properly, it may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to  
the following when installing the speakers.  
@ Speakers  
To connect the speaker cords  
– 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 instruction. If this happens, move the  
speakers away from the TV.  
• When connecting the speaker cords, match their polarity  
with that of the speaker terminals: blue/red/green/white/  
gray to (+) and black to (–).  
For CA-DXT9  
From right front speaker (blue/black)  
• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to

Additional Information  
Daily Operations—Sound&Other Adjustments  
(see pages 14 to 18)  
Learning More about This System  
Introduction (see pages 1 to 2)  
Reinforcing the Bass Sound:  
Playable Disc Types:  
• About audio format  
• The adjustment for the subwoofer level does not affect the  
sound through the headphones.  
Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, the same  
format used for CDs and most studio masters.  
Dolby Digital: Compressed digital audio, developed by  
Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel  
encode to create the realistic surround sound.  
DTS (Digital Theater Systems): Compressed digital  
audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which  
enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the  
compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it  
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.  
Creating Your Own Sound Modes—User Mode:  
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure  
occurs, the User Mode settings will be erased in a few days.  
If this happens, set the User Modes again.  
Selecting the Surround Modes:  
• Dolby Pro Logic II Modes: Dolby Pro Logic II Mode is  
multichannel playback format to decode 2-channel sources  
into 5.1-channel. Dolby Pro Logic II enables to reproduce  
spacious sound from original sound without adding any  
new sounds and tonal colorations.  
• While you use the headphones, the Surround Mode is  
canceled temporarily (“STEREO” appears) and you cannot  
use SURROUND MODE and EFFECT.  
• Some DVD Audios prohibit downmix. While playing back  
such a disc...  
– You cannot change the Surround Mode. (“MULTI CH”  
appears on the display.)  
– The System plays back the left front and right front  
signals when you have selected “STEREO” for the  
Surround Mode or when you use the headphones. (“LR  
ONLY” appears on the display.)  
Changing the Color System and Scanning Mode:  
• If you play back an NTSC disc with the color system set to  
“PAL (PROG),” the disc will be reproduced using “PAL  
60” format, however, if the TV does not support this  
format, the screen may rolls over upward and downward  
rapidly.  
• If you play back a PAL disc with the color system set to  
“NTSC (PROG),” you can watch the playback pictures, but  
the following symptoms may occur:  
– The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and be shown  
slightly shifted when highlighted.  
– The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the  
original aspect ratio.  
– The picture movement is not smooth.  
• You cannot change the scanning mode to progressive in the  
following cases:  
– When your TV does not support the progressive video  
input.  
– When you have not connected your TV to the unit using  
a component video cord.  
• When you play back an NTSC disc in progressive scanning  
mode, the System outputs the NTSC signal regardless of  
the color system settings.  
• If you use a DVD-RAM with a cartridge, take the disc out  
of the cartridge before inserting.  
Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 9 to 13)  
Listening to the Radio:  
• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number,  
the previously stored station in that number will be erased.  
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure  
occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If  
this happens, preset the stations again.  
Playing Back a Disc:  
• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual operations  
may be different from what is explained in this manual, due  
to the programming and disc structure; such differences are  
not a malfunction of this System.  
• When playing back a DVD Audio disc recorded in MLP  
(Meridian Lossless Packing; a lossless audio compression  
system that can completely recreate the PCM signal), the  
signals are recognized as the linear PCM signals, however,  
no indicator lights up on the display.  
• For MP3/WMA playback...  
– MP3/WMA discs require a longer readout time than  
regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/  
file configuration.)  
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will  
be skipped. This results from their recording processes  
and conditions.  
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1  
or Level 2 for the disc format.  
– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the  
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the  
letter case—upper/lower).  
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at  
a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.  
This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less  
than 64 kbps.  
Setting the Clock:  
• “0:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.  
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this  
happens, reset the clock.

