Introduction

7 Safety precautions

Avoid moisture, water and dust

Notes on handling

7 Important cautions

Installation of the system

• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold;

between 5°C and 35°C.

Do not place the system in moist or dusty places.

Avoid high temperatures

Do not expose the system to direct sunlight and do not place it near

a heating device.

When you are away

When away on travel or for other reasons for an extended period of

time, disconnect the power cord plugs from the wall outlet.

• Leave sufficient distance between the system and the TV.

• Do not use the system in a place subject to vibration.

Power cord

Do not block the vents

Blocking the vents may damage the system.

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!

• A small amount of power is always consumed while the power

cord is connected to the wall outlet (center unit only).

• When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always

pull on the plug, not the power cord.

Care of the cabinet

When cleaning the system, use a soft cloth and follow the relevant

instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths. Do not use

benzene, thinner or other organic solvents including disinfectants.

These may cause deformation or discoloring.

To prevent malfunctions of the system

• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes

wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.

• Do not insert any metallic object into the system.

• Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart, flower or

credit card, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage

the system.

If water gets inside the system

Turn the system off and disconnect the power cord plug from the

wall outlet, then call the store where you made your purchase.

Using the system in this condition may cause fire or electrical

shock.

• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it

may damage the system.

About discs

Notes on DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM

• This system can also play finalized DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs

recorded in DVD VIDEO format and DVD-RWs or DVD-RAMs

recorded in DVD VR format.

Playable disc types

This system has been designed to play back the following discs:

• This system can also play DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs if MP3, WMA,

and JPEG files are recorded on them with UDF Bridge format.

This system does not support “multi-border” discs.

DVD VIDEO

DVD AUDIO

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

• This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3, WMA and

JPEG files are recorded on them with ISO 9660 format.

• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20 sessions).

• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.

VCD/SVCD

Audio CD

Some discs may not be played back because of their disc

characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.

• DVD Logo is a trademark of DVD Format/Logo Licensing

Corporation.

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the

“Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of

Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be

recommended.

Unplayable discs:

SACD, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.

Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the

speakers.

•

This system accommodates the NTSC and PAL system. When

you play an NTSC disc with the scan mode set to “PAL”

(A pg. 19), the NTSC video signal is converted to the PAL60

signal and output.

Notes on file types

For all playable files

• The system can only recognize and play files with one of the

following extensions, which can be in any combination of upper

and lower case;

• On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs, their

actual operation may be different from what is explained in this

manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure,

not a malfunction of this system.

• Before playing back discs, read their instructions or cautions

carefully.

MP3:

“.MP3”, “.mp3”

WMA: “.WMA” , “.wma”

JPEG: “.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”

• The system recognizes up to 150 tracks (files) per group, 99

groups per disc, and the total number of the tracks (files) that the

system can play is 4000.

• Some files may not be played back normally because of their disc

characteristics or recording conditions.

Region code of DVD VIDEO

This system can play back DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code

numbers include the system’s Region Code, which is indicated on

the rear panel.

For MP3/WMA files

Example of playable DVD:

For Middle East

• The system supports MP3/WMA files recorded with a bit rate of

32 – 320 kbps and a sampling frequency of 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz,

24 kHz*, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.

• If the tag information (album name, artist, and track title, etc.) is

recorded on a disc, it appears in the file control display on the TV

screen. (A pg. 30)

For Southeast Asia

• We recommend to record each piece of material (song) at a

sample rate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of

128 (96*) kbps.

For Australia, Central and South America

* For WMA only

For JPEG files

• We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution.

• This system can only play baseline JPEG files.

If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,

“REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and

playback cannot start.

• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.

• The front and center speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color

distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they may

cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when

installing the speakers.

– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s main

power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait

at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power switch

again.

NOTE

• If your TV supports progressive video input, you can enjoy a high

quality picture by setting the progressive scan mode to active.

(A pg. 19)

• If the component video input jacks of your TV are of the BNC type,

use a plug adapter (not supplied) to convert the pin plugs to BNC

plugs.

Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the

above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.

• The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded.

If it is located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause

color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the

speaker nearby the TV or monitor.

• The component video signals can be output only when you select

“DVD” as the source to play. (A pg. 18)

7 To connect a TV equipped with the composite or S-

video jacks

• Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you place

the powered subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance

between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.

Introduction

7 Safety precautions

Avoid moisture, water and dust

Notes on handling

7 Important cautions

Installation of the system

• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold;

between 5°C and 35°C.

Do not place the system in moist or dusty places.

Avoid high temperatures

Do not expose the system to direct sunlight and do not place it near

a heating device.

