About S-AIR function
 As the S-AIR function transmits sound by radio 
waves, sound may skip when radio waves are 
obstructed. This is a characteristic of radio waves and 
is not malfunction.
 As the S-AIR function transmits sound by radio 
waves, equipment that generates electromagnetic 
energy, such as a microwave oven, may interfere with 
sound transmission.
 As the S-AIR function uses the radio waves that share 
the same frequency as other wireless systems, such as 
wireless LAN or Bluetooth, interference or poor 
transmission may result. In this case, take the 
following steps:
– Do not install the system near other wireless 
systems.
– Do not use the system and the other wireless 
systems at the same time.
 The transmission distance differs depending on the 
usage environment. Find a location where 
transmission between the S-AIR main unit and sub 
unit is most effective, and install the S-AIR main unit 
and sub unit there.

Notes about the Discs
On handling discs
 To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its 
edge. Do not touch the surface.
 Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
 Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or 
heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in 
a car parked in direct sunlight as the 
temperature may rise considerably inside the 
car.
 After playing, store the disc in its case.
On cleaning
 Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning 
cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
 Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, 
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static 
spray intended for vinyl LPs.
This system can only play back a standard 
circular disc. Using neither standard nor circular 
discs (e.g., card, heart, or star shape) may cause 
a malfunction.
Do not use a disc that has a commercially 
available accessory attached, such as a label or 
ring.
IMPORTANT NOTICECaution: This system is capable of holding a still 
video image or on-screen display image on your 
television screen indefinitely. If you leave the still 
video image or on-screen display image displayed 
on your TV for an extended period of time you risk 
permanent damage to your television screen. 
Projection televisions are especially susceptible to 
this.

system.
 Check the output method on your system (page 57).
 Re-connect the connecting cord securely.
 The unit is connected to an input device that is not HDCP (High-bandwidth 
Digital Content Protection) compliant (“HDMI” on the front panel does not 
light up) (page 57).
 When playing a double-layer DVD, the video and audio may be momentarily 
interrupted at the point where the layers switch.
No picture appears when the 
video output resolution selected 
in [Output Video Format] is 
incorrect. Press and hold H and A on the unit for more than 5 seconds to reset the video 
output resolution to the lowest resolution.

 If the picture output from your system goes through your VCR to get to your 
TV, the copy-protection signal applied to some BD/DVD programs could affect 
picture quality. If you still experience problems even when you connect your 
unit directly to your TV, try connecting your unit to the other input jacks 
(page 57).
Even though you set the aspect 
ratio in [TV Type] of [Video 
Settings], the picture does not fill 
the TV screen. The aspect ratio on the disc is fixed.

TV screen. If the speakers are used with a CRT-based TV or projector, install the speakers 
at least 0.3 meters (1.0 ft) from the TV set.
 If the color irregularity persists, turn off the TV set once, then turn it on after 15 
to 30 minutes.
 If howling occurs, reposition the speakers farther away from the TV set.
 Make sure that no magnetic object (magnetic latch on a TV stand, health care 
device, toy, etc.) is placed near the speakers.
