Introduction

Notes on handling

7 Important cautions

Installation of the system

• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold; between 5°C and 35°C (23°F and 95°F).

• Leave sufficient distance between the system and the TV.

• Do not use the system in a place subject to vibration.

Power cord

• 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 (center unit only).

• When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the power cord.

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.

• 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 discs. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws.

Note about copyguard system

The discs are protected by copyguard system. When you connect the system to your VCR directly, the copyguard system activates and the picture may not be played back correctly.

7 Safety precautions

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.

When you are away

When away on travel or for other reasons for an extended period of time, disconnect the power cord plugs from the wall outlet.

Do not block the vents

Blocking the vents may damage the system.

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.

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 a fire or electrical shock.

This system can play finalized discs only.

Recorded with UDF Bridge format.

This system may not be able to play back a file if the file size is too large.

• It is possible to play back finalized +R/+RW (DVD Video Format only) discs. “DVD” lights on the display panel when a +R/+RW disc is loaded.

• This system accommodates the NTSC system, and also can play discs recorded with PAL system. Note that an PAL video signal on a disc is converted to the NTSC signal and output.

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the

“Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of

Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.

• 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.

DVD Logo is a trademark of DVD Format/Logo Licensing

Corporation.

Notes on DVD-R and DVD-RW

• This system does not support “multi-border” disc.

• This system does not support a disc recorded with DVD VR format.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

• This system can play CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded with ISO 9660 format.

• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 12 sessions).

• This system cannot play “packet write” 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.

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.

Some discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.

Unplayable discs

DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, SACD, etc.

Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers.

(See page 27.)

• 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.

* For WMA only

For 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.)

CAUTION

• If 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 qualified personnel.

DO NOT install the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to avoid unexpected damage from 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.

Precautions for daily use

• When moving the speakers, do not pull the speaker cords; otherwise, the speakers may fall over, causing damage or injury.

• Do not reproduce sounds at so high a volume that the sound is distorted; otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by internal heat buildup.

For TH-C60/TH-C50:

• When holding a speaker, always grasp the lower portion.

• Do not lean against the speakers, as the speakers could fall down or break, possibly causing an injury. Especially be careful that children do not lean against them.

Speaker layout

To obtain the best possible sound from this system, you need to place all the speakers except the subwoofer at the same distance from the listening position.

Center speaker

Front left speaker

Front right speaker

Powered subwoofer

Surround left speaker

Surround right speaker

If your speakers cannot be placed at the same distance from the listening position

You can adjust the delay time of the speakers. See “Delay menu

(DELAY)” on page 35.

NOTE

• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.

• The front and center 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 TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s 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.

• The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded.

If they are located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the speakers nearby the TV or monitor.

• Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.

Connecting a TV

• Distortion of picture may occur when connecting to the TV via a

VCR, or to a TV with a built-in VCR.

• You need to set “MONITOR TYPE” in the PICTURE menu correctly according to the aspect ratio of your TV. (See page 34.)

7 To connect a TV equipped with the HDMI terminal

HDMI connection allows you to enjoy high quality picture on your

HDMI equipped TV with high-definition digital video signals.

• You can select the type of video signal from 480p, 1080i, or 720p.

What is HDMI?

The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is the standard interface for the next-generation TV. By connecting this system and a TV with the HDMI cable, digital video signals and audio signals are transmitted through the cable. You can enjoy digital video and sound without AD/DA conversion with easy connection.

In addition, this system is compatible with HDCP (High-

Bandwidth Digital Content Protection), and HDCP contents can be viewed if you connect a HDCP compatible TV to this system.
