Notes on Operation

About MP3/WMA/JPEG discs

Playable MP3/WMA/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", ".wma", ".jpg" or ".jpeg" (extensions with uppercase and lowercase letters mixed are also acceptable) are playable.

Notes on MP3/WMA/JPEG discs and files

• 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 a character other than single byte English characters is used in the file name of an MP3/

WMA/JPEG file, the track/file name will not be displayed correctly.

• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the

MP3/WMA 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/WMA discs, since groups/ tracks are played back in alphabetical order, an off-the-shelf MP3/WMA disc may be played back in an order different from that indicated on the label attached to the disc.

• Playing back an MP3/WMA file including a still image may take a long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until playing back starts. If playing back starts, the 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 product is not compatible with MP3i or

MP3PRO.

• This product can play back a baseline JPEG file, excluding monochromatic JPEG files.

• This product can play back 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 product cannot play back animations such as MOTION JPEG, or still pictures (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG, and 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, display may take a long time. An image with a resolution of more than 8192 x 7680 pixels cannot be displayed.

• Files recorded on DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played back.

Introduction

Disc Structure

DVD VIDEO

A DVD VIDEO consists of "titles" and each title may be divided into "chapters".

Title 1 Title 2

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2

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 ( page 31).

Group 1 Group 2

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 1 Track 2

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.)

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5

MP3/WMA [JPEG] discs

On an MP3/WMA [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".

Up to 99 groups

Group 1 Group 2

Track 1

[File 1]

Track 2

[File 2]

Group 3 Group 4 Group 5

Up to 150 files

This product can recognize up to 1000 tracks [files] in a disc. Also, the product can recognize up to

150 tracks [files] per group and up to 99 groups in a disc. 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/WMA

[JPEG] files in a disc, those tracks [files] are also counted in the total file number.

About the Color System

Regarding TV mode

This product is suitable for NTSC. The discs using

TV mode other than NTSC (such as PAL) is converted into NTSC mode before playback.

NOTE

• Some discs may not be played properly, for example, the picture movement may not be smooth, or the aspect ratio (ratio of length and width) may be changed.

Setting Up the Unit

This products allows you to enjoy virtual surround sound using only the four speakers in the front, as it is equipped with the 4-speaker front surround function (See Pattern 1 in the diagram below).

In addition to 4-speaker front surround, Pattern 2 and Pattern 3 are available.

About Front Surround Function

(SP-NXDV3F)

Instead of the traditional 5.1 channel playback system, we have introduced a virtual surround system that utilizes four speakers situated in the front.

(CA-NXDV3)

Surround speaker

(SP-NX

DV3S)

Listening Point

• Mount the surround speakers on the supplied stand (see below) and place them in the center.

• With this setting, select "F1" in "Setting the

Speaker Position" ( page 10).

The mechanism is based on an original JVC technique in which two center speakers, separated by the average distance between two human ears, deal with the center signals and the surround signals, while the LFE

(low frequency sound effect) is added to steady the L channel signal and the R channel signal that are transmitted to the main speakers on the left and right sides.

A high quality digital amplifier drives the speakers at

30W x 4ch.

Characteristics of 4-Speaker Front Surround

• Our original speaker layout and signal processing does not only save space, but it also ensures a more realistic sound field.

• Since high quality sound is produced using basic 2 channel stereo, it is ideal for playing music.

• The center surround speaker allows listeners to enjoy realistic speech localization.

• It provides realistic surround effects, with wider listening points for both front and back areas.

Mounting the Surround

Speakers onto the Stand

1

As shown in the diagram, place one of the surround speakers on the supplied stand.

Place the speaker so that the speaker terminals face inside.

2

Fix the speaker to the stand from behind using the supplied screw.

Use a Phillips screwdriver.

NOTE

• When placing the surround speaker on a stand, such as a speaker stand, attach the foot seals to the surround speakers, depending on the way the speakers are placed ( page 9).

