DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, CD-ROM,

PHOTO CD, CD-EXTRA, CD-G, CD-TEXT, SACD,

MIX-MODE CD

• Playing back discs listed as “Non-playable discs” above may generate noise and damage speakers.

• This unit can play back audio signals recorded in CD-G,

CD-EXTRA, CD-TEXT and MIX-MODE CD discs.

Audio formats

There are some audio formats recorded on discs as shown below.

• Linear PCM

Uncompressed digital audio, the same format used on

CDs and most studio masters.

DVD AUDIO supports up to six channels at sample rates of 48/96/192 kHz (also 44.1/88.2/176.4 kHz) and sample sizes of 16/20/24 bits.

DVD VIDEO supports two channels at sampling rates of 48/96 kHz and quantization of 16/20/24 bits.

Audio CD/Video CD is limited to two channels,

44.1 kHz at 16 bits.

• Dolby Digital

A surround audio format configured with six channels. Because the “LFE (Low-Frequency Effect for sub-woofer, etc.)” channel, one of the six channels, is an auxiliary channel, this format is called “5.1-channel system.”

Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channel information.

• DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

A surround audio format configured with six (5.1) channels, which is the same as Dolby Digital. Because the compression ratio is lower than Dolby Digital, it provides wider dynamic range and better separation.

Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channel information.

• MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing)

A format for DVD AUDIO with the compression ratio of about 2:1 while allowing the PCM signal to be completely recreated by the MLP decoder (required in all DVD AUDIO players). It supports up to 192kHz/24bit.

The associated indicator lights up in the display window when playing back a disc.

Indicator* Audio format

LPCM Linear PCM

DOLBY DIGITAL Dolby Digital

DTS DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

* When playing back a DVD AUDIO disc recorded by

MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing; a lossless audio compression system that can completely recreate the

PCM signal), no indicator lights up in the display window.

Note that, with some formats and/or depending on the unit’s “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” setting, digital audio signals are not always output from the unit’s DIGITAL

OUT jacks as are recorded on the disc.

See “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” on page 64 for details.


Disc structure

(For DVD AUDIO)

A DVD AUDIO disc is comprised of “groups,” and each group is comprised of “tracks.” Some DVD AUDIO discs also contain a “bonus group” that can be played back by entering the “key number” (a kind of password). Usually the contents of a “bonus group” are not opened to the public. Note that most DVD AUDIO discs include other information in addition to audio, such as still pictures, movies and text.

Group 1 Group 2

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3

(For DVD VIDEO)

A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of “titles” and each title may be divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a

DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO KARAOKE disc, each song usually has its own title number and does not have chapters.

Care and handling of discs

How to handle discs

When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the player to malfunction.

(For SVCD/Video CD/Audio CD)

An SVCD, Video CD or Audio CD is simply comprised of

“tracks.”

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4

Video CDs and SVCDs with Playback

Control function

What is Playback Control (PBC) function?

The Playback Control function, allows you to enjoy menu-driven operation and high-resolution still images which have a resolution four times greater than moving pictures.

• High-resolution still image display

You can display high-quality images four times clearer than moving pictures.

• Menu-driven playback

A selection menu is displayed when you start playing an SVCD and Video CD disc with the

Playback Control feature. The selection menu shows a list of numbers for selection. Some discs may show moving pictures or a divided screen.

You can interact with the screen using a menu display to select and play an entry.

See example illustration below about basic feature of menu-driven playback (for details about PBC, see also page 30).

Label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high.

Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards.

If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.

CAUTION

Sometimes during play images may be garbled or noisy. This is sometimes due to the disc.

The unit supports the Progressive scanning system as well as the conventional Interlaced scanning system.

If your television or monitor equipped with component jacks support the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by making the Progressive scanning mode active.

NOTES

• When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is lit. The color of the indicator differs depending on the “PROGRESSIVE MODE” setting on the “PICTURE” preference display and the status of the unit (see pages 8 and 63).

• When connecting to a TV using the VIDEO or S-VIDEO jack, make sure that the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is not lit. If it is lit, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed the correct signals. To turn off the PROGRESSIVE indicator, make the Progressive scanning mode inactive by following the procedure described on page 8.

• When the component video input jacks on the TV is of the BNC type, use an adapter to convert a pin jack to a BNC jack

(optional).

