Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio disc standard where music is recorded in the DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format (conventional CDs are recorded in the PCM
continued
7US
format). The DSD format, using a sampling frequency 64 times higher than that of a conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization, achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide dynamic range across the audible frequency range, and so provides music reproduction extremely faithful to the original sound.
Types of Super Audio CDs
There are two types of discs, depending on the SA-CD layer and CD layer combination.
•SA-CD layer: A high-density signal layer for Super Audio CD
•CD layer*1: A layer that is readable by a conventional CD player
Single layer disc
(a disc with a single SA-CD layer)
SA-CD layer
Hybrid disc*2
(a disc with an SA-CD layer and a CD layer)
CD layer*3
SA-CD layer*3
An SA-CD layer consists of the 2 channel area or the multi-channel area.
•2 channel area: An area in which 2 channel stereo tracks are recorded
•Multi-channel area: An area in which multichannel (up to 5.1 channels) tracks are recorded
2 channel area*4
Multi channel area*4 |
SA-CD layer |
*1 You can play the CD layer on a conventional CD player.
*2 Since both layers are on one side, it is not necessary to turn the disc over.
*3 To select a layer, see “Selecting a Playback Area for a Super Audio CD” (page 37).
*4 To select an area, see “Selecting a Playback Area for a Super Audio CD” (page 37).
Your system has a region code printed on the back of the unit and will only play DVDs labeled with the same region code.
DVD VIDEOs labeled ALL 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.
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.

•Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.
•Do not place the speakers in locations that are:
–Extremely hot or cold
–Dusty or dirty
–Very humid
–Subject to vibrations
–Subject to direct sunlight
16US
•Use caution when placing the speakers and/or speaker stands (not supplied) that are attached with the speakers on a specially treated (waxed, oiled, polished, etc.) floor, as staining or discoloration may result.
•When cleaning, use a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth for glasses.
•Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
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.
Started Getting
Note
• Do not catch the speaker cord insulation in the SPEAKER jack.
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

After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), output a test tone to check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 78. 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 the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.
1 Prepare screws (not supplied) that are suitable for the hole on the back of each speaker. See the illustrations below.

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 (VIDEO or S VIDEO) jack are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.
Outputs TV sound through the speakers of this system.

For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be the same distance from the listening position (A). However, this system allows you to place the center speaker up to 1.6 meters (5 ft) closer (B) and the surround speakers up to 5.0 meters (16 ft) closer (C) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to 7.0 meters (4 to 23 ft) (A) from the listening position.
Place speakers as illustrated below.
If color irregularity is observed
again...
Place the speaker further away from the TV set.
If howling occurs
Reposition the speakers or turn down the volume on the system.
Note
•Do not place the center and surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front speakers.
If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen
The front and center speakers and the subwoofer are magnetically shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularities may still be observed on certain types of TV sets. As the surround speakers are not magnetically shielded, we recommend that you place the surround speakers slightly further away from TV set.
If color irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes.