• When mounting the surround speakers on the wall, pay attention to the following:

• Obtain screws that are strong enough to mount the speakers to the wall.

• If the screws used are not strong enough or the speakers are not properly mounted, the speakers may fall down, causing injury or damaging other equipment. If you are not sure about the strength of the wall or other things, make sure to consult with a specialist.

• Give careful consideration to the place to which the speakers are mounted. If the speakers are mounted in areas that get in the way in daily lives or in locations where they can easily bump into people, it may result in injury or damage to the equipment.

Introduction

Convenient Functions/Reference

Restrictions on MDs

Because the MD recording method has some restrictions, the following phenomena may occur. The phenomena are not a malfunction of this product.

Phenomenon

"DISC FULL" appears even though recordable time as printed on the MD remains.

"DISC FULL" appears even though the track numbers and recordable time have not reached the limit.

You cannot join tracks or groups.

The remaining recordable time does not increase even after you have erased some tracks.

Sound drops out intermittently during fast forward or fast reverse.

Possible cause

Regardless of remaining recordable time, MDs have a limit on the number of recordable tracks. You cannot record 255 or more tracks to an MD. (You can record up to 254 tracks to an MD.)

Repeated partial erasure and recording creates many blanks on an MD.

When you record a track to such an MD, the track is split up and a small portion of the track is recorded into each blank.

When the number of such split portions increases, "DISC FULL" may appear.

When a split portion is 8 or less seconds (in SP mode (the standard stereo recording mode)), you cannot join the track with another track.

In addition, when you erase such portions, remaining recordable time does not increase.

With a track split into many portions, fast forward or fast reverse may produce intermittent sound dropouts.

You cannot join tracks that have different MDLP modes (SP/LP2/LP4).

Recorded time plus remaining time is shorter than the total recordable time printed on the MD.

MD recording is possible only when there is a blank of consecutive 12 or more seconds (in SP mode) on the MD. Actual recording time is shortened on an MD that contains many blanks.

Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)

The Serial Copy Management System protects copyright and allows only first-generation digital copies from the digitally recordable source.

CAUTION

• The SCMS does not permit you to record sound from a digitally recorded MD to other media as digital sound.

High Speed Copy Management System (HCMS)

You can record sound to an MD at a higher speed than normal recording. Therefore, restrictions are required in order to protect copyright.

When you use this product to record a track of a CD with the high speed recording function, this product does not then permit you to use the high speed recording function to record the same track of the CD to an MD within 74 minutes of the start of the first recording.

For instance, when you record the track 1 of a CD to an MD with the high speed recording function, you cannot record the track 1 again to an MD with the high speed recording function for 74 minutes after the first high speed recording started. In addition, you cannot record 101 or more tracks within 74 minutes with the high speed recording function.

71


Handling Discs/MDs

Reference

Handling discs

• Do not put adhesive tape or stickers, or write on a disc.

• Do not bend a disc.

• Be sure not to use heart/flower shaped discs or other irregularly shaped discs. The use of such discs damages the main unit.

Cleaning discs

Signal surface

Cleaning the main unit cabinet

• Gently dust the cabinet surface with a soft dry cloth. When the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the cloth with a neutral detergent diluted with water, wring out the cloth well, and then wipe the cabinet with the dampened cloth followed by a soft dry cloth.

• Do not wipe the cabinet with thinners or benzenes. Wiping it with these agents may cause discoloration of the cabinet or removal of the paint. Do not spray insecticides or other highly volatile agents onto the cabinet. Do not leave pieces of rubber or plastic on the cabinet for a long period.

Wipe a disc from the center outward with a soft cloth.

Scratches concentrated on a certain part cause sound dropout.

• Be sure not to use thinners, benzenes, cleaners for analog records, or other chemical agents.

Handling MDs

• Do not open the shutter. Forcibly opening the shutter will break the MD.

Preventing the loss of important recorded sound

• A write protect knob is attached to an MD for preventing accidental erasure of recorded sound.

