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 AUDIO

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. This system can play CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD format. This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3, WMA, JPEG or MPEG4 files are recorded on them. However, some discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them. Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3, WMA, JPEG or 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 discs may not be played back. Some tracks on an MP3 or WMA disc may be skipped or may not be played back normally. Some files on a JPEG or MPEG4 disc may be played back distortedly. Before playing back 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.
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 systems Region Code, which is indicated on the rear panel.

Example of playable DVD:

If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded, REGION CODE ERROR! appears on the TV screen and playback cannot start.
TH-S8-S5-S51[B].book Page 4 Friday, March 12, 2004 6:37 PM
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.) When making an MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 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. The system can only play MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 files with the following file extensions; MP3:.MP3,.Mp3,.mP3 and.mp3 WMA:.wma,.WMA and any uppercase and lowercase combination (such as.Wma) JPEG:.jpg,.jpeg,.JPG,.JPEG and any uppercase and lowercase combination (such as.Jpg) MPEG4:.asf,.ASF and any uppercase and lowercase combination (such as.Asf) If different type of files (audio (MP3/WMA), still picture (JPEG), and video (MPEG4) files) are recorded on a disc, set the FILE TYPE setting in the PICTURE menu to the appropriate setting for the data to be read. (A pg. 37) The system recognizes up to 150 tracks (files) per group, 99 groups per disc, and the total number of the tracks (files) that the system can play is 1000. For example, if you set FILE TYPE to AUDIO (A pg. 37) and play a disc that contains 500 MP3 tracks, 200 JPEG files, and 600 WMA tracks, the system can play 500 MP3 tracks and the first 500 of 600 WMA tracks. Some MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs may not be played back normally because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions. Notes on MP3/WMA discs only The system supports MP3 files recorded with a bit rate of kbps and a sampling frequency of 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz*, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz. If the tag information (album name, artist, and track title, etc.) is recorded on a disc, it appears in the file control display on the TV screen. (A pg. 28) 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 (96*) kbps. Some tracks may be skipped or may not be played back normally. * For WMA only Notes on JPEG discs only 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. Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly. Notes on MPEG4 disc only The system supports the types of simple profile as MPEG4 files (MPEG4 SP). The system supports MPEG4 files recorded with the maximum bit rate of 384 kbps and an audio codec of G.726. (To play the MPEG4 file, it is required that G.726 formatted audio data is contained in that file.) The maximum size of the played picture is at a 352 x 288 pixel resolution (CIF). Some files may be skipped or may not be played normally.

Surround speakers SP-THS9S
When you connect speakers other than the supplied ones, use speakers of the same speaker impedance (SPEAKER IMPEDANCE) indicated near the speaker terminals on the rear of the powered subwoofer. DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one speaker terminal.

When installing the satellite speakers on the wall; Be sure to have them installed on the wall by a qualified personnel. DO NOT install the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to avoid unexpected damage from their falling off the wall due to incorrect installation or weakness in wall structure. Care must be taken in selecting a location for speaker installation on a wall. Injury to personnel or damage to equipment may result if the speakers installed interfere with daily activities.

Although the satellite speakers and the powered subwoofer are magnetically shielded, the TV screen may appear mottled. In this case, keep enough distance between the speakers and the TV. The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they 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 TVs main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TVs main power switch again. Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV. Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface. Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TVs right. If you place the powered subwoofer to the TVs left, keep sufficient distance between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.