• Set “ANALOG OUT” in the “AUDIO” preference display to “2-CH STEREO” (see page 65).

• If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo audio output to monaural.

• To improve audio sound quality, connect the AUDIO OUT jacks to your separate audio equipment (see pages 9, 10).

• If your TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV COMPU LINK function. See “AV COMPU LINK remote control system” on page 75 for details.

About SCANNING MODE

To display video on the television (monitor) screen, the conventional scanning method is called “Interlaced scanning.”

With this method, only half of the horizontal lines are displayed at a time. So two fields complete a single picture

(frame); i.e., the first field, containing all the odd-numbered lines, is displayed followed by the second field, containing all the even-numbered lines.

On the other hand, the Progressive scanning system scans all horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the number of pictures compared with the interlaced scanning, resulting in flicker-free, high-density picture.

To enjoy the progressive scanned video, a monitor (or TV or projector) to be connected to the unit must have the

Progressive inputs.

Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO discs can be classified into two types; film source and video source (note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source). Film sources are recorded as 24frame-per-second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-per-second interlaced) information.

When the unit plays back a film source material, uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using the original information. When a video source material is played back, the unit interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Getting started

To make the Progressive scanning mode selection active

The unit supports the Progressive scanning system as well as the conventional Interlaced scanning system. If your television or monitor supports the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by making the Progressive scanning mode active.

The unit can play back MP3 files on a private CD-R/RW disc or commercial CD. We refer to a disc that contains

MP3 file as an “MP3 disc” in this manual.

Though available functions with MP3 discs are limited, operations for the available functions are similar to those with Audio CD discs.

Note that, if a disc contains both of MP3 and JPEG files, you can only play back files of either type selected by the

MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display

(see page 64).

What is MP3?

“MP3” stands for “MPEG Audio Layer-3,” and is the part of the MPEG standard. It can store high quality stereo audio using very little space by only saving the audible sounds and discarding the sounds your ears won’t pick up. A CD can store up to around 10 hours of

MP3 audio, which is 10 times as much as Audio CD.

NOTE

About MP3 disc

On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on a file. Files are sometimes grouped into a folder by artist, album, category, etc. In addition, a folder can be a member of another folder, creating hierarchical folder layers. If you are familiar with a personal computer, you may easily understand the hierarchical file/folder construction of MP3 discs.

This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages files and folders by “Tracks” and “Groups” in the following manners.

• Each file is regarded as a Track.

• A folder which has one or more files (Tracks) is regarded as a Group.

• A folders’ folder which does not manage any file directly is ignored.

• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “Group 1.”

• The unit recognizes up to 150 Tracks per Group, and up to 99 Groups per disc. It ignores those exceeding the maximum numbers and cannot play back them. If there is any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder. Those files are also counted down from the total number of 150.

Group 1 Group 2

Track 1

Group 1' up to 150 Tracks per Group up to 99 Groups per disc

NOTES for making a private MP3 disc using a CD-R/CD-RW disc:

• Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.

• Finalize the disc after completing recording.

• We recommend to record a material at 44.1-kHz Fs and at the 128-kbps data transfer rate.

NOTES

• Some discs may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording condition.

• Some tracks on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not be played back normally because of the disc configuration or characteristics determined by the writing (encoding) software and hardware used for recording. Such symptoms may occur regardless of whether using a disc you recorded or using a commercially available disc.

• The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.

• The unit does not support the ID3 tag.

• If the disc is recorded with multiple sessions, the unit supports up to five sessions.

• You cannot play back Tracks in the desired

(programmed) or random order.

• The unit only can play back Tracks with any of the following file extensions; “.MP3”, “.Mp3”, “.mp3” and

“.mP3”.

• Time required for reading the disc contents differs with discs, depending on the numbers of Groups (folders) and Tracks (files) recorded, etc.

• While an MP3 disc is loaded, you cannot bring up any preference display (see pages 60 and 61).

The unit can play back JPEG files on a private CD-R/RW disc. We refer to a disc that contains JPEG files as a

“JPEG disc” in this manual.

Note that, if a disc contains both of MP3 and JPEG files, you can only play back files of either type selected by the

MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display

(See page 64).

What is JPEG?

“JPEG” is an abbreviation for the Joint Photographic

Experts Group and is an image format that utilizes a compression technique.

There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.

• baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, web, etc.

