1) Read these instructions.

2) Keep these instructions.

3) Heed all warnings.

4) Follow all instructions.

5) Do not use this apparatus near water.

6) Clean only with dry cloth.

7) Do not block any ventilation openings.

Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.

The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

Do not rest the unit on your lap for a long time while using it. The unit can become hot and cause burns.

Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.

If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.

Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

Start your volume control at a low setting.

Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

Set the dial and leave it there.

[MP3]

This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.

If you play an MP3 track that includes still picture data, it will take some time before the music itself starts playing and the elapsed time will not be displayed during this time. Even after the track starts, the correct play time will not be displayed.

MP3 files must have the extension “.MP3” or

“.mp3”.

[JPEG]

To view JPEG files on this unit:

– Take them on a digital camera that meets the DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) standard. Some digital cameras have functions that are not supported by the

DCF standard like automatic picture rotation which may render a picture un-viewable.

– Do not alter the files in any way or save them under a different name.

– Ensure they have the extension “.JPG”,

“.jpg”, “.JPEG”, or “.jpeg”.

This unit cannot display moving pictures,

MOTION JPEG and other such formats, still pictures other than JPEG (e.g. TIFF) or play associated sound.

[WMA] [MP3] [JPEG]

Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2

(except for extended formats).

This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.

Naming folders and files

At the time of

e.g. MP3

recording, prefix folder and file root

001 group names with 3-digit numbers in the

001 order you want to play them (this may

001 track.mp3

Playing HighMAT discs

HighMAT (High performance Media Access

Technology) is a new standard for storing audio, image, and video data files on CD media. When you create a HighMAT CD using compliant PC software, you can make playlist settings and also record text information such as titles and artist names. File searching is made easy using

CDs recorded in HighMAT through use of a versatile navigation system. CDs recorded in

HighMAT can also be played on your PC.

This unit is compatible with HighMAT discs containing WMA, MP3, or JPEG data. There are some differences from other WMA/MP3/JPEG discs.

Digital recording

You can record the digital signal directly to digital recording equipment.

Connect the recording equipment with an optical fiber cable (

➡ [A] page 34).

Note

With DVD, the following conditions must be met: a the disc doesn’t have protection preventing digital recording, and b the recording equipment can handle signals with a sampling frequency of

48 kHz.

You cannot record WMA/MP3.

When recording DVDs, make the following settings.

Connect the recording equipment with the stereo connection cable (

➡ [B] page 34).

Glossary

Bitstream

The digital form of multi-channel data (e.g.,

5.1 channel) before decoding.

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on

DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on the disc using this method.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround channel is monaural and can reproduce up to

7 kHz.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that make moving pictures. About thirty are shown each second. A frame still may appear blurred but overall quality is high.

Two fields appear alternately to make up one frame. A field still is not blurred but picture quality is lower.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

I:

Intra coded picture

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated based on past I or

P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus.
