About discs  
Playable disc types  
Disc structure  
Playable and non-playable disc types are as follows:  
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, each movie may have its own title number, and each  
movie 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.

in “Analog connections” (see below) or in “Digital connections”  
(see page 9).  
IMPORTANT  
This system is equipped with both the composite video and S-video  
input/output terminals for connecting video components.  
You do not have to connect both the composite video and S-video  
terminals.  
However, remember that the video signals from the composite video  
input terminals are output only through the composite video out  
terminals, while the ones from the S-video input terminals are  
output only through the S-video output terminals.

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:  
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:  
(+) 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.  
Notes:  
• The preset settings such as preset channel and sound adjustment  
may be erased in a few days in the following cases:  
- 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 powered sub-  
woofer power cord is plugged in the AC outlet.

When to try changing the decode mode  
When the decode mode is set to the default AUTO/PCM setting and  
a DVD recorded in Dolby Digital Surround, DTS Digital Surround,  
or MPEG Multichannel Surround is played, the internal decoder will  
be automatically selected before audio playback begins. Depending  
on the disc, 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.  
In these instances, lost audio can be prevented by manually selecting  
the decode mode appropriate for the disc you wish to play.  
However, please note that when the decode mode is set to other  
than AUTO/PCM, you will be unable to playback audio from discs  
recorded in a mode other than the set mode.  
When other than [AUTO/PCM] is selected  
When “DOLBY DGTL”, “DTS”, or “MPEG” is selected the source  
name changes to digital (“MD” = “MD DIGITAL”) and audio is  
not played.  
The decode mode indicator “DOLBY DGTL”, “DTS”, or “MPEG”  
in the display window flashes to indicate that the correct mode has  
not been selected.  
Example: Selecting “DOLBY DGTL” when listening to MD

DAP modes —————————————————  
The sound heard in a concert hall or club 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. 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 imagesand sound will not be  
picked up correctly, and such a discmay 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 placewhere 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.  
CAUTION:  
Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up toindustry standards.)  
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the center unit.
