Introduction

7 Safety precautions

Avoid moisture, water and dust

Notes on handling

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.

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.

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.

Note about copyright laws

Check the copyright laws in your country before recording from the

discs. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright

laws.

• Screws (for TH-S33)

M4 M 40 mm (6)

• Composite Video cord (1)

Note about copyguard system

• AC plug adaptor (except for Hong Kong, the countries of the

Middle East, and Australia)

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, Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD (SVCD), Audio

CD (CD), CD-R and CD-RW.

• Example of playable DVD:

• This system accommodates the PAL system, and also can play

discs recorded with NTSC system. Note that an NTSC video

signal on a disc is converted to the PAL60 signal and output.

• 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.

For the countries of the Middle East

For Southeast Asia

Discs you can play:

DVD VIDEO

Audio CD

SVCD

For Australia, Central and South America

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

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

playback cannot start.

VCD

Notes on DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM

• This system can also play finalized DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs

recorded in DVD VIDEO format and DVD-RWs or DVD-RAMs

recorded in DVD VR format.

• The following discs cannot be played back:

CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, SACD, etc.

• This system can also play DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs if MP3 and

JPEG files are recorded on them with UDF Bridge format.

This system does not support “multi-border” disc.

Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the

speakers.

• 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.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

• This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3 and JPEG

files are recorded on them with ISO 9660 format.

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

• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.

Some discs may not be played back because of their disc

characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.

About discs

For all playable files

Notes on MP3 files

• The system can only recognize and play files with one of the

following extensions, which can be in any combination of upper

and lower case;

• 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 files recorded at 32 kbps to

320 kbps as a bit rate, and at 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz,

44.1 kHz and 48 kHz as a sampling frequency.

MP3:

“.MP3”, “.mp3”

JPEG:

“.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”

• 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 4000.

• Some files may not be played back normally because of their disc

characteristics or recording conditions.

• MP3/JPEG discs require a longer readout time. (It differs due to

the complexity of the directory/file configuration.)

• 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” or “STILL PICTURE”). (See

page 32.)

• 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.

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.

Precautions for daily use

7 Assembling the front speakers for TH-S33

• When moving the speakers, do not pull the speaker cords;

otherwise, the speakers may fall over, causing damage or injury.

• When holding a speaker, always grasp the lower portion.

• Do not lean against the speakers, as the speakers could fall down

or break, possibly causing an injury. Especially be careful that

children do not lean against them.

• Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that they are

distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by internal

heat buildup.

Base plates

Before assembling —

• Prepare a Phillips screwdriver (not supplied).

• Take care not to drop any component part while assembling;

otherwise, it may cause damage to the floor or injury.

• When you connect speakers other than the supplied ones, use

speakers of the same speaker impedance (SPEAKER IMPEDANCE)

indicated on the rear of the center unit.

• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one speaker terminal.

•

Care must be taken in selecting a location for speaker installation

on a wall. Injury to personnel or damage to equipment may result

if the speakers installed interfere with daily activities.

• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.

• The front and center 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.

Center unit

To audio output

– 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.

• The surround speakers and the subwoofer are not magnetically

shielded.

If it is located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause

color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the

speaker nearby the TV or monitor.

• 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.
