Getting Started 

Before Installation 

General Precautions 

• DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit. 

• DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or 

cabinet. 

• DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture. 

Locations 

• Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from 

moisture. 

• The temperature around the unit must be between 5˚C and 35˚C. 

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor 

ventilation could cause overheating and damage the unit. 

Handling the unit 

• DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands. 

• DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug it. When unplugging 

the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord. 

• Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the 

antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It 

is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection, 

since it is well-shielded against interference. 

• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord, 

the preset settings such as preset FM or AM channels and sound 

adjustments may be erased in a few days. 

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control 

Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first. 

• When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at 

the remote sensor on the unit. 

1 On the back of the remote control, remove the 

battery cover. 

2 Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity: 

(+) to (+) and (–) to (–). 

Checking the Supplied Accessories 

Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories. 

The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces 

supplied. 

3 Replace the cover. 

• Remote Control (1) 

• Batteries (2) 

• AM Loop Antenna (1) 

• FM Antenna (1) 

If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately. 

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace 

the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries. 

CAUTION: 

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells: 

• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity: 

(+) to (+) and (–) to (–). 

• Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may 

differ in voltage. 

• Always replace both batteries at the same time. 

• Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) 

to Receive FM Stations 

What information can RDS signals provide? 

You can see the RDS signals the station sends on the display. 

RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their 

regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station 

names, as well as information about what type of program they 

broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. 

When tuned in to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the 

RDS indicator lights up on the display.

Switching to Broadcast Program of 

Your Choice Temporarily 

Another convenient RDS service is called “Enhanced Other 

Network.” 

This allows the unit to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of 

your choice (TA, NEWS, and/or INFO) from a different station 

except in the following cases: 

• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM stations, 

some FM stations and other sources). 

• When the unit is in standby mode or in TV Direct. 


• The Enhanced Other Network function is only applicable to preset 

stations. 

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly until the 

program type you want appears on the 

display. 

• Each time you press the button, the display changes to 

show the following: 

TA 

TA 

NEWS : News. 

INFO

TA/NEWS/INFO 

TA/NEWS 

: Traffic Announcement in your area. 

TA/NEWS/INFO 

TA/INFO 

NEWS/INFO 

: Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in 

the widest sense. 

How the Enhanced Other Network function actually works: 

CASE 1 

If there is no station broadcasting the program you have 

selected 

The unit continues tuning in the current station. 

« 

When a station starts broadcasting the program you have 

selected, the unit automatically switches to the station. The 

indicator of received PTY code starts flashing. 

« 

When the program is over, the unit goes back to the previously 

tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Network function still 

remains activated. 

CASE 2 

If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the 

program you have selected 

The unit continues to receive the station but the indicator of 

received PTY code starts flashing. 

« 

When the program is over, the indicator of received PTY code 

stops flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other Network 

function still remains activated. 

To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced Other 

Network 

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the program type 

(TA/NEWS/INFO) indicator goes off from the display. The unit 

exits from Enhanced Other Network standby mode and goes back to 

the previously selected station. 

When an emergency broadcast (Alarm ! signal) is sent from an 

FM station 

The unit automatically tunes in to the station except in the following 

cases: 

• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM stations, 

some FM stations and other sources). 

• When the unit is in standby mode or TV Direct. 

While receiving an emergency broadcast, “Alarm !” appears on the 

display. 

The TEST signal is used for equipment test—whether it can 

receive the Alarm ! signal correctly 

The TEST signal makes the unit work in the same way as the 

Alarm ! signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the unit 

automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal. 

While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the display. 

Notes: 

• Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may not be 

compatible with this unit. 

• Enhanced Other Network does not function for some FM stations 

with RDS service. 

• While listening to a program tuned in to by the Enhanced Other 

Network function, the station does not change even if another 

network station starts broadcasting a program of the same 

Enhanced Other Network data. 

• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other 

Network function, you can only use the TA/NEWS/INFO and 

DISPLAY as the tuner operation buttons. 

• If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned by 

the Enhanced Other Network function and the currently tuned 

station, press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly to cancel the Enhanced 

Other Network function. 

