On placement
Do not place the system in an inclined
position or in locations that are extremely
hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking
adequate ventilation, or subject to vibration,
direct sunlight or a bright light.
Be careful when placing the unit or speakers
on surfaces that have been specially treated
(for example, with wax, oil, polish) as
staining or discoloration of the surface may
result.
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
lens inside the DVD player, and cause the
system to malfunction. In this situation,
remove the disc, and leave the system turned
on for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
On heat buildup
Heat buildup on the unit during operation is
normal and is not cause for alarm.
Do not touch the cabinet if it has been used
continuously at a high volume because the
cabinet may have become hot.
Do not obstruct the ventilation holes.
On the speaker system
e front speaker is magnetically shielded and
can be installed near a TV. Color irregularity
may still be observed, however on some types
of TV screens. In this situation, turn o the
TV, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and turn it back
on. Place the right speaker on the right side of
the unit and the le speaker on the le side of
the unit. If there is no improvement, move the
speakers far away from the TV.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Caution: If you leave a still video image
or on-screen display image displayed on
your TV for an extended period of time via
this system, you risk permanent damage
to your TV screen. Projection TVs are
especially susceptible to this.

Glossary
Album
Section of a music or picture piece on
a DATA CD or DATA DVD containing
MP3 audio tracks, JPEG image les.
Chapter
Subdivision of a title on a DVD VIDEO.
A title is composed of several chapters.
Dolby Digital
is sound format for movie theaters is
more advanced than Dolby Surround
Pro Logic. In this format, the surround
speakers output stereo sound with
an expanded frequency range and a
subwoofer channel for deep bass is
independently provided. is format is
also called “5.1” because the subwoofer
channel is counted as 0.1 channel (since
it functions only when a deep bass eect
is needed). All six channels in this format
are recorded separately to realize superior
channel separation. Furthermore, since
all the signals are processed digitally, less
signal degradation occurs.
DTS
Digital audio compression technology
that the Digital eater Systems, Inc.
developed. is technology conforms
to 5.1-channel surround. e surround
channel is stereo and there is discrete
subwoofer channel in this format. DTS
provides the same 5.1 discrete channels
of high quality digital audio. e good
channel separation is realized because the
all channel data is recorded discrete and
processed in digital.
DVD VIDEO
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of
moving pictures even though its diameter
is the same as an AUDIO CD.
e data capacity of a single-layer and
single-sided DVD VIDEO, at 4.7 GB
(Giga Byte), is 7 times that of an AUDIO
CD. Furthermore, the data capacity of a
dual-layer and single-sided DVD VIDEO
is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided
DVD VIDEO 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer
and double-sided DVD VIDEO 17 GB.
e picture data uses the MPEG 2
format, one of the worldwide standards
for digital compression technology. e
picture data is compressed to about 1/40
of its original size. e DVD VIDEO
also uses variable rate coding technology
that changes the data to be allocated
according to the status of the picture.
e audio data is recorded in Dolby
Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to
enjoy more realistic audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and
Parental Control functions are provided
with the DVD VIDEO.
DVD-RW
A DVD-RW is a recordable and
rewritable disc that is the same size as
a DVD VIDEO. e DVD-RW has two
dierent modes: VR mode and Video
mode. DVD-RWs created in Video
mode have the same format as a DVD
VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video
Recording) mode allow the contents to
be programmed or edited.

DVD+RW
A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable
and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a
recording format that is comparable to
the DVD VIDEO format.
File
A JPEG image le recorded on a DATA
CD or DATA DVD. (“File” is an exclusive
denition for this system.) A single le
consists of a single image.
Film based software, Video based
software
DVD VIDEOs can be classied as Film
based or Video based soware. Film
based DVD VIDEOs contain the same
images (24 frames per second) that are
shown at movie theaters. Video based
DVD VIDEOs, such as television dramas
or sitcoms, displays images at 30 frames
(or 60 elds) per second.
Interlace format (Interlaced scanning)
e Interlace format is the NTSC
standard method for displaying TV
images at 30 frames per second. Each
frame is scanned twice-alternately
between the even numbered scanning
lines and then odd numbered scanning
lines, at 60 times per second.
Multi-angle function
Various angles, or viewpoints of the video
camera, for a scene are recorded on some
DVD VIDEOs.
Multilingual function
Several languages for the sound or
subtitles in a picture are recorded on
some DVD VIDEOs.
Parental Control
A function of the DVD VIDEO to limit
playback of the disc by the age of the
users according to the limitation level in
each country. e limitation varies from
disc to disc; when it is activated, playback
is completely prohibited, violent scenes
are skipped or replaced with other scenes
and so on.
Playback Control (PBC)
Signals encoded on VIDEO CDs (Version
2.0) to control playback. By using menu
screens recorded on VIDEO CDs with
PBC functions, you can enjoy playing
simple interactive programs, programs
with search functions, and so on.
Progressive format (sequential
scanning)
In contrast to the Interlace format,
the progressive format can reproduce
50 60 frames per second by
reproducing all scanning lines (525
lines for the NTSC system, 625 lines
for PAL system). e overall picture
quality increases and still images, text
and horizontal lines appear sharper. is
format is compatible with the 525 or 625
progressive format.

Region Code
is system is used to protect copyrights.
A region code is allocated on each DVD
system or DVD VIDEO according to
the sales region. Each region code is
shown on the unit as well as on the disc
packaging. e system can play back
the discs that match its region code. e
system can also play back discs with the
“ ” mark. Even when the region code
is not shown on the DVD VIDEO, the
region limit may still be activated.
Scene
On a VIDEO CD with PBC functions,
the menu screens, moving pictures and
still pictures are divided into sections
called “scenes.”
Title
e longest section of a picture or a
music piece on a DVD VIDEO; a movie,
etc., for a picture piece on video soware,
or the entire album in audio soware.
Track
Section of a picture or a music piece on
a VIDEO CD, CD, or MP3. An album is
composed of several tracks (MP3 only).
VIDEO CD
A compact disc that contains moving
pictures.
e picture data uses the MPEG 1
format, one of the worldwide standards
for digital compression technology. e
picture data is compressed to about 1/140
of its original size. Consequently, a 12 cm
VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes
of moving pictures.
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio
data.
Sounds outside the range of human
hearing are compressed while the
sounds we can hear are not compressed.
VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the audio
information of conventional AUDIO
CDs.
ere are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
Version 1.1: You can play back only
moving pictures and sounds.
Version 2.0: You can play back high-
resolution still pictures and enjoy PBC
functions.
is system conforms to both versions.
