Safety precautions
Dear customer
Thank you for purchasing this product. For optimum
performance and safety, please read these instructions
carefully.
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight,
high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration.
These conditions can damage the cabinet and other
components, thereby shortening the unit’s service life.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can
overload the unit and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source
carefully when setting the unit up on a ship or other
places where DC is used.
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause
fire or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy
items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling
the AC mains lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause
electric shock.
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can
cause electric shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric
shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect
the unit from the power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain
flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is
interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any
other problem that is not covered in these instructions
occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead and contact your
dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock or
damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired,
disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the
power source if it is not to be used for a long time.
Operations in these instructions are described
mainly with the remote control, but you can
perform the operations on this unit if the controls
are the same.

This unit comes equipped with a Dolby Virtual Speaker circuit installed. Using just the supplied speakers and the
subwoofer, and by reproducing acoustic effects very similar to 5.1ch surround, you can enjoy a true “home theater”
experience even within a limited space.
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points:
Place speakers on flat secure bases.
Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows
with thick curtains.
For optional wall mount, refer to page 6.
]Note]
Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.
Notes on speaker use
Use only supplied speakers
Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound
quality will be negatively affected.
You can damage your speakers and shorten their
useful life if you play sound at high levels over
extended periods.
Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid
damage:
When playing distorted sound.
When the speakers are reverberating due to a
record player, noise from FM broadcasts, or
continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or
electronic instrument.
When adjusting the sound quality.
When turning the unit on or off.
Connect the supplied speakers and subwoofer to this
unit only. Do not attempt to connect the supplied
speakers and subwoofer to the external amplifier and
so on.
Caution
Do not touch the
front netted area of
the speakers. Hold
by the sides.
If irregular colouring occurs on your television
The front speakers are designed to be used close to a
television, but the picture may be affected with some
televisions and setup combinations.
If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.
The demagnetising function of the television should
correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers
further away from the television.

Preventing the front speakers from falling
You will need to obtain the appropriate screw
eyes to match the walls or pillars to which they
are going to be fastened.
Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning
the appropriate procedure when attaching to a
concrete wall or a surface that may not have
strong enough support. Improper attachment may
result in damage to the wall or speakers.
Attaching to a wall
You can attach the front speakers to a wall.
The wall or pillar on which the speakers are to be
attached should be capable of supporting 10 kg
per screw. Consult a qualified building contractor
when attaching the speakers to a wall. Improper
attachment may result in damage to the wall and
speakers.
1 Detach stand.
2 Drive a screw (not included) into the wall.
Ensure that the screw is positioned at least
70 mm away from the ceiling.
3 Fit the speaker securely onto the screw(s)
with the hole(s).
e.g.
Fitting speaker stands (not included)
(Front speakers only)
Ensure the stands meet these conditions before
purchasing them.
Note the diameter and length of the screws and the
distance between screws as shown in the diagram.
The stands must be able to support over 10 kg.
The stands must be stable even if the speakers
are in a high position.
e.g.
String (not included)
Thread from the wall to
the speaker and tie tightly.

when it is in standby mode (approx. 0.3 W). To save
power when the unit is not to be used for a long time,
unplug it from the household AC mains socket.

Tips for making data discs
When there are more than 8 groups, the eighth group onwards will be displayed on one vertical line in the menu screen.
There may be differences in the display order on the menu screen and computer screen.
This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.
Naming folders and files
(Files are treated as contents
and folders are treated as
groups on this unit.)
At the time of recording, prefix
folder and file names. This should
be with numbers that have an
equal number of digits, and
should be done in the order you
want to play them (this may not
work at times).
DVD-RAM
Discs must conform to UDF 2.0.
DVD-R/RW
Discs must conform to UDF bridge (UDF 1.02/
ISO9660).
This unit does not support multi-session. Only the
default session is played.
CD-R/RW
Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for
extended formats).
This unit supports multi-session but if there are many
sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the
number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.

Regarding DVD-Audio
Some 5.1 channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing ( page 41, Glossary) of all or part of their contents if this is
the manufacturer’s intention. When playing such discs, or such parts of the disc, unless the number of connected
speakers is the same as the disc’s channel specification, audio will not be output properly (e.g., part of the audio is
missing, 5.1 channel sound cannot be selected and audio is played in two channels). Refer to the disc’s jacket for
more information.
