Introduction
7 Safety precautions
Notes on handling
7 Important cautions
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.
Installation of the system
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold;
between 5°C and 35°C.
When you are away
When away on travel or for other reasons for an extended period of
time, disconnect the power cord plug 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.
• 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 fire or electrical
shock.
• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it
may damage the system.

About discs
Region code of DVD VIDEO
DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own
Region Code numbers. This system can play back DVD VIDEO
discs whose Region Code numbers include the system’s Region
Code, which is indicated on the rear panel.
Playable disc types
This system has been designed to play back the following discs:
DVD VIDEO, Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD (SVCD), Audio
CD (CD), CD-R and CD-RW.
Example of playable DVD:
• This system accommodates the PAL system, and also can play
discs recorded with NTSC system. Note that an NTSC video
signal on a disc is converted to the PAL60 signal and output.
• This system can also play finalized DVD-R/-RWs recorded in
DVD VIDEO format. However, some discs may not be played
because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.
If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,
“REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and
playback cannot start.
Discs you can play:
DVD VIDEO
Audio CD
CD-R
About files (tracks) and folders (groups) on the disc
This system can also play MP3 and JPEG files recorded on CD-Rs
and CD-RWs.
Files are sometimes grouped into folders on CD-Rs or CD-RWs by
genre, album, etc.
In this manual, “group” is also referred to as “folder”, and “track”
VCD
as “file”.
• This system recognizes up to 150 files per group, and 99 groups
per disc.
The total number of files this system can detect on a disc is up to
1000.
SVCD
CD-RW
• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD AUDIO, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I
Ready), Photo CD, SACD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
• On some DVD VIDEOs, 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.

About discs
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
Notes on MP3 files
• User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can
be played back only if they are already “finalized”.
• When making your own disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2
for the disc format.
• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20 sessions).
• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.
• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or
cautions carefully.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by
the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of
regular CDs.
• Some discs may not be played due to their disc characteristics,
recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.
• This system can play CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in the audio
CD format.
• Tag information (album name, artist name, and track name) can
be shown on the TV. (See page 24.)
• The system can play back the MP3 files recorded at 32 kbps to
320 kbps as a bit rate, and at 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 32 kHz,
44.1 kHz, 48 kHz as a sampling frequency.
• We recommend to record each piece of material (song) at a
sample rate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of 128 kbps.
Notes on JPEG files
• We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a file
has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480, it will
take a longer time to be displayed.)
• This system can only play baseline JPEG files.
This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3 or JPEG
files are recorded on them.
Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3/JPEG
disc are determined by the writing (encoding) software and
hardware used for recording. Therefore, due to the software and
hardware used, the following symptoms may occur:
•
Some tracks/files on an MP3/JPEG disc may be skipped or may
not be played normally.
•
Some files on a JPEG disc may be played distortedly.
Notes on MP3/JPEG discs
• MP3/JPEG discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer
readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of the directory/file
configuration.)
• The system can only recognize files with one of the following
extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower
case:
MP3:
“.MP3”, “.mp3”
JPEG: “.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”
• If different kinds of the file are mixed on a disc, set the FILE
TYPE setting in the PICTURE menu to the appropriate setting
for the data to be read (“AUDIO” or “STILL PICTURE”). (See
page 32.)

• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on
TVs. However, if not installed properly, it 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.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed
the above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.
• Be sure to place the subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you place the
subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance between them to
prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.

Tuner operations
The TEST signal is used for equipment test — whether it
can receive the Alarm signal correctly
Switching to broadcast program of your
choice temporarily
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
window.
Another convenient RDS service is called “Enhanced Other
Network”.
This allows the system to switch temporarily to a broadcast
program of your choice (TA, NEWS, and/or INFO) from a different
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.

works

NOTE
• In Enhanced Other Network standby mode, if you change the source
to play, Enhanced Other Network standby mode is canceled
temporarily.
If you change the source to FM again, the system returns to
Enhanced Other Network standby mode.
TA:
Traffic Announcement in your area.
NEWS: News.
INFO: Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in the
widest sense.
• Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may not be
compatible with this system.
• Enhanced Other Network does not function for some FM stations
with RDS service.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network
function, the station does not change even if another network station
starts broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced Other Network
data.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network
function, you can only use TA/NEWS/INFO and RDS DISPLAY as
the tuner operation buttons.
To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced
Other Network
Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the program type
indicator (TA/NEWS/INFO) goes off from the display window. The
system exits from Enhanced Other Network standby mode and goes
back to the previously selected station.

from an FM station
The system automatically tunes in to the station and “Alarm !”
appears on the display window while the system receiving the
emergency broadcast.
