DVD audio discs are not compatible. • CDs (Audio CDs, CD-R, CD-RW, mp3 discs) - Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only. mp3 discs are CDs (CD-R or CD-RW) that contain mp3 files. This product also plays CDs that contain JPEG and WMA files and Multisession CDs. • Video CD (VCD) - Like DVD video discs, VCDs contain picture and sound content. The difference is the amount of information that can be stored on the disc. VCDs typically have lower picture and sound quality than DVD discs. You must use DVD±R or DVD±RW discs to record on your DVD recorder not VCDs. Things to consider before you connect Protect components from overheating • Don't block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely. • Don't stack components. • When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation. • If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf. Position cables properly to avoid audio interference • Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack. • If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV. 2 Graphics contained within this publication are for representation only.
