Introduction

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 (41°F and 95°F).

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.

•

Some discs may not be played back.

•

Some tracks on an MP3 disc may be skipped or may not be

played back normally.

• This system can also play back MP3 and JPEG files recorded on

•

Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.

CD-Rs and CD-RWs. ( pg. 21)

• 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.

• 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.

About MP3 discs

Mark (Logo)

Code

Type

Format

MP3 is an abbreviation for Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or

MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a compressed data file

format. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10

times as much data as one regular CD.

About JPEG discs

A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint

Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in

image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.

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;

MP3: “.MP3”, “.Mp3”, “.mP3” and “.mp3”

JPEG: “.jpg”, “.jpeg”, “.JPG”, “.JPEG” and any uppercase and

lowercase combination (such as “.Jpg”)

—

CD-RW

—

Note on Region Code

• 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”). ( pg. 47)

DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers. This

system can only play back DVDs recorded with the color system of

NTSC whose Region Code number includes “1”.

• Some MP3/JPEG discs may not be played back because of their

disc characteristics or recording conditions.

Examples:

Notes on MP3 discs only

• 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).

• 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.

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

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

cannot start.

• 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.

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.)

• 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.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

• 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.

Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now.

• Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.

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.

Creating realistic sound fields

You can use the following surround modes to reproduce a realistic

sound field.

• Dolby Surround

7 DTS Digital Surround

Used to reproduce multichannel soundtracks of the software

encoded with DTS Digital Surround ( ).

•

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.

•

• DTS Digital Surround

• DSP modes

•

DAP modes

•

All Channel Stereo

7 Dolby Surround

7 DSP modes

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

Dolby Digital

Used to reproduce multichannel soundtracks of the software

encoded with Dolby Digital ( ).

These DAP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround effects

while reproducing 2 channel stereo source, and can give you a real

“being there” feeling.

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

on the display window.

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.

Multiangle

By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in a

single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is called

the multiangle function.

Glossary

Aspect ratio

The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The

horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, and that of

wide-screens is 16:9.

Multichannel

DVD is specified to have each sound track constitute one sound

field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three

or more channels.

Chapter

Refers to individual chapters included in a title.

Multilanguage

When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is

generally called a multilanguage title.

Composite video signal

Refers to video signal comprised of three kinds of signals

combined: an image signal made up of luminance and chrominance

signals using the frequency multiplication technique; burst signal

providing the basis for color reproduction; and synchronization

signal.

Parental Lock

A feature of this system to automatically determine whether or not

to reproduce particular DVD software by comparing its parental

level (a measure of undesirability of scenes, etc. from educational

viewpoint) set for the software beforehand with that set on this

system by the user; if the software’s level is less restrictive than the

user-set level, it will be reproduced.

Component video signal

A video signal system where parts of information necessary for

reproducing image signal comprised of the three primary colors of

light are transmitted via separate signal lines. Types of signal, such

as R/G/B, Y/P^B/P^R, etc., are available.

Playback control (PBC)

Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for

controlling reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a

Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-

type software as well as software having a search function.

Disc menu

A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images, sounds,

subtitles, multiangles, etc. recorded on a DVD.

Progressive scan

Interlaced scan

Progressive scan displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one

time, as a single frame. This system can convert the interlaced

video from DVD into progressive format for connection to a

progressive display. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.

In the conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display

monitor in two halves. The Interlaced scan system places lines of

the second half of the picture in-between lines of the first half of the

picture.

Region Code

JPEG

A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the regions

designated beforehand. All the countries in the world are divided

into six regions, each region being identified by a specified Region

Code (or region number). If the Region Code given to a disc

includes a numeral which matches one in the Region Code of a

player, the player can play back the disc.

A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint

Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in

image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.

Letter box

A method of displaying wide images like movies in the center of a

4:3 TV screen with no part of the image deleted, by placing black

bands on the top and bottom of the screen. This name has resulted

from the screen form looking literally like a letter box.

Sampling frequency

Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted to

digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how many

times the original analog signal is sampled per second.

Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)

A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for

later processing, with no data compression used in conversion.

Surround

A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of realism

by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.

MP3

A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the

abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1)

Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can

contain about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

Transfer rate

The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in baud

per second. The DVD system applies a variable transfer rate system

for high efficiency.
