Additional Information
Learning More about This System
Connections (see pages 3 to 5)•Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords or the 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 instructions. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
•When a portable audio device is connected to the LINE IN jack, sound will come out of the speakers and headphones. However, no sound will come out of the LINE OUT jack.
Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 7 to 11)
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.
Listening to the TV Sound:•When you use this function, connect the System and TV with the Scart cable.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.
•When discs* in more than one tray are loaded on the disc trays, they are played in sequence as follows. (When DVD Video, DVD Audio or SVCD/VCD with PBC is loaded in the System, playback of the disc next to these discs will not start.):
Ex.: When DISC 2 is selected:DISC 2]DISC 3]DISC 4]DISC 5]DISC 1] (then stops)*When no disc is loaded on the disc tray, that disc number is skipped.•Some DVD Audio discs prohibit downmix. When you playback 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.
•This System can recognize up to 4 000 tracks in a disc. Also, the System can recognize up to 150 tracks per group and up to 99 groups in a disc.
–If there are any unplayable files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total file number.
–Playable files which do not belong to any groups are handled as Group 1.•For–For details about
–MP3/WMA discs require a longer readout time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/ file configuration.)
–Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will be skipped. This results from their recording processes and conditions.
–This System can play only a disc of ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2.–This System can playback MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter
–It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at a bit rate of 128 kbps. This System cannot playback files made at a bit rate of less than 64 kbps.