– This System can play only baseline JPEG files*.  
Progressive JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot  
be played.  
* Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras,  
web, etc.  
Unique DVD/VCD Operations (see pages 19 to 21)  
Selecting the Sound Track:  
• On some DVD Videos, you cannot change audio languages  
while playing back.  
Playing Back Bonus Group:  
• You cannot select a track in the bonus group for Program  
Play.  
Special Picture Playback:  
• During slow-motion playback, no sound will be  
reproduced.  
• You cannot use frame-by-frame playback for DVD-VR.  
• While zoomed in, the picture may look coarse.  
Progressive JPEG format:Used for web.  
Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used  
now.  
• This System can play back JPEG files with the extension  
code <.jpg> or <.jpeg> (regardless of the letter case—  
upper/lower).  
• This System may not play back JPEG files properly if they  
are recorded on the devices other than digital still camera.  
• During slide-show playback, zoom cannot be operated.  
Advanced Disc Operations (see pages 22 to 24)  
Programming the Playing Order—Program Play:  
– While programming steps...  
Recording Operations (see pages 32 to 33)  
General:

an item number that does not exist on the disc (for  
example, selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12  
tracks).  
– For SVCD/VCD/CD loaded on the other tray than the  
current one, the System may prompt for the group  
number entry as well, however, these entries will be  
ignored during playback.  
• You cannot use Program Play and Random Play for DVD-  
VR/JPEG discs.  
• The programmed contents will remain until you erase it.  
• While the PROGRAM indicator is on, you cannot change  
the disc to play. (DISC 1 – 5 on the remote control and 3  
on the main unit do not work.)  
• You cannot change the source during recording.  
• There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto at the  
start and the end of cassette tapes. Thus, when recording  
discs or radio broadcasts, wind the leader tape first to  
ensure that the recording will be made without any music  
part lost.  
• If no cassette is inserted or a protected tape has been  
inserted, “NO REC” appears on the display.  
• The recording level is automatically set correctly. Thus,  
you can make sound adjustment other than the Surround  
Mode without affecting the recording level.  
Recording on a Tape:  
• When using Reverse Mode for recording, start recording in  
the forward (3) direction first; otherwise, recording will  
stop when only one side (reverse) of the tape is recorded.  
Synchronized Disc Recording:  
• Recording starts from the first track even if you have  
selected a track by using ¢/4. To specify track(s) to  
record, program them (or use One Track Recording).  
• While recording, you cannot use disc operation buttons  
(except for 7) and sound setting buttons (except for  
volume control).  
On-Screen Disc Operations (see pages 25 to 31)  
Operations Using the On-screen Bar:  
• A-B Repeat:

• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as  
indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the System.  
• The front and center 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.  
@ Speakers  
To connect the speaker cords  
– 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 instruction. If this happens, move the  
speakers away from the TV.  
• When connecting the speaker cords, match their polarity  
with that of the speaker terminals: blue/red/green/white/  
gray to (+) and black to (–).  
For CA-DXT9  
From right front speaker (blue/black)  
• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to  
each terminal.  
• DO NOT push or pull the speakers as this  
will damage the foot spacers at the bottom  
of the speakers.

