    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

    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.

    or video CD format are recorded in the first 
    session, only the first session will be played 
    back.

    rear of the unit and will only play DVDs labeled 
    with the same 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.

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