01 Before you start Chapter 1 Before you start Features Picture zoom 24-bit/96kHz compatible DAC While a DVD or Video CD is playing, you can zoom in on any part of the picture at up to 4x magnification for a closer look. See Zooming the screen on page 52. This system is fully compatible with high sampling-rate discs, capable of delivering better-than-CD sound quality in terms of dynamic range, low-level resolution and highfrequency detail.
01 Before you start What’s in the box 3 Close the cover. Please confirm that the following accessories are in the main system box when you open it. • Remote control • AA/R6P dry cell batteries (x2) • Video cable (yellow plugs) • AM loop antenna • FM wire antenna • Power cable • These operating instructions • Warranty card Please confirm that the following accessories are in the speaker box when you open it.
01 Before you start • Remote controllers for different devices can interfere with each other. Avoid using remotes for other equipment located close to this system. • Replace the batteries when you notice a fall off in the operating range of the remote. Disc / content format playback compatibility DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs (Audio CDs and Video CDs) recorded using a DVD recorder, CD recorder or personal computer may not be playable on this system.
01 Before you start PC-created disc compatibility Compressed audio compatibility • If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a “compatible format” as listed above, there will be cases in which the disc may not be playable in this machine due to the setting of the application software used to create the disc. In these particular instances, check with the software publisher for more detailed information.
01 Before you start • When naming MP3 and WMA files, add the corresponding file name extension (.mp3 or .wma). Files are played according to the file extension. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not use these extensions for other kinds of files. • This system can recognize up to 999 files (WMA/MP3) and up to 499 folders. If a disc exceeds these limits, only files and folders up to these limits will be playable. Files and folders are read/displayed in alphabetical order.
02 Connecting up Chapter 2 Connecting up • CAUTION: These speaker terminals can be under HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE. When you connect or disconnect the speaker cables, to prevent the risk of electric shock, do not touch uninsulated parts before disconnecting the power cord. • Before making or changing any rear panel connections, make sure that all the components are switched off and unplugged from the power supply.
02 Connecting up Connect each speaker using the color-coded speaker cable. Match them to the colored labels above the speaker terminals. • Do not connect any of the supplied speakers to any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire. This system has been designed for best performance when connected to the supplied speakers. We do not, therefore, recommend that you connect and use other speakers with this system. 1 Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire.
02 Connecting up • The illustration below shows typical speaker placement for a surround sound system. Front L Before mounting Front R Subwoofer Center Surround L Wall-mounting the center and surround speaker system Surround R • Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.
02 Connecting up Connecting to your TV This system has three different kinds of video output that you can use to connect up your TV. Check the available inputs on your TV to see which you can use. • Do not connect a VCR between this system and your TV as DVD playback will be affected. Connecting using the S-video output If your TV has an S-video input, you can use this instead of the standard video output for a better quality picture.
02 Connecting up Connecting using the component video output Listening to TV audio through this system If your TV has component video inputs, you can use these instead of the standard video output to connect this system to your TV. This should give you the best quality picture from the three types of video output available. You can connect the audio output of your TV to this system so that broadcast TV sound is played through this system.
02 Connecting up Connecting the supplied antennas The supplied antennas provide a simple way to listen to AM and FM radio. If you find that reception quality is poor, an outdoor antenna should give you better sound quality—see Connecting external antennas on page 77 for more on how to do this.
02 Connecting up Connecting the power • It’s also possible to fix the AM antenna to a wall using two screws (see illustration below). Before fixing, make sure that the reception is satisfactory. Before connecting the power and switching on for the first time make sure that everything is connected properly. AC IN FM UNBAL 75 FM wire antenna • Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM UNBAL 75Ω terminal in the same way as the AM loop antenna.

04 Getting started • I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the system to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so why do I still get black bars top and bottom with some discs? Some discs override the display preferences of the system, so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those discs will still be shown in letterbox format. This is not a malfunction. DVD-Video disc menus Many DVD-Video discs contain menus from which you can select what you want to watch.
04 Getting started Video CD PBC menus Listening to the radio Some Video CDs have menus from which you can choose what you want to watch. These are called PBC (Playback control) menus. The tuner can receive both FM and AM broadcasts, and lets you memorize your favorite stations so you don’t have to manually tune in every time you want to listen.