Additional Information  
Daily Operations—Sound&Other Adjustments  
(see pages 14 to 18)  
Learning More about This System  
Introduction (see pages 1 to 2)  
Reinforcing the Bass Sound:  
Playable Disc Types:  
• About audio format  
• The adjustment for the subwoofer level does not affect the  
sound through the headphones.  
Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, the same  
format used for CDs and most studio masters.  
Dolby Digital: Compressed digital audio, developed by  
Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel  
encode to create the realistic surround sound.  
DTS (Digital Theater Systems): Compressed digital  
audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which  
enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the  
compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it  
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.  
Creating Your Own Sound Modes—User Mode:  
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure  
occurs, the User Mode settings will be erased in a few days.  
If this happens, set the User Modes again.  
Selecting the Surround Modes:  
• Dolby Pro Logic II Modes: Dolby Pro Logic II Mode is  
multichannel playback format to decode 2-channel sources  
into 5.1-channel. Dolby Pro Logic II enables to reproduce  
spacious sound from original sound without adding any  
new sounds and tonal colorations.  
• While you use the headphones, the Surround Mode is  
canceled temporarily (“STEREO” appears) and you cannot  
use SURROUND MODE and EFFECT.  
• Some DVD Audios prohibit downmix. While playing back  
such a disc...  
– You cannot change the Surround Mode. (“MULTI CH”  
appears on the display.)  
– The System plays back the left front and right front  
signals when you have selected “STEREO” for the  
Surround Mode or when you use the headphones. (“LR  
ONLY” appears on the display.)  
Changing the Color System and Scanning Mode:  
• If you play back an NTSC disc with the color system set to  
“PAL (PROG),” the disc will be reproduced using “PAL  
60” format, however, if the TV does not support this  
format, the screen may rolls over upward and downward  
rapidly.  
• If you play back a PAL disc with the color system set to  
“NTSC (PROG),” you can watch the playback pictures, but  
the following symptoms may occur:  
– The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and be shown  
slightly shifted when highlighted.  
– The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the  
original aspect ratio.  
– The picture movement is not smooth.  
• You cannot change the scanning mode to progressive in the  
following cases:  
– When your TV does not support the progressive video  
input.  
– When you have not connected your TV to the unit using  
a component video cord.  
• When you play back an NTSC disc in progressive scanning  
mode, the System outputs the NTSC signal regardless of  
the color system settings.  
• If you use a DVD-RAM with a cartridge, take the disc out  
of the cartridge before inserting.  
Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 9 to 13)  
Listening to the Radio:  
• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number,  
the previously stored station in that number will be erased.  
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure  
occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If  
this happens, preset the stations again.  
Playing Back a Disc:  
• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual operations  
may be different from what is explained in this manual, due  
to the programming and disc structure; such differences are  
not a malfunction of this System.  
• When playing back a DVD Audio disc recorded in MLP  
(Meridian Lossless Packing; a lossless audio compression  
system that can completely recreate the PCM signal), the  
signals are recognized as the linear PCM signals, however,  
no indicator lights up on the display.  
• For MP3/WMA playback...  
– MP3/WMA discs require a longer readout time than  
regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/  
file configuration.)  
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will  
be skipped. This results from their recording processes  
and conditions.  
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1  
or Level 2 for the disc format.  
– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the  
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the  
letter case—upper/lower).  
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at  
a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.  
This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less  
than 64 kbps.  
Setting the Clock:  
• “0:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.  
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this  
happens, reset the clock.

– This System can play only baseline JPEG files*.  
Progressive JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot  
be played.  
* Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras,  
web, etc.  
Unique DVD/VCD Operations (see pages 19 to 21)  
Selecting the Sound Track:  
• On some DVD Videos, you cannot change audio languages  
while playing back.  
Playing Back Bonus Group:  
• You cannot select a track in the bonus group for Program  
Play.  
Special Picture Playback:  
• During slow-motion playback, no sound will be  
reproduced.  
• You cannot use frame-by-frame playback for DVD-VR.  
• While zoomed in, the picture may look coarse.  
Progressive JPEG format:Used for web.  
Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used  
now.  
• This System can play back JPEG files with the extension  
code <.jpg> or <.jpeg> (regardless of the letter case—  
upper/lower).  
• This System may not play back JPEG files properly if they  
are recorded on the devices other than digital still camera.  
• During slide-show playback, zoom cannot be operated.  
Advanced Disc Operations (see pages 22 to 24)  
Programming the Playing Order—Program Play:  
– While programming steps...  
Recording Operations (see pages 32 to 33)  
General:

an item number that does not exist on the disc (for  
example, selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12  
tracks).  
– For SVCD/VCD/CD loaded on the other tray than the  
current one, the System may prompt for the group  
number entry as well, however, these entries will be  
ignored during playback.  
• You cannot use Program Play and Random Play for DVD-  
VR/JPEG discs.  
• The programmed contents will remain until you erase it.  
• While the PROGRAM indicator is on, you cannot change  
the disc to play. (DISC 1 – 5 on the remote control and 3

