* Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVD VIDEOs have their own Region
Code numbers. This system can only play back a DVD
VIDEO recorded with the Region Code number and
video format mentioned above.
Examples:
If a DVD VIDEO with an improper Region Code
number is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears
on the TV screen and playback cannot start.
• On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs,
their actual operation may be different from what is
explained in this manual. This is due to the disc
programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of
this system.
3
• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R/RW (recorded in VR
format), CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD,
SACD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and
damage the speakers.
Damaged discs and discs in an extraordinary shape
(other than a disc of 12 cm or 8 cm in diameter) cannot
be played back.
About MP3/JPEG discs
Playable MP3/JPEG discs and files
• Discs recorded in the ISO 9660 format are playable
(except discs recorded in the “packet write” format
(UDF format)).
• Discs recorded in the multi-session format are also
playable.
• Files with an extension of “.mp3,” “.jpg” or “.jpeg”
(extensions with uppercase and lowercase letters
mixed are also acceptable) are playable.
Notes on MP3/JPEG discs and files
• A disc may not be played, or reading it may take a long
time depending on its recording conditions or
properties.
• The time needed for reading varies with the number of
groups or tracks (files) recorded on the disc.
• If a character other than single byte English characters
is used in the file name of an MP3/JPEG file, the track/
file name will not be displayed correctly.
• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3
Control screen, and the order of files/groups displayed
on the JPEG Control screen may be different from that
of files/folders displayed on PC’s monitor screen.
• An off-the-shelf MP3 disc may be played in an order
different from that indicated on the label attached to
the disc.
• Playing an MP3 file including a still image may take a
long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until
playing starts. If playing starts, the elapsed time may
not be displayed correctly.
• This system does not handle the ID3 tag of the MP3
file.
• For an MP3 file, a disc with a sampling frequency of
44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128 kbps is
recommended.
• This system can play a baseline JPEG file, excluding
monochromatic JPEG files.
• This system can play JPEG data taken with a digital
camera conforming to the DCF (Design Rule for
Camera File System) standard (when a function is
applied such as the automatic rotation function of a
digital camera, data goes beyond the DCF standard,
so the image may not be displayed).
• If data has been processed, edited and restored with
PC image editing software, the data may not be
displayed.
• This system cannot play animations such as MOTION
JPEG, or still images (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG, and
image data with sound.
• The resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is recommended for
JPEG files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution
of more than 640 x 480 pixels, display may take a long
time. An image with a resolution of more than 8192 x
7680 pixels cannot be displayed.
• Files recorded on DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played
back.

Introduction
Disc structure
DVD VIDEO
A DVD VIDEO consists of “titles” and each title
may be divided into “chapters”.
Title 1
Title 2
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2
DVD AUDIO
A DVD AUDIO consists of “groups” and each group
may be divided into “tracks”.
Some discs include a “bonus group” that requires a
password for playing (A page 28).
Group 1
Track 1
Track 2
Group 2
Track 3
Track 1
Track 2
VCD/SVCD/CD
VCD, SVCD and CD consist of “tracks”.
In general, each track has its own track number.
(On some discs, each track may also be further
divided by indexes.)
Track 1
Track 2
Track 3
Track 4
Track 5
MP3 [JPEG] discs
On an MP3 [JPEG] disc, each still picture
(material) is recorded as a track [file]. Tracks [Files]
are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also
include other folders, creating hierarchical folder
layers.
This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of
a disc and manages folders by “groups”.
Group 1
Track 1
[File 1]
Track 2
[File 2]
Group 2
Group 3
Group 4
Group 5
This product can recognize up to 1000 tracks [files]
in a disc. Also, the product can recognize up to 150
tracks [files] per group and up to 99 groups in a
disc. Since the unit ignores the tracks [files] whose
numbers are exceeding 150 and the groups whose
numbers are exceeding 99, they cannot be played
back.
• If there is any type of files other than MP3 [JPEG]
files in a folder, those files are also counted in the
total file number.

