• Do not place the speakers in locations that ar e: – Extremely hot or cold – Dusty or dirty – Very humid – Subject to vibrations – Subject to direct sunlight

• Use caution when placi n g t h e speakers and/or speaker stands (n o t supp lied) that are attached with th e s p eak ers on

a specially treated (waxed, oi l ed , po l is h ed , et c.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.

• When cleaning, use a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth for glasse s.

• Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powde r , or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

• Do not lean or hang on the speaker, as the speaker may fall down (DAV -DZ 500KF only).

To connect the speaker cords

Connect the speaker cords after bending the bare wire at the end of the insulation. This prevents the speaker insulation from being inserted in the speaker terminal.

Getting Started

Note

• Do not catch the speaker cord insulation in the SPEAKER jack.

Avoiding short-circuiting the speakers

Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch another speaker terminal or the bare wire of another speaker cord.

Examples of poor conditions of the speaker cord

Stripped speaker cord is touching another speaker terminal.

Stripped cords are touching each other due to excessive removal of insulation.

continued

After connectin g al l the components, speakers, and AC power co r d (mains lead), output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 85. If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker other than the one currently displayed on the Setup Display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this happens, check the speaker connection again.

Note

• Be sure to match th e speake r cord to t he appro priate term inal on the comp onents: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.

About DVD software types and the conversion method

DVD software can be divided into 2 types: film-based software and video-based software. Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at 30 frames/60 f ields per s econd. Fi lm-based software is derived f rom film an d display s images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film. In order for these i mages to appear na tu ral on your screen w hen output in progressive format, the progressive signal s need to be converted to m at ch the type of DVD soft w ar e t hat you are watching.

Note

• When you play video-based software in progress ive signal format, sections of some types of ima ge s ma y app ear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Even though you set to “PROGRESSIVE AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO,” images from the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO or S VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they are output in th e in t e rl ace format.

Note

• The system may not be able to play some DATA CDs created in the Packet Write format. In this case, you cannot view the JPEG images recorde d .

MP3 audio track or JPEG image file that the system can play

The system can pl ay the MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files:

• which have the extension “.MP3” (MP3 audio

track) or “.JPG”/“.JPEG” (JPEG image file)

• which conform to the DCF* image file format

continued

* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image

standards for digital came r as regula ted by Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).

Note

• The system will play any data with the extension “.MP3 ,” “. JPG ,” or “ .J PEG ” ev en if they are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing this data may generate a loud noise which could damage yo ur speaker system.

• The system doe s not conform to audio i n MP3PRO fo rmat.

Playback order of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files

The playback order of M P3 audio tracks or JPEG image files recorded on a DATA CD is as follows:

x Structure of disc contents

Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5

ROOT

When you insert a DATA CD and pre ss H, the numbered tracks (or files) are played sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any subalbums/tracks (or files) contained within a currently selected album take priority over the next album in the same tree. (Example: C contains D so 4 is pl ayed before 5.)

When you press ME N U and the list of album names appears (page 43), the album names are arranged in the following order: A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums that do not contain tracks (or files) (such as album E) do not appear in the list.

Tip

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track/file names when you store the tr acks (or files) in a disc, the tracks and files will be played in that order.

• Since a disc with many trees takes longe r to sta r t playback, it is recommended tha t you create albums with no more than two trees.

Note

• Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD, the playback order may differ from the illustration.

• The playback order above may not be appl ic ab le if there are more than 200 albums and 300 files in each album.

• The system can recognize up to 200 albums (the system will count just albums, including albums that do not contain MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files). The system will not play a ny albums beyond the 200th album.

• The system may take longer time to playba c k , when progressing to the following album or jump to other album.

• Some type of JPEG files cannot be played.

About Cinema Studio EX

Cinema Studio EX is ideal for enjoying the movie software encoded with multi channel format, such as the Dolby Digital DVD. This mode reproduces the sound characte r is ti cs of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s studio s. Cinema Studio EX consists of the following 3 elements.

• Virtual Multi Dimension Creates 5 sets of vi rt ual speakers surr ounding the listener from a single pair of actual surround speake rs.

• Cinema Studio Reverberation Reproduces the reverberations peculiar to a movie theater. Cinema Studio EX is the integrated mode which operates these elements simulta neously.

Note

• The virtual speak er effect may cause inc reased noise

in the playback signal.

• When listening with sound fields that employ virtual

speakers, you will not be able to hear any sound coming directly from the surr ound speakers.

Precautions

On power sources

• AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On placement

• Place the system in a lo cat io n with adequate ventilation to pr ev en t h eat build-up in the system.

• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malf unction. However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do not place the unit in a confined space where ventilation is poor a s this may caus e overheating.

• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything on the system. The system is equipped with a high power amplifier. If the ventilation slots are blocked, the unit can overheat and malfunc ti on.

• Do not place the system on a soft surface such as a rug and do not block the ventilation holes.