If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is 

received finally, and the indication of the Enhanced Other Network 

data type flashing on the display disappears.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields 

You can use the following Surround modes to reproduce a realistic 

sound field: 

■ Dolby Surround 

• Dolby Pro Logic II 

• Dolby Digital 

■ DTS Digital Surround 

■ DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes 

■ All Channel Stereo 

■ Dolby Surround 

Dolby Pro Logic II* 

Dolby Pro Logic II has newly developed multichannel playback 

format to decode into 5.1-channel from all 2-channel sources— 

stereo source and Dolby Digital encoded source. 

Matrix-based encoding/decoding method for Dolby Pro Logic II 

makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the rear treble and 

enables stereo rear sound compared to conventional Dolby Pro 

Logic. 

Dolby Pro Logic II enables to reproduce spacious sound from 

original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations. 

Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music mode: 

Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)—suitable for reproduction of 

Dolby Surround encoded sources bearing the mark DOLBY SURROUND 

and stereo television sources. You can enjoy sound field very close 

to the one created with discrete 5.1-channel sounds. 

Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)—suitable for reproduction of 

any 2-channel stereo music sources. You can enjoy wide and deep 

sound by using this mode. 

• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the PRO LOGIC II 


Dolby Digital* 

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software 

encoded with Dolby Digital ( D I G I T A L 

). 

• To enjoy the software encoded with Dolby Digital, connect the 

source component using the digital terminal on the rear of this 

unit. (See page 8.) 

Dolby Digital 5.1-channel encoding method (so-called discrete 

multichannel digital audio format) records and digitally compresses 

the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear 

channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel signals. 

Since each channel is completely independent from the other 

channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain much better 

sound quality with much stereo and surround effects. 

■ DTS Digital Surround** 

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software 

encoded with DTS Digital Surround ( ). 

• To enjoy the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround, 

connect the source component using the digital terminal on the 

rear of this unit. (See page 8.) 

DTS Digital Surround is another discrete multichannel digital 

audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. 

Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression ratio is relatively 

low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth 

and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital 

Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.

■ DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes 

Right front 

speaker 

DAP modes have been designed to create important acoustic 

surround elements. 

The sound heard in a live club, dance club, hall or pavilion consists 

of direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and reflections 

from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any 

reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the 

distances of the ceiling and walls (see the diagram on the next page). 

These indirect sounds are important elements of the acoustic 

surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound 

field by adding these indirect sounds. 

DAP modes can be used when the front and rear speakers are 

connected to this unit (without respect to the center speaker 

connection: no sound comes out of the center speaker even if it is 

connected). 

Note: 

• Dolby Digital or DTS software can be roughly grouped into two 

categories 

—multichannel (up to 5.1-channel) and 2-channel software. To 

enjoy surround sounds while playing Dolby Digital 2-channel or 

DTS software, you can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

Realistic Sound Fields 

The following DAP modes are provided for this unit: 

LIVE CLUB : Gives the feeling of a live music club with a low 

ceiling. 

DANCE CLUB : Gives a throbbing bass beat. 

HALL 

PAVILION 

: Gives clear vocal and the feeling of a concert 

hall. 

: Gives the spacious feeling of a pavilion with a 

high ceiling. 

These DAP modes can be used to add the acoustic surround effects 

while reproducing 2-channel stereo software, either analog or Linear 

PCM digital signal, and can give you a real “being there” feeling. 

• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights 

up on the display. 

■ All Channel Stereo 

This mode can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the 

connected (and activated) speakers. 

All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and rear 

speakers are connected to this receiver without respect to the 

center speaker connection. 

If the center speaker is connected and activated, the same phases of 

the front left and right signals are mixed and output through the 

center speaker. 

All Channel Stereo can be used while reproducing 2-channel stereo 

software, either analog or Linear PCM digital signal. 

• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up

Disc Information 

7 Playable Disc Types 

This unit has been designed to play back the following discs: 

DVD VIDEO, Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD (SVCD), audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW. 

• This unit can also play back MP3 and JPEG files recorded on CD-R and CD-RW. For details about MP3, see “MP3 Disc Playback” on 

pages 47 and 48 and about JPEG, see “JPEG Disc Playback” on pages 49 and 50. 

