Player Zones

Anti-copy Disc Protection

Installation

DVD Discs

For the purpose of distribution of DVD Discs, the world has been separated into 6

zones. The zone your unit is intended for is indicated on the Zone Label. This should

be the same as the label on discs available in your region. If you have any difficulties in

playing a disc, make sure that the disc is for the same zone as your player.

Some DVD discs have anti-copying devices.

With these discs the playback on a Television will give the highest quality picture, however you will not be able to

record this signal on a VCR.

Install your unit on a stable flat surface. There must be sufficient room in front of the unit for the drawer to be

opened and the unit should be positioned so that it can see the remote control.

Do not expose your unit to extremes of temperature or humidity. Avoid standing it on a hot surface such as on

top of other hot running equipment and ensure that there is adequate ventilation to the unit.

* Caution : Do not install this equipment in confined space such as a book case or similar unit!

There are several types of DVD Disc.

Single sided discs. They play for approximately 2 HOURS

Single sided two layer discs. They play for approximately 4 HOURS

Double sided discs. They play for approximately 4 HOURS

Double sided with 2 layers on both sides. They play for approximately 8 HOURS

DVD discs have Titles and Chapters. There can be several Titles on one disc and each Title can contain several

Chapters. Titles and Chapters are numbered, e.g. Title 1, Title 2 etc. & Chapter 1,2,3 etc.

Usually Title one will show the disc publisher and studio

logos. The next Title will be the film. Other Titles

contain trailers for other films, production notes, or

alternative endings for the film. There are many

possibilities with Digital Versatile Disc. Chapters within

the main Title allow you to search quickly for a specific

point on the disc. Many discs have a Chapter Menu

sometimes called Scene Index or Scene Menu that

displays the first shot from each Chapter, which allows

you to select a shot and play the disc from that point

onwards. DVD discs can be PAL or NTSC. This player

can play both types (if the player zone is correct).

DVD discs allow up to 8 Languages and 32 subtitles on a single disc. You can select and change the language

and subtitle to suit yourself and play the whole disc or just part of it and view it from different angles.

Picture freezing & sound skipping or repeating can occur if the disc inside the player is dirty.

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

• Do not wipe in a circular motion. Circular scratches can cause picture distortion or render the disc

unplayable.

CAUTION - Do not use solvents, commercially viable cleaners, or

antistatic spray intended for analog discs.

section “Playing a DVD disc” and onward.

Placement of speakers play an important role in the reproduction of surround sound. Particular attention

should be taken when designing the speaker layout. For the best surround effects, all speakers should be

installed.

A typical room layout will have the left, center, and right speakers placed across the front and the left surround

and right surround speakers placed along the sides towards the rear as shown in the above left picture. The

center speaker can be positioned above or below the video screen or TV. A subwoofer can be installed for

powerful bass sounds and can be positioned anywhere in the room.

The ‘speaker to listener dimensions’ shown in the above right picture is used for proper setup of the surround

system (

Please refer to Speaker Setup on P.16

Note:

•Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of +/- speaker terminals.

• Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers supplied.

Pro Logic II Mode

The additional flexibility of Pro Logic II allows it to be tailored for specific applications.

Five standard modes are available:

Pro Logic - It offers users the robust surround processing of the original

Pro Logic.

Virtual - It’s usually used when Pro Logic II is connected to a virtual

process for speaker use.

Music - It’s recommended as the standard mode for autosound music

systems (without video), and is optional for A/V systems.

Movie - It can be called simply “Pro Logic II”. It has stereo surround

channels and no surround filter, unlike Pro Logic which has a

mono surround channels and a 7KHz surround filter. Movie

mode is the standard required for all A/V systems.

Matrix - It’s the same as the Music mode except that the directional

enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance

mono signals by making them seem “larger”.

PL II Control lets you to customize the Pro Logic II Music Mode Sound Effect. The

option is available only when the player is in Music Mode.

Dimension

A simple control that alters the ratio of L+R to L-R for the two-

channel input signals. It allows the user to gradually adjust the

soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear. If a

recording is too spacious or strong from the surrounds, it can be

adjusted “forward” to get a better balance. Likewise, if a stereo

recording is somewhat too “mono” or “narrow” sounding, it can be

adjusted toward the rear to get a more enveloping, immersing

result.

Panorama

Extends the front stereo image to include the surround

speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side-wall

imaging.

Center Width Control

With Pro Logic decoding, dominant center signals can come

only from the center speaker. If no center speaker is present,

the decoder splits the center signals equally to the left and

right speakers to create a “phantom” center image. The

Center Width control allows variable adjustment of the

center image so it may be heard only from the center

speaker; only from the left/right speakers as a phantom

image; or from all three front speakers to varying degrees.

It’s recommended to set the control to use the position 3

values for the Music mode. This will also help distinguish the

Music mode from the Movie mode, which automatically

presets the Center-width control to position 0.

Dolby Digital Surround

The Dolby Digital Surround system requires connections of all 5 speakers (front left, center, front right,

surround right, surround left) for the correct surround sound reproduction. This 5.1 channel digital surround

format enables five individual full-range (20Hz-20KHz) channels plus an LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel

for the low-range (20Hz-120Hz) effects. It creates a realistic sound similar to the theaters and cinemas. A

large proportion of DVD discs use this system for sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II Surround

The Dolby Pro Logic II Surround system is the next generation in Dolby Surround decoding. It creates five full-

bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix

surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds

or tonal colorations.

3 Stereo

3 Stereo produces three channels (front left, center, front right) of sound from a two channels analog signal. It

is not a surround format so it does not require surround speakers.

Soundfield Effects

The digital Soundfield Effects recreates the effects of sounds reflected from walls or ceilings to obtain the

sound presence of real environments.

