Basic Operations

•In this manual, operations using the remote control are mainly explained; however, you can use the buttons and controls on the main unit if they have the same (or similar) name and marks.

•Illustrations used in this manual is mainly of NX-D7. They may look different from the model you have.

•“USB 1” (for NX-D7) mentioned in this manual can be understood as “USB” (for NX-D5/NX-D3/NX-DC3).

•Button and control operations are explained in the table below.

Point the top of the remote control towards the remote sensor as directly as possible. If you operate it from a diagonal position, the operating range (about 5 m) may be shorter.

DO NOT turn off (standby) the System with the volume set at an extremely high level; otherwise, the sudden blast of sound may damage your hearing, speakers and/or headphones when you turn on the System or start playback.

For private listening

Connect a pair of headphones to the PHONES jack on the main unit. The sound will no longer come out of the speakers. “HPHONE IN” appears on the display for a while. Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting on the headphones.

•Disconnecting the headphones will activate the speakers again.

•When using the headphones with the L-shaped plug, connect it with the head of the plug facing the right side as illustrated below.

Motion Sensor

When you move your hand close to the remote sensor in the following cases, the illumination on the front panel turns on.

•While the System is on standby.•When “DIMMER 1” or “DIMMER 2” is selected.•When “AUTO DIMMER” is selected and playing moving and still pictures.To activate or deactivate the motion sensor, pressMOTION SENSOR.

•When the motion sensor is activated, “SELECT SOURCE” appears on the display while on standby.

•When the motion sensor is deactivated, the clock is shown on the display while on standby.

You can dim the display and illumination lamp.		• The information displayed and its order vary among the source.

Changing the pattern of the level meter

You can select the appearance of the level meter from 5 patterns (“LVL MTR 1” – “LVL MTR 5”).

Insert the batteries into the remote control by matching the polarity (+ and –) correctly.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace both batteries.

Caution:Be careful your children do not put the batteries into their mouths.

About HDMI CEC

CEC is device controlling signals optionally employed for the HDMI standard. When devices equipped with CEC are connected, each device can control the others. This System is compatible with some basic functions of HDMI CEC. For example, when you start playback on the System, the connected TV compatible with HDMI CEC automatically turns on.

•This function is available only when the source is set to “DVD/CD” or “USB1.”

•You can select or deactivate the usage for the HDMI CEC functions using “CEC” on Setup Menu (refer to “Setup Menu” in “Operating Guide”).

ON 1 To use the HDMI CEC functions normally.

ON 2 Select this if you do not want to have the System automatically turned on/off by turning on/off the TV or other external HDMI CEC compatible devices. All other available HDMI CEC functions operate the same as when “ON 1” is selected.

OFF To deactivate the HDMI CEC functions.

You can select the video output to match it to the color system of your TV (NTSC or PAL).

•If you connect a progressive TV through the component video cords or the HDMI cable, you can enjoy a high quality picture by selecting progressive scanning mode.

•You can change the setting only while playback is stopped.

While “DVD/CD” is selected as the source and playback isstopped...
