Additional Information
Learning More about This System
Connections
(see pages 3 to 5)
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords or the power cord. Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause poor reception.
• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the System.
• The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, it 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 instructions. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
• When a portable audio device is connected to the LINE IN jack, sound will come out of the speakers and headphones.
However, no sound will come out of the LINE OUT jack.
Daily Operations—Playback
(see pages 7 to 11)
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.
Listening to the TV Sound:
• When you use this function, connect the System and TV with the Scart cable.
Playing Back a Disc:
• 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. (When DVD
Video, DVD Audio or SVCD/VCD with PBC is loaded in the System, playback of the disc next to these discs will not start.):
Ex.: When DISC 2 is selected:
DISC 2
]
DISC 3
]
DISC 4
]
DISC 5
]
DISC 1
]
(then stops)
* When no disc is loaded on the disc tray, that disc number is skipped.
• You can exchange discs while playing or selecting another disc.
• Some DVD Audio discs prohibit downmix. When you playback such a disc, “LR ONLY” appears on the display and the System plays back the left front and right front signals.
• When playing back a DVD Audio disc recorded in MLP
(Meridian Lossless Packing; a lossless audio compression system that can completely recreate the PCM signal), the signals are recognized as the linear PCM signals, however, no indicator lights up on the display.
• This System can recognize up to 4 000 tracks in a disc.
Also, the System can recognize up to 150 tracks per group and up to 99 groups in a disc.
– If there are any unplayable files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total file number.
– Playable files which do not belong to any groups are handled as Group 1.

– This System can play only a disc of UDF-Bridge format.
– For details about DVD-VR format and playlist, refer to the manual of the recording equipment.
– You cannot use reverse slow motion, Program Play, or
Random Play.
• For MP3/WMA playback...
– MP3/WMA discs require a longer readout time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/ file configuration.)
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will be skipped. This results from their recording processes and conditions.
– This System can play only a disc of ISO 9660 Level 1 or
Level 2.
– This System can playback MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at a bit rate of 128 kbps.
This System cannot playback files made at a bit rate of less than 64 kbps.

Main Level)/SP@ML (Simple profile at Main Level)/
MP@LL (Main Profile at Low Level).
– Audio streams should conform to MPEG1 Audio layer-2 or MPEG2 Audio Layer-2.
• For ASF playback...
– This System can play back ASF files with the extension code <.asf> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).
– This System supports ASF files whose resolution is
352 x 288 pixels or less.

Playing Back a Portable Audio Device:
• When QP Link fails due to a weak sound signal from the
LINE IN jack, Auto Standby may turn the System off even if you can hear the sound from the speakers.
In such cases, adjust the volume level of the component louder so that the System can detect the sound signal properly.
• Changing from LINE to another source while QP Link works will deactivate QP Link temporarily.
In this case, the following reactivates QP Link:
– Pressing QP LINK on the remote control.
– Unplugging the component from the LINE IN jack, then plugging it again.
• If you press STANDBY to turn the System off or if preset Timer turns the System off while QP Link works, the
System will deactivate QP Link temporarily.
In such cases, the following reactivates QP Link:
– When no sound signal comes from the LINE IN jack for about 30 seconds after the System is turned off.
– When you turn on the power again.
• QP Link may start working when you just plug in the component to the LINE IN jack or unplug it. This is not a malfunction.

Handling discs
• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge while pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when placing it back in its case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperature, and moisture.
To clean the disc:
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.
Cleaning the System
• Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in waterdiluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
