Additional Information Learning More about This System Connections (see pages 4 to 7) • 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 power cord. These could cause poor reception. • Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the System.
• For DVD-VR playback... – This System can play only a disc of UDF-Bridge format. – For details about DVD-VR format and Play List, refer to the manual of the recording equipment. • For MP3/WMA/WAV playback... – MP3/WMA/WAV discs require a longer readout time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file configuration.) – Some MP3/WMA/WAV files cannot be played back and will be skipped. This results from their recording processes and conditions.
