DISC
YOU CAN PLAY
While advances have been made to ensure that your disc player is compatible with the largest number of discs possible, however it cannot be guaranteed that you will be able to play discs which might not be compliant with audio
CD standards. In the case of writable and rewritable discs, compatibility with this player depends on the CD/DVD writer, the right software and the disc used.
DVD-Video
Digital video discs - 12 cm and 8 cm, single or double sided, single or dual layer. DVDs are high-density optical discs on which high quality picture and audio are recorded by means of digital signals.
DVD-R, DVD-RW
Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording only), DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs
(rewritable). Depending on the DVD writer and discs used. Recordings using
DVD-R and DVD-RW discs must be made in Video DVD mode. Recordings using DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with the specifications for DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB capacity.
Video CD(VCD)
VCD stands for Video Compact Disc which contains video footage, still images, audio tracks and interactive menus.
Audio CDs
Audio CDs (8 and 12 cm).
CD+G
CD+G is a Karaoke music format. The song words will be displayed on the TV screen and change color when it is time to sing the lyrics. There are no video scenes (movies) in the background.
CD-R & CD-RW
Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW discs (rewritable). This player can play most CD-R discs. CD-Rs written during a multi-session recording can also be played, provided that the session has ended before the disc is played (depending on the write software). However, depending on the condition of the CD writer, computer and the disc used, you may find that not all discs will play successfully. When playing a CD-R disc, it is completely normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognize the disc before starting to play. If the disc is not recognized after a period of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and then insert it again.
• Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of the CD-R, do not use its full capacity.
• CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty.
• Use reliable, good-quality CD write software.
• Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.
MP3 Files
CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio files in MP3 format. As for CD-R
MP3 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, along with the comments below:
• Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format. ISO 9660 format and
Joliet MP3 files are compatible with Microsoft’s DOS and Windows, as well as with Apple Mac. These two formats are the most widely used.
• MP3 filenames should not exceed 12 characters, and should end with the
“.MP3” extension. General name format: “Title.MP3”. When composing your title ensure that you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including ( . , / , \ , = ,+).
• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128kB/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording MP3 files. Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression / decompression you choose. Obtaining audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is converted to MP3 format, of at least 128kB/sec and up to 160kB/sec. Choosing higher rates, such as 192 kB/sec or more, will rarely produce better sound quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates below 128kB/sec will not play properly.
• Do not try recording copyright-protected MP3 files. “Secured” files are encrypted and code-protected to prevent illegal copying. You must not copy such files.
Important:
The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (i.e.
degraded sound quality and even, in some cases, inability of the player to read the file).
WMA Files
CD-R with WMA files. Usable format similar to MP3 files; also see “MP3
Files” for reference.
JPEG Files
CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG files. JPEG is compressed image file format. Your player can play JPEG files with a resolution of up to five million (5 mega) pixels.
However, there is no perceptible improvement in the quality of pictures displayed on your TV screen beyond 400,000 pixels.
Certain JPEG files, including progressive JPEG files, cannot be read by this player.
Note: Display time will vary according to the file size and number of pixels of JPEG files. The limitation of JPEG files size is 2M bytes.
DivX Files
DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec which is based on the new
MPEG-4 compression standard for video. The correct playback of DivX files on this player depends on the preparation and production of the audio and video files, the codec used, the type of recording equipment used and the parameters of your computer. It may therefore happen that you cannot play a DivX file or that part or all of it is defective.
DivX disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows:
• The maximum resolution of the DivX file is below 720x576 (WxH) pixel.
• DivX filename should not exceed 56 characters.
• If the video and audio structure of recorded file is not interleaved, either video or audio is outputted.
• If the file is recorded with GMC, the unit supports only 1-point GMC. GMC is the acronym for Global Motion Compensation .It is an encoding tool specified in
MPEG4 standard. Some MPEG4 encoders, like DivX or XviD, have this option.
There are different levels of GMC encoding, usually called 1-point, 2-point, or 3point GMC.

Dolby Digital Surround
The Dolby Digital Surround system requires connections of all 5 speakers
(front left, center, front right, surround right, surround left) for the correct surround sound reproduction.This 5.1 channel digital surround format enables five individual full-range (120Hz-20KHz) channels plus an LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel for the low-range (20Hz-120Hz) effects. It creates a realistic sound similar to the theaters and cinemas. A large proportion of DVD discs use this system for sound.