Write protect knob

Close the write protect knob before recording or editing.

Open the write protect knob to avoid erasing sound.

NOTE

• Do not put labels such as those indicating CD/track titles or other notes on any part of an MD other than the specified position. If you insert an MD with a label extending beyond the specified area, a label that is peeling off, or any other improperly attached label, it may damage the main unit.

FAQ

■About Disc

Q: Can I play DVD videos or video CDs I purchased in foreign countries?

A: If the region number (local number) includes

"ALL" or "1", and the video format is NTSC, you can play DVD videos. About video CDs, if the video format is NTSC, you can do it.

Check the cover of your disc.

Q: Is it possible to play a DVD video without a region number (local number)?

A: Discs with region numbers (local numbers) show that they meet standard requirements.

DVD videos that do not meet standard requirements cannot be played.

■About Sound

Q: Can I play discs with "Dolby Digital EX" printed?

A: You can, as Dolby Digital EX is compatible with Dolby Digital.

However, if you wish to obtain the original effect, you need to connect the unit to a compatible amplifier or a receiver with a built-in surround decoder or decoder, by using the unit's digital output terminal. To do this, set

[Digital OUT] to "Stream/PCM" in the sound setting screen of the unit.

Q: Can I play discs with "DTS ES" printed?

A: Yes you can.

However, if you wish to obtain the original effect, you need to connect the unit to a DTS

ES enabled amplifier or a receiver with a built-in surround decoder or decoder, by using the unit's DVD digital output terminal.

To do this, set [Digital OUT] to "Stream/PCM" in the sound setting screen of the unit.

Q: What sort of disc has "THX" printed on it?

Can I play that disc on this unit?

A: Yes you can.

"THX" is a name of an original division and standard for high quality recording of pictures/sounds or playback established by

Lucasfilm Ltd in the U.S. It designates the discs and equipment that meet that standard, but it does not designate a recording format type.

Q: When both MP3/WMA format and audio CD format are recorded on a single CD, can I play both of them?

A: In that case, because the tracks have been recorded with data CD format, the tracks on the audio CD cannot be played back. You can play back only the MP3/WMA format tracks.

Introduction

Q: Dolby digital discs sometimes contain two types of surround sounds; 5.1-channel surround and Dolby surround. What is the difference?

A: Both are surround sound standards developed by Dolby Institute in the U.S. Dolby surround is created by recording the surround components (2ch) on top of the regular analog stereo sounds (left/right), and then separates and plays back the sounds using Dolby surround and Dolby Pro Logic decoder.

With Dolby digital (5.1ch-surround), a maximum 6-channel system in total, which includes the front left, the front right, the center, the rear left, the rear right, and LFE (Low

Frequency effect: for lower sound signals such as sub-woofers) can be digitalized, compressed and independently recorded before they are played back using Dolby Digital decoder.

Although it depends on how the sounds are recorded, generally speaking, Dolby digital produces better a sound field effect.

■About Picture

Q: I can see small mosaic-like patterns on the screen of DVD videos or video CDs. Does this mean there is something wrong with the unit?

A: This is something unique to digitally recorded moving pictures (block noise) and that does not mean there is something wrong with the unit.

■Others

Q: Some discs do not respond to the operations explained in this Users Manual.

A: Some discs may not respond to the operations on this unit, because of reasons such as the contents creators' intentions or structural limitations.

Q: Can I record DVD video contents onto a videotape?

A: Since most DVD contents are copy protected, you cannot record the contents to a videotape.

Q: Can I record with this unit?

A: No you cannot.

Glossary

B.S.P.

Static pictures from DVD audios may include not only the pictures displayed automatically together with the audio playback, but also the pictures that can be optionally selected by users. These pictures are called B.S.P (Browsable Still Picture).

