Learning More about This System

Introduction
(see pages 1 to 2)
Playable Disc Types:
• If you play back an NTSC disc with this setting set to "PAL,"
you can watch the playback pictures (the disc will be
reproduced using "PAL 60" format), but the TV screen may
roll over upward and downward rapidly.
• If you play back a PAL disc with this setting set to "NTSC,"
you can watch the playback pictures, but the following
symptoms may occur:
– The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and be shown
slightly shifted when highlighted.
– The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the original
aspect ratio.
– The picture movement is not smooth.
Connections
(see pages 3 to 5)
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords and 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 instruction. If this happens, move the
speakers away from the TV.

Additional Information

Daily Operations—Playback
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 not be erased. However, if
this happens, preset the stations again.
Playing Back a Tape:
• It is not recommended to use the C-120 or longer tapes. These
tapes easily jams in the pinch rollers and the capstans, and may
cause characteristic deterioration.
Playing Back a Disc:
• While the playback is stopped, for MP3/WMA/DivX/
MPEG4/DVD-Video/DVD-Audio/DVD-VR/JPEG discs,
"STOP" appears on the display. For CD, time indication
shows on the display instead. While for VCD and SVCD,
time indication shows on the display and then "PBC"
appears if the disc is with PBC function.
• 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.
• Some DVD Audios prohibit downmix. When you play
back 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.
• For MP3/WMA playback...
– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the
letter case—upper/lower).
– 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.
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1
or Level 2 for the disc format.
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file
at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.
This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of
less than 64 kbps.
• For JPEG files playback...
– This System can play back JPEG files with the extension
code <.jpg> or <.jpeg> (regardless of the letter case—
upper/lower).
– 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.)
