Notes on Discs

On handling discs To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc. If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc, remove the glue completely before using the disc.
Note on DVD 5-disc changer with EXCHANGE mechanism
You can change other discs while playing a disc (EXCHANGE mechanism).

Disc changer system

Stocker
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be considerable rise in temperature inside the car. After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not use discs fitted with a protection ring. This may cause the system to malfunction. On cleaning Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Disc tray

Playing unit
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
The disc changer consists of a playing unit, trays which hold the discs, and a stocker which transports the discs on their trays to the disc slot and the playing unit. For example, if you press DISC 3, the stocker moves until the DISC 3 tray comes to the position of the playing unit and then moves the DISC 3 tray over the playing unit. If you press A of DISC 4 while playing DISC 3, the stocker leaves the DISC 3 tray over the playing unit, moves so that the DISC 4 tray comes to the position of the disc cover, opens the disc cover and pushes out the DISC 4 tray (EXCHANGE mechanism). Note
Noise may come from the disc changer when changing discs or turning the system on and off. However, this is just noise produced by the operation of the internal mechanisms and does not indicate a malfunction.

HALL JAZZ CLUB LIVE HOUSE GAME
Reproduces the acoustics of a rectangular concert hall. Reproduces the acoustics of a jazz club. Reproduces the acoustics of a 300-seat live house. Obtains maximum audio impact from video game software.
Ideal for soft acoustic sounds.
Great for rock or pop music. Be sure to set the game machine to stereo mode when using game software with stereo sound capabilities.
* VIRTUAL sound field: Sound field with virtual speakers.
The effects provided by the virtual speakers may cause increased noise in the playback signal.
Understanding the Multi-Channel Surround Displays
Source sound displays The letters (L, C, R, etc.) indicate the source sound. The boxes around the letters vary to show how the system downmixes the source sound (based on the speaker settings). When using music sound modes like HALL, the system adds reverberation based on the source sound. Although the table below shows almost all of the configurations available from multichannel surround signals, the ones marked are the most common. Recording Format (Front/ Rear)

2/0** PCM

* Signals with Dolby surround encoded flag OFF ** Signals with Dolby surround encoded flag ON
The system performs Pro Logic decoding and the display conforms to 2/0** when using the following movie sound modes with 2/0** or STEREO PCM format signals. (C. STUDIO A, B, C, V. MULTI. D.) When using music sound modes like HALL with standard audio formats, like PCM, the system creates rear signals from the front L and R signals. However, a center speaker signal is not created. In this case, sound is output from the rear speakers, but output channel indicators for the rear speakers do not light.

Customizing Sound Fields

By adjusting the surround parameters of the front, rear and center speakers, you can customize the sound fields to suit your particular listening situations. Once you customize a sound field, the changes are stored in memory indefinitely (unless the system is unplugged for about a day). You can change a customized sound field any time by making new adjustments to the parameters. See the table on page 28 for the parameters available in each sound field. To get the most from multi-channel surround sound Position your speakers and do the procedures described in Speaker Setup starting on page 16 before you customize a sound field.
Adjusting the level parameters
The level parameters let you adjust the balance and speaker volumes of each speaker. The settings available here are applied to all sound fields. However, the parameters you have already adjusted in Speaker Setup on page 18 need not to be adjusted again to customize the sound fields.
Start playing a program source encoded with multi-channel surround sound. Press LEVEL. Sit at your listening position and select the item to be adjusted using the M/m buttons. Adjust the volume level using the </, buttons. The adjusted value will appear on the front panel display. If you do not operate the remote for a few seconds, the value turns off and is stored in the system.
x BALANCE You do not have to adjust here. See page 18. x LEVEL You do not have to adjust here. See page 18. x LFE MIX (Low Frequency Effect mix level) Initial setting: 4 dB This parameter lets you attenuate the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel output from the subwoofer without effecting the level of the bass frequencies sent to the subwoofer from the front, center, or rear channels via the Dolby Digital (AC-3) bass redirection circuitry. The level can be adjusted in 1 dB step from 20 dB to 0 dB (line level). 0 dB outputs the full LFE signal at the mix level determined by the recording engineer. Selecting MUTING mutes the sound of the LFE channel from the subwoofer. However, the low frequency sounds of the front, center, or rear speakers are output from the subwoofer.
x dts LFE MIX (dts Low Frequency Effect mix level) Initial setting: 0 dB This parameter lets you attenuate the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel output from the subwoofer without effecting the level of the bass frequencies sent to the subwoofer from the front, center, or rear channels via the dts bass redirection circuitry. The level can be adjusted in 1 dB step from 20 dB to +10 dB (line level). Selecting MUTING mutes the sound of the LFE channel from the subwoofer. However, the low frequency sounds of the front, center, or rear speakers are output from the subwoofer.
