Learning More about This System
Connections
(see pages 3 to 5)
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords and power cord. Also, keep the
antennas away from metallic parts of the System,
connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause
poor reception.
• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as
indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the System.
• 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 instruction. If this happens, move the
speakers away from the TV.
Daily Operations—Playback
(see pages 7 to 10)
Listening to the Radio:
•If you store a new station into an occupied preset number,
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 a Disc:
•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 a malfunction of this System.
• Some DVD Audios prohibit downmix. 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.
• When playing back a DVD Audio disc recorded in MLP
(Meridian Lossless Packing; a lossless audio compression
system that can completely recreate the PCM signal), the
signals are recognized as the linear PCM signals, however,
no indicator lights up on the display.
• For MP3 playback...
–MP3 discs are required a longer readout time than regular
CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file
configuration.)
– Some MP3 files cannot be played back and will be
skipped. This results 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 files with the extension
code <.mp3> (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.
This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less
than 64 kbps.
Daily Operations—Sound & Other Adjustments
(see pages 11 to 14)
Adjusting the Sound:
• This function also affects the sound through the
headphones.
Presetting Automatic DVD Video Sound Increase Level:
• This also functions for DVD-VR formatted discs.
Changing the Scanning Mode:
•You cannot change the scanning mode to progressive in the
following cases:
– When your TV does not support the progressive video
input.
– When you have not connected your TV to the system
using a component video cord.
Setting the Clock:
• “AM12:00” will flash on the display until you set the
clock.
•The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this
happens, reset the clock.
