Creating Your Own Sound Modes —User Mode:

•When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the User Mode settings may be erased in a few days. If this happens, set the User Modes again.

Creating 3-dimensional Sound Field—3D Phonic:

•While you use the headphones, 3D Phonic is canceled temporarily.

–3D Phonic is also applied to the optical digital output signals through the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT terminal.

Setting the Clock:

•“AM 12:00” 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.

Unique Video Disc/File Operations (see pages 17