Dolby Pro Logic II Surround
The Dolby Pro Logic II Surround system is the next generation in Dolby
Surround decoding. It creates five full-bandwidth output channels from twochannel sources.
This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations. Diferent mode Pro Logic II mode are available:
Pro Logic - it offers users the robust surround processing of the original Pro Logic.
Music - it’s recommended as the standard mode for autosound music systems (without video), and is optional for A/V systems.
Movie - It can be called simply “Pro Logic II”. It has stereo surround channels and no surround filter, unlike Pro Logic which has a mono surround channels and a 7KHz surround filter. Movie mode is the standard required for all A/V systems.
Dimension - A simple control that alters the ratio of L+R to L-R for the two-channel
input signals. It allows the user to gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear. If a recording is too spacious or strong from the surrounds, it can be adjusted “forward” to get a better balance.
Likewise, if a stereo recording is somewhat too “mono” or “narrow” sounding,
it can be adjusted toward the rear to get a more enveloping, immersing result.
Panorama - Extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an
exciting “wraparound” effect with side-wall imaging.
Center Width Control - With Pro Logic decoding, dominant center signals can come only from the center speaker. If no center speaker is present, the decoder splits the center signals equally to the left and right speakers to create a “phantom” center image. The Center Width control allows variable adjustment of the center image so it may be heard only from the center speaker; only from the left/right speakers as a phantom image; or from all three front speakers to varying degrees.
Note: Pro Logic II mode is disabled when playing MP3/WMA.
3 Stereo
3 Stereo produces three channels (front left, center, front right) of sound from a two channels analog signal. It is not a surround format so it does not require surround speakers.
Soundfield Effects
The digital Soundfield Effects recreates the effects of sounds reflected from walls or ceilings to obtain the sound presence of real environments.
Stadium: recreates a large stadium using very long reverberation times.
Stage: recreates a stage environment, emphasizing sound from the front speakers.
Hall: recreates a hall using lots of reflections. Suitable for orchestral music such as classical and opera.
Disco: recreates the disco or club music effect. It is suitable for all types of music that are played in disco.
Live: suitable for all types of music.

Your player is an Official DivX Certified product that Plays DivX 5, DivX 4, DivX 3, and DivX VOD video content, in compliance with DivX Certified technical requirements. The correct playing of DivX in your player, depends on the preparation and production of the audio and video files, the codecs used, the type of recording equipment employed and the parameters of your computer. It is therefore possible that you cannot play a DivX file or that part or all of it is defective. It also sometimes happens that you can play the image (video) but not the sound (audio).
Note: To guarantee playback of DivX files the audio must be mp3 format. DivX
Certified devices can play back any interleaved mp3 audio at any bitrate, both CBR and VBR. The audio must be sampled at standard frequencies, such as 32 kHz, 44.1
kHz, and 48kHz, and must conform to the AVI file specification. Apart from mp3, the audio formats recognised by your player are MPEG layer 1/2, AC3, DTS, PCM.
Formats such as AAC and Ogg Vorbis are not supported by this player.
1. Open the tray by pressing the button, insert the disc and then press again the
button to close the tray.
2. The disc’s contents are displayed. Select the DivX file that you wish to play with
and buttons and press OK to select it.
Noted: To delete your selection, press the CLEAR button.
3. Press to start playback.
A note on copying: Before making use of DivX or mpeg4 files, please be sure of their origin and that you have legally purchased or rented the contents. Pirate copying is illegal and may result in sanctions. Private copies of your own material for your own use may be legal in some countries. Make sure you are aware of applicable laws.
To rent (purchase) DivX VOD files
DivX VOD files are similar to DVD video rental discs. The difference lies in the access to the media. DivX VOD files are downloaded after paying a rental from certain commercial web sites. Prior to downloading a VOD you need to input the registration number of your DVD player on the purchase form of the site.
Follow the instructions below to find the registration number of your player:
1. Insert a disc.
2. In the DVD menu, select DivX. The registration number is displayed on the screen of the television set.
3. Write down this VOD 8-character registration number in order to fill in the form on the web site you purchase your DivX VOD files from.
Note: If you cannot play a DivX VOD file recorded on a CD-R disc after downloading it, the rental period allocated during purchasing from the web site may have expired.
It may also be that the recorded file is not compatible with your player because of different versions or incorrect download parameters. The parameters used during the copying to CD-R may also be a cause. Since it is not possible here to supply all the information, parameters and advice relating to the use of DivX VOD files, we recommend that you visit specialised web sites such as www.divx.com/vod.