- Stadium: recreates a large stadium using very long reverberation times.

- Stage: recreates a stage environment, emphasizing sound from the front speakers.

- Hall: recreates a hall using lots of reflections. Suitable for orchestral music such as classical and opera.

- Disco: recreates the disco or club music effect. It is suitable for all types of music that are played in

disco.

- Live: suitable for all types of music.

While advances have been made to ensure that your disc player is compatible with the largest number of discs

possible, however it cannot be guaranteed that you will be able to play discs which might not be compliant with

audio CD standards. In the case of writable and rewritable discs, compatibility with this player depends on the

CD/DVD writer, the right software and the disc used.

DVD-Video

Digital video discs - 5” and 3”, single or double sided,

single or dual layer. DVDs are high-density optical

discs on which high quality picture and audio are

recorded by means of digital signals.

DVD-R, DVD-RW

Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording only), DVD-

RW and DVD+RW discs (rewritable). Depending on

the DVD writer and discs used. Recordings using

DVD-R and DVD-RW discs must be made in Video

DVD mode. Recordings using DVD+RW discs must

be made in accordance with the specifications for

DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB capacity.

CD-R & CD-RW

Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW discs

(rewritable). This player can play most CD-R discs.

CD-Rs written during a multi-session recording can

also be played, provided that the session has ended

before the disc is played (depending on the write

software). However, depending on the condition of the

CD writer, computer and the disc used, you may find

that not all discs will play successfully. When playing a

CD-R disc, it is completely normal for the unit to take

up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc before start-

ing to play. If the disc is not recognized after a period

of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and then insert it

again.

• Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of

the CD-R, do not use its full capacity.

• CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of CD-

RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-

RW playback may be faulty.

• Use reliable, good-quality CD write software.

• Close all other applications on the computer to

ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.

CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio files in MP3

format. As for CD-R MP3 discs, please follow all the

recommendations for CD-R above, along with the

comments below:

• Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET

format. ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 files are

compatible with Microsoft’s DOS and Windows,

as well as with Apple Mac. These two formats are

the most widely used.

• MP3 filenames should not exceed 12 characters,

and should end with the “.MP3” extension.

General name format: “Title.MP3”. When

composing your title ensure that you use 8

characters or less, have no spaces in the name,

and avoid the use of special characters including (

. , / , \ , = ,+).

• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least

128kB/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording

MP3 files. Sound quality with MP3 files basically

depends on the rate of compression /

decompression you choose. Obtaining audio CD

quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling

rate, that is converted to MP3 format, of at least

128kB/sec and up to 160kB/sec. Choosing higher

rates, such as 192 kB/sec or more, will rarely

produce better sound quality. Conversely, files

with sampling rates below 128kB/sec will not play

properly.

• Do not try recording copyright-protected MP3

files. “Secured” files are encrypted and code-

protected to prevent illegal copying. You must not

copy such files.

Important:

The above recommendations cannot be taken as a

guarantee that the DVD player will play MP3

recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You

should note that certain technologies and methods

for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal

playback of these files on your DVD player (i.e.

degraded sound quality and even, in some cases,

inability of the player to read the file).

MP3 Files

Audio CD (5” and 3”).

PLAYABLE DISC

Note: When the selection is completed, exit the Navigation Bar by pressing INFO, or EXIT.

Press to select audio output mode according to the availability on disc.

Play Mode Selection

Press repeatedly to select play mode and repeat mode as below:

Standard > Program > Random > Repeat A-B > Folder Repeat > Disc Repeat >Track

JPEG Files

CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG files. JPEG is a

compressed image file format. Your player can play

JPEG files with a resolution of up to five million (5

mega) pixels. However, there is no perceptible

improvement in the quality of pictures displayed on

your TV screen beyond 400,000 pixels.

Certain JPEG files, including progressive JPEG files,

cannot be read by this player.

Note: Display time will vary according to the file size

and number of pixels of JPEG files.

CD-R with WMA files. Windows Media Audio (WMA)

is another compressed audio file format that is

similar to MP3. WMA files can also be grouped in

folders or albums as MP3 files.

• WMA filenames should not exceed 12 characters,

and should end with the “.WMA” extension.

General name format: “Title.WMA”. When

composing your title ensure that you use 8

characters or less, have no spaces in the name,

and avoid the use of special characters including

( . , / , \ , = ,+).

• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least

128kB/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording

WMA files. Sound quality with WMA files basically

depends on the rate of compression /

decompression you choose. Obtaining audio CD

quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling

rate, that is conversion to WMA format, of at

least 32kB/sec and up to 160kB/sec. Choosing

higher rates, such as 192 kB/sec or more, only

rarely produces even better sound quality.

Conversely, files with sampling rates below 32kB/

sec will not play properly.

• Supported Formats: WMA 7.0, WMA 8.0, WMA

9.0.

WMA Files MPEG4 Files

For MPEG 4 Video file format, only stereo output will

be available.

As for CD-R MPEG4 discs, please follow all the

recommendations for CD-R above, along with the

comments below:

• Your MPEG4 files should be ISO format without

QPEL.

• MPEG4 filenames should not exceed 12 characters,

and should end with the “.avi” extension. General

name format: “Title.avi”. When composing your title

ensure that you use 8 characters or less, have no

spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special

characters including ( . , / , \ , = ,+).

Important:

The above recommendations cannot be taken as a

guarantee that the DVD player will play MPEG4

recordings, or as an assurance of video quality. You

should note that certain technologies and methods for

MPEG4 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal

playback of these files on your DVD player (i.e. In some

cases, inability of the player to read the file, or

playback the file normally).

Depending on the conditions of the recording

equipment or the CD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW or DVD-R/

RW disc itself, some discs can not be played on the

unit.