• You cannot change the source during recording.  
• There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto at the  
start and the end of cassette tapes. Thus, when recording  
discs or radio broadcasts, wind the leader tape first to  
ensure that the recording will be made without any music  
part lost.  
• If no cassette is inserted or a protected tape has been  
inserted, “NO REC” appears on the display.  
• The recording level is automatically set correctly. Thus,  
you can make sound adjustment other than the Surround  
Mode without affecting the recording level.

• Recording starts from the first track even if you have  
selected a track by using ¢/4. To specify track(s) to  
record, program them (or use One Track Recording).  
• While recording, you cannot use disc operation buttons  
(except for 7) and sound setting buttons (except for  
volume control).  
On-Screen Disc Operations (see pages 25 to 31)  
Operations Using the On-screen Bar:

Additional Information  
Daily Operations—Sound&Other Adjustments  
(see pages 12 to 15)  
Learning More about This System  
Introduction (see pages 1 to 2)  
Playable Disc Types:  
• About audio format  
Creating Your Own Sound Modes—User Mode:  
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure  
occurs, the User Mode settings will be erased in a few days.  
If this happens, set the User Modes again.  
Creating 3-dimensional Sound Field—3D Phonic:  
• While you use the headphones, 3D Phonic is canceled  
temporary.  
• 3D Phonic is also applied to the optical digital output  
signals through the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT  
terminal.  
Changing the Color System and Scanning Mode:  
• If you play back an NTSC disc with the color system set to  
“PAL (PROG),” the disc will be reproduced using “PAL  
60” format, however, if the TV does not support this  
format, the screen may rolls over upward and downward  
rapidly.  
• If you play back a PAL disc with the color system set to  
“NTSC (PROG),” you can watch the playback pictures, but  
the following symptoms may occur:  
– The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and be shown  
slightly shifted when highlighted.  
– The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the  
original aspect ratio.  
– The picture movement is not smooth.  
• You cannot change the scanning mode to progressive in the  
following cases:  
– When your TV does not support the progressive video  
input.  
– When you have not connected your TV to the unit using  
a component video cord.  
• When you play back an NTSC disc in progressive scanning  
mode, the System outputs the NTSC signal regardless of  
the color system settings.  
Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, the same  
format used for CDs and most studio masters.  
Dolby Digital: Compressed digital audio, developed by  
Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel  
encode to create the realistic surround sound.  
DTS (Digital Theater Systems): Compressed digital  
audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which  
enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the  
compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it  
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.  
• If you use a DVD-RAM with a cartridge, take the disc out  
of the cartridge before inserting.  
Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 7 to 11)  
Listening to the Radio:  
• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number,  
the previously stored station in that number will be erased.  
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure  
occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If  
this happens, preset the stations again.  
Playing Back a Disc:  
• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual operations  
may be different from what is explained in this manual, due  
to the programming and disc structure; such differences are  
not a malfunction of this System.  
• Some DVD Audios prohibit downmix. When you play  
back such a disc, “LR ONLY” appears on the display and  
the System plays back the left front and right front signals.  
• When playing back a DVD Audio disc recorded in MLP  
(Meridian Lossless Packing; a lossless audio compression  
system that can completely recreate the PCM signal), the  
signals are recognized as the linear PCM signals, however,  
no indicator lights up on the display.  
Setting the Clock:  
• “0:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.  
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this  
happens, reset the clock.  
• For MP3/WMA playback...  
– MP3/WMA discs require a longer readout time than  
regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/  
file configuration.)  
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will  
be skipped. This results from their recording processes  
and conditions.  
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1  
or Level 2 for the disc format.  
– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the  
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the  
letter case—upper/lower).  
Unique DVD/VCD Operations (see pages 16 to 18)  
Selecting the Sound Track:  
• On some DVD Videos, you cannot change audio languages  
while playing back.  
Playing Back Bonus Group:  
• You cannot select a track in the bonus group for Program  
Play.  
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at  
a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.  
This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less  
than 64 kbps.

