About discs
■■
Examples of playable DVD discs:
Playable disc types
Playable and non-playable disc types are as follows:
Playable discs
Disc structure
A DVD disc is comprised of “titles”, while an Audio CD, Video
CD or SVCD is comprised of “tracks”. Each title may be divided
into some “chapters”. For example, if a DVD disc contains some
movies, each movie may have its own title number, and each mov-
ie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD karaoke disc, each
song usually has its own title number and does not have chapters.
In general, each title has independent content, while each chapter
in the same title has continuity.
The DVD Logo is a trademark.
Non-playable discs
• DVD-ROM • DVD-RAM • DVD-R
Example: DVD disc
• DVD-RW
• CD-R* • CD-ROM • PHOTO CD • CD-RW*
* Audio formatted CD-R and CD-RW can be played.
• Playing back discs list as “Non-playable discs” above may gen-
erate noise and damage speakers.
• Only audio can be played for CD-G, CD-EXTRA and CD
TEXT.
Example: Audio CD/Video CD/SVCD
Notes on DVD discs
• DVD players and DVD discs have their own Region Code
numbers. This unit only can play back DVD discs whose
Region Code numbers include “4”.
Video CDs/SVCDs with Playback Control function
What is Playback Control function?
The Playback Control function, allows you to enjoy menu-driven operation and high-resolution still images which have a resolution four
times greater than moving pictures.
• Menu-driven playback
You can interact with the screen using a menu display to select and play an entry.
• High-resolution still image display
You can display high-quality images four times clearer than moving pictures.
A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a Video CD or SVCD with the Playback Control feature. The selection menu shows
a list of numbers for selection. Some discs may show moving pictures or a divided screen.
1. When a list of numbers is displayed, selecting a number shows its contents.
2. When “3” or “SELECT” is displayed on the television screen, pressing this button jumps to the specific picture.
3. When the selection menu is re-displayed after you have played your selection, selecting a number again replays its contents.
(Some discs may show the menu screen several times.)
When ¢and 4are shown, pressing “NEXT” or “PREV” can change the selection menu.
4. After playback, press RETURN to go back to the previous screen.
To stop playback, press STOP.
Note:
• When a menu is displayed for a long time (about ten minutes), the screen background automatically gets dark to prevent
screen burn-in while the setting is suspended.

Notes:
Setting the VOLTAGE SELECTOR
• The preset settings such as preset channel and sound ad-
justment may be erased in a few days in the following cas-
es:
To avoid damaging the powered sub-woofer, set the VOLTAGE
SELECTOR on the rear panel to the correct voltage for your area.
– When you unplug the power cord.
– When a power failure occurs.
• The speakers will not produce any sound if the powered
sub-woofer power cord is removed from the AC outlet
while the center unit is turned on.
In this case power will not come on even when the pow-
ered sub-woofer power cord is plugged in the AC outlet.
Press
on the center unit, or AUDIO
on the re-
mote control to turn power on. This will turn the powered
sub-woofer on and sound will be emitted from the speak-
ers.
CAUTION:
Do not plug in the power cord of the powered sub-
woofer before setting the VOLTAGE SELECTOR to the
correct voltage.
Putting batteries in the remote con-
trol
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the center unit.

Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
The red STANDBY lamp on the center unit lights when the power
cord is plugged in.
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the an-
tenna cable. The power cord may cause noise or screen interfer-
ence.
We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the FM out-
door antenna, since it is well-shielded against interference.

Optimized for all discs playable on this sys-

Select this mode when playing a DVD disc
recorded in DTS Surround.
The DTS decoder will be selected as the in-
ternal decoder.
When to try changing the decode mode
With Dolby digital (Lt/Rt*)
When the decode mode is set to the default AUTO/PCM setting
and a DVD recorded in Dolby Digital Surround or DTS Digital
Surround is played, the internal decoder will be automatically se-
lected before audio playback begins. Depending on the disc re-
corded in DTS Digital Surround, this may result in a brief loss of
audio after playback starts. This is due to lost audio signals that
were inputted during internal decoder selection.
With stereo sound (e.g. Audio CD)
In these instances, lost audio can be prevented by manually select-
ing “DTS” beforehand.
However, please note that when the decode mode is set
to DTS, you will be unable to playback audio from discs
recorded in a mode other than the DTS Digital Surround.
After changing the decode mode and playing back a disc, return
the decode mode to “AUTO/PCM”.
* Lt/Rt refers to the downmix output when connected
to a device that uses Dolby Pro Logic.
Note:
Note:
• Changing the playback source (e.g. AM/FM) will automat-
ically return the decode mode to “AUTO/PCM”.
• The audio channel indicator does not show the actual
speaker channel that is producing sound.
When a decode mode which differs from the type
of disc being played is selected
Insert a DVD disc in the center unit to display the type of audio be-
ing played in the Decode mode indicator on the display window.
Audio cannot be played if a decode mode which differs from the
displayed mode is selected.
The selected decode mode flashes to indicate that the selected de-
code mode does not allow audio playback.
Example: When DTS is selected as the decode mode for Dolby
digital audio.

The sound heard in a concert hall or club consists of direct sound
and indirect sound — early reflections and reflections from be-
hind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflec-
tion. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the
distances of the ceiling and walls. These direct sounds and indirect
sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround
effects. The DAP mode can create these important elements, and
gives you a real “being there” feeling.

Care and handling of discs
■■
How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc.
Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged.
If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the image sand sound will not be
picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the player to malfunction.
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do
not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid
leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth,
moving from the center outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water.
Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.
Cleaning the lens
If the lens in the laser pickup is dirty, video image irregularities, sound dropout, etc., could occur.
Open the disc cover and clean the lens as shown below:
• Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow dust off the lens.
Blower
Lens
• If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe clean with a cotton swab.
Cotton swab
CAUTIONS:
• Do not use irregular shape discs (heat-shape, octagonal, etc.). Using these discs can damage the center unit.
• Sometimes during playback, noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up
to industry standards.)
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the center unit.
