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!

7 Safety precautions  
About this manual  
This manual mainly explains operations using the buttons and  
controls on the remote control. You can also use the buttons  
on the center unit if they have the same or similar names (or  
marks) as those on the remote control.  
If operation using the remote control is different from that  
using the center unit, then it is explained.  
• Times given for various operations are for reference only.  
Actual time will vary somewhat.  
Avoid moisture, water and dust  
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.

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.

DIGITAL AUDIO  
This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc  
and calls files and folders as “tracks” and “groups.”

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.

• 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  
99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 tracks).  
• If there is any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder,  
those files are also counted in the total number of 150.  
Group 1  
Track 1 Track 2  
Group 2  
Group 3  
Group 4  
Group 5  
NOTE:  
While operating a VCD or SVCD using the menu, some of the  
functions, such as repeat play, may not work.  
On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file. Files  
are usually grouped into a group (folder). Groups can also  
include another groups, creating hierarchical folder layers.  
This system can recognize up to 150 files per group, and up to 99  
groups per disc (up to 14,850 files).  
IMPORTANT:  
• If there is any type of files other than JPEG files in a folder, those  
files are also counted in the total number of 150.  
Before playing a disc, make sure of the following....  
• Check the connection with the TV.  
Group 2  
Group 4  
Group 1  
File 1 File 2  
• Turn on the TV and select the correct input mode on the TV  
to view the pictures or on-screen information on the TV  
screen.  
Group 3  
Group 5  
If  
appears on the TV screen when pressing a  
button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have  
tried to do, or information required for that operation is  
not recorded on the disc.  
NOTICE: In some cases, without showing  
,
operations will not be accepted.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R6S (SUM-3)/AA (15F) type dry-  
cell batteries.  
CAUTION:  
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking batteries:  
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).  
• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage.  
• Always replace both batteries at the same time.  
• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.  
Operating the system using the remote control  
Aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the center unit. The effective distance between the remote control and  
the remote sensor on the center unit is about 7 m.  
• You can also operate other components using the remote control.  
– To operate your TV, see page 16.  
– To operate your VCR, see page 64.  
To control other components, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on each target component.

NOTES:  
How the Enhanced Other Networks function  
actually works:  
• If you change the source to play, Enhanced Other Networks  
standby mode is canceled temporarily.  
If you change the source to FM again, the system returns to  
Enhanced Other Networks standby mode.  
• Enhanced Other Networks data sent from some stations may not  
be compatible with this system.  
• The Enhanced Other Networks function does not work for some FM  
stations with RDS service.  
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other  
Networks function, the station does not change even if another  
network station starts broadcasting a program of the same  
Enhanced Other Networks data.  
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other  
Networks function, you can only use TA/NEWS/INFO and RDS  
DISPLAY as the tuner operation buttons.  
CASE 1  
If there is no station broadcasting the program you  
have selected  
The system continues tuning in to the current station.  
«
When a station starts broadcasting the program you have  
selected, the system automatically switches to the station.  
The received PTY code indicator starts flashing.  
«
When the program is over, the system goes back to the  
previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other  
Networks function still remains activated.  
CASE 2  
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting  
the program you have selected  
The system continues to receive the station but the  
received PTY code indicator starts flashing.  
«
When the program is over, the received PTY code  
indicator stops flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced  
Other Networks function still remains activated.  
To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced  
Other Networks.  
Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the program  
type (TA/NEWS/INFO) indicator goes off from the display.  
The system exits from Enhanced Other Networks standby  
mode and goes back to the previously selected station.  
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.  
• When Dolby Digital EX is activated, the

channel is counted as 0.1 channel, therefore, called 5.1-

Since each channel is completely independent from the other

Matrix-based conversion method for Dolby Pro Logic II  
makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround

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

PRO LOGIC II  
DTS Digital Surround**  
Used to reproduce multi-channel soundtracks of the software  
encoded with DTS Digital Surround ( ).  
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)*  
Used to reproduce soundtracks of the software encoded  
DOLBY SURROUND  
with Dolby Surround (  
).  
Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front  
channel, right front channel, center channel, and surround  
channel signal (total 4 channels) into 2 channels.  
The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this system decodes  
these 2-channel signals into original 4-channel signals—  
matrix-based multi-channel reproduction, and allows you to  
enjoy a realistic surround sound in your listening room.  
• When DTS Digital Surround is activated, the  
SURROUND indicators light up on the display.  
and  
NEO:6**  
• When Dolby Pro Logic is activated, the  
PRO LOGIC  
Neo:6 is a newly developed conversion method to create  
6-channel (plus subwoofer) from analog/digital 2-channel  
source and DTS Digital Surround source.

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.

You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a  
more acoustic sound field in your listening room.

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.
