Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi Session

• This system can playback Multi Session discs when an MP3 audio track is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• This system can playback Multi Session discs when a JPEG image file is contained in the first session. Any subsequent JPEG image files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• If audio tracks and images in audio CD format or VIDEO CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

• When you playback Multi Session discs with different formats in each session, the format of the first session is recognized as the disc type. Tracks in the second and subsequent sessions are played back if they are the same formats as the first session except for audio CD and VIDEO CD format.

• CD-Rs and CD-RWs recorded in Multi Session that have not ended by “closing the session” are not supported.

Notes• If you place the center speaker on the unit, be sure to

place it at the front side of the unit.

• Always place the sub woofer vertically, keeping it a few centimeters away from the wall.

• If the sub woofer is placed in the center of a room, the bass could be extremely weakened. This is due to the influence of the standing wave of the room. If this happens, move the sub woofer away from the center of the room or eliminate the cause of the standing wave, by placing a bookshelf against the wall, etc.

On operating voltageBefore operating the system, check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.

On safety• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power

source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the unit, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On placement• Do not place the unit in an inclined position.

• Do not place the unit in locations where it is:

– Extremely hot or cold

– Dusty or dirty

– Very humid

– Subject to vibrations

– Subject to direct sunlight.

• Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.

On heat buildup• Although the unit heats up during operation, this is

not a malfunction.

• Place the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup in the unit.

• If you continuously use this unit at a high volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.

• To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation hole for the cooling fan.

In case color irregularity is observed on a nearby TV screenWith the magnetically shielded type of speakers, the speakers can be installed near a TV set. However, color irregularity may still be observed on the TV screen depending on the type of your TV set.

If color irregularity is observed...Turn off the TV set at once, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes.

If color irregularity is observed again...Place the speakers farther away from the TV set.

On operation• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm

location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit. Should this occur, the system will not operate properly. Remove the disc and leave the system turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

• Before you move the unit, make sure that all discs are removed from the unit.

Notes on discs• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.

Wipe the disc from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight.

• Do not use discs encircled with a protection ring. This may cause a malfunction to the system.

• When using discs that have glue or similar tacky substance on the label side of the disc or that used a special ink when the label was printed, there is a chance that the disc or label may become attached to parts inside this unit. When this occurs, it may not be possible to remove the disc, and may also cause this system to malfunction. Be sure to check that the label side of the disc is not sticky before using.The following types of disc should not be used:

– Rental or used discs with attached seals where the glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter of the seal on the disc is tacky.

– Discs that have labels printed using a special ink that feels tacky when touched.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played back on this system. Attempting to do so may damage the system. Do not use such discs.

Cleaning the cabinetClean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as thinner, benzene or alcohol.

To save a tape permanentlyTo prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over, break off the tape tab from side A or B as illustrated.

If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape.

Before placing a tape in the tape deckTake up any slack in the tape deck. Otherwise, the tape may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and become damaged.

When using a tape longer than 90 minutesThe tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape operations such as playback, stop, and fast-winding frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape deck.

Cleaning the tape headsClean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use. Be sure to clean the tape heads before you start an important recording or after playing an old tape. Use a separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning tape.

Demagnetising the tape headsDemagnetise the tape heads and the metal parts that have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours of use with a separately sold demagnetising tape. For details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetising tape.

AlbumSection of a music or picture piece on a data CD containing MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files.

Chapter Subdivision of a title on a DVD. A title is composed of several chapters.

Dolby DigitalThis sound format for movie theaters is more advanced than Dolby Pro Logic Surround. In this format, the surround speakers output stereo sound with an expanded frequency range and a sub woofer channel for deep bass is independently provided. This format is also called “5.1” because the sub woofer channel is counted as 0.1 channel (since it functions only when a deep bass effect is needed). All six channels in this format are recorded separately to realize superior channel separation. Futhermore, since all the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradation occurs.

