITAL indicator lights up on the display.

DTS Digital Surround

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of software encoded with DTS Digital Surround ( ).
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD,LD,and DVD software.

Compared to Dolby Digital,audio compression rate is relatively low.
This fact allows the DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and depth to the reproduced sound.
As a result, DTS Digital Surround features natural,solid and clear sound.

When the system detects DTS Digital Surround signals, the DTS indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Surround

Used to reproduce sound tracks of the VCR tapes encoded with Dolby Surround ( ).
This is only used for the sound sources coming through the AUX IN jacks.

Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel, right front channel,center channel,and rear channel

signals (total 4 channels)into 2 channels.
The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this system decodes these 2 channel signals into original 4 channel signals —
matrix-based multichannel reproduction,and allows you to enjoy a realistic stereo sound in your listening room.

When one of Dolby Surround modes is selected,the PRO LOGIC indicator lights up on the display.

* Sources recorded in Dolby Surround

These are sources in which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of signals using
Dolby Surround encoding technology.
Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and video cassettes,
as well as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts and cable TV.
Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic makes it possible to achieve multi-channel surround playback.
The signals can also be played on ordinary stereo equipment, in which case they provide normal stereo sound.
