@Insert
• If the AM loop antenna wire or speaker cords are covered
with vinyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the
arrtenna by twisting the vinyl.
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords arrd power cord. Also, keep the
arrtennas away from metallic parts of the System,
connecting cords, arrd the AC power cord. This could cause
poor reception.
To connect the speaker cords
Connect the right speaker to the RIGHT terminals, and tire
left speaker to the LEFT terminals.

In addition to the above discs, this system can play back audio
data recorded oil CD Text, CD-G (CD Graphics), and CD-Extra.
• The followiug discs cannot be played back:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-I (CD-I
Ready), CD-ROM, Photo CD. etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
• In this manual, "file" and "track" are interchangeably used
for MP3/WMA/JPEG operations.
*Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVDs have their own Region (;ode numbers.
This System cau play back ouly DVDs recorded with tile NTSC
color system whose Region Code numbers iucluding "1."
EX.:
DVDVide0--digital audioformats
The System can play back tile following digital audio
formats.
• Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, the same
format used for CDs and most studio masters.
• Dolby Digital: Compressed digital audio, developed by
Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode
to create the realistic surround sound.
• DTS (Digital Theater Systems): Compressed digital
audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which
enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the
compressiou ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.
When playing a multi-channel encoded DVD, the System
properly converts these nmlti-channel signals into 2
channels, and emits the downmixed sound from tile
speakers.
• To enjoy the powerful sound of these multi-channel
encoded DVDs, connect a proper decoder or an amplifier
with a proper built-in decoder to the digital output terminal
Oil tile re;.tr.
IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc, make sure of
the following...
•Turn on the TV and select all appropriate input mode on
the TV to view the pictures or on-screen displays on the
TV screen.
• For disc playback, you call change the Mtial setting to
your preference. See "Setup Menu Operations" on