• Do not place the system in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.

On operation

• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the system. Should this occur, the system may not operate properly. In this case, remove the d isc and leave the syste m turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.

• When you move the system, take out any disc. If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.

Glossary

Album

Section of a music piece or an image on a data CD containing MP3 audio tracks or JPEG fil es.

Chapter

Subdivision of a title on a DVD. A title is composed of sever al cha p t er s.

DivX

Digital video techn ol ogy created by DivXNetwor ks, Inc. Vid eos enco ded with Di vX technology are among the highest quality with a relatively small file size.

Dolby Digital

This movie theater sound format for is more advanced than Dolby Surround Pro Logic. In this format , the surround speakers ou t put stereo sound with an expande d frequency range, and a subwoofer channel for deep bass is independently provided. This format is also called “5.1 ” with the subwoofer channel designed as the 0.1 channel (since it functions only when a d eep bass effect is needed). All six channels in this f ormat are recorded separately for superior ch annel separation . F urthermore, since all the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradation occurs.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwid t h output channels from 2 channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity ma tr i x surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the or ig inal recording with out adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

x Movie mode

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all prog rams encoded in Dolb y Surround. The result is enhanced soundfie ld directionality that approaches the qua l ity of discrete 5.1-ch annel sound.

x Music mode

The Music mode is for use with an y stereo musi c recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic

As one method of decoding Dolby Surr ound, Dolby Surro und Pro Logic produces four channels from 2 channel sound. Compared with the former Do lby Surround system , Dolby Surround Pro Log i c reproduces left-to- right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of surround speakers and a center speaker. The surround speakers output monaural sound.

DTS

Digital audio com pression technology developed b y Digi tal Thea ter Sys tems, Inc. T his technology co nf orms to 5.1-channel surround. This format c omprises of st ereo rear ch annel and there is discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high qual ity di git al au dio. The goo d channel separation is realized due to the all channel data bei ng recorded discretely and processed in di gitally.

DVD

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though it s diameter i s the same as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and singlesided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD. Furt hermore , the dat a capaci ty of a dual-layer and si ngle-sided DVD is 8. 5 GB, a single-layer and double-s ided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB. The picture da ta uses the MP EG 2 format, one of a worldwide standard of digital com pression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD also uses the variable rate coding technology that processes allocated data according to the st at us of the picture. The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in PCM, allo w i ng you to enjoy more realistic au dio presence. Furthermore, various advanced f unctions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.

DVD-RW

A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The

Additional Information

continued

DVD-RW has tw o di f ferent modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVD-RWs created in Video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video R ecording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited.

DVD+RW

A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recordi n g format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO format.

File

A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD or a DivX video on a DATA CD/DATA DVD. (“File” is an exclusive definitio n for this system.) A single file consists of a single image or movie.

Film based software, Video based software

DVDs can be classified as Film based or Video based software. Film based DVDs contain the same images (24 frames per second) that are shown at movie theaters. Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.

Multi-angle function

Various angles of a scene, or viewpoin ts of the video camera are recorded on some DVDs.

Multilingual function

Several lang ua ges fo r the so und or subt itl es in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Parental Cont ro l

A function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of th e users according to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies f rom disc to d isc; when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on.

Playback Contro l (PB C )

Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control playback. By using men u screens record ed on VIDEO CDs with PBC funct ions, you can enjo y playi ng simple interactive programs, progra ms wi th search functions, and so on.

Progressive format (sequential scanning)

In contrast to the Interlace format, the progressive fo rmat can repr oduce 50 - 6 0 frames per second by reproducing all scanning lines (525 lines for the NTSC system, 625 lines for the PAL system). The overall picture quality increases and still images, text and horizontal lines appear sharper. This format is compatible with the 525 or 625 progressive for m at.

Region Code

This system is used to protect copyrights. A region number is allocated on each DVD system or DVD disc according to the sales region. Ea ch region code is shown on the system as well as on the disc packaging. The system can play dis cs that match its region code. The system can also play discs with the “ ” mark. Even when the

ALL

region code is not shown on the DVD, t he region limit may still apply.

Scene

On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback control) functions, the menu screens, moving pictures and still pictures are div ided into se ctions call ed “scenes.”

Title

The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, o r the entire album in audio software.

Track

Section of a picture or a m usic piece on a VIDEO CD, CD, or MP3. An album is composed of sever al tr acks (MP3 only).

VIDEO CD

A compact disc that contains moving pictures. The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of a worldwide standard of digital compression technology. The pict ur e data is compressed to about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures. VIDEO CDs also con t ain compact audio data. Sounds outside th e range of human hearin g are compressed while sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the audio informatio n of conventional audio C D s. There are 2 versions of V ID EO CDs.

• Version 1.1: You can play only moving pictures and soun ds.

• Version 2. 0: You c an play high-r esolut ion st ill pictures and enjoy PBC functions.

This system conform s t o both versions.
