Note on playback operations
of DVDs and VIDEO CDs
SomeplaybackoperationsofDVDsandVIDEO
CDs may be intentionally set by software
producers. Since this system playback DVDs
and VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents
thesoftware producers designed,some playback
features may not be available. Also, refer to the
instructions supplied with the DVDs or VIDEO
CDs.
Note on DualDisc
This product is designed to play back discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which
mates DVD recorded material on one side with
digital audio material on the other side. Please
be aware that the audio side of a DualDisc may
not be played back on this product because these
discs do not conform to the CD standard.
“DualDisc” is a trademark of the Recording
Industry Association of America (RIAA).
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.
• Ifaudiotracks and images in audioCDformat
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 except for audio
CD and VIDEO CD format.
• CD-Rs and CD-RWs recorded in Multi
Session that have not ended by “closing the
session” are not supported.

There are 3 different ways to place the speakers.
If you have connected an optional sub woofer,
we recommend you to place the sub woofer on
solid floor where resonance is unlikely to occur
so that a better bass reproduction could be
obtained. To enjoy DVDs or to create a party
environment, we recommend that you place
your speakers as shown in Example 1.
Example 1
Place the speakers at an equal distance from
your listening position as shown below.
Example 2
Place the surround speakers on top of the front
speakers as shown below.
Example 3

place it at the front side of the unit.
• Always place the sub woofer vertically, keeping it a
few centimeters away from the wall.
• Ifthe subwoofer isplacedin the centerofaroom,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.
