Music discs encoded with
copyright protection
technologies
This product is designed to play back 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.
Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which
mates DVD recorded material on one side with
digital audio material on the other side.
However, since the audio material side does not
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard,
playback on this product is not guaranteed.
About Multi Session CD
• This system can play Multi Session CDs 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 play Multi Session CDs 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 music CD format
or video CD format are recorded in the first
session, only the first session will be played
back.
Region code
Your system has a region code printed on the
rear of the unit and will only play DVDs labeled
with the same region code.
DVD VIDEOs labeled will also play on this
system.
If you try to play any other DVD VIDEO, the
message [Playback prohibited by area
limitations.] will appear on the TV screen.
Depending on the DVD VIDEO, no region code
indication may be given even though playing the
DVD VIDEO is prohibited by area restrictions.
Note about 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 plays DVDs and
VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents the
software producers designed, some playback
features may not be available. Be sure to read the
operating instructions supplied with the DVDs
or VIDEO CDs.

1Connecting the Speakers
Required cords
The connector and color tube of the speaker cords are the same color as the label of the jacks to be
connected.
Note
• Do not catch the speaker cord insulation in the SPEAKER jack.
To avoid short-circuiting the speakers
Short-circuiting of the speakers may damage the system. To prevent this, be sure to follow these
precautions when connecting the speakers. Make sure the bare wire of each speaker cord does not touch
another speaker terminal or the bare wire of another speaker cord, such as shown below.
After connecting all the components, speakers, and AC power cord (mains lead), output a test tone to
check that all the speakers are connected correctly. For details on outputting a test tone, see page 64.
If no sound is heard from a speaker while outputting a test tone, or a test tone is output from a speaker
other than the one currently displayed on the Setup Display, the speaker may be short-circuited. If this
happens, check the speaker connection again.
Note
• Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: 3to 3, and #to #. If the cords
are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.

Positioning the speakers
For the best possible surround sound, all the
speakers other than the subwoofer should be
placed at the same distance from the listening
position (A).
However, this system allows you to place the
center speaker up to 1.6 meters (5 ft) closer (B)
and the surround speakers up to 5.0 meters (16
ft) closer (C) to the listening position.
The front speakers can be placed from 1.0 to
7.0 meters (3 to 23 ft) (A) from the listening
position.
Place speakers as illustrated below.
Note
• Do not set the speakers in an inclined position.
• Do not place the speakers in locations that are:
– Extremely hot or cold
– Dusty or dirty
– Very humid
– Subject to vibrations