• progressive JPEG: used for web

• lossless JPEG: an old type and rarely used now

The unit supports only the baseline JPEG type, therefore, it cannot display pictures of the other types

(progressive and lossless). If a JPEG disc contains

JPEG files of non-baseline type, the unit recognizes those files as JPEG files, the JPEG CONTROL display and the display window shows the information of the contents (file name, file number, etc.), but you cannot show the still pictures of those files (the TV screen appears only in black and “NON PLAYABLE FILE” is shown in the display window).

NOTE

About JPEG disc

On a JPEG disc, each material (still picture) is recorded on a file. Files may be grouped into a folder by category, etc. In addition, a folder can be a member of another folder, creating hierarchical folder layers. If you are familiar with a personal computer, you may easily understand the hierarchical file/folder construction of JPEG discs.

• A folders’ folder which does not manage any file directly is ignored.

• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “Group 1.”

• The unit recognizes up to 150 files per Group, and up to 99 Groups per disc. It ignores those exceeding the maximum numbers and cannot play back them. If there is any type of files other than JPEG files in a folder. Those files are also counted down from the total number of 150.

Group 1 file 1

Group 1' up to 150 files per directory

Group 2 up to 99 Groups per disc

NOTES for making a private JPEG disc using a CD-R/CD-RW disc:

• Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.

• Finalize the disc after completing recording.

• We recommend to record a material at “640 x 480” resolution.

• The unit supports only the baseline JPEG type, therefore, it cannot display pictures of the other types

(progressive and lossless). If a JPEG disc contains JPEG files of non-baseline type, the unit recognizes those files as JPEG files. the JPEG CONTROL display and the display window shows the information of the contents

NOTES

• The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.

• If the disc is recorded with multiple sessions, the unit supports up to five sessions.

• Some discs may not be played back, or take some times to open the whole picture because of the disc characteristics or recording condition.

• You cannot play back files in the desired (programmed) or random order.

• The screen saver function is activated while same picture is displayed for more than 5 minutes except during slide show playback (see page 57).

• The unit only can play back files with any of the following file extensions; “.jpg”, “.jpeg”, “.JPG”, “.JPEG” and any uppercase and lowercase combination (such as

“.Jpg”).

• If a JPEG file name includes any 2-byte character, the unit may not show the file name correctly.

• When a picture resolution is more than “640 x 480”, it takes some time to open the whole picture.

• Carry out an operation after opening the whole picture.The unit does not accept any operation

(Stopping the unit, zooming in/out a picture etc.) while opening the picture.

• Time required for reading the disc contents differs with discs, depending on the numbers of Groups (folders) and files recorded, etc.

• If you play back a non-baseline JPEG file:

The unit cannot display the still picture of the file. (The

TV screen appears only in black.) In this case, other operations (such as stopping playback, selecting a file, etc.) are possible but may take a long time.

• While a JPEG disc is loaded, you cannot bring up any preference display (see pages 60 and 61).

• The available horizontal resolution of a JPEG file is up to

DVD VIDEO discs recorded for wide screen televisions.

• 16:9 NORMAL (Wide Television screen)

•

Should be selected when you connect the unit to a wide-screen

(16:9) TV whose aspect ratio is fixed to 16:9 (the unit automatically adjusts the screen width of the output signal correctly when playing back a “4:3” source).

16:9 AUTO (Wide Television screen)

Should be selected when you connect a wide-screen (16:9) TV to the unit.

• If you play back a “4:3” DVD VIDEO source with the “16:9 NORMAL” mode, the picture character slightly changes due to the process for converting the picture width.

• 4:3 LB (Letter Box Conversion)

Should be selected when you connect a normal (4:3) TV to the unit.

When playing back a DVD VIDEO disc recorded by the wide picture format, the picture is shown with black bars at the top and bottom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question

Can I play back DVD VIDEO and Video CD purchased abroad?

Can I play back a DVD VIDEO disc without any Region

Code number?

Answer

You can play back the DVD VIDEO discs with the Region

Code (local code) containing “ALL” or “1” recorded in the NTSC or PAL system (PAL disc signals are reproduced by converting to the NTSC system). You can also play back the Video CD discs recorded in the NTSC system. Please check the information on each disc jacket.

The Region code indicates the conformity of the disc to the standards.

Any DVD VIDEO not conforming to the standards cannot be played back.

No, you cannot play back that disc.

