Operating Instructions
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT
This product is intended to provide turn by turn instructions to get
you to a desired destination. Please make certain that all persons
using this navigation system carefully read these precautions and the
following instructions fully.
• This product is not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any
route suggestions made by this navigation system may never
supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment
and/or knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not follow route
suggestions if the navigation system instructs you to perform an
unsafe or illegal maneuver, places you in an unsafe situation, or
routes you into an area which you consider unsafe.
• Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If
prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, pull over in a safe
and legal manner and location.
• Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any
functions requiring a prolonged view of the monitor and/or
remote control while you are driving. Pull over in a safe and legal
manner and location before attempting to access the system.
• Do not use the navigation system to route you to emergency
services. Not all locations of emergency services such as police
and fire stations, hospitals and clinics are contained in the
database. Please use your own judgment and ask for directions in
these situations.
• The map database used in the navigation system is the most
recent map data available at the time of production. Because of
changes in streets and neighborhoods, there may be situations
where the navigation system is not able to route you to your
desired destination. In these cases, use your own judgment.
• The map database is designed to provide you with route
suggestions and does not take into account the relative safety of a
suggested route or of factors which may affect the time required
to reach your destination. The system does not reflect road
closures or construction, road characteristics (i.e. type of road
surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), traffic
congestion, weather conditions, or any other factors which may
affect the safety or timing of your driving experience. Use your
own personal judgment if the navigation system is unable to
provide you with an alternate route.
• There may be situations where the navigation system displays the
vehicle’s location erroneously. Use your own driving judgment in
this situation, taking into account current driving conditions.
Please be aware that in this situation the navigation system
should correct the vehicle’s position automatically. However,
there may be times where you may have to correct the position
yourself. If this is the case, pull over in a safe and legal manner
and location before attempting operation.
• Make certain that the volume level of the navigation system is set
to a level which still allows you to hear outside traffic and
emergency vehicles.
If there is anything in the manual about the operation of the
navigation system which you are uncertain about, please
contact your local Alpine authorized navigation dealer or
Alpine at 1-888-NAV-HELP (1-888-628-4357) before using the
navigation system.
FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These

will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from

• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician.
Points to Observe for Safe Usage
• Read this manual carefully before using this disc and the system
components. They contain instructions on how to use this product
in a safe and effective manner. Alpine cannot be responsible for
problems resulting from failure to observe the instructions in this
manual.
• This manual uses various pictorial displays to show you how to use
this product safely and to alert you to potential dangers resulting
from improper connections and operation. Following are the
meanings of these pictorial displays. It is important to fully
understand the meanings of these pictorial displays in order to use
this manual and the system properly.
• This product may be used with software applications. Please follow
all usage instructions and warnings when using this product at all
times. Do not use this product or any software application in a
manner which will hinder safe operation of your vehicle.
• This product may be used in conjunction with the Alpine KAC-001
External Accessory Control module, which works with various
accessory products manufactured by third parties. Please review
and follow all manufacturer's instructions and warnings for all
accessory products.
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
8-EN
INSTALL THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY SO THAT THE DRIVER CANNOT WATCH
TV/VIDEO UNLESS THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND THE EMERGENCY
BRAKE IS APPLIED.
It is dangerous for the driver to watch TV/Video while driving a
vehicle. Installing this product incorrectly enables the driver to
watch TV/Video while driving. This may cause a distraction,
preventing the driver from looking ahead, thus causing an accident.
The driver or other people could be severely injured.
DO NOT WATCH VIDEO WHILE DRIVING.
Watching the video may distract the driver from looking ahead of
the vehicle and cause an accident.
DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY
FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.
Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be
performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle
in a safe location before performing these functions. Failure to do so
may result in an accident.
DO NOT FOLLOW ROUTE SUGGESTIONS IF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
INSTRUCTS YOU TO PERFORM AN UNSAFE OR ILLEGAL MANEUVER, OR
PLACES YOU IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION OR AREA.
This product is not a substitute for your personal judgement. Any
route suggestions by this system should never supersede any local
traffic regulations or your personal judgement or knowledge of safe
driving practice.
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE
NOISES WHILE DRIVING.
Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency
vehicle sirens or road warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be
dangerous and may result in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD
VOLUME LEVELS IN A CAR MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING
DAMAGE.
MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.
Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking ahead of
the vehicle and cause an accident.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.
Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.
USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND.
(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so may
result in fire, etc.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS SCREWS OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult
a physician immediately.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.
USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.
Use for other than its designed application may result in fire,
electric shock or other injury.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or
product damage.
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY
TERMINAL.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to
electrical shorts.
DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN SURROUNDING
OBJECTS.
Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual to
prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring that obstruct
or hang up on places such as the steering wheel, gear lever, brake
pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.
DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.
Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other
equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity of
the wire and result in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES.
When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take precautions
so as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes, fuel lines, tanks or
electrical wiring. Failure to take such precautions may result in fire.
DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR STEERING SYSTEMS TO
MAKE GROUND CONNECTIONS.
Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or any other
safety-related system), or tanks should NEVER be used for
installations or ground connections. Using such parts could disable
control of the vehicle and cause fire etc.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE
OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL OR GEARSHIFT.
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc.
and results in serious accident.
WARNING
•Operation of the system while driving is dangerous. Users
should stop vehicle before operating the software.
•Road conditions and regulations take precedence over
information contained on the map display: observe actual
traffic restrictions and circumstances while driving.
•This software is designed for use exclusively in the unit. It
cannot and may not be used in conjunction with other
hardware.
WARNING
This symbol means important instructions. Failure
to heed them can result in serious injury or death.
9-EN
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the
product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest
Alpine Service Center for repairing.
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS.
The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical
skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer
where you purchased this product to have the work done.
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM SECURELY.
Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of other than
designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not
securely install the unit in place. This may cause parts to become
loose resulting in hazards or product failure.
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY A SHARP
METAL EDGE.
Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the seat
rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and
damage to the wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a
rubber grommet to prevent the wire’s insulation from being cut by
the metal edge of the hole.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST.
Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence of
moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may
result in product failure.
NOTICE
Product Cleaning
Use a soft dry cloth for periodic cleaning of the product. For more
severe stains, please dampen the cloth with water only. Anything
else has the chance of dissolving the paint or damaging the plastic.
Temperature
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +45°C
(+113°F) and 0°C (+32°F) before turning your unit on.
Maintenance
If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.
Return it to your Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Station
for servicing.

