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 plugs 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 a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it may

damage the system.

This system can play finalized discs only.

Recorded with UDF Bridge format.

This system may not be able to play back a file if the file size is

too large.

• It is possible to play back finalized +R/+RW (DVD Video Format

only) discs. “DVD” lights on the display panel when a +R/+RW

disc is loaded.

• This system accommodates the NTSC and PAL system. When

you play an NTSC disc with the scan mode set to PAL (see page

20), the NTSC video signal is converted to the PAL60 signal and

output.

• 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, 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.

• This system can only play baseline JPEG 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;

groups per disc/device, and the total number of the tracks (files)

that the system can play is 4000.

• MP3/WMA/JPEG/ASF/MPEG-2/MPEG-1/DivX files require a

longer readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the

directory/file configuration.)

• If different kinds of files are mixed, 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 38.)

For MPEG-2/MPEG-1 files

352 x 288 pixels (25 fps) and 352 x 480/480 x 480/352 x 240 pixels

(30 fps).

• The file format should be MP@ML (Main Profile at Main Level)/

SP@ML (Simple Profile at Main Level)/MP@LL (Main Profile at

Low Level).

• Audio streams should conform to MPEG1 Audio Layer-2 or

MPEG2 Audio Layer-2.

For MP3/WMA files

(See page 30.)

For DivX files

• The system supports DivX 6.x, 5.x, 4.x and 3.11.

• The system supports DivX files whose resolution is 720 x 480

pixels or less (30 fps), and 720 x 576 pixels or less (25 fps).

• Audio stream should conform to Dolby Digital (including multi

channel) or MPEG1 Audio Layer-3 (MP3).

Precautions for daily use

CAUTION

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

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

• Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that the sound is

distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by internal

heat buildup.

• If you connect speakers other than the supplied ones, use speakers of

the same speaker impedance (SPEAKER IMPEDANCE) indicated

near the speaker terminals on the rear of the powered subwoofer.

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

• When installing the surround speakers on the wall;

• 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.

– Be sure to have them installed on the wall by qualified personnel.

DO NOT install the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to

avoid unexpected damage from falling off the wall due to incorrect

installation or weakness in wall structure.

– 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.

Speaker layout

To obtain the best possible sound from this system, you need to

place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the same distance

from the listening position.

Connecting a TV

• You can get better picture quality in the order — Component

video > S-video > Composite video.

• Distortion of picture may occur when connecting to the TV via a

VCR, or to a TV with a built-in VCR.

• You need to set “MONITOR TYPE” in the PICTURE menu

correctly according to the aspect ratio of your TV. (See page 38.)

NOTE

• 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 or USB MEMORY as the source to play. (See page 19.)

NOTE

• 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.

– 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.

Composite video cord (supplied)

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 are not magnetically shielded.

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

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

nearby the TV or monitor.
