Introduction  
• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended  
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall  
outlet.  
Precautions  
Installation  
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor  
too cold—between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).  
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to  
prevent internal heat buildup inside the System.  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and  
consult your dealer.  
How to Read This Manual  
To make in this manual as simple and easy-to-understand as  
possible, we have adapted the following methods:  
DO NOT install the System in a location  
near heat sources, or in a place subject to  
direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.  
Button and control operations are explained as listed in the  
table below. In this manual, the operations using the remote  
control is mainly explained; however, you can use the  
buttons and controls on the main unit if they have the same

Power sources  
Some related tips and notes are explained later in the  
sections “Learning More about This System” (on  
pages 37 to 38) and “Troubleshooting” (on page 40), but  
not in the same section explaining the operations. If you  
want to know more about the functions, or if you have a  
doubt about the functions, go to these sections and you will  
find the answers.  
• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always  
pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.  
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with  
wet hands.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in  
the following cases:  
Indicates that you press the button  
briefly  
.
• After starting to heat the room  
• In a damp room  
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm  
place.  
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,  
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture  
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.  
Indicates that you press the button  
briefly and repeatedly until an  
option you want is selected.  
Indicates that you press one of the  
buttons.  
Internal heat  
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat  
buildup inside the main unit (see page G-1).  
Indicates that you press and hold the  
button for a specified period.  
• The number inside the arrow  
indicates the period of press (in this  
example, 2 seconds).  
• If no number is inside the arrow,  
press and hold until the entire  
procedure is complete or until you  
get a result you want.  
For safety, observe the following carefully:  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around  
the main unit. Poor ventilation could  
overheat and damage the System.  
• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the  
ventilation openings or holes. If they are  
blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the  
heat may not be able to get out.  
2 sec.  
Indicates that you turn the control  
toward the specified direction(s).

the previously stored station in that number will be erased.  
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure  
occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If  
this happens, preset the stations again.  
Playing Back from the PC:  
Playing Back a Disc:  
• When using an 8 cm (3-3/16 inch) disc, place it on the inner  
circle of the disc tray.  
• Check if your PC equipped with the CD-ROM drive is  
R
R
R
running on Windows 98*, Windows 98SE*, Windows  
R
R
Me*, Windows 2000*, or Windows XP* and prepare its  
CD-ROM.  
• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual operations  
may be different from what is explained in this manual, due  
to the programming and disc structure; such differences are  
not malfunction of this System.  
• When discs* in more than one tray are loaded on the disc  
trays, they are played in sequence as follows. (When DVD  
Video, DVD Audio or SVCD/VCD with PBC is loaded in  
the System, playback of the disc next to these discs will not  
start.):  
• DO NOT turn off the System or disconnect the USB cable  
while installing the drivers and for a several seconds each  
time your PC is recognizing the System.  
• Use a full speed USB cable (version 1.1).  
• If your PC does not recognize the System, disconnect the  
USB cable and connect it again. If this does not work,  
restart Windows.  
• The drivers installed can be recognized only when the USB  
cable is connected between the System and your PC.  
• The sound may not be played back correctly—interrupted  
or degraded—due to your PC settings or PC specifications.  
Ex.: When DISC 2 is selected:  
DISC 2]DISC 3]DISC 4]DISC 5]DISC 1]  
(then stops)  
* When no disc is loaded on the disc tray, that disc number  
is skipped.  
• You can exchange discs while playing or selecting another  
disc.  
• Some DVD Audio discs prohibit downmixed output. When  
you play back such a disc, “LR ONLY” appears on the  
display and the System plays back the left front and right  
front signals.

Introduction  
• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended  
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall  
outlet.  
Precautions  
Installation  
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor  
too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.  
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and  
consult your dealer.  
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to  
prevent internal heat buildup inside the System.  
How to Read This Manual  
To make in this manual as simple and easy-to-understand as  
possible, we have adapted the following methods:  
DO NOT install the System in a location  
near heat sources, or in a place subject to  
direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.  
Button and control operations are explained as listed in the  
table below. In this manual, the operations using the remote  
control is mainly explained; however, you can use the  
buttons and controls on the main unit if they have the same

