DVD Audio Discs

DVD Audio is a new disc format building on the success of DVD to provide high quality, uncompressed, multi-channel audio for a new experience in audio quality. A DVD Audio disc can be identified by the DVD audio logo on the disc jacket or on the disc itself.

DVD Audio can provide higher quality stereo than

Audio CDs with a sampling rate of up to 192kHz

(compared to 44.1kHz for CDs). DVD Audio digital sound can be delivered with up to 24 bits of data

(compared to 16 bits for a standard CD).

A typical DVD Audio disc contains up to seven times the data capacity of a CD. This additional space is used for music, either Advanced Resolution multichannel sound quality that is closer to the artist’s master recording or for longer recordings. Many DVD

Audio discs contain on-screen text, such as artist biographies, playlists, or lyrics. Some DVD Audio discs contain photo galleries or video clips.

Moving to another GROUP

Some DVD Audio discs divide content into different groups. Your player enables you to quickly access different groups during playback via the on-screen display.

1. Press DISPLAY during playback on in stop mode.

2. Press 3

4 to select Group icon.

3. Press 1/2 or the numbered buttons (0-9) to select a group number.

Note:

Sometimes the author of the disc creates hidden content that can only be accessed by entering a password. If the lock icon appears on the TV screen, enter the password (sometimes you’ll find it on the disc’s jacket cover or on a web site). This password control isn’t dictated by your DVD Player — it is a function of the disc.

Since the authoring of DVD Audio Discs varies, some of the on-screen display choices might not be available for the disc you’re playing.

Note:

To enjoy maximum sound quality and surround effect of DVD Audio, you must use 5.1 channel analog audio output (5.1CH AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD Player).

If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) for your audio connection, the sound will only be similar to CD-quality sound even though you’re playing a DVD Audio disc.

Viewing another PAGE

Since DVD Audio discs can hold a lot of content, there are various ways to see what’s available on the disc.

1. Press DISPLAY during playback.

2. Press 3

4 to select Page icon.

3. Press 1/2 to select a page number.

What appears on the screen will vary from disc to disc because the information available depends upon the way the disc was created.

Note:

Since the authoring of DVD Audio Discs varies, some of the on-screen display choices might not be available for the disc you’re playing.

MP3 / WMA disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows:

• Sampling frequency: within 8 - 48 kHz (MP3), within 32 - 48kHz (WMA)

• Bit rate: within 8 - 320kbps (MP3),

32 - 192kbps (WMA)

• The player cannot read an MP3/WMA file that has a file extension other than “.mp3” / “.wma”.

• CD-R physical format should be ISO 9660

• If you record MP3 / WMA files using software that cannot create a file system (eg. Direct-CD) it is impossible to playback MP3 / WMA files. We recommend that you use Easy-CD Creator, which creates an ISO 9660 file system.

• File names should have a maximum of 8 letters and must incorporate an .mp3 or .wma extension.

• They should not contain special letters such as /

? * : “ < > l etc.

• The total number of files on the disc should be less than 650.

This DVD Player requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats

(including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.

Customers should note that permission is required in order to download MP3 / WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.
