Introduction

7 Safety precautions

Avoid moisture, water and dust

Notes on handling

Do not place the system in moist or dusty places.

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.

Avoid high temperatures

Do not expose the system to direct sunlight and do not

place it near a heating device.

• Leave sufficient distance between the system and the TV.

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

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.

Power cord

• 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.

• When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet,

always pull on the plug, not the power cord.

Do not block the vents

Blocking the vents may damage the system.

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 a fire or electrical shock.

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

because it may damage the system.

√*

This system can play finalized discs only.

Recorded with UDF Bridge format.

This system may not be able to play back a file if the file

size is too large.

Unplayable discs

DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD,

SACD, etc.

Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage

the speakers.

• It is possible to play back finalized +R/+RW (DVD Video

Format only) discs. “DVD” lights on the display panel

when a +R/+RW disc is loaded.

• This system accommodates the NTSC and PAL system.

When you play an NTSC disc with the scan mode set to

“PAL” (see page 16), the NTSC video signal is converted

to the PAL60 signal and output.

• 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.

• On some DVD VIDEOs, 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.

Connecting a TV

To obtain the best possible sound from this system, you

need to place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the

same distance from the listening position.

• You can get better picture quality in the order —

Component video > S-video > Composite video.

• Distortion of picture may occur when connecting the TV

via a VCR, or to a TV with a built-in VCR.