Component

This is one of the video signals and refers to the signal of the three primary colors of light (R/G/B) and the other picture signal (color difference signal: Y /CB/

CR) that has been efficiently converted based on R/

G/B. Since each signal is transmitted via a separate signal line, it makes it possible to transmit high quality pictures.

Dolby Digital

This is one of the surround modes. It is capable of dealing with up to 5.1 channel in total, which includes front 3-channel, surround 2-channel, and sub-woofer

0.1-channel.

Dolby Surround

This is one of the surround modes. It records the total

4-channel sound signals of front surround into 2channel signals and then converts them back to 4channel signals via a special decoder when they are played back. Since the sounds are recorded with 2channel, you can produce natural sounds even if you connect it to stereo equipment.

Down Mix

This refers to the function that allows you to play back the multi-channel sound tracks recorded with a surround mode (3 or greater channels), mixing with stereo 2-channel sounds.

D-Range Control

This function allows you to understand relatively low sounds such as dialog clearly, even if you turn down the volume of the TV in a loud volume scene, when playing a DVD video recorded with Dolby Digital.

DTS (Digital Theater System)

This is one of the surround modes that offer a maximum 5.1ch (same as Dolby Digital). Since this format uses low sound compression rate, thicker sounds with less noise can be produced.

Dynamic Range

This refers to the difference between the largest point and the smallest point of the sound level.

Interlace Scanning (Jump Scanning)

This is a traditional video format, mainly used by TV.

JPEG (Joint Photographic coding Experts Group)

This is a static picture information compression format this is used widely for Internet and digital cameras.

Linear PCM Sound

This is one of the methods that convert analog sound signals into digital sound signals. It does not require compression at all at the time of conversion.

MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing)

This is a name of the multi-channel sound compression format employed by DVD audios. The compression ratio is about 1/2, and the compressed data can be completely restored because a reversible data compression method is available. It allows you to play back high quality sounds.

MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3)

This is the international standard for sound information compression format that allows you to compress data to one tenth its original size, without greatly impairing the original sound quality.

MPEG Audio

This is a surround format that allows you to compress sound data. It is capable of handling a maximum 7.1 channels.

NTSC

This is the TV/video format used in countries such as

Japan and the U.S. In European countries, other formats (PAL or SECAM) are used. Since the number of frames and the number of scanning lines are different, the two formats are incompatible with each other.

Packet write method

This is one of the methods used to record data onto

CD-R/RW that allows you to further divide tracks before recording, depending on the free space available on the disc. This unit is unable to play back the sounds on CD-R/RW discs that have been recorded using this method.

PBC (Playback Control)

This is the signal recorded with Video CDs (Version2) to control the playback operation. You can use the menu screen of recorded PBC enabled video CDs to run interactive software and software with searching capabilities. Furthermore, with video CDs on which high definition still pictures are recorded, it allows you to playback the still picture using resolution more than four times larger than that for playing moving pictures.

Progressive scanning method (sequential scanning)

This is the scanning method, used with DVD videos and others, that enables you to display high quality pictures without the flickering that normally accompanies pictures produced using the interlacing scanning method.

Region Number (Managing areas where tracks can be played)

This refers to the system in which tracks on a disc can be played only in the specified areas. You cannot play tracks on a disc if the region number on the disc and the region number on the DVD player do not correspond.

Resume Playback

It refers to resuming playback from the point where you have paused.

Screen Saver

Displaying a still picture on a TV screen for a long time may sometimes cause screen burning, leaving a burned-in image of the still picture. The screen saver function prevents it from occurring.

VFP (Video Fine Processor) function

This is our original function that enables fine-tuning

(adjustment) of pictures. It allows you to adjust items such as gamma correction to select brightness, contrast, and intermediate brightness of the pictures, depending on the preferences you make for your software or room conditions. It even enables you to display smooth pictures with deep tones, thus producing a level of picture quality in movie films that has been difficult to achieve so far.

WMA (Acronyms for Windows MediaR Audio)

This is the sound compression format developed by

Microsoft Corporation in the U.S.
