Audio CD
A DVD disc is comprised of “titles”, while an Audio CD or Video
CD is comprised of “tracks”. Each title may be divided into some
“chapters”. For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies,
each movie may have its own title number, and each movie may be
divided into some chapters. In a DVD karaoke disc, each song
usually has its own title number and does not have chapters. In
general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in
the same title has continuity.
The DVD Logo is a trademark.

Optimized for all discs playable on this
system. (Default)
Select this mode when playing a DVD disc
recorded in DTS Surround.
The DTS decoder will be selected as the
internal decoder.
When to try changing the decode mode
With Dolby digital (Lt/Rt*)
When the decode mode is set to the default AUTO/PCM setting
and a DVD recorded in Dolby Digital Surround or DTS Digital
Surround is played, the internal decoder will be automatically
selected before audio playback begins. Depending on the disc
recorded in DTS Digital Surround, this may result in a brief loss of
audio after playback starts. This is due to lost audio signals that
were inputted during internal decoder selection.
With stereo sound (e.g. Audio CD)
In these instances, lost audio can be prevented by manually
selecting “DTS” beforehand.
However, please note that when the decode mode is set
to DTS, you will be unable to playback audio from discs
recorded in a mode other than the DTS Digital Surround.
After changing the decode mode and playing back a disc, return
the decode mode to “AUTO/PCM”.
* Lt/Rt refers to the downmix output when connected
to a device that uses Dolby Pro Logic.
Note:
Note:
• Changing the playback source (e.g. AM/FM) will
automatically return the decode mode to “AUTO/PCM”.
• The audio channel indicator does not show the actual
speaker channel that is producing sound.
When a decode mode which differs from the type
of disc being played is selected
Insert a DVD disc in the center unit to display the type of audio
being played in the Decode mode indicator on the display window.
Audio cannot be played if a decode mode which differs from the
displayed mode is selected.
The selected decode mode flashes to indicate that the selected
decode mode does not allow audio playback.
Example: When DTS is selected as the decode mode for Dolby

About characters shown in the display
Using the RDS (Radio Data System)
to receive FM stations
RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with
their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their
station names, as well as information about what type of program
they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
window
When the display shows PS, PTY, or RT signals, the following
characters are used.
• The display window cannot differentiate upper case and lower
case letters and always uses upper case letters.
• The display window cannot show accented letters, “A,” for
instance, may stand for accented “A’s” like “Å, Ä, Ã, Á, À, and
Â.”
When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the
RDS indicator lights up on the display window.
Note:
With the center unit, you can receive the following types of RDS
signals.
• If searching finishes at once, “PS”, “PTY”, and “RT” will not
appear on the display window.
PS (Program Service):
PTY (Program Type):
RT (Radio Text):
Shows commonly known
station names.
Shows types of broadcast
programs.
Shows text messages the
station sends.
Searching for a program by PTY
codes
One of the advantages of the RDS service is that you can locate a
particular kind of program from the preset channels (see page 40)
by specifying the PTY codes.
EON (Enhanced Other Network):See page 43.
Notes:
To search for a program using the PTY codes
• RDS is not available for AM (MW) broadcasts.
• RDS may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not
transmitting RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is
weak.
Before you start, remember...
• The PTY Search is only applicable to preset stations.
• To stop searching any time during the process, press PTY
SEARCH while searching.
• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting
is cancelled before you finish, start from step 1 again.
• When pressing the buttons on the primary remote control, make
sure that you have selected the FM station using the primary
remote control.

Care and handling of discs
■■
How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc.
Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged.
If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the image sand sound will not be
picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the player to malfunction.
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do
not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid
leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth,
moving from the center outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water.
Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.
Cleaning the lens
If the lens in the laser pickup is dirty, video image irregularities, sound dropout, etc., could occur.
Open the disc cover and clean the lens as shown below:
• Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow dust off the lens.
Blower
Lens
• If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe clean with a cotton swab.
Cotton swab
CAUTIONS:
• Do not use irregular shape discs (heat-shape, octagonal, etc.). Using these discs can damage the center unit.
• Sometimes during playback, noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up
to industry standards.)
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the center unit.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”
This equipment has been disigned and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections
between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is
damaged in any way–switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed
for unattended operation or has a standby mode.
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements
of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always
fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the
case -this could result in a fatal electrical shock.;
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind -it is better to be safe than sorry!
