    Notes about CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/
    DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW
    In some cases, CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-
    RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW cannot be played on 
    this system due to the recording quality or 
    physical condition of the disc, or the 
    characteristics of the recording device and 
    authoring software.
    The disc will not play if it has not been correctly 
    finalized. For more information, see the 
    operating instructions for the recording device.
    Note that some playback functions may not 
    work with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if 
    they have been correctly finalized. In this case, 
    view the disc by normal playback. Also some 
    DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in Packet 
    Write format cannot be played.
    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

    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.

    Inserting batteries into the remote
    You can control the system using the supplied remote. Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by matching 
    the 3 and # ends on the batteries to the markings inside the compartment. To use the remote, point it 
    at the remote sensor   on the unit.
    Note Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place. 
     Do not use a new battery with an old one.
     Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.
     Do not expose the remote sensor to direct sunlight or lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a malfunction. 
     If you do not intend to use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage 
    from battery leakage and corrosion.
    Attaching the foot pads to the subwoofer
    Attach the supplied foot pads to the bottom of the subwoofer to stabilize the subwoofer and prevent it 
    from slipping.

    1 Connecting 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 76.
    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: 3 to 3, and # to #. If the cords 
    are reversed, the sound will lack bass and may be distorted.

    Stripped speaker cord is touching 
    another speaker terminal.Stripped cords are touching each other 
    due to excessive removal of insulation.
