compatibility with this system.
*2About the JPEG file format
JPEG is a type of file format for storing still-image files
(photos, illustrations, etc.). The system lets you play JPEG
format still-image files.
File formats that are not compatible.
, Still images in formats other than JPEG (such as TIFF)
cannot be played.
o There may be some files that cannot be played even if they
are in JPEG format.
o Progressive JPEG files cannot be played.
o Moving image files as well as Motion JPEG format files
cannot be played, even though they are JPEG files.
Other files that cannot be played back.
, You may not be able to play some still images which you
have created, touched up, copied or otherwise edited on
your computer.
, You may not be able to play some still images you have
processed (rotated or saved by overwriting other images
you have imported from the Internet or e-mail).
You may experience one or more of the following
symptoms when playing files.
, It may take some time to play files depending on the
number of folders, number of files and volume of data
involved.
, EXIFinformation will not be displayed. EXIFstands for
Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for
storing interchange information in image files, especially
those using JPEG compression. (Refer to http://exif.org for
more information.)
*3About the MP3 file format
MP3 files are audio data compressed in the MPEG1/2 Audio
layer-3 file format. "MP3 files" have ".mp3" as extensions.
(Some files that have ".mp3" extensions or files that have not
been recorded in MP3 format will produce noise or cannot be
played.)
Playing the MP3 file format
, The MP3 files are not played in the order they were
recorded.
, It is recommended to record data at a lower speed as data
recorded at a fast speed can produce noise and may not
be able to be played.
, The more folders there are, the longer the reading time.
o Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can take
time.
, The playing time may not be correctly displayed during
MP3 file playback.
The following files cannot be played on this
system.
o When both Audio CD [CD-DA] format and JPEG/MP3 file
formats are recorded on a disc. (The disc is recognized to
be an Audio CD [CD-DA] only tracks in Audio CD [CD-DA]
format are played back.)
, Multi-session discs cannot be played.

To ensure optimal sound, it is recommended that you set up the speaker system as shown below.
Sound Bar speaker
(left/center/right)
Installation image
Default setting:
8 feet
NOTE
The default distance is set to 10 feet for the Sound Bar speaker (Front L/R and Center speakers) and 8 feet for the Surround
speakers. If you cannot position the speakers at the default distance, adjust the speaker balance by using "Speaker Settings".
(Pages 39-40)
Place the Sound Bar speaker at the position just in front of near the television.
Place the surround speakers at a position just above the height of your ears.
o The subwoofer vibrates while reproducing bass. Place it on a stable, sturdy surface.
The subwoofer reproduces only lower frequency bass tones.
o Since the human ear cannot identify the direction of low bass tones, the subwoofer can usually be placed freely in the room
for the best sound result.
o Bass sound is easily affected by the position of the subwoofer. If the bass tones in the listening position seem much too low
or too high, try changing your listening position. If the bass tone level changes when you change the listening position, try
relocating the subwoofer.
i mv
[ _ Sound Bar speaker
The Sound Bar speaker (left/center/right) may be placed near the TV as it is magnetically shielded. However,
depending on your TV (cathode ray tube), color variation may occur on the TV screen.
Ifcolor variation occurs...
Turn off the TV (from the power switch).
After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.
Ifthe color variation is still present...
Move the speakers further away from the TV.
Ifa magnet or other magnetic source is positioned near the TV, the combined magnetic field with that of the
speakers may cause color variation to occur on the TV screen.
NOTE
The surround speakers and subwoofer are not magnetically shielded.
If the color variation is still present, you may need to have your TV inspected.

Audyssey EQ®
Audyssey EQ is based on the same core technology as
Audyssey MultEQ that is used for automatic correction of
room acoustics. Audyssey EQ uses time-domain filters
to correct problems that arise from speaker drivers and
enclosures and is calibrated to account for the acoustical
problems in a typical listening environment.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ®
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating
sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account
human perception and room acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic
EQ works in tandem with Audyssey EQ to provide well-
balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.
Audyssey Dynamic Volume TM
Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large
variations in volume level between television programs,
commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of
movies. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic
Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted
automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance,
surround impression and dialog clarity remain the same.
Audyssey BassXT TM
Audyssey BassXT enables low frequency drivers to produce
deeper bass by intelligently monitoring incoming audio signals
and extending driver performance to its maximum safe limits
at all volume levels. This enables the system to produce lower
frequencies than would be possible with a traditional system
of the same size.
