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.
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.
Playing Back a Disc/File:•When you change the source to DVD/CD or USB MEMORY (for
•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.
•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
–This System can play only a disc of

–You cannot use reverse slow motion, Program Play, or Random Play.
•For MP3 or WMA (for
–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.
•For JPEG files playback...
–It is recommended that you record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480, it will take a long time to be shown.)
–This System can play only baseline JPEG files*. Progressive JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played.
*Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras,
web, etc.
Progressive JPEG format: Used for web.
Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now.
–This System can playback JPEG files with the extension code <.jpg> or <.jpeg> (regardless of the letter case— upper/lower).
–This System may not playback JPEG files properly if they are recorded from a device other than a digital camera.
–During
•For
–The stream format should conform to MPEG system/ program stream.
–720 x 576 pixels (25 fps)/720 x 480 pixels (30 fps) is recommended for the highest resolution.
–This System also supports the resolutions of 352 x 576/ 480 x 576/352 x 288 pixels (25 fps) and 352 x 480/480 x 480/352 x 240 pixels (30 fps).
–The file format should be MP@ML (Main Profile at Main Level)/SP@ML (Simple profile at Main Level)/ MP@LL (Main Profile at Low Level).
–Audio streams should conform to MPEG1 Audio
•For DivX playback...
–This System can play only a disc of
–The System supports DivX files whose resolution is 720 x 480 pixels or less (30 fps), and 720 x 576 pixels or less (25 fps).
–Audio stream should conform to MPEG1 Audio