Can I play back a CD-R/RW disc with still pictures in other than the JPEG format?

Can I play back audio on a disc labeled “Dolby Digital

EX”?

Can I play back audio on a disc labeled “DTS ES”?

Is there any difference in the playback settings between

Discrete and Matrix recording systems for DTS ES?

Can this unit play back a disc labeled “THX”?

What does “THX” mean?

Yes, you can play back the disc because Dolby Digital EX is compatible with Dolby Digital. However, to get the maximum performance of Dolby Digital EX, we recommend to connect the DIGITAL OUT jack to a decoder or amplifier/receiver with built-in decoder that supports Dolby Digital EX. In this case, set “DIGITAL

AUDIO OUTPUT” on the “AUDIO” preference display to

“STREAM/PCM.”

Though you cannot enjoy audio using the analog audio outputs (AUDIO OUT), you can enjoy DTS ES audio by connecting the DIGITAL OUT jack to a decoder or amplifier/receiver with built-in decoder that supports

DTS ES. In this case, set “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” on the “AUDIO” preference display to “STREAM/PCM.”

Yes you can. “THX” is a name of the original standard for high quality picture/audio recording and playback established by Lucasfilm Ltd. A disc labeled “THX” is certified that it passed this standard.

When files of the MP3 and Audio CD formats are recorded on a same disc, can the unit play back files of both formats?

Some Dolby Digital discs contain 5.1-ch Surround or

Dolby Surround audio data. What is the difference between these two types?

When playing back a DVD VIDEO or Video CD disc, something like mosaic appears on the TV screen. Is this because of a malfunction of the unit?

The unit does not function as described in this

Instruction Manual.

The disc is of the data CD format, therefore, the unit can play back only files of the MP3 format.

Both are surround sound standards developed by Dolby

Laboratories Inc. in the U.S.A.

Dolby Surround records 2-channel surround audio information are recorded onto the analog stereo (left and right) channels together with front stereo audio information. When played back, the surround signals are separated by a Dolby Surround or Dolby Pro Logic decoder.

Dolby Digital digitally encodes and records up to six channel information for left, right, center, rear left, rear right and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect for Sub-woofer etc.).

When played back, a Dolby Digital decoder decodes data and outputs signals separately.

Generally, Dolby Digital sounds better.

It is a block noise specific to a motion picture recorded in digital, and is not a malfunction of the unit.

Can I record DVD VIDEO data on a video tape?

Can this unit record data?

The operation of this unit may occasionally be unacceptable due to the intention of the disc contents creator and/or structural restrictions.

Most of all DVD VIDEO discs are copy-protected so that you cannot record DVD VIDEO data onto any video tape.

No, you cannot.

Aspect ratio

A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV. It is the width of the picture relative to the height. The conventional TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.

Bitstream

The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Channel, CH

Stereo or multichannel audio consists of “channel” signals. “Stereo” audio consists of left and right channels, while 5.1-channel Dolby Digital consists of six channels (front left, front right, rear left, rear right, center and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect) channel for sub-woofer, etc.).

Chapter

The smallest division on DVD VIDEO. It is a division of a title and similar to a track for Audio CD or Video CD.

Systems.

Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channel information.

Dynamic range

The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.

Dynamic range compression

The dynamic range compression (DRC) reduces the dynamic range so that you can turn down the volume to avoid disturbing others yet still hear the detail of quiet passages.

Extension

Several letters at the end of a file name. File name extensions usually follow a period and indicate the type of information stored in the file.

Finalize

When conducting multisession recording, this means the closing of a session (fixing) by indicating the halting of writing so as to prevent the addition of any more sessions.

Fs

See “Sampling frequency.”

Group

The largest division on DVD AUDIO.

ID3 tag

The tag embedded in an MP3 file indicating what songs, artists, and album they comes from. You can edit these tags.

Progressive scan

Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a single frame. A progressive-scanning DVD player converts the interlaced (480i) video from DVD into progressive

(480p) format for connection to a progressive display.

It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.

Region code

Code identifying a geographic region of compatibility for a DVD.

Sampling frequency

The rate at which measurements of an audio signal are taken during A/D and D/A conversion. The measure is samples per second.

Surround

An audio system with more than two (left and right) channels, usually including rear channels, etc.

S-video

A video signal which improves picture quality over standard composite connections. Used on Super VHS,

DVD, high end TV monitors, etc.

Title
