- Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD-RW, DVD+RW) disc itself, some CD-R/RW (or DVD-RW, DVD+RW) discs cannot be played on the unit.
- Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.
- Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped or octagonal). It may result in malfunctions.
otes on DVDs and Video CDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers. As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to disc content designed by the software manufacturer, some playback features of the unit may not be available or other functions may be added.
Make sure to also refer to the instructions supplied with the DVDs and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business purposes may not be able to be played on the unit.

Precautions
Handling the unit
When shipping the unit
The original shipping carton and packing materials may come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
When setting up the unit
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be disturbed during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.
To keep the exterior surfaces clean
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.
Cleaning the unit
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.
To obtain a clear picture
The DVD/CD Receiver is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn, the picture quality will be poor.
Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.)
For details, please contact your nearest dealer.
Notes on Discs
Disc Handling

otes
- Be sure to match the speaker cable to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and - to -. If the cables are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack base.
- If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid excessive output on the speakers.
Aerial Connections
Connect the supplied FM/AM aerial for listening to the radio.
- Connect the AM Loop aerial to the AM aerial connector.
- Connect the FM Wire aerial to the FM aerial connector.
otes
● To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM Loop aerial away from the DVD/CD Receiver and other components.
- Be sure to fully extend the FM wire aerial.
● After connecting the FM Wire aerial, keep it as horizontal as possible
Connections (Continued)
Speaker Positioning
In the case of normal position use the 6 speakers (2 front speakers, centre speaker, 2 rear speakers and subwoofer).
If you want to play the excellent bass sound, DTS digital surround or Dolby Digital surround, you should connect a subwoofer.
- Front speakers
According to your listening position set up the speakers for equal distance. And by hearing position set up the interval between speakers to 45 degree.
- Centre speaker
The centre speakers and front speakers are ideally the same height. But normally place it above or below the television.
- Rear speakers
Place left and right behind the listening area. These speakers recreate sound motion and atmosphere required for surround sound playback. For best results, do not install the rear speakers too far behind the listening position and install them at or above the level of the listener's ears. It is also effective to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound.
In the case of a smaller room size, if the audience is near to the rear wall set the rear speakers opposite each other, and set the rear speakers above 60 - 90 cm than the listener's ears.
- Subwoofer
This can be placed in any front position.

Mini Glossary for Audio Stream & Surround mode
dts
Allows you to enjoy 5.1(or 6) discrete channels of high quality digital audio from DTS program sources such as discs, DVD and compact discs, etc.bearing the trademark. DTS Digital Surround delivers up to 6 channels of transparent audio(which means identical to the original masters) and results in exceptional clarity throughout a true 360 degree sound field. The term DTS is a trademark of DTS Technology, LLC. Manufactured under license from DTS Technology, LLC.
□□DIGITAL
The Dolby Digital surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from a Dolby Digital program source. If you play DVDs with "###" mark, you can enjoy even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.
PROLOGIC (II)
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
MOVIE mode:
The Movie mode is for use with stereo television shows and all programs encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.
MUSIC mode:
The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings.
MATRIX mode:
The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance mono signals by making them seem "larger." The Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder. The ultimate "cure" for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono.
BYPASS
Software with multichannel surround audio signals is played according to the way it was recorded.

Operation with Radio (Continued)
RDS Operation
This unit is equipped with RDS (Radio Data System), which brings a wide range of information to FM radio. Now in use in many countries, RDS is a system for transmitting station call signs or network information, a description of station programme type text message about the station or specifics of musical selection and the correct time.
RDS Tuning
When a FM station is tuned in and it contains RDS data, the unit will automatically display the station's call sign and the RDS indicator will light in the Display Window as well as indicators for the RDS services programme (PS), programme type recognition (PTY), Radiotext (RT) and Clock Time (CT) if transmitted by the station.
RDS Display Options
The RDS system is capable of transmitting a wide variety of information in addition to the initial call sign that appears when a station is first tuned. In normal RDS operation the display will indicate the station name, broadcast network or call letters. Pressing RDS on the remote control enables you to cycle through the various data types in the sequence:
(PS ↔ FREQUENCY ↔ PTY ↔ RT ↔ CT)
- PS (Programme Service name)- The name of the channel is shown in the Display Window.
- PTY (Programme type recognition)- The name of the programme type is shown in the Display Window.
- RT (Radiotext)- A "text" message contains special information from the broadcast station. Note that this message may scroll across the display to permit message.
- CT (Time controlled by the channel)- Enables the unit to receive the actual time and show it in the Display Window.
Note
- Some RDS stations may not choose to include some of these additional features. If the data required for the selected mode is not being transmitted, the Display Window will show a PTY NONE, RT NONE, CT NONE, PS NONE message.
Programme Search (PTY)
A major benefit of RDS is its ability to encode broadcasts with Programme Type (PTY) codes that indicate the type of material being broadcast. The following list shows the abbreviations used to indicate each PTY along with an explanation of the PTY.
