Notes about CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/ DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW

In some cases, CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVDRW/DVD+R/DVD+RW cannot be played on this system due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device and authoring software. The disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, see the operating instructions for the recording device. Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs, even if they have been correctly finalized. In this case, view the disc by normal playback. Also some DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in Packet Write format cannot be played.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to play back 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.

Note on DualDisc

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

About Multi Session CD

• This system can play Multi Session CDs when an MP3 audio track is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• This system can play Multi Session CDs when a JPEG image file is contained in the first session. Any subsequent JPEG image files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• If audio tracks and images in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

Region code

Your system has a region code printed on the rear of the unit and will only play DVDs labeled with the same region code.

DVD VIDEOs labeled will also play on this system. If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, the message [Playback prohibited by area limitations.] will appear on the TV screen. Depending on the DVD VIDEO, no region code indication may be given even though playing the DVD VIDEO is prohibited by area restrictions.

ALL

Note on playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by software producers. Since this system plays DVDs and VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents the software producers designed, some playback features may not be available. Also, refer to the instructions supplied with the DVDs or VIDEO CDs.

4 Connecting the AC power cord (mains lead)

Before connecting the AC power cord (mains lead) of this system to a wall outlet (mains), connect the speakers to the system. Install this system so that the power cord can be unplugged from the wall socket immediately in the event of trouble.

Step 2: Installing the Speakers

For the best possible front surround sound, position the speakers as illustrated below.

Side view

0.6 m (2 ft) ~

Front speaker (L)

WIDE STAGE area

* Position the speakers so that the distance between

each speaker and the listening position (A and B) is the same (from 0.0 to 7.0 meters (0 to 23 ft)).

Positioning the speakers

The effective area of surround sound will vary depending on the sound field selection (FOCUS SURROUND or WIDE STAGE). You can change the sound field setting for optimal front surround sound effect. For details, see “Enjoying Surround Sound by Using Sound Field” (page 36).

Notes about positioning the front speakers

For best results, observe the following: – Place both front speakers the same distance apart as they are from the listening position (to form an

isosceles triangle). – The front speakers should be placed at least 0.6 m (2 ft) apart. – The front speakers should be placed at ear level in the listening position. – Place the front speakers forward of the TV. Make sure there are no reflecting obstacles in front of

the speakers. – Both front speakers should be pointed straight forward. Do not place the speakers at an angle.

Green Blue Red

Note

• The video signal is output from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, only when the function is set to “DVD.”

D To connect to a TV with the HDMI (high-definition multimedia

interface)/DVI (digital visual interface) input jack

Use a certified HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) cord (not supplied) to enjoy high quality digital picture and sound through the HDMI OUT (high-definition multimedia interface out) jack. Note that Super Audio CD sound is not output from the HDMI OUT (high-definition multimedia interface out) jack.

Note

• The video signal is output from the HDMI OUT jack, only when the function is set to “DVD.”

To connect to a TV with DVI (digital visual interface) input

Use an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface)-DVI (digital visual interface) converter cord (not supplied) with an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface)-DVI (digital visual interface) adaptor (not supplied). The DVI (digital visual interface) jack will not accept any audio signals. Furthermore, you cannot connect the HDMI OUT (high-definition multimedia interface out) jack to DVI (digital visual interface) jacks that are not HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection) compliant (e.g., DVI (digital visual interface) jacks on PC displays).

E To connect a TV using the audio cords

Connect the system and the TV using the audio cords. You can enjoy the TV sound from all speakers in this system.

Connecting the TV with the digital optical cord

The TV with the digital optical out jack (such as the TV that has digital satellite tuner, etc.) can be connected to the TV (DIGITAL IN OPTICAL) jack instead of the TV (AUDIO IN) jacks. The system can accept both the digital and analog signals. Digital signals have priority over analog signals. If the digital signal ceases, the analog signal will be processed after 2 seconds.

Does your TV accept progressive signals?

Progressive is the method for displaying TV images which reduces flickering, and sharpens the image. To display using this method, you need to connect to a TV that accepts progressive signals.

FUNCTION +/–

PROGRESSIVE

With the cover opened.

“PROGRE” lights up in the front panel display when the system outputs progressive signals.

1 Press FUNCTION +/– repeatedly to select “DVD.” 2 Press PROGRESSIVE.

Each time you press PROGRESSIVE, the display changes as follows:

t P AUTO (PROGRESSIVE AUTO)

P VIDEO (PROGRESSIVE VIDEO)

INTERLACE

x P AUTO (PROGRESSIVE AUTO)

Select this setting when: – your TV accepts progressive signals, and, – the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.

Normally select this under the above condition. This automatically detects the software type, and selects the appropriate conversion method. Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when either of the above conditions are not met.

x P VIDEO (PROGRESSIVE VIDEO)

Select this setting when: – your TV accepts progressive signals, and, – the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, and, – you want to fix the conversion method to PROGRESSIVE VIDEO for video-based software.

Select this if the image is not clear when you select PROGRESSIVE AUTO. Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when

either of the above conditions are not met.

x INTERLACE

Select this setting when: – your TV does not accept progressive signals, or, – your TV is connected to jacks other than the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (MONITOR

OUT (S VIDEO/VIDEO)).

You cannot select INTERLACE while “HDMI” lights up in the front panel display.

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 fields per second. Film-based software is derived from film and displays images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film. In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in progressive format, the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.

Note

• When you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may appear 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 (S VIDEO or VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.
