SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be
taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are
properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing
connections.
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way–switch off, withdraw
the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed covers as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has
a standby mode.
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch
television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved
stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case—this could result in a fatal
electrical shock.
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

About discs
• On some DVD,VCD, or SVCD discs, the actual
operations may be different from what is explained in
this manual.This is due to the disc programming and
disc structure, and this is not a malfunction of this
system.
Playable disc types
This system has been designed to play back the following
types of discs:
DVD Video (DVD), Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD
(SVCD), Audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW
• Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
–User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs
(Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already
“finalized.”
–The system can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on
a personal computer if they have been recorded in the
Audio CD format.
The system can also play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3
tracks (files) or JPEG files are recorded on them.
Note that the configuration and characteristics of an MP3
disc or a JPEG disc is determined by the writing
(encoding) software and hardware used for recording.
Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the
following symptoms may occur:
• This system can also play back MP3 and JPEG files
recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs. For in-depth information
about MP3, see “MP3 disc playback” on page 50, and for
JPEG, see “JPEG disc playback” on page 52.
• Finalized DVD-R discs recorded with the DVD VIDEO
format can be played back. However, some discs may not
be played back because of the disc characteristics or
recording conditions.
Discs you can play:
Disc
Type
Mark
(Logo)
Video
Format
Region Code
Number*
• Some discs may not be played back at all.
• Some tracks (files) on an MP3 disc are skipped and
may not be played back normally.
• Some files on a JPEG disc may be distorted during
playback.
–Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their
instructions or cautions carefully.
–CD-RWs may require a longer read-out time. This is
caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is
lower than for regular CDs.

7 About MP3 discs
Super Video CD
(SVCD)
This system can play MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or
CD-RW. We call such a disc “MP3 disc” in this manual.
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or
MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a
data compression. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-
RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular
CD can.
COMPACT
Audio CD
CD-R
——
——
——
——
DIGITAL AUDIO
This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc
and calls files and folders as “tracks” and “groups.”
7 About JPEG discs
CD-RW
——
——
This system can play JPEG files such as digital photographs
recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW. We call such a disc “JPEG
disc” in this manual.
JPEG is a still-picture data compression system proposed by
Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small
decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression
ratio.
This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc
and calls folders as “groups.”
* Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code
numbers. This system can play back only DVDs recorded
in the PAL color system whose Region Code numbers
include “2.”
Ex.:
3
5
2
4
2
2 5
If a DVD with the improper Region Code numbers is
loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR” appears on the display
and playback cannot start.
• The following disc types cannot be played back:
DVD Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW,
CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage
the speakers.

About discs
Disc structure
A DVD disc consists of “titles,” and 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 it may be further
divided into chapters.
Playback Control function (PBC)
—Only for VCD and SVCD
The Playback Control function allows you to enjoy menu-
driven operation and high-resolution still images with a
resolution four times greater than moving pictures.
• High-resolution still image display
You can display high-quality images which are four times
clearer than moving pictures.
Title 1
Title 2
Chapter 2
Chapter 1
Chapter 3
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
• Menu-driven playback
A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a
VCD or SVCD disc with the Playback Control function. The
selection menu shows a list of numbers to pick from. Some
discs may show moving pictures or a divided screen.
You can interact with the screen using a menu display to
select and play an entry.
A VCD, SVCD, and Audio CD consist of “tracks.”
In general, each track has its own track number. (On some
discs, each track may also be divided with Indexes.)
The illustration below shows the basic features of menu
driven playback. See page 39 for details about using the
menu.
Track 1
Track 4
Track 5
Track 2
Track 3
On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a track (file).
Tracks are usually grouped into a group (folder). Groups can
also include other groups, creating hierarchical group layers.
This system can recognize up to 150 tracks per group, and up to

When an emergency broadcast (Alarm ! signal) is sent
from an FM station.
The system automatically tunes in to the station except in the
following cases:
• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM—MW
stations, some FM stations and other sources).
• When the system is in standby mode.
While receiving an emergency broadcast, “Alarm !” appears
on the display.
The TEST signal is used for equipment test—whether it
can receive the Alarm ! signal correctly.
The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as
the Alarm ! signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the
system automatically switches to the station broadcasting the
TEST signal.
While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the
display.

the software encoded with Dolby Digital EX (
).
Dolby Digital EX is a newly introduced surround encoding
format as an extension of multi-channel Dolby Digital,
designed to add an extra surround channel to Dolby Digital
5.1-channel (see below). By using a matrix encoding/
decoding method, additional “surround back” channel signal
is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround
channel signals.
With these many speakers, sound localization and sound
movement can be expressed.
Surround modes built in this system can create almost the
same surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie
theater.
Movie Theater
Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1-channel, this
newly added surround back channel can reproduce more
detailed movements behind you while viewing the video
software. In addition, surround sound localization will become
more stable, so that you can enjoy a realistic surround field in
your listening room.

