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 DualDiscs

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

continued

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.

This system perfectly decodes 5.1 channel signal, but you cannot add other commercially available surround speakers.

Getting Started – BASIC –

* 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)).

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.

Connecting the TV with the digital optical cord (not supplied)

A TV with a digital optical out jack (TV with built-in digital satellite receiver, 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 a few seconds.

Does your TV accept progressive signals?

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

“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 if the above conditions are met. 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.

continued

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.

• For details on changing the HDMI resolution, see “Settings for the Display” (page 80).

Note

• When you connect to the SAT/CABLE DIGITAL IN OPTICAL or COAXIAL jack, set the switch on the rear panel accordingly.

If you connect a digital satellite receiver with a DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL

or OPTICAL) jack

The digital satellite receiver can be connected to the SAT/CABLE DIGITAL IN OPTICAL or COAXIAL or VIDEO DIGITAL IN COAXIAL jack instead of the SAT/CABLE IN (AUDIO) or VIDEO IN (AUDIO) jacks of the unit. 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.

If you connect a digital satellite receiver without a DIGITAL OUT jack

Connect the digital satellite receiver to the SAT/CABLE IN (AUDIO) or VIDEO IN (AUDIO) jacks only of the unit.

Note

• Be sure to make connections securely to avoid hum and noise.

To connect the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter

Connect the supplied DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter (TDM-BT1) to the DMPORT1 jack on the unit or other DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter to the DMPORT2 jack on the unit. For details of the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT adapter, see “Using the DIGITAL MEDIA PORT Adapter” (page 71).
