SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be
taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are
properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing
connections.
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way — switch off,
withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has
a standby mode.
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to
watch television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved
stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
—NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case — this could result in a fatal
electrical shock.;
—NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

Introduction
7 Safety precautions
Notes on handling
7 Important cautions
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.
Installation of the system
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold;
between 5°C and 35°C.
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.
• Leave sufficient distance between the system and the TV.
• Do not use the system in a place subject to vibration.
Power cord
Do not block the vents
Blocking the vents may damage the system.
• 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.
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.
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.
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.
• 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

the system to your VCR directly, the copyguard system activates
and the picture may not be played back correctly.

About discs
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.
Playable disc types
This system has been designed to play back the following discs:
DVD VIDEO, Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD (SVCD), Audio
CD (CD), CD-R and CD-RW.
Example of playable DVD:
• 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.
If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,
“REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and
playback cannot start.
Discs you can play:
DVD VIDEO
Audio CD
CD-R
About files (tracks) and folders (groups) on the disc
This system can also play MP3 and JPEG 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”
VCD
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.
SVCD
CD-RW
• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD AUDIO, 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, 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.

About discs
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
Notes on MP3 files
• 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.
• 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 files recorded at 32 kbps to
320 kbps as a bit rate, and at 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz, 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.
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.
This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3 or JPEG
files are recorded on them.
Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3/JPEG
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/JPEG disc may be skipped or may
not be played normally.
•
Some files on a JPEG disc may be played distortedly.
Notes on MP3/JPEG discs
• MP3/JPEG 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”
JPEG: “.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”
• 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” or “STILL PICTURE”). (See
page 32.)