Power sources  
Some related tips and notes are explained later in the  
sections “Learning More about This System” (on  
pages 37 to 38) and “Troubleshooting” (on page 40), but  
not in the same section explaining the operations. If you  
want to know more about the functions, or if you have a  
doubt about the functions, go to these sections and you will  
find the answers.  
• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always  
pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.  
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with  
wet hands.  
Moisture condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in  
the following cases:  
Indicates that you press the button  
briefly  
.
• After starting to heat the room  
• In a damp room  
• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm  
place.  
Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,  
leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture  
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.  
Indicates that you press the button  
briefly and repeatedly until an  
option you want is selected.  
Indicates that you press one of the  
buttons.  
Internal heat  
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat  
buildup inside the main unit (see page G-1).  
Indicates that you press and hold the  
button for a specified period.  
• The number inside the arrow  
indicates the period of press (in this  
example, 2 seconds).  
• If no number is inside the arrow,  
press and hold until the entire  
procedure is complete or until you  
get a result you want.  
For safety, observe the following carefully:  
• Make sure there is good ventilation around  
the main unit. Poor ventilation could  
overheat and damage the System.  
• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the  
ventilation openings or holes. If they are  
blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the  
heat may not be able to get out.  
2 sec.  
Indicates that you turn the control  
toward the specified direction(s).

not malfunction of this System.  
• When discs* in more than one tray are loaded on the disc  
trays, they are played in sequence as follows. (When DVD  
Video, DVD Audio or SVCD/VCD with PBC is loaded in  
the System, playback of the disc next to these discs will not  
start.):  
• DO NOT turn off the System or disconnect the USB cable  
while installing the drivers and for a several seconds each  
time your PC is recognizing the System.  
• Use a full speed USB cable (version 1.1).  
• If your PC does not recognize the System, disconnect the  
USB cable and connect it again. If this does not work,  
restart Windows.  
• The drivers installed can be recognized only when the USB  
cable is connected between the System and your PC.  
• The sound may not be played back correctly—interrupted  
or degraded—due to your PC settings or PC specifications.  
Ex.: When DISC 2 is selected:  
DISC 2]DISC 3]DISC 4]DISC 5]DISC 1]  
(then stops)  
* When no disc is loaded on the disc tray, that disc number  
is skipped.  
• You can exchange discs while playing or selecting another  
disc.  
• Some DVD Audio discs prohibit downmixed output. When  
you play back such a disc, “LR ONLY” appears on the  
display and the System plays back the left front and right  
front signals.

• “AM 12:00” will flash on the display until you set the  
– Some MP3/JPEG files cannot be played back and will be  
skipped. This result from their recording processes and  
conditions.  
– When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level  
2 for the disc format.  
– This System can play back MP3/JPEG files with the  
extension code <.mp3> or <.jpg> (regardless of the letter  
case—upper/lower).  
– It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a  
sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.

Programming the Playing Order—Program Play:  
• If you try to program the 100th track, “MEM FULL  
(memory full)” appears on the display.  
Timer Operations (see pages 30 and 31)  
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure  
occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the  
clock first, then the timer again.  
• If you set the Sleep Timer after a Daily Timer starts playing  
the selected source, the Daily Timer is canceled.  
• While programming steps...  
Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an  
item number that does not exist on the disc (for example,  
selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks).

Playing at Random—Random Play:  
• The 4 button does not work for skipping chapters or  
tracks, but only work for going back to the beginning of the  
current chapter or track.  
PICTURE Setup Menu—MONITOR TYPE:  
• Even if “4:3 PS” is selected, the screen size may become  
4:3 letter box with some DVD Video discs. This depends  
on how the discs are recorded.  
• When you select “16:9” for a picture whose aspect ratio is  
4:3, the picture slightly changes due to the process for  
converting the picture width.  
On-Screen Disc Operations (see pages 25 to 29)  
• For JPEG files playback...  
– It is recommended that you record a file at 640 x 480  
resolution. (If a file has been recorded at a resolution of

shown.)  
– This System can play only baseline JPEG files.  
Progressive JPEG files or lossless JPEG files cannot be  
played.  
AUDIO Setup Menu—DOWN MIX:  
• This setting is not effective when DTS multi-channel  
software is played back.  
OTHERS Setup Menu—ON SCREEN GUIDE:  
Setup Menus and on-screen bar will be displayed (and
