Introduction

Precautions

Installation

Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too coldbetween 5C and 35C. Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup in the System. DO NOT install the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration. Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV. Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with TV. If you are not going to operate the System for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet. If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

How to Read This Manual

To make the explanations in this manual as simple and easyto-understand as possible, we have adapted the following methods: Button and control operations are explained as listed in the table below. In this manual, the operations using the remote control is mainly explained; however, you can use the buttons and controls on the main unit if they have the same (or similar) name and marks. Some related tips and notes are explained later in the sections Learning More about This System and Troubleshooting, but not in the same section explaining the operations. If you want to know more about the functions, or if you have a doubt about the function, go to these sections and you will find your answer there. Indicates that you press the button briefly. Indicates that you press the button briefly and repeatedly until an option you want is selected. Indicates that you press one of the buttons.

Additional Information

Learning More about This System
Getting Started (see pages 3 to 6) Changing the Scanning Mode: To enjoy the progressive video picture, connect a TV with the progressive video input using component video cord. Daily OperationsPlayback (see pages 10 to 13)
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 be erased in a few days. If this happens, preset the stations again. Playing Back a Disc: When using an 8 cm disc, place it on the inner circle of the disc tray. 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. When discs* in more than one tray are loaded on the disc trays, they are played in sequence as follows:

Advanced Disc Operations (see pages 24 to 26) Programming the Playing OrderProgram Play: If you try to program a 100th track, MEM FULL (memory full) appears on the display. While programming steps. Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an item number that does not exist on the disc (for example, selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks). You cannot use Program Play and Random Play for JPEG discs. You cannot eject tray while in Program Play. Playing at RandomRandom Play: The 4 button does not work for skipping chapters or tracks,
but only work for going back to the beginning of the current chapter or track.
When you select 16:9 for a picture whose aspect ratio is 4:3, the picture slightly changes due to the process for converting the picture width. AUDIODOWN MIX: This setting is not effective when DTS multi-channel software is played back. OTHERSON SCREEN GUIDE: Setup Menus and on-screen bar will be displayed (and recorded) even though this function is set to OFF. Subtitles and the information for zooming in always appear on the display regardless of this setting. MP3/WMA/JPEG groups/tracks configuration This System plays back the tracks as follows.

For JPEG files playback.

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.) This System can play only baseline JPEG files. Progressive JPEG files or lossless JPEG files cannot be played.
Baseline JPEG format: Progressive JPEG format: Lossless JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web, etc. Used for web. An old type and rarely used now.
Group with its play order Track with its play order
This System may not play back JPEG files properly which are recorded by the devices other than digital still camera. If progressive or lossless JPEG files are played back, a black screen appears. In this case, stop playback and select a baseline JPEG file. Note that it may take a long time to select another file.
Timer Operations (see pages 32 to 33) When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the clock first, then the timer again. If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing the selected source, Daily Timer is canceled. Setup Menu Operations (see pages 34 to 39) LANGUAGE Setup Menu: When the language you have selected for MENU LANGUAGE, AUDIO LANGUAGE, or SUBTITLE is not recorded on a disc, the original language is used as the initial language. PICTUREMONITOR TYPE: Even if 4:3 PS is selected, the screen size may become 4:3 letter box with some DVD Video discs. This depends on how the discs are recorded.

On-Screen Disc Operations (see pages 24 to 28) For JPEG files playback. 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.) This System can play only baseline JPEG files. Progressive JPEG files or lossless JPEG files cannot be played. Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web, etc. Progressive JPEG format: Used for web. Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now. This System may not play back JPEG files properly which are recorded by the devices other than digital still camera. If progressive or lossless JPEG files are played back, a black screen appears. In this case, stop playback and select a baseline JPEG file. Note that it may take a long time to select another file. Timer Operations (see pages 29 to 30) When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the clock first, then the timer again. If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing the selected source, Daily Timer is canceled. Setup Menu Operations (see pages 31 to 36)
