CAUTION:
This DVD Receiver employs a Laser System.
To ensure proper use of this product, please read this owner’s manual carefully and retain it for future reference. Should the unit require maintenance, contact an authorized service location (see service procedure).
Performing controls, adjustments, or carrying out procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
To prevent direct exposure to laser beam, do not try to open the enclosure. Visible laser radiation when open. DO NOT
STARE INTO BEAM.
CAUTION: The apparatus should not be exposed to water
(dripping or splashing) and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus.
Precautions
Safety
• If anything falls into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the mains outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by the cord.
Installing
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.
• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation slots.
• Do not install the unit near heat sources such as radiators, or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.
• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only.
• Keep the unit and discs away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside the DVD Home Theatre
System and cause damage to the lenses. When you first install the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a warm location, wait for about 30 minutes before operating the unit.
On power sources
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.
On placement
• Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.
• At high volume, over long periods of time, the cabinet becomes hot to the touch. This is not a malfunction.
However, touching the cabinet should be avoided. Do not place the unit in a confined space where ventilation is poor as this may cause overheating.
• Do not block the ventilation slots by putting anything on the system. The receiver is equipped with a high power amplifier.
If the ventilation slots on the top surface are blocked, the unit can overheat and malfunction.
• Do not place the system on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
• Do not place the system in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
On operation
• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the system. Should this occur, the system may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the system turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates.
• When you move the system, take out any discs. If you don’t, the disc may be damaged.
The nameplate is located on the rear of the unit.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: This system is capable of holding a still video image or on-screen display image on your television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still video image or on-screen display image displayed on your TV for an extended period of time you risk permanent damage to your television screen. Projection televisions are especially susceptible to this.

Before Use (Continued)
Precautions
Handling the unit
When shipping the unit
The original shipping carton and packing materials may come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
When setting up the unit
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be disturbed during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.
To keep the exterior surfaces clean
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.
Cleaning the unit
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.
To obtain a clear picture
The DVD Receiver is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn, the picture quality will be poor.
Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.)
For details, please contact your nearest dealer.
Notes on Discs
Disc Handling
Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface.
Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
Storing discs
After playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can distort the picture or reduce sound quality. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre outwards.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl records.
This system can only play back a standard circular disc.
Using neither standard nor circular discs (e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause a malfunction.
Do not use a disc that has a commercially available accessory attached, such as a label or ring.

Speaker Positioning
In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front speakers, centre speaker, 2 surround speakers and subwoofer).
• Front speakers
According to your listening position set up the speakers for equal distance. And by hearing position set up the interval between speakers to 45 degree.
• Centre speaker
The centre speakers and front speakers are ideally the same height. But normally place it above or below the television.
• Surround speakers
Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround sound playback. For best results, do not install the surround speakers too far behind the listening position and install them at or above the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective to direct the surround speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.
In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall set the surround speakers opposite each other, and set the surround speakers above 60 - 90 cm than the listener’s ears.
• Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.

Surround mode
Sound Mode
You can enjoy surround sound simply by selecting one of the pre-programmed sound fields according to the program you want to listen to.
DTS
Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources such as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark. DTS Digital
Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio(which means identical to the original masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC.
Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.
DOLBY DIGITAL
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1
channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital program source. If you play DVDs with “ ” mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC
Use this mode when playing movie or Dolby Digital 2 channel which carries the “ ” mark. This mode provides the effect of being in a movie theatre or live concert house-an effect with an intensity which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO
LOGIC SURROUND. The effect of the front/back/left/right movement of the sound image, as well as the sense of fixed position in the sound image, is much clearer and more dynamic than before.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
PL II MOVIE mode:
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete
5.1-channel sound.
PL II MUSIC mode:
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings.

Notes on MP3 Files
About MP3
An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.
The DVD Receiver can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.
MP3 Disc compatibility with this DVD Receiver is limited as follows:
Sampling Frequency : only at 44.1kHz
Bit rate : within 32 - 320kbps
CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”
If you record MP3 files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, it is impossible to playback MP3 files.
A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.
File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate “.mp3” extension e.g. “********.mp3”.
Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ” etc.
Total number of files on the disc should be less than
650.
3 Use V / v to select a folder, and ENTER.
A list of files in the folder appears.
If a list of files contains another folder, repeat step 3 once more.
Tip
If you are in a file list and want to return to the Folder list, use the V / v to highlight and press ENTER to return to the previous menu screen.
4 Use V / v to select a track then press H (PLAY) or ENTER.
Playback starts.
During playback, the current track’s elapsed playing time will appear in the display window and menu.

Notes on JPEG Files
Depending upon the size and number of the JPEG files, it could take a long time for the DVD Receiver to read the disc’s contents. If you don’t see an on-screen display after several minutes, some of the files are too big — reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 2 mega pixels and burn another disc.
Total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 650.
Some disc may be incompatible due to different recording format or condition of disc.
When you are using software to burn the jpeg files into the CD-R, ensure that all the selected files have the “.jpg” extensions when copying into the CD layout.
If the files have “.jpe” or “.jpeg” extensions, please rename them as “.jpg” files.
File names without “.jpg” extension will not be able to be read by this DVD Receiver, even though the files are shown as JPEG image files in windows explorer.