About the Crossover
Crossover (X-Over):
This unit is equipped with an active crossover. The crossover limits the
frequencies delivered to the outputs. Each channel is controlled
independently. Thus, each speaker pair can be driven by the frequencies
for which they have been optimally designed.
The crossover adjusts the HPF (high pass filter) or LPF (low pass filter)
of each band, and also the slope (how fast the filter rolls off the highs or
lows).
Adjustments should be made according to the reproduction
characteristics of the speakers. Depending on the speakers, a passive

consult your authorized Alpine dealer.
• HPF (high pass filter): Cuts the lower frequencies and allows the higher
frequencies to pass.
• LPF (low pass filter): Cuts the higher frequencies and allows the lower
frequencies to pass.
• Slope: The level change (in dB) for a frequency change of one octave.
• The higher the slope value, the steeper the slope becomes.
• Adjust the slope to FLAT to bypass the HP or LP filters.
• Do not use a tweeter without the HPF on or set to a low frequency, as it
may cause damage to the speaker due to the low frequency content.
• Adjustment should be made according to the recommended crossover
frequency of the connected speakers. Determine the recommended
crossover frequency of the speakers. Adjusting to a frequency range
outside that recommended may cause damage to the speakers.
For the recommended crossover frequencies of Alpine speakers, refer to
the respective Owner’s Manual.
We are not responsible for damage or malfunction of speakers caused by
using the crossover outside the recommended value.
Setting Audio Mute On/Off while Backing up

