*2 MP3, WMA, and JPEG files are supported on discs recorded in
ISO 9660 Level 2 or Joliet format. (See “MP3/WMA/JPEG
Compatibility” on page 9 for more details.) However, some
CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW discs may not work properly for any of the following reasons: incomplete disc finalization, disc burner characteristics, disc characteristics, the disc is damaged or dirty, the disc contains only a small amount of data. Discs that contain different types of files, JPEG, MP3,
WMA, DivX, and so on, are not supported. See the manual supplied with your disc burner for more information. Condensation or dirt on the optical pickup lens can also affect playback.
*3 Some audio CDs feature copy protection that doesn’t conform to the official CD standard. Since these are nonstandard discs, they may not play properly in the DVD receiver.
• Don’t use discs that have residue from adhesive tape, rental discs with peeling labels, or discs with custommade labels or stickers. Doing so may damage the
DVD receiver and you may not be able to remove the disc properly.

Handling Discs
• Never touch the underside of a disc. Always hold discs by the edge, as shown.
Underside
• Never attach adhesive tape or sticky labels to discs.
Copyright
It is forbidden by law to copy, broadcast, show, broadcast on cable, play in public, or rent copyrighted material without permission.
DVD-Video discs are copy-protected, and any recordings made from these discs will be distorted.
This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by
Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright-protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only, unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.
Cleaning Discs
• For best results, keep your discs clean. Fingerprints and dust can affect the sound and picture quality and should be removed as follows. Using a clean soft cloth, wipe from the center outwards, as shown. Never wipe in a circular direction.
✔
• To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a damp soft cloth, and then dry it with a dry cloth.
• Never use solvent-based cleaning fluids, such as thinner or benzine, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic sprays intended for vinyl records, because they may damage the disc.
Storing Discs
• Don’t store discs in places subject to direct sunlight, or near heat sources.
• Don’t store discs in places subject to moisture or dust, such as in a bathroom or near a humidifier.
• Always store discs in their cases and vertically. Stacking, or putting objects on unprotected discs may cause warping, scratches, or other damage.

Connecting the DVD receiver
Placing the Speakers
Front Left and Right Speakers
• Place the front left and right speakers symmetrically and so that the distance from the listening position is the same.
• When placing speakers, direct the speakers toward the position of the listener’s ears where the listener sits to enjoy music or movies.
• Place the two speakers so that the heights of the two speakers are aligned. The ideal height for the speakers is the height of the listener’s ears.
FL
TV or screen
FR
FL: Front left speaker
FR: Front right speaker
Subwoofer
Using a subwoofer greatly improves the volume level and sound quality of bass sounds. The subwoofer effect depends not only on the listening position but also on the shape of the listening room.
• In general, place the subwoofer in a corner of the room or at a point 1/3 the width of the room.
• Play a movie or music that contains high quality bass sounds to determine the subwoofer placement.
Change the subwoofer’s position and check the effect, then select the position where the bass sounds are best heard.
Connecting Your Speakers
Speaker Connection Precautions
Read the following before connecting your speakers:
• You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure to set the speaker impedance to
“4 : ~16 : ” (see page 18). If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the DVD receiver at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in protection circuit may be activated.
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive
(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals only to negative (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
• Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires.
Doing so may damage the
DVD receiver.
• Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the DVD receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the DVD receiver.
• Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the DVD receiver.
• Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna
If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.
Notes:
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic or loft.
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated well away from power lines and other high-voltage equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.
■ Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.
Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna
If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied
AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.