• This instruction refers to Video CD as VCD, Super Video CD as SVCD, and audio CD as CD. 

Discs you can play: 

Disc Type 

DVD VIDEO VCD SVCD CD CD-R CD-RW 

Mark (Logo) 

COMPACT 

DIGITAL AUDIO 

• The following discs cannot be played back: 

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

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

• On some DVD VIDEO, VCD, or SVCD, their actual operations may be different from what is explained in this manual. This is due to the 

disc programming and disc structure, but not a malfunction of this unit. 

Note on Region Code 

DVD players and DVD VIDEO have their own Region Code 

numbers. This unit can play back only DVD VIDEO recorded 

with the color system of PAL whose Region Code numbers 

include “2.” 

Ex. : 

If a DVD VIDEO with the wrong Region Code numbers is 

loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV and 

playback cannot start. 

IMPORTANT : Before playing a disc, make sure of the 

following... 

• Check the connection with the TV. 

• Turn on the TV and select the correct input mode on the TV to 

view the pictures or on-screen indications on the TV screen. 

• For disc playback, you can change the initial setting to your 

preference. (See pages 51 to 59.) 

If “ ” appears on the TV screen when you press a button, 

the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do, or 

data required for that operation is not recorded on the disc. 

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW 

• User-edited CD-R (Recordable) and CD-RW (ReWritable) can 

be played back only if they are already “finalized.” 

• The unit can play back CD-R or CD-RW recorded on a 

personal computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD 

format. 

The unit can also play back CD-R or CD-RW if MP3 files or 

JPEG files are recorded on them. 

However, they may not be played back because of their disc 

characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on 

them. Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an 

MP3 disc or a JPEG disc is determined by the writing 

(encoding) software and hardware used for recording. 

Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the 

following symptoms may occur: 

– Some discs may not be played back. 

– Some tracks on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not be 

played back normally. 

– Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly. 

• Before playing back CD-R or CD-RW, read their instructions 

or cautions carefully. 

• CD-RW may require a longer readout time. It is caused by the 

fact that the reflectance of CD-RW is lower than for regular 

audio CD.

MP3 Disc Playback 

This unit can play back MP3 files on a CD-R or CD-RW. We call such a disc “MP3 disc” in this instruction. 

• Before using the remote control, press DVD to change the remote control operation mode for the MP3 disc operations. 


If “ 

” appears on the TV when you press a button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do. 

What is MP3? 

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or 

MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data 

compression. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can 

contain about 10 times as many songs as a regular CD can. 

Disc structure 

On an MP3 disc, each song (material) is recorded as a file. Files 

are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other 

folders, creating hierarchical folder layers. 

This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and 

manages files and folders by “tracks” and “groups.” 

Up to 99 groups 


You can also use the buttons on the front panel if they have the 

similar names as those on the remote control.

ignores the tracks whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the 

groups whose numbers are exceeding 99, they cannot be played 

back. 

• If there are any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder, 

those files are also counted in the total file number. 

Notes: 

• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time 

than normal discs. (It depends on the complexity of the folder/file 

configuration.) 

• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 

as the disc format. 

• This unit supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 sessions). 

• This unit cannot play “packet write” discs. 

• This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file 

extensions: “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.” 

• ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display. 

* An MP3 file can contain file information called “ID3 Tag” where 

its album name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded. There 

are two versions—ID3v1 (ID3 Tag version 1) and ID3v2 (ID3 

Tag version 2). 

• It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at sampling rate 

of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. The unit cannot play back 

the files made at bit rate of under 64 kbps. 

• If both MP3 files and JPEG files are recorded on a disc, set the 

MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE menu to “MP3.” 

(See page 54.) 

• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc 

characteristics or recording conditions.

JPEG Disc Playback 

This unit can play back JPEG files on a CD-R or CD-RW. We call such a disc “JPEG disc” in this instruction. 

• Before using the remote control, press DVD to change the remote control operation mode for the JPEG disc operations. 


If “ 

” appears on the TV when you press a button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do. 

What is JPEG? 

