About discs/files

• Even though listed above, some types may be

unplayable.

*1 Discs should be finalized before being played back.

*2 DVD VR means a DVD-R/DVD-RW recorded in Video

Recording (VR) format.

*3 A CD-R/CD-RW recorded in multi-session format (up

to 20 sessions) is playable.

*4 A DVD-R recorded in multi-border format is also

playable (except for dual layer discs).

*5 For files recorded on a DVD-R/DVD-RW, the disc

should be formatted with UDF Bridge.

It is possible to play back finalized +R/+RW (DVD Video

Format only) discs.

Some discs may not be played back because of their disc

characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stains

on them.

Only sounds can be played back from the following discs:

MIX-MODE CD CD-G

CD-EXTRA CD TEXT

This system accommodates the NTSC and PAL systems.

When you play back an NTSC disc with the video signal

type set to “PAL” (refer to page 13), the NTSC video

signal is converted to the PAL60 signal and output.

Region code of DVD VIDEO

DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their

own region code numbers. This system can play back a

DVD VIDEO whose region code number includes the

system’s region code, which is indicated on the rear

panel.

If a DVD VIDEO with an improper region code number is

loaded, 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/file programming and disc/file

structure, not a malfunction of this system.

• The following discs cannot be played back:

• DVD-ROM (except for MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG1/

MPEG2 format), DVD-RAM, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I

Ready), Photo CD, SACD, etc.

• Playing back these discs generates noise and may

damage the speakers.

• Damaged discs and discs with an unusual shape

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

be played back.

• JVC does not guarantee the operation and sound

quality of discs not authorized by CD-DA, which is a

CD specification.

Before playback, confirm that the disc complies with

this CD specification by checking the marks and

reading notes printed on the package.

• CDs recorded in the ISO 9660 format are playable

(except CDs recorded in the “packet write” format

(UDF format)).

• Files with an extension of “.mp3”, “.wma”, “.wav”, “.jpg”,

“.jpeg”, “.mpg” or “.mpeg” (extensions with mixed

cases are also acceptable) are playable.

• A disc may not be played back, 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 characters other than single-byte alphanumeric

characters are used in the file name of an MP3/WMA/

WAV/JPEG file, the track/file name is not displayed

correctly.

• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3/

WMA/WAV menu screen, and the order of files/groups

displayed on the JPEG menu screen may be different

from that of files/folders displayed on a computer

monitor screen.

• Playing back an MP3/WMA file that contains a still

image may take a long time. The elapsed time is not

displayed until playback starts. This elapsed time may

not be displayed correctly.

• For an MP3/WMA file, a disc with a sampling

frequency of 44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128

kbps is recommended.

• This system is not compatible with an MP3i or

MP3PRO file.

• This system can play back a baseline JPEG file,

excluding monochromatic JPEG files.

• This system can play back JPEG data taken with a

digital camera conforming to the DCF (Design Rule for

Camera File System) standard (when a function such

as the automatic rotation function of a digital camera is

applied, the data may no longer conform to the DCF

standard, and the image may not be displayed).

Playable disc/file types

Playable discs *1 DVD VIDEO, DVD AUDIO, DVD VR *2, VCD, SVCD, CD,

CD-R *3, CD-RW *3, DVD-R *4, *5, DVD-RW *5, +R, +RW

Playable files recorded on a disc *1 MP3, WMA, WAV, JPEG, MPEG1, MPEG2

• If data has been processed, edited or restored with

computer image editing software, the data may not be

displayed.

• This system cannot play back animations such as

MOTION JPEG files, still pictures (TIFF etc.) other

than JPEG files, or image data with sound.

• The resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is recommended for

JPEG files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution

of more than 640 x 480 pixels, it may take a long time

to display the file. An image with a resolution of more

than 8 192 x 7 680 pixels cannot be displayed.

• A WAV file with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and

a quantization bit rate of 16 bits is recommended.

Notes on MPEG1/MPEG2 discs/files

• The stream structure of MPEG1/MPEG2 discs and

files 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.

• This system also supports the resolutions of 352 x

576/480 x 576/352 x 288 pixels (25 fps) and 352 x 480/

480 x 480/352 x 240 pixels (30 fps).

• The profile and level should be MP@ML (Main Profile

at Main Level)/SP@ML (Simple Profile at Main Level)/

MP@LL (Main Profile at Low Level).

• Audio streams should conform to MPEG1 Audio Layer-

2, MPEG2 Audio Layer-2 or Dolby Digital (MPEG2 files

only).

Caution for DualDisc playback:

The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with

the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore,

the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product is

not recommended.

DVD VIDEO/DVD VR

A DVD VIDEO consists of “titles” and each title

may be divided into “chapters”.

A DVD VR consists of “original programs” or “play

lists” and each original program/play list 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 playback. (Refer to page 32.)

VCD/SVCD/CD

A VCD/SVCD/CD consists of “tracks”.

In general, each track has its own track number.

(On some discs, each track may also be further

divided by indexes.)

MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/MPEG1/MPEG2 files

Audio, still pictures and video are recorded as

tracks/files on a disc. Tracks/files are usually

grouped into a folder. Folders can also include

other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers.

This system simplifies the hierarchical construction

of files and manages folders by “groups”.

.

This system can recognize up to 4 000 tracks/files

on a disc. Also, the system can recognize up to

150 tracks/files per group and up to 99 groups on a

disc. Since the system ignores the tracks/files with

numbers exceeding 150 and the groups with

numbers exceeding 99, these cannot be played

back.

If there are any type of files other than MP3/WMA/

WAV/JPEG/MPEG1/MPEG2 files on a disc, those

files are also counted in the total number of files.

The use of three main feet on the bottom of the

main unit enables higher sound quality while

maintaining the stability of the main unit.

In addition, the two studs on the bottom help

stabilize the main unit and prevent it from wobbling

or tipping when nudged from above. Because the

studs are slightly shorter than the main feet, the

studs do not come in contact with the mounted

surface, leaving the main feet to support the main

unit.
