the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a

qualified service person if damage has occurred or if you

experience a sudden change in performance.

•Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using

methods other than those described in this manual.

Notes on speaker use

•You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you

play sound at high levels over extended periods.

•Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage.

–When playing distorted sound.

–When the speakers emit strange noise (howling) from a

microphone or record player, noise from FM broadcasts, or

continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic

instrument.

–When adjusting the sound quality.

–When turning the unit on or off.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

These speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but

the picture may be affected with some televisions and set-up

combinations.

If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes.

The television’s demagnetizing function should correct the problem.

If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

7Connecting a television with a VIDEO IN terminal

7Connecting a television with COMPONENT VIDEO IN terminals

7Connecting a television with an S VIDEO IN terminal

VIDEO OUT terminal

Do not connect the unit through a video cassette recorder, because

the picture may not be played correctly due to the copy guard.

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output

and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT terminal.

Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals

(PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high

fidelity in reproducing colors. The description of the component video

input terminals depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR,Y/

B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals of the same color.

To enjoy progressive video

1. Connect to the component video input terminals on a 480P

compatible television. (Video will not be displayed correctly if

connected to an incompatible television.)

2. In QUICK SETUP, set “Progressive Out” to “Enable”.

3. Change “Progressive” to “480P” (A page 21, Picture Menu—

Video Output Mode).

•All televisions manufactured by Panasonic that have 480P input

connectors are compatible. Consult the manufacturer if you have

another brand of television.

•If the unit is connected to the television through VIDEO OUT or

S VIDEO OUT, output will be interlace, irrespective of the settings.

S VIDEO OUT terminal

The S VIDEO terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO

OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y)

signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)

Tips for making WMA/MP3, CD text and JPEG discs

•Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended

formats).

•This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of

sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of

sessions to a minimum to avoid this.

Naming folders and files

At the time of recording, prefix folder and file

names with 3-digit numbers in the order you

want to play them (this may not work at times).

Files must have the extension:

“.WMA” or “.wma”

“.MP3” or “.mp3”

“.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg”

WMA

•You cannot play WMA files that are copy

protected.

MP3

•This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.

•Compatible sampling rate: 8, 11.02, 12, 16,

22.05, 24, 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.

Glossary

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This

is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby

Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can

also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can

be recorded on one disc using this method.

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 range

Dynamic 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 video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is

recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at, while

video is recorded at 30 frames per second.

Frame still and field still

Frames 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.

Interlace and progressive output

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines,

whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines.

This is called 480P. The video signals output from this unit’s

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals (Y, PB, PR) allow you to enjoy

higher quality pictures than if the signals were output from the VIDEO

OUT terminal or S VIDEO OUT terminal.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adapted for use with DVD-

Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

I: Intra coded picture

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when

adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-

pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on

CDs.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and

information with menus.

Sampling frequency

Sampling 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.

Tray/disc handling procedure

Not adhering to the following may cause problems.

Safety precautions

Placement

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.

Voltage

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 place where DC is used.

Power cord protection

Ensure the AC power cord 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

power cord can cause electric shock.

Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric

shock.

Foreign matter

Do not let metal objects fall inside the 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.

Service

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 power cord

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.

Maintenance

To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

•Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.

•Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that

came with the cloth carefully.

For a cleaner, crisper sound (cassette deck)

Clean the heads regularly to assure good quality playback and

recording. Use a cleaning tape (not included).