About Time Correction
The distance between the listener and the speakers in a car vary widely
due to the complex speaker placement. This difference in the distances
from the speakers to the listener creates a shift in the sounds image and
frequency characteristics. This is caused by the time delay between the
sound reaching the listener’s right versus the left ear.
To correct this, this unit is able to delay the audio signal to the speakers
closest to the listener. This effectively creates a perception of increased
distance for those speakers. The listener can be placed at an equal
distance between the left and right speakers for optimum staging.
The adjustment will be made for each speaker in 3.4 cm steps.
Adjust the time correction level of the front left speaker to a high value
and the rear right to zero or a low value.
The sound is not balanced because the distance between the listening
position and the various speakers is different.
The difference in distance between the front left speaker and the rear right
speaker is 1.75 m (68-7/8”).
Here we calculate the time correction value for the front left speaker in the
diagram on the above.
Conditions:
Farthest Speaker – listening position : 2.25 m (88-9/16”)
Front left speaker – listening position : 0.5 m (19-11/16”)
Calculation: L = 2.25 m – 0.5 m = 1.75 m (68-7/8”)
Time correction = 1.75 ÷ 343* × 1,000 = 5.1 (ms)
*Speed of sound: 343 m/s (765 mph) at 20°C
In other words, giving the front left speaker a time correction value of 5.1
ms makes it seem as if its distance from the listener is the same as the
distance to the farthest speaker.
Time correction eliminates the differences in the time required for the
sound to reach the listening position.
The time of the front left speaker is corrected by 5.1 ms so that its sound
reaches the listening position at the same time as the sound of other
speakers.
Adjust the time correction level of each speaker to almost the same level.
1Sit in the listening position (driver’s seat, etc.) and
measure the distance (in meters) between your head and
the various speakers.
2Calculate the difference between the distance correction
value to the farthest speaker and the other speakers.
L = (distance to farthest speaker) – (distance to other speakers)
These values are the time correction values for the different speakers.
Setting these values to make each sound reach the listening position
at the same time as the sound of other speakers.

Indication mark meaning
When the car is put into reverse gear, the monitor switches to the rear
view camera image. Guides appear to help visualize the car’s width and
distance from the rear bumper.
Car width extension marks (red, yellow and green in
order of distance)
If properly calibrated, the marks indicate the car’s width. This
helps guide the car’s path when backing up in a straight line.
The marks represent the distance from the rear of the car (from
the rear end of the bumper).
• The marks do not move in synchronization with the steering
wheel.
• Set the marks to suit the car’s width.
Distance guidance marks
The marks represent the distance from the rear of the car (from
the rear end of the bumper).
• The marks do not move in synchronization with the steering
wheel.
• We recommend that you measure the actual distance to the
marks when parked on a level surface.
• Depending on the condition of the car or road surface, the range of
vision may vary.
• The camera has a limited range of vision. Objects at extreme angles to
the camera (e.g. under the bumper or at opposite ends of the bumper)
may not be in the its field-of-vision.
• The rear camera image may have a tint which is different from the
actual surroundings.
• Depending on the car, the guidance may deviate to the right or left. This
is not a malfunction.
Distance guidance mark
The distance guides represent the ground level distance from the rear
bumper. It is difficult to accurately estimate the distance to objects above
ground level.
In the following example, the distance to A is 0.5 m and the distance to B
is 1 m.

In the screen, according to the distance guidance marks, the
truck seems to be parked about 1 m away (at the position B).
In actual fact, however, if you reversed to position A, you
would collide with the truck.
In the screen, positions A, B and C seem to be located in order
of proximity. However, in actual fact, the position A and C are
the same distance, and B is farther away than positions A and
C.
• The car width extension mark represents the distance to the road
surface. The distance to an object on the road is not accurately
represented by the guides.
Error between the screen and the actual road surface
In the following conditions, errors are produced between the screen
guidance and the actual road surface. (The illustrations represent a case
when the camera is installed in the standard position.)

<Situation of the car>
The distance guidance mark represents the distance to a flat
road surface. Therefore in the case of an upward slope
behind the car, the distance guides are displayed closer to
the rear bumper than the actual distance. For example, if
there is an obstacle on the upward slope, it may appear
farther away than its actual position.
Also, an error may occur between the guidance and the
actual path of the car on the road surface.
When there is a steep downward slope behind the car
(example)
<Screen>
<Situation of the car>
In the case of a downward slope behind the car, the distance
guides are displayed farther from the rear bumper than the
actual distance.
If there is an obstacle on the downward slope, it seems closer
than its actual position.
Also, an error may occur between the guidance and the
actual path of the car on the road surface.

