7 Safety precautions
Notes on handling
7 Important cautions
Avoid moisture, water and dust
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.
Installation of the system
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold;
between 5°C and 35°C.
When you are away
When away on travel or for other reasons for an extended period of
time, disconnect the power cord plug 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 (1.0 watt) 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
Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3 disc
or a JPEG disc are determined by the writing (encoding) software
and hardware used for recording. Therefore, due to the software
and hardware used, the following symptoms may occur:
Playable disc types
This system has been designed to play back the following discs:
DVD Video (DVD), Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD (SVCD),
Audio CD, CD-R and CD-RW.
• This system can also play back MP3 and JPEG files recorded on
CD-Rs and CD-RWs. (A pg. 23)
• This system can also play back finalized DVD-Rs recorded in
DVD VIDEO format. However, some discs may not be played
back because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.
•
Some discs may not be played back.
•
Some tracks on an MP3 disc may be skipped or may not be
played back normally.
•
Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions
or cautions carefully.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by
the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of
regular CDs.

format. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10
times as much data as one regular CD.

Notes on MP3/JPEG discs
• MP3/JPEG discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer
readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the directory/file
configuration.)
• When making an MP3/JPEG disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or
Level 2 for the disc format.
• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 sessions).
• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.
• The system can only play MP3/JPEG files with the following file
extensions;
—
CD-RW
—
—
MP3: “.MP3”, “.Mp3”, “.mP3” and “.mp3”
JPEG: “.jpg”, “.jpeg”, “.JPG”, “.JPEG” and any uppercase and
lowercase combination (such as “.Jpg”)
• If both MP3 files and JPEG files are recorded on a disc, set the
MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE menu to the appropriate
setting for the data to be read (“MP3” or “JPEG”). (A pg. 53)
• Some MP3/JPEG discs may not be played back because of their
disc characteristics or recording conditions.
* Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers. This
system can only play back DVDs recorded with the color system of
PAL whose Region Code number includes “2”.
Examples:
Notes on MP3 discs only
If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,
“REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and playback
cannot start.
• ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display.
* An MP3 file can contain file information called an “ID3 Tag”
where its album name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded.
There are two versions, ID3v1 (ID3 Tag version 1) and ID3v2
(ID3 Tag version 2).
• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, CD-ROM,
CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
• On some DVDs, Video CDs 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.
• 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 kbps.
• Some tracks on an MP3 disc may be skipped or may not be
played back normally.
Notes on JPEG discs only
• We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a file
has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480, it will
take a longer time to be displayed.)
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
• This system can only play baseline JPEG files*. Progressive
JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played.
* Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web, etc.
Progressive JPEG format:Used for web.
Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now.
• Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.
• User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can
be played back only if they are already “finalized”.
• This system can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a
personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD
format.
This system can also play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3 files
or JPEG files are recorded on them.
However, some discs may not be played back because of their
disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on
them.

Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Digital
DTS Digital Surround (DTS) is another discrete multichannel
digital audio format available on CD, LD and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression ratio is relatively
low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth
and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital
Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.

DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic
surround elements.
The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion consists
of direct sound and indirect sound — early reflections and
reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly
without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are
delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls (see the diagram
below).
These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic
surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound
field by adding these indirect sounds.
Dolby Pro Logic II
*
Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multichannel playback
format to decode all 2 channel sources — stereo source and Dolby
Surround encoded source — into a 5.1 channel.
The matrix-based encoding/decoding method used by Dolby Pro
Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the treble
from surround channel and enables stereo surround sound
compared to conventional Dolby Pro Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic II enables to reproduce spacious sound from
original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal coloration.
Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes — Movie mode and Music
mode:
• Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)
The following DAP modes are provided with this system.
Suitable for reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded sources

• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights

Dolby Digital 5.1 ch (DOLBY D) encoding method (so-called
discrete multichannel digital audio format) records and digitally
compresses the front left channel, front right channel, center
channel, surround left channel, surround right channel and LFE
channel signals.
Since each channel is completely independent from the other
channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much better
sound quality with much stereo and surround effects.
NOTE
• Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two categories-
multichannel (up to “5.1” channel) and 2 channel software. To enjoy
surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2 ch software, you can
use Dolby Pro Logic II.