Dolby Digital 5.1-channel encoding method (so-called

digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel,
center channel, left surround channel, right surround
channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but LFE
channel is counted as 0.1 channel, therefore, called 5.1-
channel).
Since each channel is completely independent from the other
channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain a much
better sound quality with better stereo and surround effects.

Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multi-channel
playback format to convert all 2-channel source including
Dolby Surround into 5-channel (plus subwoofer)
reproduction.
Matrix-based conversion method for Dolby Pro Logic II
makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround
treble and enables stereo surround sound unavailable with
conventional Dolby Pro Logic.
Dolby Pro Logic II can reproduce spacious sound from
original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal
colorations.
Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music
mode.
DTS-ES (Extended Surround)**
Used to reproduce multi-channel movie soundtracks of the
software encoded with DTS-ES (

DTS-ES is another new digital surround encoding format,
developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., that adds the
third surround channel—surround back channel. (See “Dolby
Digital EX” on page 31)
DTS ES has two types—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1-channel and
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1-channel.
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1-channel—has been designed to
encode (and decode) 6.1-channel signal discretely to avoid
interference between each channel.
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1-channel—has been designed to add an
extra surround channel to DTS Digital Surround 5.1-channel.
By using a matrix encoding/decoding method, additional
“surround back” channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in
both the left and right surround channel signals.

DTS Digital Surround is a discrete 5.1-channel digital audio
format available on CD, LD, and DVD software.
Compared to Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround format has
a lower audio compression ratio which enables it to add
breadth and depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS
Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.
Dolby Pro Logic (Dolby Surround)*

All Channel Stereo
DSP modes
DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes
All Channel Stereo (ALL CH ST.) can reproduce a larger
stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated)
speakers.
The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. consists of
direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and
reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener
directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect
sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls
(see the diagram below). These direct and indirect sounds
are the most important elements of the acoustic surround
effects.
All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and surround
speakers are connected to the center unit.
• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator
lights up on the display.
The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound field by
adding these indirect sounds.
• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator
lights up on the display.

Maintenance
To get the best performance of the system, keep your discs and mechanism clean.
General Notes
Cleaning the system
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your discs, and the mechanism clean.
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
• Stains on the system
Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily
stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral
detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
• Since the system may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the
following.
Handling Discs
— DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
— DO NOT wipe it strong.
• Remove the disc from its case
by holding it at the edge while
pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface
of the disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case
after use to prevent warping.
— DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
— DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as
insecticides to it.
— DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact
with it for a long time.
• Be careful not to scratch the
surface of the disc when
placing it back in its case.
• Avoid exposure to direct
sunlight, temperature
extremes, and moisture.
To clean the disc
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in
a straight line from center to
edge.
DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional
record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to clean
the disc.

Glossary
Aspect ratio
Multi-language
DVD can have multiple subtitle (up to 32) and audio (up to 8)
languages.
The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed
image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is
4:3, and that of wide-screen TVs is 16:9.
Parental lock
A feature of this system to automatically determine whether or
not to reproduce particular DVD software by comparing its
parental level (a measure of undesirability of scenes, etc.
from educational viewpoint) set for the software beforehand
with that set on this system by the user; if the software’s level
is less restrictive than the user-set level, it will be reproduced.
Chapter
See “Titles and chapters.”
Composite video signal
Refers to video signal comprised of three kinds of signals
combined: an image signal made up of luminance and
chrominance signals using the frequency multiplication
technique; burst signal providing the basis for color
reproduction; and synchronization signal.
Playback control (PBC)
Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for
controlling reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on
a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy
interactive-type software as well as software having a search
function.
Disc menu
A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images,
sounds, subtitles, multiangles, etc. recorded on a DVD.
Region code
A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the
regions designated beforehand. All the countries in the world
are divided into six regions, each region being identified by a
specified region code (or region number). If the region code
given to a disc includes a numeral which matches one in the
region code of a player, the player can play back the disc.
JPEG
A still-picture data compression system proposed by the
Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features little
deterioration in image quality in spite of its high compression
ratio.
Letter box
Sampling frequency
A method of displaying wide images like movies on a 4:3 TV
screen with no part of the image deleted, by placing black
bands on the top and bottom of the screen. This name has
derived from the screen form looking literally like a letter box.
Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted
to digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents
how many times the original analog signal is sampled per
second.
Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)
A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal
for later processing, with no data compression used in
conversion.
Surround
A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of
realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.
S-video signal
MP3
Video signal separated into a Y (luminance) signal and a C
(chrominance) signal. This separation of the video results
higher resolution and better quality.
A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is
the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1
(or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R
or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data volume
as a regular CD can.
Titles and chapters
A DVD is divided into several titles (large divisions), and each
title is divided into chapters (small divisions).
These divisions are assigned their particular numbers, so that
they are easily accessed.
Multi-angle
By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in
a single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is
called the multi angle function.
Transfer rate
The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in
baud per second. The DVD system applies a variable
transfer rate system for high efficiency.
Multi-channel
Software having 3 or more channels. Most DVD have more
than 5 audio channels. Reproducing such software using
multiple speakers creates a realistic sound field like a theater.