Cautions about Discs
Moisture Condensation
You may notice the disc playback sound wavering due to
condensation. If this happens, remove the disc from the player and
wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.
Damaged Disc
Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or damaged discs. Playing
a bad disc could severely damage the playback mechanism.
Never Attempt the Following
Do not grip or pull out the disc while it is being pulled back into the
player by the automatic reloading mechanism.
Do not attempt to insert a disc into the unit when the unit power is
off.
Inserting Discs
Your player accepts only one disc at a time for playback. Do not
attempt to load more than one disc.
Make sure the label side is facing up when you insert the disc.
“DISC ERROR” will be displayed on your player if you insert a disc
incorrectly. If “DISC ERROR” continues to be displayed even
though the disc has been inserted correctly, push the RESET switch
with a pointed object such as a ballpoint pen.
Playing a disc while driving on a very bumpy road may result in
skips, but this will not scratch the disc or damage the player.
Irregular Shaped Discs
Be sure to use round shaped discs only for this unit and never use
any special shaped discs.
Use of special shaped discs may cause damage to the mechanism.
New Discs
To prevent the disc from jamming, “DISC ERROR” is displayed if
discs with irregular surfaces are inserted or if discs are inserted
incorrectly. When a new disc is ejected immediately after initial
loading, use your finger to feel around the inside of the center hole
and outside edge of the disc. If you feel any small bumps or
irregularities, this could inhibit proper loading of the disc. To
remove the bumps, rub the inside edge of the hole and outside edge
of the disc with a ballpoint pen or other such instrument, then
insert the disc again.
Installation Location
Make sure the unit will not be installed in a location subjected to:
• Direct sun and heat
• High humidity and water
• Excessive dust
• Excessive vibrations
Correct Handling
Do not drop the disc while handling. Hold the disc so you will not
leave fingerprints on the surface. Do not affix tape, paper, or
gummed labels to the disc. Do not write on the disc.
Disc Cleaning
Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of the disc could cause the
DVD player to skip. For routine cleaning, wipe the playing surface
with a clean, soft cloth from the center of the disc to the outer edge.
If the surface is heavily soiled, dampen a clean, soft cloth in a
solution of mild neutral detergent before cleaning the disc.

Disc Accessories
There are various accessories available on the market for protecting
the disc surface and improving sound quality. However, most of
them will influence the thickness and/or diameter of the disc. Using
such accessories can cause operational problems. We recommend
not using these accessories on discs played in Alpine DVD players.
Discs Playable on This Unit
Playable Discs
The discs listed below can be played on this unit.
* Two-layer DVD disc compatible
Discs that cannot be played
DVD-ROMs, DVD-RAMs, CD-ROMs (excluding MP3/WMA/
AAC/WAV files), photo CDs, etc.

This DVD unit is compatible with playback control (PBC)
compatible video CDs (version 2.0).
“PBC” is a function by which you can use menu screens recorded
on the disc to find the scene you want to watch and view various
types of information in dialog style.
Using compact discs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)
If you use unspecified compact discs, correct performance cannot
be guaranteed.
You can play CD-Rs (CD-Recordables)/CD-RWs (CD-
ReWritables) which have been recorded only on audio devices.
You can also play CD-Rs/CD-RWs containing MP3/WMA/AAC/
WAV formatted audio files.
• Some of the following discs may not play on this unit:
Flawed discs, discs with fingerprints, discs exposed to extreme
temperatures or sunlight (e.g., left in the car or this unit), discs
recorded under unstable conditions, discs on which a recording
failed or a re-recording was attempted, copy-protected CDs
which do not conform to the audio CD industry standard.
• Use discs with MP3/WMA/AAC/WAV files written in a format
compliant with this unit. For details, see pages 100 and 101.
To customers using CD-R/CD-RW
• If a CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played back, make sure the last
recording session was closed (finalized).
• Finalize the CD-R/CD-RW if necessary, and attempt playback
again.
Tips for making your own discs
The unit plays DVD Video, Video CD, Audio CD and has a built in
MP3/WMA/AAC decoder.
The following information is designed to help you create your own
music CDs (either Audio CD or MP3/WMA/AAC encoded CD-R/
RW files).
What is the difference between an Audio and MP3/WMA/AAC
CD?
An Audio CD is the same format as the commercial CDs you buy in
the store (also known as CD-DA). MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)/
WMA (Windows Media Audio)/AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is
a data file that uses a compression scheme to reduce the size of the
music file*.
*If the first session on a disc containing both CD-DA data and
MP3/WMA/AAC data is a CD-DA file, only CD-DA files will be
played.
Multisession CD-R/RW:
Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered one session.
If the disc is not closed (finalized), additional data may be added.
Once this additional data has been recorded, this becomes a
“multisession” CD.
Properly formatted MP3/WMA/AAC Discs:
Use ISO9660 formatting to insure proper playback. You may use
standard ISO naming Level 1 (8.3 DOS standard), Level 2
(32 characters) or Joliet (Windows or Macintosh long filenames) file
naming conventions*.
*Please consult the Owner’s manual for additional information.