Dolby Pro Logic IIDolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

Movie mode

The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all the programmes encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

Music mode

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.

Dolby Surround Pro LogicAs one method of decoding Dolby Surround, Dolby Surround Pro Logic produces four channels from two-channel sound. Compared with the former Dolby Surround System, Dolby Surround Pro Logic reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantages of Dolby Surround Pro Logic, you should have one pair of surround speakers and a center speaker. The surround speakers output monaural sound.

DTSDigital audio compression technology that the Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround. The rear channel is stereo and there is discrete sub woofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio. The good channel separation is realized because the all channel data is recorded discrete and processed in digital.

DVDA disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards for digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD also uses variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more realistic audio presence.Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.

Film based software, Video based softwareDVDs can be classified as Film based or Video based software. Film based DVDs contain the same images (24 frames per second) that are shown at movie theaters. Video based DVDs, such as television dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30 frames (or 60 fields) per second.

Index (CD) / Video Index (VIDEO CD)A number that divides a track into sections to easily locate the point you want on a VIDEO CD or a CD. Depending on the disc, no indexes may be recorded.

Interlace format(Interlaced scanning)The Interlace format is the NTSC standard method for displaying TV images at 30 frames per second. Each frame is scanned twice-alternately between the even numbered scanning lines and then odd numbered scanning lines, at 60 times per second.

Menu PlaybackPlayback using the menu screens recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC functions. You can enjoy simple interactive software using the menu playback function.

Multi-angle functionVarious angles, or viewpoints of the video camera, for a scene are recorded on some DVDs.

Multilingual function Several languages for the sound or subtitles in a picture are recorded on some DVDs.

Multi SessionThis is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method.Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions, with each segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a single session.

Parental ControlA function of the DVD to limit playback of the disc by the age of the users according to the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback is completely prohibited, violent scenes are skipped or replaced with other scenes and so on.

Playback Control (PBC)Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version 2.0) to control playback. By using menu screens recorded on VIDEO CDs with PBC functions, you can enjoy playing simple interactive programs, programs with search functions, and so on.This system conforms to Version 1.1 and Version 2.0 of VIDEO CD standards. You can enjoy two kinds of playback depending on the disc type.

VIDEO CDs without PBC functions (Version. 1.1 discs)Enjoy video playback (moving pictures) as well as music.

VIDEO CDs with PBC functions (Version. 2.0 discs)

Play interactive software using menu screens displayed on the TV screen (PBC Playback), in addition to the video playback function of Version 1.1 discs. Moreover, you can play high-resolution still pictures, if they are included on the disc.

Progressive format (sequential scanning)Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interface format can show 30 frames (60 fields) in one second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper. This system is compatible with 525 progressive format.

Region CodeThis system is used to protect copyrights. A region code is allocated on each DVD unit or DVD disc according to the sales region. Each region code is shown on the unit as well as on the disc packaging. The system can play the discs that match its region code. The system can also play discs with the “ ” mark. Even when the region code is not shown on the DVD, the region limit may still be activated.

SceneOn a VIDEO CD with PBC functions, the menu screens, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called “scenes”. Each scene is assigned a secne number enabling you to locate the scene you want.

TitleThe longest section of a picture or a music piece on a DVD; a movie, etc., for a picture piece on video software; or an album, etc., for a music piece on audio software. Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want.

TrackSections of a picture or a music piece on a CD or VIDEO CD. Each track is assigned a track number enabling you to locate the track you want.

VIDEO CDA compact disc that contains moving pictures.The picture data uses the MPEG 1 format, one of the worldwide standards for digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/140 of its original size. Consequently, a 12 cm VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes of moving pictures.

VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio data.

Sound outside the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds we can hear are not compressed. VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the audio information of conventional audio CDs.There are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.• Version 1.1: You can play only moving

pictures and sounds.• Version 2.0: You can play high-resolution

still pictures and enjoy PBC functions.This system conforms to both versions.
