Audio CD (8 cm / 12 cm disc)

In addition, this unit can play a DVD-R/±RW, SVCD and CD-R or CD-RW that contains audio titles, MP3 or JPEG files.

Notes

– Depending on the conditions of the recording equip-

ment or the CD-R/R (or DVD-R, DVD±RW) disc itself, some CD-R/R (or DVD-R, DVD±RW) discs cannot be played on the unit.

– Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the

labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.

–

Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped or octagonal). It may result in malfunctions.

Notes on DVDs and Video CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers. As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to disc content designed by the software manufacturer, some playback features of the unit may not be available or other functions may be added. Make sure to also refer to the instructions supplied with the DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business purposes may not be able to be played on the unit.

Regional code of the DVD/VCR Receiver and DVDs

This DVD/VCR Receiver is designed and manufactured for playback of region “2” encoded DVD software. The region code on the labels of some DVDs indicates which type of player can play those discs. This unit can only play DVDs labeled “2” or “ALL”. If you try to play any other discs, the message “Check Regional Code” will appear on the TV screen. Some DVDs that have no region code label may still be subject to area restrictions and therefore not playable.

Disc-related terms

Title (DVD only)

The main film content or accompanying feature content or additional feature content, or music album. Each title is assigned a title reference number enabling you to locate it easily.

Chapter (DVD only)

Sections of a picture or a musical piece that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of one or several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chapters may not be recorded.

Sections of a picture or a musical piece on a video CD or an audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you to locate the track you want.

Scene

On a video CD with PBC (Playback control) functions, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called “Scenes”. Each scene is displayed in the menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling you to locate the scene you want. A scene is composed of one or several tracks.

Types of video CDs

There are two types of video CDs:

Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)

PBC (Playback control) functions allow you to interact with the system via menus, search functions, or other typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures of high resolution can be played if they are included in the disc.

Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs allow playback of video pictures as well as sound, but they are not equipped with PBC.

Notes

“Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies”

This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

INTRODUCTION

Before Use (Continued)

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packaged at the factory.

When setting up the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD/VCR Receiver is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn, the picture quality will be poor. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.) For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

Notes

 If the audio format of the digital output does not

match the capabilities of your DVD/VCR Receiver, the DVD/VCR Receiver will produce a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.

 The Optical input function is available only when the

other unit’s Sampling Frequency is 32 - 48kHz.

Connections (Continued)

Speaker System Connections

Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cords by matching the colors of the terminals and those of the cords. To obtain the best possible surround sound, adjust the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.).

Notes

 Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate

terminal on the components: 3 to 3 and # to #. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and lack bass.

 If you use front speakers with low maximum input rat-

ing, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive volume output to the speakers.



Do not disassemble the front covers of supplied speakers.

Speaker Positioning

For a normal setup use 6 speakers (2 front speakers, center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer).

• Front Speakers

Based on your listening position, set up the speakers at equal distance. And by hearing position, set up an interval between speakers of 45 degree.

• Center Speaker

It is ideal that the center speakers and front speakers are same height. But normally place it above or below the television as shown below.

• Rear Speakers

Place the rear surround speakers to the left and right behind the primary listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far behind the listening position, install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound. In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall set the rear speakers opposite each other, and set the rear speakers 60 - 90 cm above the listener’s ears.

• Subwoofer

This can be placed in any front position.

Note

Speaker stand is optional.

Attaching the foot pads

To prevent speaker vibration or movement while listening, attach the supplied foot pads to the speaker, as shown.

Attaching the color labels

Attach the color labels onto the rear panel of the speakers before connecting the speakers.

Mini Glossary

Mini Glossary for Audio Stream and Surround mode

Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS programme sources such as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio(which means identical to the original masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.

(Dolby Digital)

The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital programme source. If you play DVDs with “ ” mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.

(Dolby Pro Logic)

Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel which carries the “ ” mark. This mode provides the effect

of being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an effect with an intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/right movement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynamic than before.

(Dolby Pro Logic II)

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

MOVIE mode:

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete

5.1-channel sound.

MUSIC mode:

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music mode includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual listening tastes.

MATRIX mode:

The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” The Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate “cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono.

3D SURROUND

This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D Surround Sound technology, which simulates multi-channel audio playback from two conventional stereo speakers instead of the five or more speakers normally required to listen to multi-channel audio from a home theatre. This feature works with DVD discs encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital audio tracks.

BYPASS

Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played according to the way it was recorded.

Sound Mode

You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the programme you want to listen to.

Press SOUND FIELD repeatedly until the sound mode you want appears in the display window as below.

Each time you press SOUND FIELD button, the sound mode is changed in the following order;

PRO LOGIC → PL2 MOVIE → PL2 MUSIC → PL2 MATRIX → 3D SURROUND → BYPASS

When DVD is inserted.

You can change the sound mode of DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS, PRO LOGIC, etc) by pressing the AUDIO button on the remote during playback. Although the DVD contents differ from disc to disc, the following explains the basic operation when this feature is used.

Each time you press AUDIO button, the sound mode of DVD is changed as the following order;

→→→

For your reference

•

The DVD/VCR Receiver memorizes the last mode settings for each source individually.

•

You can identify the encoding format of programme software by looking at its packaging.

- Dolby Digital discs are labeled with the logo.

- Dolby Surround encoded programs are labeled with the logo.

- DTS Digital Surround discs are marked with DTS.

Note

When you play sound tracks with 96kHz sampling frequency, the output signals will be converted to 48kHz (sampling frequency).

Volume Control

You can adjust the volume by rotating VOLUME on the front panel or by pressing VOL (+/–) on the remote control repeatedly.

Muting

Press MUTING to mute your unit.

You can mute your unit in order, for example, to answer the telephone, “MUTING” indicator in the display window. To exit mute mode, press MUTING again.

Hi-Fi Stereo Sound System

Your DVD/VCR Receiver will record and play back Hi-Fi stereo sound. In addition it has a NICAM digital stereo sound decoder. This allows you to record and play back the sound in several different ways. Video cassettes recorded on your DVD/VCR Receiver will have a normal mono audio track and two VHS Hi-Fi stereo audio tracks. These stereo tracks allow you to make audio recordings in Hi-Fi stereo or bilingual mode from a TV broadcast, stereo audio system, video disc or another Hi-Fi VIDEO.

Your DVD/VCR Receiver’s NICAM digital sound decoder allows you to enjoy broadcasts with NICAM sound, as well as standard stereo NICAM, bilingual and mono sound.

Notes on MP3 Files

About MP3



An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.



The DVD/VCR Receiver can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.

MP3 Disc compatibility with this DVD/VCR Receiver is limited as follows:



Sampling Frequency : only at 44.1kHz



Bit rate : within 32 - 320kbps



CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”



If you record MP3 files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “UDF” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We recommend that you use an ISO9660 file system.



A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.



File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate “.mp3” extension e.g. “********.mp3”.



Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ” etc.



Total number of files on the disc should be less than

650.

This DVD/VCR Receiver requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files). That require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.
