*Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers. This System can play back only DVDs recorded with the NTSC color system whose Region Code numbers including “1.” EX.:

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

DVD Video—digital audio formats

The System can play back the following digital audio formats.

•Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, the same format used for CDs and most studio masters.

•Dolby Digital: Compressed digital audio, developed by Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode to create the realistic surround sound.

•DTS (Digital Theater Systems): Compressed digital audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it provides wider dynamic range and better separation.

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 digital output terminal on the rear.

IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc, make sure of the 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 “Setup Menu Operations” on page 31.

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.
