About discs  
Playable disc types  
Disc structure  
Playable and non-playable disc types are as follows:  
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, 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.

in “Analog connections” (see below) or in “Digital connections”  
(see page 9).  
IMPORTANT  
This system is equipped with both the composite video and S-video  
input/output terminals for connecting video components.  
You do not have to connect both the composite video and S-video  
terminals.  
However, remember that the video signals from the composite video  
input terminals are output only through the composite video out  
terminals, while the ones from the S-video input terminals are  
output only through the S-video output terminals.  
Analog connections —————————————  
Analog component connections  
Use the cable with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).  
Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, and the red plug to the  
audio right jack.

DAP modes —————————————————  
The sound heard in a concert hall or club 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. These direct sounds and indirect sounds are the  
most important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DAP  
mode can create these important elements, and gives you a real  
“being there” feeling.

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 imagesand sound will not be  
picked up correctly, and such a discmay 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 placewhere 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.  
CAUTION:  
Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up toindustry standards.)  
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the center unit.

• See “CONNECTIONS 1” on the previous page.  
Note:  
• When you select “TV SOUND” as the source on the center unit,  
you cannot see the menu on the TV screen since the AV COMPU  
LINK remote control system automatically changes the TV’s  
input mode to the TV tuner.  
If you do not mind stopping listening to the TV sounds, you can  
then show the on-screen displays after changing the TV’s input  
mode to the appropriate position (either Video Input 1 or Video  
Input 2) the center unit is connected to.

automatically switch the television monitor to video input.  
Please perform the necessary operations directly with the  
television monitor.  
• If you turn off the center unit while recording on the VCR, the  
VCR will not turn off, but continue recording.  
• When “TV SOUND” is selected, in order for the AV COMPU  
LINK to change television input to “TV,” the onscreen display  
will not be viewable on the television monitor. To view the  
onscreen display, set the television monitor to the correct video  
input.

VCR, you can enjoy the video playback without setting other  
switches manually. The center unit automatically turns on and  
changes the source to “VCR.”  
• When connected to a television with a DBS tuner, the television’s  
automatic DBS switch will not operate.  
The TV automatically turns on and changes the input mode to the  
position so that you can view the playback picture.
