Safety precautions
Safety precautions
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high 
temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These conditions 
can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby shortening the 
unit’s service life. 
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit and 
cause a fire. 
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when setting 
the unit up on a ship or other places where DC is used.
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged. Poor 
connection and lead damage can  cause fire or electric shock. Do not pull, 
bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC mains 
lead can cause electric shock. 
Do not handle the plug with wet hands . This can cause electric shock. Do not let metal objects fall inside t
he unit. This can cause electric shock 
or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit.  This can cause electric shock or 
malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the power 
supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain flammable 
gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted, 
indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not 
covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead and 
contact your dealer or an authorized  service center. Electric shock or 
damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or 
reconstructed by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power source if it 
is not to be used for a long time.

CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media) A copy protection system used for DVD-Audio files. This unit supports 
CPPM.
DecoderA decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is 
called decoding.
DivXDivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media files 
contain highly compressed video with high visual quality that maintains a 
relatively small file size.
Dolby DigitalThis is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby 
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also 
be 5.1-channel sound. 
Down-mixingThis is a process of remixing the  5.1-channel audio (surround sound) on 
some discs into two channels. When you want to listen to the audio on a 
DVD with a 5.1 channel digital surround track through your television 
speakers, the down-mixed audio will be output. 
Some DVD-Audio prevent down-mixing of all or part of their contents. 
When playing such discs, or such parts of the disc, unless the number of 
connected speakers is the same as the  disc’s channel specification, audio 
will not be output properly.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. 
There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects 
are possible.
Dynamic rangeDynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that 
can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of 
sound before distortion occurs.
Film and videoDVD-Videos are recorded using either  film or video. This unit can 
determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable method 
of progressive output.
Film: Recorded at 25 frames per second (PAL discs) or 24 frames per 
second (NTSC discs). (NTSC discs recorded at 30 frames per 
second as well.) 
Generally appropriate for motion picture films.
Video: Recorded at 25 frames/50 fields  per second (PAL discs) or 
30 frames/60 fields per second (NTSC discs). Generally 
appropriate for TV drama programs or animation. 
Frame still and field stillFrames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. 
There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these 
fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up 
of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall 
quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has  only half the information of a frame still 
so picture quality is lower.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic products. 
Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video 
and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports high-definition video 
output (720p, 1080i, 1080p) from the HDMI AV OUT terminal. To enjoy high-
definition video, a high-definition compatible television is required.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)This is a system used for compressing/decoding colour still pictures. The 
benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the 
degree of compression.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs. 
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately 
one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality.
MPEG4A compression system for use on mobile devices or a network, that allows 
highly efficient recording at a low bit rate.
Playback control (PBC)If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and 
information with menus.
Progressive/InterlacedThe PAL video signal standard has 576  interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas 
progressive scanning, called 576p, uses twice the number of scan lines. 
For the NTSC standard, these are called 480i and 480p respectively.
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video 
recorded on media such as DVD-Video.
Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.
Sampling frequencySampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog 
signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). 
Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger 
numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.
WMA (Windows MediaTM Audio)WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It 
achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller 
than that of MP3.
