About MP3 audio tracks
You can play MP3 audio tracks 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 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 1
Tree 2
Tree 3
Tree 4
Tree 5
album
track
When you insert a DATA CD and press H PLAY, the numbered tracks are played
sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any sub-albums/tracks contained within a currently
selected album does not take priority over the next album in the same tree. (Example:
E contains G but 6 is played before 7.)
When you press O RETURN and the list of MP3 albums appears (page 90), the
albums are arranged in the following order: A t B t C t D t F t G.
Albums that do not contain tracks (such as album C) 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.
• A disc with many trees takes longer to start playback. Some discs with many trees cannot be
played back.
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 1000 albums
and tracks in the DATA CD.
• The player can recognize up to 500 albums (the player will count just albums, including
albums that do not contain MP3 audio tracks). The player will not play any albums beyond
the first 500 albums. Of the first 500 albums, the player will play no more than a combined
total of 1000 albums and tracks.

appears.
• Re-connect the connecting cord securely.
• The connecting cords are damaged.
• Check the connection to your TV (page 13) and switch
the input selector on your TV so that the signal from the
player appears on the TV screen.
• The disc is dirty or flawed.
• If the picture output from your player goes through your
VCR to get to your TV or if you are connected to a
combination TV/VIDEO player, the copy-protection
signal applied to some DVD programs could affect
picture quality. If you still experience problems even
when you connect your player directly to your TV, please
try connecting your player to your TV’s S-VIDEO input
(page 63).
• You have set the player to progressive format (the
PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up in orange)
eventhough your TV cannot accept the progressive signal.
In this case, set “Progressive” to “Off” (page 69).
• Even if your TV is compatible with progressive format
(525p) signals, the image may be affected when you set
the player to progressive format. In this case, set
“Progressive” to “Off” and the player is set to normal
(interlace) format (page 67).
• COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jack is not used or
“Progressive” of the “SCREEN SETUP” menu is not set
correctly while the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up in
orange. Check the setting (page 67) and connection
(page 64).
• Consumers should note that not all high definition
television sets are fully compatible with this product and
may cause artifacts to be desplayed in the picture. In case
of 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is
recommended that the user switch the connection to the
“standard definition” output. If there are questions
regarding our TV set compatibility with this model 525p

Glossary
Chapter (page 37)
Sections of a picture or a music feature that
are smaller than titles. A title is composed of
several chapters. Depending on the disc, no
chapters may be recorded.
Dolby Digital (pages 61 and 66)
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 61)
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.
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.
Additional Information
DTS (page 66)
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.
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.

Interlace format
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 64 and 69)
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 525 progressive
format.
Title (page 37)
The longest section of a picture or music
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video
