Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers. This unit can play back only DVDs recorded with the PAL color system whose Region Code numbers include “2.”

EX.:

If a DVD with the improper Region Code numbers is loaded, “REGION ERR” appears on the display and playback will not start.

Audio formats

The System can play back the following digital audio formats.

•LPCM (Linear PCM)

•DIGITAL (Dolby Digital)

•DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

•MPEG (MPEG Multichannel)

•MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing)

When playing a multi-channel encoded DVD, the System properly converts these multi-channel signals into 2 channels, and emits the downmixed sound from the speakers.

To enjoy the powerful sound of these multi-channel encoded DVDs, connect a proper decoder or an amplifier with a proper built-in decoder to the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT terminal on the rear.

IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc, make sure ofthe following...

•Turn on the TV and select an appropriate input mode on the TV to view the pictures or on-screen displays on the TV screen.

•For disc playback, you can change the initial setting to your preference. See “Set up Menu Operations” on page 40.

If “” appears on the TV screen when you press a button, the disc cannot accept the operation you have tried to do, or data required for that operation is not recorded on the disc.