About the Supported Formats
What is MP3?
MP3, whose official name is “MPEG Audio Layer 3,” is a compression
standard prescribed by the ISO, the International Standardisation
Organisation and MPEG which is a joint activity institution of the IEC.
MP3 files contain compressed audio data. MP3 encoding is capable
of compressing audio data at extremely high ratios, reducing the size
of music files to as much as one-tenth their original size. This is
achieved while still maintaining near CD quality. The MP3 format
realizes such high compression ratios by eliminating the sounds that
are either inaudible to the human ear or masked by other sounds.
What is WMA?
WMA, or “Windows Media™ Audio,” is compressed audio data.
WMA is similar to MP3 audio data.
What is AAC?
AAC is the abbreviation for “Advanced Audio Coding,” and is a basic
format of audio compression used by MPEG2 or MPEG4.
What is FLAC?
FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) is an audio file codec for lossless
compression, developed and offered as open source software.
Codecs with lossy compression forms, such as MP3 and AAC, reduce
part of the data to improve compression efficiency.
However, FLAC can reconstruct compressed data to be an identical
copy of the original data by performing lossless compression. The
compression ratio of FLAC is about 50%.
Method for creating MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB Flash drive) files
Audio data is compressed using software with MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC
(USB Flash drive) codecs. For details on creating MP3/WMA/AAC/
FLAC (USB Flash drive) files, refer to the user’s manual for that
software.
MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB Flash drive) files that are playable on this
device have the file extensions.
MP3: “mp3”
WMA: “wma”
AAC: “m4a”
FLAC: ”flac”/”fla”
WMA is not supported for the following files, Windows Media Audio
Professional, Windows Media Audio 10 std or Windows Media Audio
10 Pro Lossless.
There are many different versions of the AAC format. Confirm that the
software being used conforms to the acceptable formats listed
above. It’s possible that the format may be unplayable even though
the extension is valid.
Playback of AAC files encoded by iTunes is supported.

This is the “sound” compression rate specified for encoding. The higher
the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the files.
Sampling rate
This value shows how many times per second the data is sampled
(recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, so
the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The higher the
sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the
volume of data.
Encoding
Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into
the specified audio compression format.
Tag
Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names, etc.,
written into MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC (USB flash drive) files.
Root folder
The root folder (or root directory) is found at the top of the file system.
The root folder contains all folders and files. It is created automatically
for all burned discs.
WAV, whose official name is “WAVE FORMAT” is a standard format of
Windows® audio file.
Extension: “.wav”
Sampling rate: 44.1 kHz
Quantization bit number: 16
Channel number: up to 2ch
Format: PCM only
The maximum nested folder depth is 8 (including the root
directory). File names are limited to 256 characters (including the
extension).
Valid characters for folder/file names are letters A-Z (all caps),
numbers 0-9, and ‘_’ (underscore).

About WAV (Disc)
102-EN
Music CDs and DVDs have grooves (tracks) in which the digital data is
recorded. The data is represented as microscopic pits recorded into the
track – these pits are read by a laser beam to play the disc. On DVDs, the
density of the tracks and pits is twice that of CDs, so DVDs can contain
more data in less space.
A 12 cm disc can contain one movie or about four hours of music. In
addition, DVDs provide sharp picture quality with vivid colors thanks to
a horizontal resolution of over 500 lines (compared to less than 300 for
VHS tape).
In addition, DVDs offer a variety of functions.
Multiple audio* (page 76)
Movies can be recorded in up to eight languages. The desired
language can be selected from the unit.
Subtitles function* (page 76)
Movies can include subtitles in up to 32 languages. The desired
subtitle language can be selected from the unit.
Multi angle function* (page 76)
When the DVD contains a movie shot from multiple angles, the
desired angle can be selected from the unit.
Multi story function*
With this function, a single movie includes various story lines. You can
select different story lines to view various versions of the same movie.
Operation differs from disc to disc. Story line selection screens
including instructions appear during the movie. Just follow the
instructions.
*These functions differ from disc to disc. For details, refer to the disc’s
instructions.
Note on using HDMI Connection Cables
When using HDMI connection cables, secure the cables to the HDMI
Terminals with the supplied HDMI Fixation Bracket.
1Slide the HDMI Fixation Bracket into the grooves (A).
2Secure it with the screw (B).
