Introduction
7 Important cautions
Installation of the system
Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold;
between 5°C and 35°C.
Leave sufficient distance between the system and the TV.
Do not use the system in a place subject to vibration.
Power cord
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
A small amount of power is always consumed while the power
cord is connected to the wall outlet.
When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always
pull on the plug, not the power cord.
To prevent malfunctions of the system
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes
wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.
Do not insert any metallic object into the system.
Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart, flower or
credit card, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage
the system.
Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it
may damage the system.
Note about copyright laws
Check the copyright laws in your country before recording from the
discs. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright
laws.
Note about copyguard system
The discs are protected by copyguard system. When you connect
the system to your VCR directly, the copyguard system activates
and the picture may not be played back correctly.
7 Safety precautions
Avoid moisture, water and dust
Do not place the system in moist or dusty places.
Avoid high temperatures
Do not expose the system to direct sunlight and do not place it near
a heating device.
When you are away
When away on travel or for other reasons for an extended period of
time, disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
Do not block the vents
Blocking the vents may damage the system.
Care of the cabinet
When cleaning the system, use a soft cloth and follow the relevant
instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths. Do not use
benzene, thinner or other organic solvents including disinfectants.
These may cause deformation or discoloring.
If water gets inside the system
Turn the system off and disconnect the power cord plug from the
wall outlet, then call the store where you made your purchase.
Using the system in this condition may cause fire or electrical
shock.
Check to be sure you have all of the supplied accessories.
The number in parentheses is the quantity of the pieces supplied.
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

About discs
This system has been designed to play back the following discs:
DVD VIDEO, DVD AUDIO, Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD
(SVCD), Audio CD (CD), CD-R and CD-RW.
This system accommodates the PAL system, and also can play
discs recorded with NTSC system. Note that an NTSC video
signal on a disc is converted to the PAL60 signal and output.
This system can also play finalized DVD-R/-RWs recorded in
DVD VIDEO format. However, some discs may not be played
because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.
Discs you can play:
The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready),
Photo CD, SACD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs,
their actual operation may be different from what is
explained in this manual. This is due to the disc
programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of this
system.
DVD Logo is a trademark of DVD Format/Logo Licensing
Corporation.
Region code of DVD VIDEO
DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own
Region Code numbers. This system can play back DVD VIDEO
discs whose Region Code numbers include the system’s Region
Code, which is indicated on the rear panel.
If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,
“REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and
playback cannot start.
About files (tracks) and folders (groups) on the disc
This system can also play MP3, WMA, JPEG and MPEG4 files
recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs.
Files are sometimes grouped into folders on CD-Rs or CD-RWs by
genre, album, etc.
In this manual, “group” is also referred to as “folder”, and “track”
as “file”.
This system recognizes up to 150 files per group, and 99 groups
per disc.
The total number of files this system can detect on a disc is up to
1000.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can
be played back only if they are already “finalized”.
When making your own disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2
for the disc format.
This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20 sessions).
This system cannot play “packet write” discs.
Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or
cautions carefully.
CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by
the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of
regular CDs.
Some discs may not be played due to their disc characteristics,
recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.
This system can play CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in the audio
CD format.
This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3/WMA/
JPEG/MPEG4 files are recorded on them.
Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3/
WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 disc are determined by the writing
(encoding) software and hardware used for recording. Therefore,
due to the software and hardware used, the following symptoms
may occur:
Some tracks/files on an MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 disc may
be skipped or may not be played normally.
Some files on a JPEG/MPEG4 disc may be played distortedly.
Notes on MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs
MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW)
require a longer readout time. (It differs due to the complexity of
the directory/file configuration.)
The system can only recognize files with one of the following
extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower
case:
MP3: “.MP3”, “.mp3”
WMA: .WMA”, “.wma”
JPEG: “.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”
MPEG4: “.ASF”, “.asf”
If different kinds of the file are mixed on a disc, set the FILE
TYPE setting in the PICTURE menu to the appropriate setting
for the data to be read (“AUDIO”, “STILL PICTURE”, or
“VIDEO”). (See page 32.)
Notes on MP3/WMA files
Tag information (album name, artist name, and track name) can
be shown on the TV. (See page 24.)
The system can play back the MP3/WMA files recorded at 32
kbps to 320 kbps as a bit rate, and at 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, (24 kHz
for MP3 only) 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz as a sampling
frequency.
We recommend to record each piece of material (song) at a
sample rate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of 128 kbps for
MP3 files or 96 kbps for WMA files.
Notes on JPEG files
We recommend to 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 longer time to be displayed.)
This system can only play baseline JPEG files.
Notes on MPEG4 files
The system can play back the MPEG4 files followed the
conditions below:
File format: ASF
Visual profile: MPEG4 SP (Simple Profile)
Audio CODEC: G.726
Max. picture size: 352 x 288 (CIF)
Max. bit rate: 384 kbps

Switching to broadcast program of your
choice temporarily
Another convenient RDS service is called “Enhanced Other
Network”.
This allows the system to switch temporarily to a broadcast
program of your choice (TA, NEWS, and/or INFO) from a different
station except in the following cases:
When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM – MW
stations, some FM stations and other sources).
When the system is in standby mode.
NOTE
Before you start operations;
The Enhanced Other Network function is only applicable to preset
stations.
IMPORTANT
Before using the remote control for the
following operation;
1 Set the remote control mode selector to
AUDIO.
2Press FM/AM.
Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly until the
program type indicator (TA/NEWS/INFO)
you want appears on the display window.
Each time you press the button, the indicator on the display window
changes.
TA: Traffic Announcement in your area.
NEWS: News.
INFO: Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in the
widest sense.
To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced
Other Network
Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the program type
indicator (TA/NEWS/INFO) goes off from the display window. The
system exits from Enhanced Other Network standby mode and goes
back to the previously selected station.
When an emergency broadcast (Alarm ! signal) is sent
from an FM station
The system automatically tunes in to the station and “Alarm !”
appears on the display window while the system receiving the
emergency broadcast.
Note that an emergency broadcast cannot be received in the
following cases;
When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM — MW
stations, some FM stations and other sources).
When the system is in standby mode.
The TEST signal is used for equipment test — whether it
can receive the Alarm signal correctly
The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as the
Alarm signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the system
automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal.
While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the display
window.
7 How the Enhanced Other Network function actually
works
Case 1
If there is no station broadcasting the program you have
selected
The system continues tuning in to the current station.
When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected,
the system automatically switches to the station. The indicator of
received PTY code starts flashing.
When the program is over, the system goes back to the previously
tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Network function still
remains activated.
Case 2
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the
program you have selected
The system continues to receive the station but the indicator of
received PTY code starts flashing.
When the program is over, the indicator of received PTY code stops
flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other Network function
still remains activated.
NOTE
In Enhanced Other Network standby mode, if you change the source
to play, Enhanced Other Network standby mode is canceled
temporarily.
If you change the source to FM again, the system returns to
Enhanced Other Network standby mode.
Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may not be
compatible with this system.
Enhanced Other Network does not function for some FM stations
with RDS service.
While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network
function, the station does not change even if another network station
starts broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced Other Network
data.
While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network
function, you can only use TA/NEWS/INFO and RDS DISPLAY as
the tuner operation buttons.
