on the disc, chapters may not be recorded.  
In addition, this unit can play a DVD-R/±RW, SVCD and

Notes  
Track (Video CD and Audio CD only)  
– Depending on the conditions of the recording equip-  
ment or the CD-R/R (or DVD-R, DVD±RW) disc itself,  
some CD-R/R (or DVD-R, DVD±RW) discs cannot be  
played on the unit.  
Sections of a picture or a musical piece on a video CD  
or an audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number,  
enabling you to locate the track you want.  
– Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the  
labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.  
Scene  
On a video CD with PBC (Playback control) functions,  
moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sec-  
tions called “Scenes”. Each scene is displayed in the  
menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling  
you to locate the scene you want.  
Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped  
or octagonal). It may result in malfunctions.  
Notes on DVDs and Video CDs  
Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs  
may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers.  
As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to  
disc content designed by the software manufacturer,  
some playback features of the unit may not be available  
or other functions may be added.  
A scene is composed of one or several tracks.  
Types of video CDs  
There are two types of video CDs:  
Make sure to also refer to the instructions supplied with  
the DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for busi-  
ness purposes may not be able to be played on the  
unit.  
Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)  
PBC (Playback control) functions allow you to interact  
with the system via menus, search functions, or other  
typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures  
of high resolution can be played if they are included in  
the disc.  
Regional code of the DVD/VCR Receiver and DVDs  
This DVD/VCR Receiver is designed and manu-  
factured for playback of region “2” encoded DVD  
Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)  
Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs  
allow playback of video pictures as well as sound, but  
they are not equipped with PBC.  
2
software. The region code on the labels of some  
DVDs indicates which type of player can play  
those discs. This unit can only play DVDs labeled “2” or  
“ALL”. If you try to play any other discs, the message  
“Check Regional Code” will appear on the TV screen.  
Some DVDs that have no region code label may still be  
subject to area restrictions and therefore not playable.  
Notes  
“Music discs encoded with copyright protection tech-  
nologies”  
This product is designed to playback discs that con-  
form to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.  
Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright  
protection technologies are marketed by some record  
companies. Please be aware that among those discs,  
there are some that do not conform to the CD stan-  
dard and may not be playable by this product.

Connections (Continued)  
Speaker System Connections  
Speaker Positioning  
For a normal setup use 6 speakers (2 front speakers,  
center speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer).  
Connect the speakers using the supplied speaker cords  
by matching the colors of the terminals and those of the  
cords. To obtain the best possible surround sound,  
adjust the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.).  
• Front Speakers  
Based on your listening position, set up the speakers  
at equal distance. And by hearing position, set up an  
interval between speakers of 45 degree.  
Notes  
Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate  
terminal on the components: 3 to 3 and # to #. If  
the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted  
and lack bass.  
If you use front speakers with low maximum input rat-  
ing, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive  
volume output to the speakers.  
• Center Speaker  
It is ideal that the center speakers and front speakers  
are same height. But normally place it above or below  
the television as shown below.  
• Rear Speakers  
Place the rear surround speakers to the left and right  
behind the primary listening area. These speakers  
recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for  
surround playback. For best results, do not install the  
rear speakers too far behind the listening position,  
install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears.  
It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards  
a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.  
In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is  
near to the rear wall set the rear speakers opposite  
each other, and set the rear speakers 60 - 90 cm  
above the listener’s ears.  
Do not disassemble the front covers of supplied speakers.

and Surround mode  
Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played  
according to the way it was recorded.  
Sound Mode  
You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one  
of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the  
programme you want to listen to.  
Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality  
digital audio from DTS programme sources such as discs,  
DVD and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark. DTS  
Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent  
audio(which means identical to the original masters) and  
results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree  
sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology,  
LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.  
Press SOUND FIELD repeatedly until the sound mode  
you want appears in the display window as below.  
Each time you press SOUND FIELD button, the sound  
mode is changed in the following order;

enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and  
improved dynamic range.  
When DVD is inserted.  
You can change the sound mode of DVD (Dolby Digital, DTS,

during playback.

of being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an effect with  
an intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO  
LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/right  
movement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed  
position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynam-  
ic than before.  
Each time you press AUDIO button, the sound mode of DVD is  
changed as the following order;  
(Dolby Pro Logic II)  
For your reference  
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels  
from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced,  
high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial  
properties of the original recording without adding any new  
sounds or tonal colorations.  
The DVD/VCR Receiver memorizes the last mode  
settings for each source individually.  
You can identify the encoding format of pro-  
gramme software by looking at its packaging.

logo.  
MOVIE mode:  
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all  
programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced  
soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete  
5.1-channel sound.  
MUSIC mode:  
Note  
When you play sound tracks with 96kHz sampling frequency, the  
output signals will be converted to 48kHz (sampling frequency).  
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings,  
and provides a wide and deep sound space. The Music mode  
includes controls that allow the sound to be tailored to individual  
listening tastes.  
Volume Control  
You can adjust the volume by rotating VOLUME on the  
front panel or by pressing VOL (+/–) on the remote con-  
trol repeatedly.  
MATRIX mode:  
The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the  
directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to  
enhance mono signals by making them seem “larger.” The  
Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluc-  
tuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause dis-  
turbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate  
“cure” for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the  
audio to mono.  
Muting  
Press MUTING to mute your unit.  
You can mute your unit in order, for example, to answer  
the telephone, “MUTING” indicator in the display win-  
dow. To exit mute mode, press MUTING again.  
3D SURROUND  
This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D Surround  
Sound technology, which simulates multi-channel audio play-  
back from two conventional stereo speakers instead of the five  
or more speakers normally required to listen to multi-channel  
audio from a home theatre. This feature works with DVD discs  
encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital audio tracks.

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s sound-  
track in the most accurate and realistic presentation  
possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However,  
you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the  
audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds  
and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie  
at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set  
DRC to On for this effect.

About MP3  
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the  
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call  
files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.  
The DVD/VCR Receiver can not read an MP3 file  
that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.  
The DVD/VCR Receiver can play MP3 formatted  
recordings on CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs.  
Before playing MP3 disc, read the notes on MP3 files  
on right.  
Insert a disc and close the tray.  
Audio CD: Audio CD menu appears on the TV  
screen go to step 4.  
MP3 disc: The MP3/JPEG select menu appears on

MP3 Disc compatibility with this DVD/VCR  
Receiver is limited as follows:  
Sampling Frequency : only at 44.1kHz  
Bit rate : within 32 - 320kbps  
MP3  
CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”  
If you record MP3 files using the software which can-  
not create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “UDF” etc.,  
it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We recom-  
mend that you use an ISO9660 file system.  
A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first  
track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot  
playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3  
files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.  
File names should be named using 8 letters or less  
and must incorporate “.mp3” extension  
JPEG  
Use V/v to select the MP3 then press  
ENTER/OK.  
The MP3 disc Menu appears on the TV screen.

This DVD/VCR Receiver requires discs/recordings to  
meet certain technical standards in order to achieve  
optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are auto-  
matically set to these standards. There are many differ-  
ent types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R  
containing MP3 files). That require certain pre-existing  
conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.