• Finalized DVD-R/RW discs recorded in the DVD
VIDEO format.
• CD-R/RW discs recorded in the following formats
- Music CDs (finalized discs)
- VCDs
- SVCDs
- MP3/JPEG discs recorded in ISO 9660 (for details, refer
to “About MP3/JPEG discs ”)
However, some discs may not be played back because of
their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or
damage or stain on them.
Only sounds can be played back from the following discs:

* Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVD VIDEOs have their own Region
Code numbers. This system can only play back a DVD
VIDEO recorded with the Region Code number and
video format mentioned above.
Examples:
If a DVD VIDEO with an improper Region Code
number is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears
on the TV screen and playback cannot start.
• On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs,
their actual operation may be different from what is
explained in this manual. This is due to the disc
programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of
this system.
• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R/RW (recorded in VR
format), CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD,
SACD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and
damage the speakers.
Damaged discs and discs in an extraordinary shape
(other than a disc of 12 cm or 8 cm in diameter) cannot
be played back.
About MP3/JPEG discs
Playable MP3/JPEG discs and files
• Discs recorded in the ISO 9660 format are playable
(except discs recorded in the “packet write” format
(UDF format)).
• Discs recorded in the multi-session format are also
playable.
• Files with an extension of “.mp3,” “.jpg” or “.jpeg”
(extensions with uppercase and lowercase letters
mixed are also acceptable) are playable.
Notes on MP3/JPEG discs and files
• A disc may not be played, or reading it may take a long
time depending on its recording conditions or
properties.
• The time needed for reading varies with the number of
groups or tracks (files) recorded on the disc.
• If a character other than single byte English characters
is used in the file name of an MP3/JPEG file, the track/
file name will not be displayed correctly.
• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3
Control screen, and the order of files/groups displayed
on the JPEG Control screen may be different from that
of files/folders displayed on PC’s monitor screen.
• An off-the-shelf MP3 disc may be played in an order
different from that indicated on the label attached to
the disc.
• Playing an MP3 file including a still image may take a
long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until
playing starts. If playing starts, the elapsed time may
not be displayed correctly.
• This system does not handle the ID3 tag of the MP3
file.
• For an MP3 file, a disc with a sampling frequency of
44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128 kbps is
recommended.
• This system can play a baseline JPEG file, excluding
monochromatic JPEG files.
• This system can play JPEG data taken with a digital
camera conforming to the DCF (Design Rule for
Camera File System) standard (when a function is
applied such as the automatic rotation function of a
digital camera, data goes beyond the DCF standard,
so the image may not be displayed).
• If data has been processed, edited and restored with
PC image editing software, the data may not be
displayed.
• This system cannot play animations such as MOTION
JPEG, or still images (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG, and
image data with sound.
• The resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is recommended for
JPEG files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution
of more than 640 x 480 pixels, display may take a long
time. An image with a resolution of more than 8192 x
7680 pixels cannot be displayed.
• Files recorded on DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played
back.

Radio Data System (RDS)
Receiving FM stations
with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to
send an additional signal along with their regular
program signals.
For example, the stations send their station names,
as well as information about what type of program
they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an FM station which provides the
RDS service, “RDS” appears on the display
window on the main unit.
Example:
You can receive the following types of RDS
signals.
PS (Program Service):
Shows commonly known station names.
PTY (Program Type):
Shows types of broadcast programs.
RT (Radio Text):
Shows text messages the station sends.
Enhanced Other Networks:
Refer to page 37.
NOTE
RDS may not work correctly if the received station is
not transmitting the signals properly or if the signal
strength is weak.
Alarm function
If an “Alarm !” (Emergency) signal is received
from a station while listening to the FM station
with RDS, the system automatically switches to
the station broadcasting the “Alarm !” signal,
except when you are listening to non-RDS
stations (all AM and some FM stations).

NOTE
• If the system takes time to show the RDS
information received from a station, “PS”, “PTY” or
“RT” may appear on the display window.
• When PS, PTY, or RT signals appear on the display
window, some special characters and marks may
not be displayed correctly.
Searching for programs
by PTY codes
(PTY Search)
One of the advantages of RDS is that you can
locate a particular kind of program by specifying
the corresponding PTY code.
• The PTY Search is applicable only to the preset
stations.
• Refer to page 36 for the PTY codes.
3
Press SEARCH.
While searching, “SEARCH” and the selected
PTY codes will be displayed.
Example: when “News” is selected as a PTY code
The system searches 30 preset FM stations,
and stops when it finds the one you have
selected. At this time the selected frequency
and PTY code flash. When “SEARCH” is
pressed while the selected frequency and
PTY code are flashing, the system
automatically starts to find the next station.
After the frequency and PTY code stop
flashing or if any other operation is done, the
system automatically tunes in to the station.
To stop searching, press SEARCH.
If no program is found, “NOTFOUND” appears
on the display window and the system returns to