When you are away

When away on travel or for other reasons for an extended period of

time, disconnect the power cord plugs from the wall outlet.

• Leave sufficient distance between the system and the TV.

• Do not use the system in a place subject to vibration.

Power cord

Do not block the vents

Blocking the vents may damage the system.

• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!

• A small amount of power is always consumed while the power

cord is connected to the wall outlet (center unit only).

• When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always

pull on the plug, not the power cord.

Care of the cabinet

When cleaning the system, use a soft cloth and follow the relevant

instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths. Do not use

benzene, thinner or other organic solvents including disinfectants.

These may cause deformation or discoloring.

To prevent malfunctions of the system

• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes

wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.

• Do not insert any metallic object into the system.

• Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart, flower or

credit card, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage

the system.

If water gets inside the system

Turn the system off and disconnect the power cord plug from the

wall outlet, then call the store where you made your purchase.

Using the system in this condition may cause fire or electrical

shock.

• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it

may damage the system.

About discs

Notes on DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM

• This system can also play finalized DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs

recorded in DVD VIDEO format and DVD-RWs or DVD-RAMs

recorded in DVD VR format.

Playable disc types

This system has been designed to play back the following discs:

• This system can also play DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs if MP3, WMA,

and JPEG files are recorded on them with UDF Bridge format.

This system does not support “multi-border” discs.

DVD VIDEO

DVD AUDIO

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

• This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3, WMA and

JPEG files are recorded on them with ISO 9660 format.

• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20 sessions).

• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.

VCD/SVCD

Audio CD

Some discs may not be played back because of their disc

characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.

• DVD Logo is a trademark of DVD Format/Logo Licensing

Corporation.

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the

“Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of

Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be

recommended.

Unplayable discs:

SACD, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.

Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the

speakers.

•

This system accommodates the NTSC and PAL system. When

you play an NTSC disc with the scan mode set to “PAL”

(A pg. 17), the NTSC video signal is converted to the PAL60

signal and output.

Notes on file types

For all playable files

• The system can only recognize and play files with one of the

following extensions, which can be in any combination of upper

and lower case;

• On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs, their

actual operation may be different from what is explained in this

manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure,

not a malfunction of this system.

• Before playing back discs, read their instructions or cautions

carefully.

MP3:

“.MP3”, “.mp3”

WMA: “.WMA” , “.wma”

JPEG: “.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”

• The system recognizes up to 150 tracks (files) per group, 99

groups per disc, and the total number of the tracks (files) that the

system can play is 4000.

• Some files may not be played back normally because of their disc

characteristics or recording conditions.

Region code of DVD VIDEO

This system can play back DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code

numbers include the system’s Region Code, which is indicated on

the rear panel.

For MP3/WMA files

Example of playable DVD:

• The system supports MP3/WMA files recorded with a bit rate of

32 – 320 kbps and a sampling frequency of 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz,

24 kHz*, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.

• If the tag information (album name, artist, and track title, etc.) is

recorded on a disc, it appears in the file control display on the TV

screen. (A pg. 28)

• We recommend to record each piece of material (song) at a

sample rate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of

128 (96*) kbps.

1 2

ALL

1 2

If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,

“REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and

playback cannot start.

* For WMA only

For JPEG files

• We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution.

• This system can only play baseline JPEG files.

CAUTION

• When moving the speakers, do not pull the speaker cords;

otherwise, the speakers may fall over, causing damage or injury.

• Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that they are

distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by internal

heat buildup.

• When you connect speakers other than the supplied ones, use

speakers of the same speaker impedance (SPEAKER IMPEDANCE)

indicated near the speaker terminals on the rear of the powered

subwoofer.

• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one speaker terminal.

(For TH-C6)

• When holding a speaker, always grasp the lower portion.

• Do not lean against the speakers, as the speakers could fall down

or break, possibly causing an injury. Especially be careful that

children do not lean against them.

• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.

• The front and center speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color

distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they may

cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when

installing the speakers.

– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s main

power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait

at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power switch

again.

NOTE

• If your TV supports progressive video input, you can enjoy a high

quality picture by setting the progressive scan mode to active.

(A pg. 17)

• If the component video input jacks of your TV are of the BNC type,

use a plug adapter (not supplied) to convert the pin plugs to BNC

plugs.

Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the

above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.

• The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded.

If it is located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause

color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the

speaker nearby the TV or monitor.

• The component video signals can be output only when you select

“DVD” as the source to play. (A pg. 16)

7 To connect a TV equipped with the composite or S-

video jacks

• Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you place

the powered subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance

between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.
