However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 level 1, level 2, or Joliet format for the player to recognize the tracks. You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session. See the instructions of the CD-R/RW device or recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format. To play a Multi Session CD This player can play Multi Session CDs when an MP3 audio track is located in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks, recorded in the later sessions, can also be played back. When audio tracks and images in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back. Notes • If you put the extension “.MP3” to data not in MP3 format, the player cannot recognize the data properly and will generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system. • The player cannot play audio tracks in MP3PRO format. • This player supports MP3 audio tracks recorded with a bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. Attempting to play MP3 audio tracks recorded with different specifications may result in loud noise, sound skipping or speaker damage. • Depending on the disc, playback may take some time to start. The Playback order of MP3 audio tracks The playback order of albums and tracks recorded on a DATA CD is as follows. • Structure of disc contents Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5 DVD Additional Operations Tree 1 album track continued Playing an MP3 audio track 85 filename[010DVD.fm] model name1[SLV-D500P] [3-083-946-11 (1) US] filename[C:\Documents and Settings\gotanda\Desktop\3083946111SLVD500PUC0414\010DVD.fm] 010COV.book Page 86 Thursday, April 24, 2003 12:37 PM When you insert a DATA CD and press H PLAY, the numbered tracks are played sequentially, from 1 through 7.

Albums that do not contain tracks (such as album E) do not appear in the list. Tips • If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track file names, the tracks will be played in that order. • Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start playback, place your albums within the first two trees. Notes • Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD, the playback order may differ from the illustration above. • The playback order above may not be applicable if there are more than a total of 200 albums and tracks in the DATA CD. • The player can recognize up to 100 albums (the player will count just albums, including albums that do not contain MP3 audio tracks).

About JPEG image files You can play JPEG image files on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, or CD-RWs. However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 level 1, level 2, or Joliet format for the player to recognize the files. You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session. See the instructions of the CD-R/RW device or recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format. To play a Multi Session CD This player can play Multi Session CDs when an JPEG image file is located in the first session. Any subsequent JPEG image files, recorded in the later sessions, can also be played back. When audio tracks and images in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back. DVD Additional Operations Notes • Slide show can play in only one direction. • You cannot rotate or zoom in the image during Slide show. • If you select ALBUM in the rotated image display, the images in the ALBUM display will also be rotated.

A title is composed of several chapters. Depending on the disc, no chapters may be recorded. Dolby Digital (pages 55 and 60) Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data are recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital. Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 55) Audio signal processing technology that Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound. When the input signal contains a surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, center and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural. DTS (page 60) Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital. DVD (page 6) A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and doublesided DVD is 9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided DVD is 17GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its original size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD. DVD-RW (page 6) A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVD-RW has two different modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVD-RWs created in Video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited. DVD+RW (page 6) A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO format. 108 Glossary filename[010ADDI.fm] model name1[SLV-D500P] [3-083-946-11 (1) US] filename[\\Win-78\got78\2003 ComboUC 500\3083946111SLVD500PUC0424\010ADDI.fm] 010ADDI.fm Page 109 Wednesday, May 7, 2003 2:06 PM Interlace format (page 64) Interlace format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image. Progressive format (pages 58 and 64) Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 30 frames/60 fields in one second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper. This player is compatible with the 480 progressive format. Title (page 34) The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software. Additional Information Track (page 34) Sections of a picture or a music feature on a CD or VIDEO CD (the length of a song).
