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.   Label sticker   Supplied accessories   Check to be sure you have all of the supplied accessories.   The number in parentheses is the quantity of the pieces supplied.   If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.   Sticker   Paste   • Remote control (1)   • Batteries (2)   • FM antenna (1)   • AM loop antenna (1)   Note about copyright laws   Check the copyright laws in your country before recording from the   discs. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright   laws.   Note about copyguard system   The discs are protected by copyguard system. When you connect   the system to your VCR directly, the copyguard system activates   and the picture may not be played back correctly.   2 Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   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, DVD AUDIO, 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, WMA, JPEG and MPEG4 files   recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs.   Files are sometimes grouped into folders on CD-Rs or CD-RWs by   genre, album, etc.   DVD AUDIO   In this manual, “group” is also referred to as “folder”, and “track”   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.   VCD   CD-RW   SVCD   • The following discs cannot be played back:   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, DVD AUDIOs, 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.   DVD Logo is a trademark of DVD Format/Logo Licensing   Corporation.   3 Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   About discs   Notes on CD-R and CD-RW   Notes on MP3/WMA 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/WMA files recorded at 32   kbps to 320 kbps as a bit rate, and at 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, (24 kHz   for MP3 only) 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 for   MP3 files or 96 kbps for WMA files.   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/WMA/   JPEG/MPEG4 files are recorded on them.   Notes on MPEG4 files   • The system can play back the MPEG4 files followed the   conditions below:   File format: ASF   Visual profile: MPEG4 SP (Simple Profile)   Audio CODEC: G.726   Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3/   WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 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:   Max. picture size: 352 x 288 (CIF)   Max. bit rate: 384 kbps   • Some tracks/files on an MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 disc may   be skipped or may not be played normally.   • Some files on a JPEG/MPEG4 disc may be played distortedly.   Notes on MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs   • MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 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”   WMA: “.WMA”, “.wma”   JPEG: “.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”   MPEG4: “.ASF”, “.asf”   • 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”, “STILL PICTURE”, or   “VIDEO”).

(See page 14.)   • Although the satellite speakers and the subwoofer are magnetically   shielded, the TV screen may appear mottled. In this case, keep   enough distance between the speakers and the TV.   • 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.   7 To connect a TV with the SCART connector   Center unit   TV   To SCART   connector*   SCART cable (not supplied)   * Some TV’s SCART connectors output audio signal.
