About discs

This system has been designed to play back the following

discs:

DVD VIDEO, DVD AUDIO, VCD, SVCD, CD

This system can also play back the following discs:

• Finalized DVD-R/RW discs recorded in the DVD

VIDEO format.

• CD-R/RW discs recorded in the following formats

- Music CDs (finalized discs)

- VCDs

- SVCDs

- MP3/JPEG discs recorded in ISO 9660 (for details, refer

to “About MP3/JPEG discs ”)

However, some discs may not be played back because of

their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or

damage or stain on them.

Only sounds can be played back from the following discs:

MIX-MODE CD CD-G

CD-EXTRA CD TEXT

Discs you can play:

*Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVD VIDEOs have their own Region

Code numbers. This system can only play back a DVD

VIDEO recorded with the Region Code number and

video format mentioned above.

If a DVD VIDEO with an improper Region Code

number is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears

on the TV screen and playback cannot start.

• On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs,

their actual operation may be different from what is

explained in this manual. This is due to the disc

programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of

this system.

Discs that cannot be played back

• The following discs cannot be played back:

DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (recorded in VR

format), CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD,

SACD, etc.

Playing back these discs will generate noise and

damage the speakers.

Damaged discs and discs in an extraordinary shape

(other than a disc of 12 cm or 8 cm in diameter) cannot

be played back.

About MP3/JPEG discs

Playable MP3/JPEG discs and files

• Discs recorded in the ISO 9660 format are playable

(except discs recorded in the “packet write” format

(UDF format)).

• Discs recorded in the multi-session format are also

playable.

• Files with an extension of “.mp3,” “.jpg” or “.jpeg”

(extensions with uppercase and lowercase letters

mixed are also acceptable) are playable.

Notes on MP3/JPEG discs and files

• A disc may not be played, or reading it may take a long

time depending on its recording conditions or

properties.

• The time needed for reading varies with the number of

groups or tracks (files) recorded on the disc.

• If a character other than single byte English characters

is used in the file name of an MP3/JPEG file, the track/

file name will not be displayed correctly.

• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3

Control screen, and the order of files/groups displayed

on the JPEG Control screen may be different from that

of files/folders displayed on PC’s monitor screen.

• In the case of MP3 discs, since groups/tracks are

played in alphabetical order, an off-the-shelf MP3 disc

may be played in an order different from that indicated

on the label attached to the disc.

• Playing an MP3 file including a still image may take a

long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until

playing starts. If playing starts, the elapsed time may

not be displayed correctly.

• This system does not handle the ID3 tag of the MP3

file.

• For an MP3 file, a disc with a sampling frequency of

44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128 kbps is

recommended.

• This system can play a baseline JPEG file, excluding

monochromatic JPEG files.

• This system can play JPEG data taken with a digital

camera conforming to the DCF (Design Rule for

Camera File System) standard (when a function is

applied such as the automatic rotation function of a

digital camera, data goes beyond the DCF standard,

so the image may not be displayed).

• If data has been processed, edited and restored with

PC image editing software, the data may not be

displayed.

• This system cannot play animations such as MOTION

JPEG, or still images (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG, and

image data with sound.

• The resolution of 640 x 480 is recommended for JPEG

files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more

than 640 x 480, display may take a long time. An

image with a horizontal resolution of more than 2,400

pixels cannot be displayed.

Introduction

DVD VIDEO

A DVD VIDEO consists of “titles” and each title

may be divided into “chapters”.

DVD AUDIO

A DVD AUDIO consists of “groups” and each group

may be divided into “tracks”.

Some discs include a “bonus group” that requires a

password for playing (Apage 28).

VCD/SVCD/CD

VCD, SVCD and CD consist of “tracks”.

In general, each track has its own track number.

(On some discs, each track may also be further

divided by indexes.)

MP3 [JPEG] discs

On an MP3 [JPEG] disc, each still picture

(material) is recorded as a track [file]. Tracks [Files]

are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also

include other folders, creating hierarchical folder

layers.

This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of

a disc and manages folders by “groups”.

This unit can recognize up to 150 tracks [files] per

group and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850

files in total). Since the unit ignores the tracks

[files] whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the

groups whose numbers are exceeding 99, they

cannot be played back.

• If there is any type of files other than MP3 [JPEG]

files in a folder, those files are also counted in the

total file number.

menu according to the aspect ratio of your TV

(Apage 30).

NOTE

If you play back an NTSC disc with this setting set to

“PAL”.

You can watch the playback pictures (the disc will

be reproduced using “PAL 60” format), but the TV

screen may rolls over upward and downward

rapidly.

NOTE

If you play back a PAL disc with this setting set to

“NTSC”.

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.

despite correction measures above

Many functions of this system are implemented by

microcomputers. If pressing any button does not

result in the normal action, disconnect the power

plug from the outlet, wait for a while, and reconnect

the system.
