Additional Information
Learning More about This System
Before Operating the System (see page 3)
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 the 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.
Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 10 to 15)
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.
• For DVD-VR playback...
– This unit cannot play back DVD-VR disc with CPRM
(Content Protection for Recordable Media).
– When making a disc, use UDF-Bridge format.
– For details about DVD-VR format and playlist, refer to
the manual of the recording equipment.
– You cannot use reverse slow motion, Program Play, and
Random Play.
• For MP3/WMA/JPEG playback...
– MP3/WMA/JPEG discs are required a longer readout
time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of
the group/file configuration.)
– Some MP3/WMA/JPEG files cannot be played back and
will be skipped. This results from their recording
processes and conditions.
– When making MP3/WMA/JPEG discs, use ISO 9660
Level 1 or Level 2 for the disc format.
– This system can play back MP3/WMA/JPEG files with
the extension code <.mp3>, <.wma> or <.jpg>
(regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at
a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.
This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less
than 64 kbps.

Playing Back from the PC:
• Check if your PC equipped with the CD-ROM drive is
running on Windows® 98*, Windows® 98SE*, Windows®
Me*, Windows® 2000*, or Windows® XP* and prepare its
CD-ROM.
• DO NOT turn off the System or disconnect the USB cable
while installing the drivers or until your PC has recognized
the System.
• Use a full speed USB cable (version 1.1).
• If your PC does not recognize the System, disconnect the
USB cable and connect it again. If this does not work,
restart Windows.
• The drivers installed can be recognized only when the USB
cable is connected between the System and your PC.
• The sound may not be played back correctly—interrupted
or degraded—due to your PC settings or PC specifications.
*Microsoft®, Windows® 98, Windows® 98SE, Windows®
Me, Windows® 2000 and Windows® XP are registered
trademarks of Microsoft corporation.
Playing Back from Other External Equipment:
• When enjoying a video game with your game machine
connected to this System, connect this System and your
TV/monitor with the composite video cable.

Daily Operations—Sound and Other

Selecting the Sound Modes:
• Sound Modes do not take effect while game is selected as
the source.
Selecting 3D Phonic Mode:
• 3D Phonic function also affects the sound through the
headphones.
• 3D Phonic setting is also applied to the optical digital
output signals through the DIGITAL OUTPUT
(OPTICAL) terminal.
Changing the Picture Tone:
• If no operation is done for about 10 seconds, the VFP
setting screen disappears.

• During slow-motion playback, no sound will be
reproduced.
• While zoomed in, the picture may look coarse.
• You cannot use frame-by-frame playback for DVD-VR.

Advanced Disc Operations (see pages 23 to 25)
Programming the Playing Order—Program Play:
• While programming steps...

– If you try to program a disc number on which the System
has detected no disc is loaded, “
” appears on the TV
screen.
– Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an
item number that does not exist on the disc (for example,
selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks). Such
entries are ignored.
– When you enter the group number for SVCD/VCD/CD
which is not in the current tray, the System will ignore these
entries during playback.

• You cannot use Program Play and Random Play for
DVD-VR and JPEG discs.
• If you try to add a 100th track, “FULL” appears on the display.
• The program contents will be erased when...
– You unplug the AC power cord.
– You open the disc tray currently selected (regardless of the
play mode).

Playing at Random—Random Play:
• Random Play cannot be used on some DVD discs.

On-Screen Disc Operations (see pages 26 to 32)
Operations Using the On-screen Bar:
• A-B Repeat:
– For DVD Video, A-B Repeat is possible only within the
same title.
– For SVCD/VCD/CD, A-B Repeat is possible only within
the same track.
Operations on the control Screen:
• For DVD-VR playback...
– Original Program: The System can play back the
original picture in the recorded order.
– Play List: The System can play back the play list edited
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.
• This unit may not play back JPEG files properly which are
recorded by the devices other than digital still camera.
• During Slide-show playback, zoom cannot be operated.

Timer Operations (see pages 33 and 34)
Setting the Timer:
• When you select “CD” for the playback source, playback
starts from the beginning of the current disc when timer is
activated.
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure
occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the
clock first, then the timer again.
• If you set DVD Video as the source, Daily Timer may not
work correctly.

Set up Menu Operations (see pages 35 to 38)
LANGUAGE Set up Menu:
• When the language you have selected for MENU
LANGUAGE, AUDIO LANGUAGE, or SUBTITLE is
not recorded on a disc, the original language is used as the
initial language.
PICTURE Set up Menu—MONITOR TYPE:
• Even if “4:3 PS” is selected, the screen size may become
4:3 letter box with some DVD Videos. This depends on
how the discs are recorded.
• When you select “16:9” for a picture whose aspect ratio is
4:3, the picture slightly changes due to the process for
converting the picture width.
AUDIO Set up Menu—DOWN MIX:
• This setting is not effective when DTS multi-channel
software is played back.
OTHERS Set up Menu—ON SCREEN GUIDE:
• The set up menu and on-screen bar will be displayed (and
recorded) even though this function is set to “OFF.”

Maintenance
To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs
clean.

Handling discs
• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge
while pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when
placing it back in its case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperature,
and moisture.
To clean the disc:
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center
to edge.

Cleaning the System
• Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System
is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in
water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe
clean with a dry cloth.
• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the
following:
– DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
– DO NOT wipe it forcefully.
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as
insecticides to it.
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact
for a long time.