A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint 

Photographic Expert Group, which features little distortion in 

image quality in spite of its high compression ratio. 

Disc structure 

On a JPEG disc, each still picture (material) is recorded as a file. 

Files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include 

other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers. 

This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and 

manages folders by “groups.” 

Group 1 

File 1 File 2 

Up to 150 files 

Up to 99 groups 

Group 2 

Group 3 Group 4 Group 5 

This unit can recognize up to 150 files per group and up to 99 

groups per disc (up to 14,850 files in total). Since the unit ignores 

the files whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the groups whose 

numbers are exceeding 99, they cannot be played back. 

• If there are any type files other than JPEG files in a folder, those 

files are also counted in the total file number. 

Notes: 

• JPEG discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout 

time than normal discs. (It depends on the complexity of the 

folder/file configuration.) 

• When making a JPEG disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 

as the disc format. 

• This unit supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 sessions). 

• This unit cannot play “packet write” discs. 

• The unit can play JPEG files only with the following file 

extensions: “.jpg,” “.jpeg,” “.JPG,” “.JPEG” and any uppercase and 

lowercase combinations (such as “.Jpg”). 

• It is recommended you 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 shown.) 

• If both JPEG files and MP3 files are recorded on a disc, set the 

MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE menu to “JPEG.” 

(See page 54.) 

• This system can play only baseline JPEG files*. Progressive 

JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played. 

* – Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web, etc. 

– Progressive JPEG format: Used for web. 

– Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now. 

• Some JPEG discs may not be played back because of their disc 

characteristics or recording conditions. 

Slide-show Playback 

You can play back the still pictures one after another automatically 

—slide-show playback.

Glossary for DVD Player 

Aspect ratio 

The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The 

horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3 and that of 

wide-screen TVs is 16:9. 

Chapter 

The smallest division on DVD VIDEO. It is a division of a title and 

similar to a track for CD or VCD. 

Composite video signal 

A video signal comprised of three kinds of signals combined: an 

image signal made up of luminance and chrominance signals using 

the frequency multiplication technique, burst signal providing the 

basis for color reproduction, and synchronization signal. 

Component video signal 

A video signal system where parts of information necessary for 

reproducing image signal comprised of the three primary colors of 

light are transmitted via separate signal lines. Types of signal, such 

as R/G/B, Y/PB/PR, etc., are available. 

Disc menu 

A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images, sounds, 

subtitles, multi-angle, etc. recorded on DVD VIDEO. 

JPEG 

A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint 

Photographic Expert Group, which features little distortion in image 

quality in spite of its high compression ratio. 

Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation) 

A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for 

later processing with no data compression used in conversion. 

Letter box 

A method of displaying wide images like movies in on a 4:3 TV 

screen with no part of the image deleted by placing black bands on 

the top and bottom of the screen. This name has derived from the 

screen form looking literally like a letter box. 

MP3 

A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the 

abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio 

Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 

about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can. 

Multichannel 

DVD VIDEO has been designed to have each soundtrack constitute 

one sound field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks 

having three or more channels. 

Multilanguage 

When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is 

generally called a multilanguage title. 

Parental Lock 

A feature of this system to automatically determine whether or not 

to reproduce particular DVD VIDEO software by comparing its 

parental level (a measure of undesirability of scenes, etc. from 

educational viewpoint) set for the software beforehand with that set 

on this system by the user; if the software’s level is less restrictive 

than the user-set level, it will be reproduced. 

Playback control (PBC) 

Refers to the signal recorded on VCD/SVCD for controlling 

reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on VCD/SVCD that 

supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as 

software having a search function. 

Region code 

A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the regions 

designated beforehand. All the countries in the world are divided 

into six regions and each region is identified by a specified region 

code (or region number). If the region code of a disc matches that of 

a player, the player can play back the disc. 

Surround 

A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of realism 

by arranging multiple speakers around the listener. 

Sampling frequency 

Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted to digital 

data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how many times 

the original analog signal is sampled per second. 

Transfer rate 

The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in bit per 

second (bps). The DVD system applies a variable transfer rate 

system for high efficiency. 

Multi-angle 

By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in a 

single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is called the 

multi-angle function.
