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 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
• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, SACD, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready),
Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
• On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, 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.
Playable disc types
This system has been designed to play back the following discs:
DVD VIDEO, DVD AUDIO, Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD
(SVCD), Audio CD (CD), CD-R and CD-RW.
• This system accommodates the NTSC system, and also can play
discs recorded with PAL system. Note that the PAL video signal
on a disc is converted to an NTSC signal and output.
• This system can also play MP3, WMA, JPEG and MPEG4 files
recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs. (A pg. 22)
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
• This system can also play finalized DVD-R/-RWs recorded in
DVD VIDEO format. However, some discs may not be played
because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.
• User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can
be played back only if they are already “finalized”.
• This system can play 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 CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3, WMA,
JPEG or MPEG4 files are recorded on them.
Discs you can play:
DVD VIDEO
CD
However, some discs may not be played back because of their
disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on
them.
Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3,
WMA, JPEG or MPEG4 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:
DVD AUDIO
CD-R
•
Some discs may not be played back.
Some tracks on an MP3 or WMA disc may be skipped or may
not be played back normally.
VCD
CD-RW
•
•
Some files on a JPEG or MPEG4 disc may be played back
distortedly.
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions
or cautions carefully.
SVCD
• 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.
DVD Logo is a trademark of DVD Format/Logo Licensing
Corporation.
Region code of DVD VIDEO
DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own
Region Code numbers. This system can play back DVD VIDEO
discs whose Region Code numbers include the system’s Region
Code, which is indicated on the rear panel.
Example of playable DVD:
1 2
3 4
ALL
1 2
1
If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,
“REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and
playback cannot start.

About discs
Notes on MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs
• MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW)
require a longer readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of
the directory/file configuration.)
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.)
• When making an MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 disc, select ISO
9660 Level 1 or Level 2 for the disc format.
• This system can only play baseline JPEG files.
• Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.
• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20 sessions).
• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.
• The system can only play MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 files with
the following file extensions;
Notes on MPEG4 disc only
• The system supports the types of simple profile as MPEG4 files
(MPEG4 SP).
• The system supports MPEG4 files recorded with the maximum
bit rate of 384 kbps and an audio codec of G.726. (To play the
MPEG4 file, it is required that G.726 formatted audio data is
contained in that file.)
• The maximum size of the played picture is at a 352 x 288 pixel
resolution (CIF).
MP3:
“.MP3”, “.Mp3”, “.mP3” and “.mp3”
combination (such as “.Wma”)
JPEG: “.jpg”, “.jpeg”, “.JPG”, “.JPEG” and any uppercase and
lowercase combination (such as “.Jpg”)
MPEG4: “.asf”, “.ASF” and any uppercase and lowercase
combination (such as “.Asf”)
• Some files may be skipped or may not be played normally.
• If different type of files (audio (MP3/WMA), still picture
(JPEG), and video (MPEG4) files) are recorded on a disc, set the
FILE TYPE setting in the PICTURE menu to the appropriate
setting for the data to be read. (A pg. 39)
• The system recognizes up to 150 tracks (files) per group, 99
groups per disc, and the total number of the tracks (files) that the
system can play is 1000. For example, if you set FILE TYPE to
AUDIO (A pg. 39) and play a disc that contains 500 MP3 tracks,
200 JPEG files, and 600 WMA tracks, the system can play 500
MP3 tracks and the first 500 of 600 WMA tracks.
• Some MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs may not be played back
conditions.
Notes on MP3/WMA discs only
• The system supports MP3 files recorded with a bit rate of 32 –
320 kbps and a sampling frequency of 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz,
24 kHz*, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.
• If the tag information (album name, artist, and track title, etc.) is
recorded on a disc, it appears in the file control display on the TV
screen. (A pg. 30)
• 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 (96*) kbps.
• Some tracks may be skipped or may not be played back
normally.

NOTE
• Although the satellite speakers and the powered subwoofer are
magnetically shielded, the TV screen may appear mottled. In this
case, keep enough distance between the speakers and the TV.
• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on
TVs. However, if not installed properly, they may cause color
distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the
speakers.
– When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s main
power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait
at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power switch
again.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the
above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.
• Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you place
the powered subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance
between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.
For TH-M606/TH-M603 only:
NOTE
• If your TV supports progressive video input, you can enjoy a high
quality picture by setting the progressive scan mode to active.
(A pg. 20)
• If the component video input jacks of your TV are of the BNC type,
use a plug adapter (not supplied) to convert the pin plugs to BNC
plugs.
• The component video signals can be output only when you select
“DVD” as the source to play. (A pg. 19)
