• Do not push the stripped part too far into the speaker connectors.
Placement of speakers play an important role in the reproduction of surround
sound.
Particular attention should be taken when designing the speaker layout. For
the best surround effects, all speakers should be installed.
A typical room layout will have the left, center, and right speakers placed
across the front and the left surround and right surround speakers placed
along the sides towards the rear as shown in the above left picture. The
center speaker can be positioned above or below the video screen or TV. A
subwoofer can be installed for powerful bass sounds and can be positioned
anywhere in the room.
The ‘speaker to listener dimensions’ shown in the above right picture is
used for proper setup of the surround system
Note:
• Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of +/- speaker
terminals.
• Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers
supplied.

While advances have been made to ensure that your disc player is compatible
with the largest number of discs possible, it cannot be guaranteed that you will
be able to play discs which might not be compliant with audio CD standards. In
the case of writable and rewritable discs, compatibility with this player depends
on the CD/DVD writer, the right software and the disc used.
DVD-Video
Digital video discs - 12 cm and 8 cm, single or double sided, single or dual
layer. DVDs are high-density optical discs on which high quality picture and
audio are recorded by means of digital signals.
DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW
Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording only), DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs
(rewritable), depending on the DVD writer and discs used. Recordings using
DVD-R and DVD-RW discs must be made in Video DVD mode. Recordings
using DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with the specifications
for DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB capacity.
Video CD(VCD)
VCD stands for Video Compact Disc which contains video footage, still images,
audio tracks and interactive menus.
Audio CDs
Audio CDs (8 and 12 cm).
CD-R & CD-RW
Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW discs (rewritable). This player
can play most CD-R discs. CD-Rs written during a multi-session recording can
also be played, provided that the session has ended before the disc is played
(depending on the write software). However, depending on the condition of the
CD writer, computer and the disc used, you may find that not all discs will play
successfully. When playing a CD-R disc, it is completely normal for the unit to
take up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc before starting to play. If the disc is
not recognized after a period of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and then insert it
again.
• Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of the CD-R, do not use its full
capacity.
• CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in
certain cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty.
• Use reliable, good-quality CD writing software.
• Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc
recording.
MP3 Files
CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio files in MP3 format. As for CD-R
MP3 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, along with the
comments below:
• Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format. ISO 9660 format and
Joliet MP3 files are compatible with Microsoft’s DOS and Windows, as well as
with Apple Mac. These two formats are the most widely used.
• MP3 filenames should not exceed 12 characters, and should end with the
“.MP3” extension. General name format: “Title.MP3”. When composing your
title ensure that you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and
avoid the use of special characters including ( . , / , \ , = ,+).
• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128kB/sec (kilobytes/second)
when recording MP3 files. Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on
the rate of compression / decompression you choose. Obtaining audio CD
quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is converted to MP3
format, of at least 128kB/sec and up to 160kB/sec. Choosing higher rates,
such as 192 kB/sec or more, will rarely produce better sound quality.
Conversely, files with sampling rates below 128kB/sec will not play properly.
• Do not try recording copyright-protected MP3 files. “Secured” files are
encrypted and code-protected to prevent illegal copying. You must not copy
such files.
Important:
The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player
will play MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note
that certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent
optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (i.e. degraded sound quality
and even, in some cases, inability of the player to read the file).
WMA Files
CD-R with WMA files. Usable format similar to MP3 files; also see “MP3
Files” for reference.
JPEG Files
CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG files. Certain JPEG files, including progressive
JPEG files, cannot be read by this player.
MPEG 4 Files
CD-R and CD-RW disc containing video files in MPEG 4 format, with stereo audio
output only.
As for CD-R MPEG 4 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R
above, along with the comments below:
• Your MPEG 4 files should be ISO format without QPEL.
• MPEG 4 filenames should not exceed 12 characters, and should end with the
“.avi” extension. General name format: “Title.avi”. When composing your title
ensure that you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid
the use of special characters including ( . , / , \ , = ,+).
Important:
The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player
will play MPEG 4 recordings, or as an assurance of video quality. You should
note that certain technologies and methods for MPEG 4 file recording on CD-Rs
prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (i.e. In some cases,
inability of the player to read the file, or playback the file normally).
Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW, DVD+R/
RW or DVD-R/RW disc itself, some discs can not be played on the unit.
