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.

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.

• 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.

Supplied accessories

Check to be sure you have all of the supplied accessories.

The number in parentheses is the quantity of the pieces supplied.

If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

discs. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright

laws.

Note about copyguard system

The discs are protected by copyguard system. When you connect

the system to your VCR directly, the copyguard system activates

and the picture may not be played back correctly.

About discs

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.

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.

Example of playable DVD:

• 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.

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

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

playback cannot start.

Discs you can play:

DVD VIDEO

Audio CD

CD-R

About files (tracks) and folders (groups) on the disc

This system can also play MP3, WMA, JPEG and MPEG4 files

recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs.

Files are sometimes grouped into folders on CD-Rs or CD-RWs by

genre, album, etc.

DVD AUDIO

In this manual, “group” is also referred to as “folder”, and “track”

as “file”.

• This system recognizes up to 150 files per group, and 99 groups

per disc.

The total number of files this system can detect on a disc is up to

1000.

VCD

CD-RW

SVCD

• The following discs cannot be played back:

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

Photo CD, SACD, 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.

DVD Logo is a trademark of DVD Format/Logo Licensing

Corporation.

About discs

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

Notes on MP3/WMA files

• User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can

be played back only if they are already “finalized”.

• When making your own disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2

for the disc format.

• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20 sessions).

• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.

• Before playing 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.

• Some discs may not be played due to their disc characteristics,

recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.

• This system can play CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in the audio

CD format.

• Tag information (album name, artist name, and track name) can

be shown on the TV. (See page 24.)

• The system can play back the MP3/WMA files recorded at 32

kbps to 320 kbps as a bit rate, and at 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, (24 kHz

for MP3 only) 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz as a sampling

frequency.

• 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 for

MP3 files or 96 kbps for WMA files.

Notes on JPEG files

• 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.

This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3/WMA/

JPEG/MPEG4 files are recorded on them.

Notes on MPEG4 files

• The system can play back the MPEG4 files followed the

conditions below:

File format: ASF

Visual profile: MPEG4 SP (Simple Profile)

Audio CODEC: G.726

Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3/

WMA/JPEG/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:

Max. picture size: 352 x 288 (CIF)

Max. bit rate: 384 kbps

•

Some tracks/files on an MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 disc may

be skipped or may not be played normally.

•

Some files on a JPEG/MPEG4 disc may be played distortedly.

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.)

• The system can only recognize files with one of the following

extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower

case:

MP3:

“.MP3”, “.mp3”

WMA: “.WMA”, “.wma”

JPEG: “.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”

MPEG4: “.ASF”, “.asf”

• If different kinds of the file are mixed on a disc, set the FILE

TYPE setting in the PICTURE menu to the appropriate setting

for the data to be read (“AUDIO”, “STILL PICTURE”, or

“VIDEO”). (See page 32.)

NOTE

• Although the satellite speakers and the 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, it may cause color

distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the

speakers.

• You need to set the scanning mode to “INTERLACE” or

“PROGRESSIVE” depending on the method to connect to your TV.

(See page 15.)

• If your TV supports progressive video input, you can enjoy a high

quality picture by setting the progressive scan mode to active. (See

page 15.)

• 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. (See page 14.)

- 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 subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you place the

subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance between them to

prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.
