• Do not place the surround speakers on top of a TV.
This may cause distortion of the colors in the TV
screen.
• If you place the center speaker on the unit, be sure to
place it at the front side of the unit.
• Place the subwoofer on solid floor where resonance
is unlikely to occur so that a better bass reproduction
could be obtained.
• Always place the subwoofer vertically, keeping it a
few centimeters away from the wall.
• If the subwoofer is placed in the center of a room, the
bass could be extremely weakened. This is due to the
influence of the standing wave of the room. If this
happens, move the subwoofer away from the center
of the room or eliminate the cause of the standing
wave, by placing a bookshelf against the wall, etc.
Tip
You can enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound while
playing a DVD VIDEO. To adjust the speaker volume
and level, see page 52.

CD-Rs/CD-RWs) that contains MP3 audio
tracks in MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3 and JPEG
image files. However, the discs must be
recorded according to ISO 9660 Level 1, Level
2 or Joliet in expansion format for the system to
recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play
back discs recorded in Multi Session.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the CDR/CD-RW drives and the recording software
(not supplied) for details on the recording
format.
MP3 audio tracks or JPEG

• The system can play back the MP3 audio
tracks which have the extension “.MP3”.
• The system can play back JPEG image files
–which have the extension “.JPG” or “.JPEG”.

Playback order of MP3 audio
tracks or JPEG image files
The playback order of MP3 audio tracks or
JPEG image files recorded on a DATA CD is as

x Structure of disc contents
Tree 1Tree 2Tree 3Tree 4 Tree 5
ROOT
Album
When you insert a DATA CD and press H
(or
nN on the unit), the numbered tracks (or
files) are played back sequentially, from 1
through 7. Any albums or files in current
selected album take priority over the next album
in the same tree. (Example: C contains D so 4
is played back before 5.)
When you press MENU and the list of albums
names appears (page 28), the album names are
arranged in the following order:
A t B t C t D t E t F t G.
Albums that do not contain tracks (or files) (such

MP3 audio tracks or
JPEG image files
Notes
• Depending on the software you use to create the
DATA CD, the playback order may differ from the
above illustration.
• The playback order above may not be applicable if
there are more than 200 albums and 300 files in each
album.
• The system can recognize up to 200 albums
including albums that do not contain MP3 audio
tracks and JPEG image files. The system will not
play back any albums beyond the 200th album.
• The maximum number of MP3 audio tracks or JPEG
image files on an album which can be recognized by
this system is
– 600 when the “MODE (MP3, JPEG)” is set to
“AUDIO (MP3)” or “IMAGE (JPEG)”.
– 300 when “MODE (MP3, JPEG)” is set to
“AUTO”.
• The system may take longer time to play back, when
the track or file in another album is played back.
• An album that does not include an MP3 audio track
or JPEG image file is skipped.
• The system will play back any data with the
extension “.MP3”, “.JPG” or “.JPEG” even if they
are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing this data
may generate a loud noise which could damage your
speaker system.
• The system does not support MP3PRO format.
• The system can play back MP3 audio tracks in the
format of MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3.
• Depending on the encoding/writing software,
recording device, or the recording media used at the
time an MP3 audio track is recorded, you may
encounter problems such as cannot play back, sound
interruptions and noise.
• The following discs take a longer time to start
playback:
– a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.
– a disc to which data can be added (non finalized
disc).
• Some CD-Rs/CD-RWs/DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs/
DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs cannot be played back on the
system depending on the file format.

GB
• When playing the DATA CD (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/
CD-RWs) containing both MP3 audio tracks and
JPEG image files, select “MODE (MP3, JPEG)”
from Control Menu when the TOC reading of the
disc is finished. If you want to play back
– both the MP3 audio tracks and JPEG image files,
set “MODE (MP3, JPEG)” to “AUTO”.
– MP3 audio tracks only, set “MODE(MP3, JPEG)”
to “AUDIO (MP3)”.
– JPEG image files only, set “MODE (MP3, JPEG)”
to “IMAGE (JPEG)”.
• The system can playback to a depth of 8 folders only.
Tips
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of
the track or file names when you store the tracks
or files in a disc, the tracks and files will be played
back in that order.
• Since a disc with many trees takes a longer time to
start play back, it is recommended that you create
albums with no more than two trees.