inserted, “NO REC” appears on the display.  
• If you select the Surround Mode (DANCE, HALL,  
STADIUM—see page 13), you can also record the  
surround elements. (Other sound adjustments do not affect  
the recording level.)  
Recording on a Tape:  
• When using Reverse Mode for recording, start recording in  
the forward (3) direction first; otherwise, recording will  
stop when only one side (reverse) of the tape is recorded.

– Resume is not available.  
– For details about DVD-VR format and play list, refer to  
the manual of the recording equipment.  
• For JPEG files playback...  
– It is recommended that you 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 long time to be  
shown.)  
– This System can play only baseline JPEG files*.  
Progressive JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot  
be played.  
– When Random Play is activated.  
– While playing back or being paused with Program Play.

Additional Information  
Daily Operations—Sound&Other Adjustments  
(see pages 12 to 15)  
Learning More about This System  
Introduction (see pages 1 to 2)  
Playable Disc Types:  
• About audio format  
Creating Your Own Sound Modes—User Mode:  
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure  
occurs, the User Mode settings will be erased in a few days.  
If this happens, set the User Modes again.  
Creating 3-dimensional Sound Field—3D Phonic:  
• While you use the headphones, 3D Phonic is canceled  
temporary.  
• 3D Phonic is also applied to the optical digital output  
signals through the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT  
terminal.  
Changing the Color System and Scanning Mode:  
• If you play back an NTSC disc with the color system set to  
“PAL (PROG),” the disc will be reproduced using “PAL  
60” format, however, if the TV does not support this  
format, the screen may rolls over upward and downward  
rapidly.  
• If you play back a PAL disc with the color system set to  
“NTSC (PROG),” you can watch the playback pictures, but  
the following symptoms may occur:  
– The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and be shown  
slightly shifted when highlighted.  
– The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the  
original aspect ratio.  
– The picture movement is not smooth.  
• You cannot change the scanning mode to progressive in the  
following cases:  
– When your TV does not support the progressive video  
input.  
– When you have not connected your TV to the unit using  
a component video cord.  
• When you play back an NTSC disc in progressive scanning  
mode, the System outputs the NTSC signal regardless of  
the color system settings.  
Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, the same  
format used for CDs and most studio masters.  
Dolby Digital: Compressed digital audio, developed by  
Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel  
encode to create the realistic surround sound.  
DTS (Digital Theater Systems): Compressed digital  
audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which  
enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the  
compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it  
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.  
• If you use a DVD-RAM with a cartridge, take the disc out  
of the cartridge before inserting.  
Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 7 to 11)  
Listening to the Radio:  
• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number,  
the previously stored station in that number will be erased.  
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure  
occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If  
this happens, preset the stations again.  
Playing Back a Disc:  
• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual operations  
may be different from what is explained in this manual, due  
to the programming and disc structure; such differences are  
not a malfunction of this System.  
• Some DVD Audios prohibit downmix. When you play  
back such a disc, “LR ONLY” appears on the display and  
the System plays back the left front and right front signals.  
• When playing back a DVD Audio disc recorded in MLP  
(Meridian Lossless Packing; a lossless audio compression  
system that can completely recreate the PCM signal), the  
signals are recognized as the linear PCM signals, however,  
no indicator lights up on the display.  
Setting the Clock:  
• “0:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.  
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this  
happens, reset the clock.  
• For MP3/WMA playback...  
– MP3/WMA discs require a longer readout time than  
regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/  
file configuration.)  
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will  
be skipped. This results from their recording processes  
and conditions.
