•When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always

pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in

the following cases:

• After starting to heat the room

• In a damp room

• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm

place.

Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case,

leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture

evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Internal heat

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor

ventilation could overheat and damage the unit.

–A cooling fan is inside the unit to prevent heat build-up.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System,

unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before

operating any further.

•If you are not going to operate the System for an extended

period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall

outlet.

Additional Information

Learning More about This System

Introduction

(see pages 1 to 2)

Playable Disc Types:

• About audio format

–

Linear PCM:

Uncompressed digital audio, the same

format used for CDs and most studio masters.

–

Dolby Digital:

Compressed digital audio, developed by

Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel

encode to create realistic surround sound.

–

DTS (Digital Theater Systems):

Compressed digital

audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which

enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the

compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it

provides wider dynamic range and better separation.

•If you use a DVD-RAM with a cartridge, take the disc out

of the cartridge before inserting.

Connections

(see pages 3 to 6)

Changing the Color System and Scanning Mode:

•If you play back an NTSC disc with the color system set to

“PAL (PROG),” the disc will be reproduced using “PAL

60” format, however, if the TV does not support this

format, the screen may not display properly.

• If you play back a PAL disc with the color system set to

“NTSC (PROG),” you can watch the playback pictures, but

the following symptoms may occur:

–The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and be shown

slightly shifted when highlighted.

– The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the

original aspect ratio.

– The picture movement is not smooth.

•You cannot change the scanning mode to progressive in the

following cases:

– When your TV does not support the progressive video

input.

–When you have not connected your TV to the unit using

a component video cord.

•When you play back an NTSC disc in progressive scanning

mode, the System outputs the NTSC signal regardless of

the color system settings.

Daily Operations—Playback

(see pages 8 to 12)

Listening to the Radio:

•If you store a new station into an occupied preset number,

the previously stored station in that number will be erased.

•When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure

occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If

this happens, preset the stations again.

Playing Back a Disc:

•On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual operations

may be different from what is explained in this manual, due

to the programming and disc structure; such differences are

not a malfunction of this System.

• When playing back a DVD Audio disc recorded in MLP

(Meridian Lossless Packing; a lossless audio compression

system that can completely recreate the PCM signal), the

signals are recognized as the linear PCM signals, however,

no indicator lights up on the display.

• For MP3/WMA playback...

– MP3/WMA discs require a longer readout time than

regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/

file configuration.)

– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will

be skipped. This results from their recording processes

and conditions.

– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1

or Level 2 for the disc format.

– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the

extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the

letter case—upper/lower).

by the recording equipment. The control screen for the

play list appears only when the disc has the play list.

– Resume is not available.

–For details about DVD-VR format and play list, refer to

the manual of the recording equipment.

• For JPEG files playback...

– It is recommended that you record a file at 640 x 480

resolution. (If a file has been recorded at a resolution of

more than 640 x 480, it will take a long time to be

shown.)

– This System can play only baseline JPEG files*.

Progressive JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot

be played.

* Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras,

web, etc.

Progressive JPEG format: Used for web.

Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used

now.

• For MPEG-1/MPEG-2 playback...

– The stream format should conform to MPEG system/

program stream.

– 720 x 576 pixels (25 fps)/720 x 480 pixels (30 fps) is

recommended for the highest resolution.
