Special features  
Micro-component system featuring DVD VIDEO and MD  
A DVD VIDEO player and MD recorder are provided as standard. This combination can be used for example  
for playing DVD music software and record its audio output on an MD. (Note that it is only the analog audio  
that can be recorded when recording DVD Video, VCD or MP3 file playback on MD.)  
MP3 playback  
Music files recorded in the MP3 audio compression format can be played back.  
MD Long Play modes  
Preparationsection  
With the long-hour recording/playback modes (LP2, LP4) based on ATRAC3 (MDLP), digital long-hour re-  
cording/playback for twice (about 160 minutes*) or 4 times (about 320 minutes*) the normal recording/  
playback time is now available. (* Data using a 80-minute disc.)  
CD = MD high-speed dubbing  
This convenient feature enables simple, quick dubbing from a CD to an MD.  
(Note that recording of discs other than CD on MD is possible only in the normal speed because it is only  
their analog audio output that can be recorded on MD.)  
Convenient recording features  
Basicsection  
Versatile recording features are provided, allowing the user to select desired one for each purpose.  
÷ One-touch recording :  
Pressing a single key starts recording of all tracks or a single track in a disc.  
÷ Program recording :  
Your favorite tracks can be recorded in any desired order. (Program recording is not available with DVD-VIDEO and  
MP3 files.)  
Versatile timer features  
Applicationsection  
÷ Sleep timer :  
The unit is turned OFF automatically after the specified period has elapsed. It is convenient for example for  
falling asleep while listening to music in the night time, etc.  
÷ O.T.T. :  
This timer setting is executed only for an hour (and for once) when the set start time comes.  
÷ Timer playback, timer recording :  
Two timer programs (PROG.1, PROG.2) are available for timer playback (AI timer playback) or timer recording.  
(With the AI timer playback, the playback volume increases gradually after the start of timer playback.)

Installation of speakers and positioning of TV  
1. Color irregularities on the TV screen may also be produced depending on the method how the speakers are installed.  
When color irregularities are observed after the speaker installation, first turn the TV off, wait for 15 to 30 minutes and turn  
it on again: The interference may be improved by the self-demagnetizing function of the TV. If the color irregularities still  
remain, install the speakers more apart from the TV.  
2. If a source of magnetism such as a magnet is located near the speakers, its interaction with the speakers may cause  
color irregularities on the TV screen. Also take care of this point when installing the speakers.  
3. Due to induction by the electromagnetic waves produced by a TV, the speakers may produce sound even when the stereo  
unit is turned off. In this case also, install the speakers more apart from the TV.  
CAUTION  
Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.  
÷ Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside dimension including projection) equal to or greater than,  
shown below.  
Back panel : 10 cm  
1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are imperfect, the sound may not be  
produced or noise may interfere.  
2. Before plugging or unplugging a connection cord, be sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.  
If connection cords are plugged or unplugged with the power cord left plugged in, malfunction or damage may  
result.

DTS disclaimer clause  
When playing DTS-encoded (CDs, LDs, DVDs), excessive noise will be exhibited from the analog stereo  
outputs. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions  
when the analog stereo outputs of the DVD player is connected to an amplification system. To enjoy  
DTSDigitalSurroundplayback, anexternal5.1channelDTSDigitalSurrounddecodersystemmust  
be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the DVD player.  
1. This unit always down-mixes multi-channel surround audio into 2-channel audio and outputs it from the  
AUDIO AUX OUT, DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and PHONES jacks. However, with certain discs, this unit  
outputs only the Front (L/R) channel signals in place of the down-mixed 2-channel signals.  
2. In case an associated system component is connected, also read the instruction manual of the component.  
3. Insert the optical-fiber cable straight into the connector until it clicks.  
4. Never bend or bundle the optical-fiber cable.

Stereo LP modes (LP2, LP4) : The stereo LP modes enables long hours of recording by adopting higher  
digital audio compression rates than the stereo and monaural recording modes. The LP4 mode features  
even longer recording time by adopting even higher compression rate than the LP2 mode.

When a track recorded in stereo LP2 or LP4 mode is played back on an MDLP-incompatible recorder/  
player, the disc can be played but no audio will be reproduced. When an MD containing tracks recorded in  
stereo LP2 and LP4 modes and those recorded in the STEREO and MONO modes is played back, audio will  
be reproduced only with the tracks recorded in STEREO and MONO modes. When playing such an MD, be  
careful not to increase the volume setting during playback with no audio reproduction. Otherwise, a very  
high volume will be reproduced when playback of a track recorded in the STEREO or MONO mode starts.

Note that "LP:" is displayed as a part of track title only when a track is recorded in stereo LP2 or LP4 mode

This unit allows you to select the STAMP function on ("LP:" attached to the title) or off ("LP:" not attached

Recording on MD  
Sampling frequency  
Three types of digital signals are usually used according to the sampling frequencies. The sampling fre-  
quencies vary depending on the types of digital equipment as shown below.  
32 kHz : A mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.  
44.1 kHz : CD, MD, etc.  
48 kHz : CS tuner, B mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.  
In general, high-quality recording based on digital signal transmission is not possible unless the source  
and recorder components use the same sampling frequency. As this unit has a built-in sampling rate  
converter, digital signals with 32 kHz and 48 kHz can be recorded by conversion to the MD sampling  
frequency (44.1 kHz).

a track is assigned to a piece of music. However,  
with a VCD, the sections of the contents do not  
always correspond to the assigned tracks. As  
(special) playback functions such as skipping and  
programming of ordinary CDs are based on track  
number data, such playback functions are some-  
times impossible with some VCDs.  
Letterbox (DVD): Method of displaying a horizon-  
tally-long picture recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio on  
a 4:3 TV screen by attaching bands at the top and  
bottom of the screen and displaying the horizon-

Frame (DVD, VCD): Each frame of a moving pic-

TV formats reproduce moving pictures by dis-  
playing still pictures sequentially.

types before being coded in digital signal.  
Aspect ratio: The ratio between the horizontal and  
vertical sizes of picture displayed on a TV screen.  
The aspect ratio of ordinary TV is 4:3, and that of  
widescreen TV is 16:9.  
I-picture (Intra coded) : This is the standard  
video and can constitute a picture by itself. As  
the highest picture quality can be obtained, the  
still image of I-picture is most suitable for use  
when adjusting the picture quality.  
Pan & scan (DVD): Method of displaying a horizon-  
tally-long picture recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio on  
a 4:3 TV screen by trimming part of picture.  
Knowledgesections  
In general, the trimming positions for pan & scan  
are determined uniformly by the reproducing de-
