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 place 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 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.
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.
Down-mixing
This is a process of remixing the multi-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.
HDCD (High-Definiton Compatible Digital)
HDCD-encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with 20 bits,
as compared with 16 bits for all other CDs.
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 [750 (720)p, 1125 (1080)i] from HDMI AV OUT
terminal. To enjoy high-definition video a high definition compatible
television is required.
MPEG4
A compression system for use on mobile devices or a network, that allows
highly efficient recording at a low bit rate.
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.
