CD-R MP3/WMA discs

When you record MP3 files on the CD-R, please refer to the following.

• Your MP3 or WMA files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.

ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 or WMA files are compatible with Microsoft's DOS and Windows, and with

Apple's Mac. These two formats are the most widely used.

• When naming your MP3 or WMA files do not exceed 8 characters, and place ".mp3, .wma" as the file extension.

General name format of: Title.mp3. or Title.wma. When composing your title, make sure 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 128 Kbps when recording MP3 files.

Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose. Getting audio CD sound quality requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to MP3 format, of at least 128

Kbps and up to 160 Kbps. However, choosing higher rates, like 192 Kbps or more, only rarely give better sound quality.

Conversely, files with decompression rates below 128 Kbps will not be played properly.

• Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 64Kbps when recording WMA files.

Sound quality with WMA files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose. Getting audio CD sound quality requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to WMA format, of at least

64Kbps and up to 192Kbps.

Conversely, files with decompression rates below 64Kbps or over 192Kbps will not be played properly.

• Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files.

Certain "secured" files are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the following types: Windows Media TM (registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and SDMI TM (registered trade mark of

The SDMI Foundation). You cannot 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 (degraded sound quality and in some cases, inability of the player to read the files).

• This unit can play a maximum of 500 files and 300 folders per disc.

Setting the Delay Time

A delay effect can be added to the sound from the Center and Surround speakers to adjust the sound according to the acoustic condition of the listening room. Initially, the delay time is set to ‘0 ms’.

• When 5.1CH Surround Sound is played, you can enjoy the best sound if the distance between you and each speaker is the same. You can set the Delay Time in the Center/Surround Speakers to customize the sound to the acoustic of your room.

1 Setting the Center Speaker

If the distance of Dc is equal to or longer than the distance of Df in the figure, set the mode as 0ms.

Otherwise, change the setting according to the table.

(A)=Df-Dc

2 Setting the Surround Speakers

If the distance of Df is equal to the distance of Ds in the figure, set the mode as 0ms.

Otherwise, change the setting according to the table.

1 Center Speaker

Ideally, the center speaker should be positioned at the same height as the front speakers, but it may be placed above or below your TV set.

2 Surround Speakers

It is better to place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly downwards, about 24 to 35 inches (60-90 cm) above your ear.

If your listening position is too close to the rear wall, place these speakers at the left and right of the listening position so that they face each other.

3 Front Speakers

It is better to place these speakers so that their tweeters are at your ear level, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.

4 Subwoofer

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.

➢

Please do not set up the Subwoofer near by TV or monitor because the Subwoofer is not fully magnetic shielded.

Dolby Pro Logic II is new form of multi-channel audio signal decoding technique that is improved from the existing Dolby

Pro Logic.

Dolby Pro Logic II separates Dolby Sound recordings as well as regular stereo audio (video audio, TV broadcast, external input) into 5.1 channels (front left and right, center, and surround left and right) so you can enjoy regular audio signals with 6 speakers.

In addition, you can set different modes depending on the content and format of audio and more accurately adjust the sound field.

➢

• Depending the type of disc being played, the effect of each surround mode may vary.

• During playback of a DVD encoded in 2 or more channels, a surround mode cannot be selected.

• When you select a surround mode during playback of a

MP3, WMA or Audio CD, the 5.1-CH Surround Sound will be selected.
