Installation  
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to  
prevent internal heat build-up in the System.  
DO NOT install the System in a location near  
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct  
sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.  
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor  
too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.  
• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.  
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference  
with the TV.  
Power sources  
• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always  
pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.  
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with  
wet hands.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense in the lenses on the System in the  
following cases:  
• After starting to heat the room  
• In a damp room  
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm  
place.  
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,  
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture  
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.  
Internal heat  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the System.  
Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the System.  
–A cooling fan is inside the System to prevent heat build-  
up.  
DO NOT block the ventilation openings or  
holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or  
cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.  
Others  
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System,  
unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before  
operating any further.  
DO NOT disassemble the System since there  
are no user serviceable parts inside.  
• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended  
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall  
outlet.  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and  
consult your dealer.

Additional Information  
– You can play back the following types of files in a USB  
mass storage class device (maximum data transfer rate: 2  
Mbps):  
– Audio: MP3, WMA, WAV  
– Still picture: JPEG  
Learning More about This System  
Connections (see pages 3 to 6)  
Changing the Color System and Scanning Mode:  
• If you play back an NTSC disc/file with the color system  
set to “PAL (PROG),” the disc/file will be reproduced  
using “PAL 60” format; however, if the TV does not  
support this format, the screen may not display properly.  
• If you play back a PAL disc/file with the color system set  
to “NTSC (PROG),” you can watch the playback pictures,  
but the following symptoms may occur:  
– Video: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, ASF, DivX (maximum  
frame rate of 30 fps for progressive)  
– This System may not play back some files even though  
their formats are listed above.  
– You cannot play back a file larger than 2 Gigabyte.  
– When playing a file which has a high transfer rate,  
frames or sounds may be dropped during playback.  
– This System cannot recognize a USB mass storage class  
device whose rating is other than 5 V and does not  
exceed 500 mA.  
– This System may not play back some USB mass storage  
class device and does not support DRM (Digital Rights  
Management).  
– The items on the menu will be blurred, and be shown  
slightly shifted when highlighted.

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/file in progressive  
scanning mode either NTSC PROG or PAL PROG, the  
System outputs the NTSC signal regardless of the color  
system settings.  
– It will take some time to start up a Digital Audio Player  
(DAP) larger than 1 Gigabyte.  
– You cannot send any data to your USB mass storage  
class device from this System.  
• For MP3/WMA/WAV playback...  
– MP3/WMA/WAV discs require a longer readout time  
than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the  
group/file configuration.)  
– Some MP3/WMA/WAV files cannot be played back and  
will be skipped. This results from their recording  
processes and conditions.  
Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 8 to 12)  
Listening to the Radio:  
– When making MP3/WMA/WAV discs, use ISO 9660  
Level 1 or Level 2 for the disc format.

On-Screen Operations (see pages 23 to 28)  
About SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)  
The System uses the Serial Copy Management System  
which allows only first-generation digital copies to be  
made of premastered software such as regular CDs.  
If you try to record from a duplicated CD-R or CD-RW  
into the USB device, “SCMS ERROR” appears on the  
display.
