DISC INFORMATION (cont.)

File Structure of Discs

DVD VIDEO

Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called

“titles”. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called

“chapters”. Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are not divided into titles and chapters.

Title 1 Title 2

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2

Audio CD/Video CD

Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video

CD discs.

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4

NOTE:

Video CD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)

The still image or motion image which follows a menu screen is called a “scene”. Each scene has a scene number.

For more details, refer to “Locating a desired scene using the menu of the Video CD with PBC” (

墌 pg. 41).

Dolby Digital mark

Dolby Laboratories has developed a digital surround system for the home. This mark indicates that you may enjoy 5.1channel audio (front left and right, center, rear left and right, and a channel for LFE

(Low-Frequency Effects)).

DTS (Digital Theater System)

The DTS decoder on this unit enables you to enjoy DTS audio with the connected

TV’s speakers by converting 5.1 channel audio signals into 2 channel signals (DTS

Down Mixing). The decoder also outputs the original DTS 5.1 channel audio signals from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector on this unit.

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 unit to malfunction.

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 playback, noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.)

These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.

About MP3 Disc

This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the MP3 format

(we refer to those discs as MP3 discs in this manual).

Operations for MP3 discs are similar to those for Audio CD discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.

What is MP3?

MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG1 Audio Layer 3”. MPEG

Audio is a compression specification that compresses the audio portion only. This image compression method is used in DVD or

Video CD, etc. The audio data has been compressed into about

1/10.

On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on each Track

(file), which usually belongs to a Group (folder).


NOTES:

● Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition, some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start playback.

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

● If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc directly and do not belong to any Group (directory), the unit recognized them as belonging to an independent Group.

● The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3 disc in the alphabetical order.

● For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and

[three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then

[two]. Tracks in a Group are played back in the same way.

● Therefore, an MP3 disc on the market may be played back in the different order from the order printed on its sleeve.

MP3 disc

Track A.mp3

Track B.mp3

Track C.mp3

Group 2

Group 4

Group 1

Track D.mp3

Track E.mp3

Track F.mp3

Group 3

This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 150 Tracks per Group.

If a disc includes more than the Tracks above limit, the unit stops detecting Tracks when the number of detected Tracks reaches the limit and ignores the subsequent Tracks. The unit also ignores any non-MP3 file in the disc.

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

CD-RW disc:

● Select “ISO9660” as the disc format.

● Finalize the disc.

About JPEG Disc

This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the JPEG format

(we refer to those discs as JPEG discs in this manual).

Operations for JPEG discs are similar to those for Audio CD discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.

What is JPEG?

JPEG is the abbreviation of “Joint Photographic Expert Group”.

JPEG is a still-picture data compression system.

On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file, which usually belongs to a Group (folder).

NOTES:

● We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480, it will take a longer time to be displayed.)

● This unit supports the JPEG files whose resolution is 32 to

8192 pixel in width and 32 to 7680 pixel in height.

● This unit can only play back baseline JPEG files*. Progressive

JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played back.

* Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web, etc.

Progressive JPEG format: Used for web.

Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now.

● Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.

● Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition, some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start playback.

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

● If there are any Files which are stored on a disc directly and do not belong to any Group (directory), the unit recognized them as belonging to an independent Group.

● The unit plays back Groups/Files on an JPEG disc in the alphabetical order.

● For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and

[three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then

[two]. Files in a Group are played back in the same way.

● Therefore, an JPEG disc on the market may be played back in the different order from the order printed on its sleeve.
