* Copyright-protected DVD AUDIOs do not output signals. Among DVD VIDEOs without copyright protection, there may be some DVD VIDEOs that output a 20 or 24 bit signal through the digital audio output terminals. To produce the sound from the loaded disc in the DVD player, select PCM ONLY. Otherwise the receiver does not detect the signal and no sound is produced. (The initial setting is PCM ONLY.)

Adjust the sound input level of the audio equipment
You can adjust the sound input level of audio equipment connected to the AUX terminals.
Slide the remote control mode selector to RECEIVER. Press AUX to select AUX.
Each time you press AUX, the display on the receiver toggles between AUX-DIGITAL and AUX. The source changes to the signal from the AUX terminals.

3 (play)

Hold down MEMORY until the input level is displayed.
Each time you hold down the button, the input level switches as follows:
LEVEL1 STORED: For normal use. (initial setting)
Connect the other audio equipment to this system in advance (A page 12).
Slide the remote control mode selector to RECEIVER. Press AUX to select AUX-DIGITAL or AUX.
Each time you press AUX, the display on the receiver toggles between AUX-DIGITAL and AUX. The source changes to the signal from the AUX terminals. You can also use SOURCE SELECT on the receiver to select the signal from the AUX terminals as the sound source.
LEVEL2 STORED: To correct distorted sound caused by an extremely high input level from other equipment.
Begin playback on the other audio equipment.
For details on beginning playback, refer to the manual of the connected equipment.
Adjust the volume and the sound quality of the system (A page 16).
When no equipment is connected to the DIGITAL IN AUX terminal or the power of the connected equipment is off, after AUX-DIGITAL is selected, the display changes to AUX-D UNLOCK.

When the time you specify elapses, the system will be turned off automatically.

Notes on MP3/WMA/JPEG/ASF discs and files
A disc may not be played back, or reading it may take a long time depending on its recording conditions or properties. The time needed for reading varies with the number of groups or tracks (files) recorded on the disc. If a character other than single byte English characters is used in the file name of an MP3/WMA/JPEG/ASF file, the track/file name will not be displayed correctly. The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3/WMA control screen, and the order of files/groups displayed on the JPEG control screen may be different from that of files/folders displayed on a computer monitor screen. A commercially available MP3/WMA disc may be played back in an order different from that indicated on the label attached to the disc. Playing back an MP3/WMA/JPEG/ASF disc may take a long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until playback starts. The elapsed time may also not be displayed correctly. For an MP3/WMA file, a disc with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128 kbps is recommended. This system can play back a baseline JPEG file, excluding monochromatic JPEG files. This system can play back JPEG data taken with a digital camera conforming to the DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System) standard (when a function such as the automatic image rotation function of a digital camera is applied, the data no longer complies with the DCF standard, so the image may not be displayed). If data has been processed, edited and restored with computer image editing software, the data may not be displayed. This system cannot play back animations such as MOTION JPEG, still images (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG, or image data with sound. The resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is recommended for JPEG files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480 pixels, display may take a long time. An image with a resolution of more than x pixels cannot be displayed. The system supports ASF files recorded with the maximum bit rate of 384 kbps and an audio coder decoder of G.726. The maximum size of the playback picture is 352 x 288 pixels (CIF).
Caution for DualDisc playback:

7 No subtitle is displayed.
The disc does not contain any subtitles. A DVD VIDEO without subtitles cannot display any subtitles. The subtitle language is set to OFF. Specify a language. (A page 38) Before or after point A or B in A-B repeat playback, no subtitle may be displayed.
7 The disc cannot be ejected.
DVD/CD ejection is locked. A page 28
7 LR ONLY is displayed in the display window (for a DVD AUDIO).
This is not a malfunction. When a down mix prohibited track is played back for multichannel sound, the left and right sounds are output directly as they are.
7 The tweeters produce no sound.
Single Amp is selected on the receiver. Select Bi-Amp. (A page 11)
If the system does not work properly despite correction measures aforementioned
Many functions of this system are controlled by microprocessors that can be reset by recycling the power supply. If pressing any button does not result in the normal action, disconnect the power cord from the outlet, wait for a while, and connect the power cord again.
