???Preventing the speakers from falling over ([HT840] [HT880])

Preparation

Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the wall (??? diagram below).

???You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.

???Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may not have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.

1Thread the string (not included) through the slot on the rear of the speaker to prevent it from falling over.

???Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be negatively affected.

???Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.

Main unit

[Note]

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.

Center speaker

???Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a

rack or shelf.

???To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place directly on top of the television.

Active subwoofer

Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it won???t cause vibration. Leave 10 cm at the rear for ventilation.

Caution

Do not stand on the base and shake the speaker.

Be cautious when children are near.

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 are reverberating due to a record player, a microphone (except [The[United[Kingdom,\Australia[and\N.Z.\), noise

from FM broadcasts, 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

The supplied speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup 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 farther away from the television.

Caution

???The main unit and supplied speakers are to be used only as indicated in this setup. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/or 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.

Tips for making WMA/MP3 and JPEG discs (For CD-R, CD-RW)

???Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended formats).

???This unit supports 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.

???When there are more than 8 groups, the eighth group onwards will be displayed on one vertical line in the menu screen.

???There may be differences in the display order on the menu screen and computer screen.

???This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.

[WMA]

???You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected. ???This unit does not support Multiple Bit Rate (MBR).

[MP3]

???This unit does not support ID3 tags.

???Compatible sampling rates: 8, 11.02, 12, 16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.

Naming folders and files

(Files are treated as content and folders are treated as groups on this unit.)

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???

Glossary

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVD???s 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.

Frame still and field still

RQT7978

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted 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.

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty.

Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the unit.
