Note on playback operations
of DVDs and VIDEO CDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO
CDs may be intentionally set by software
producers. Since this system playback DVDs
and VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents
the software producers designed, some playback
features may not be available. Also, refer to the
instructions supplied with the DVDs or VIDEO
CDs.
Music discs encoded with
copyright protection
technologies
This product is designed to playback discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with
copyright protection technologies are marketed
by some record companies. Please be aware that
among those discs, there are some that do not
conform to the CD standard and may not be
playable by this product.
Cautions when playing a disc
that is recorded in Multi
Session
• This system can playback Multi Session discs
when an MP3 audio track is contained in the
first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio
tracks recorded in later sessions can also be
played back.
• This system can playback Multi Session discs
when a JPEG image file is contained in the
first session. Any subsequent JPEG image
files recorded in later sessions can also be
played back.
• If audio tracks and images in Audio CD
format or VIDEO CD format are recorded in
the first session, only the first session will be
played back.
• When you playback Multi Session discs with
different formats in each session, the format
of the first session is recognized as the disc
type. Tracks in the second and subsequent
sessions are played back if they are the same
formats as the first session. However, in case
of Audio CD and VIDEO CD, even if the
tracks are present in the second and
subsequent sessions, only the tracks in the
first sessions are played back.
• CD-Rs and CD-RWs recorded in multi
session that have not ended by “closing the
system” are not supported.

1 Place the front speakers at an angle of
45 degrees from your listening
position.
2 Place the center speaker at about the
same height as the front speakers.
Align the center speaker with the front
speakers or place it slightly behind the front
speakers.
3 Place the surround speakers facing
each other at about 60 to 90 cm above
your listening position.
4 Place the subwoofer if you have
connected an optional sub woofer.
To obtain a better bass reproduction, we
recommend you to place the sub woofer on
a solid floor where resonance is unlikely to
occur.
Tip
You can enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound while
playing a DVDs. To adjust the speaker volume and
level, see page 40.
Notes
• Do not place the surround speakers on top of a TV.
This may cause distortion of the colors in the TV
screen.
• If you place the center speaker on the unit, be sure to
place it at the front side of the unit.
• Always place the sub woofer vertically, keeping it a
few centimeters away from the wall.
• If the sub woofer is placed in the center of a room, the
bass could be extremely weakened. This is due to the
influence of the standing wave of the room. If this
happens, move the sub woofer away from the center
of the room or eliminate the cause of the standing
wave, by placing a bookshelf against the wall, etc.
Speaker settings
To enjoy multi-channel source sound and Dolby
surround effects, adjust the speakers distance,
balance and level.
