DVD Video—digital audio formats

The System can play back the following digital audio formats.

• Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, the same format used for CDs and most studio masters.

• Dolby Digital: Compressed digital audio, developed by

Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode to create the realistic surround sound.

• DTS (Digital Theater Systems): Compressed digital audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it provides wider dynamic range and better separation.

When playing a multi-channel encoded DVD, the System properly converts these multi-channel signals into 2 channels, and emits the downmixed sound from the speakers.

• To enjoy the powerful sound of these multi-channel encoded DVDs, connect a proper decoder or an amplifier with a proper built-in decoder to the digital output terminal on the rear.

• The following discs cannot be played back:

DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-I (CD-I

Ready), CD-ROM, Photo CD, etc.

Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers.

• In this manual, “file” and “track” are interchangeably used for MP3/WMA/JPEG operations.

* Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers.

This System can play back only DVDs recorded with the PAL color system whose Region Code numbers including “2.”

EX.:

Additional Information

Learning More about This System

Daily Operations—Playback

(see pages 10 to 13)

Listening to the Radio:

• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number, the previously stored station in that number will be erased.

• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If this happens, preset the stations again.

Playing Back a Disc:

•

• When using an 8 cm disc, place it on the inner circle of the disc tray.

On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual operations may be different from what is explained in this manual, due to the programming and disc structure; such differences are not a malfunction of this System.

• Some DVD Audio discs prohibit downmixed output. When you play back such a disc, “LR ONLY” appears on the display and the System plays back the left front and right front signals.

• 3D Phonic setting is also applied to the optical digital output signals through the DVD OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT terminal.

• When using Resume on SVCD or VCD with PBC, the playback might start on a position slightly different from where you have stopped.

• You can use Resume only for the DVD/SVCD/VCD except for some discs—depending how the disc is programmed.

• For MP3/WMA playback...

– This System cannot play “packet write” discs.

– MP3/WMA discs are required a longer readout time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file configuration.)

– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will be skipped. This result from their recording processes and conditions.

– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or

Level 2 for the disc format.

– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

– It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This

System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less than 64 kbps.

– This System can recognize the total of 1000 tracks and of 99 groups (each group can contain up to 150 tracks). Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be recognized.

– Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different from the one you have intended while recording (see page 40). If a folder does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are ignored.

Daily Operations—Sound & Other Adjustments


Adjusting the Volume:

• Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting the headphones.

Adjusting the Sound:

• This function also affects the sound through the headphones.

Setting the Clock:

• “0:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.

• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this happens, reset the clock.

Advanced Radio Operations


• If the System takes time to show the RDS information—PS,

PTY, RT signals, “WAIT PS,” “WAIT PTY,” or “WAIT RT” will appear while searching.

Unique DVD/VCD Operations


• During slow-motion playback, no sound will be reproduced.

• While zoomed in, the picture may look coarse.

Advanced Disc Operations


Programming the Playing Order—Program Play:

• If you try to program a 100th track, “MEM FULL” appears on the display.

• While programming steps...

Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an item number that does not exist on the disc (for example, selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks).

Playing at Random—Random Play:

• The

4

button does not work for skipping chapters or tracks, but only work for going back to the beginning of the current chapter or track.

On-Screen Disc Operations


• For JPEG files playback...

– It is recommended that you 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 long time to be shown.)

– This System can play only baseline JPEG files. Progressive

JPEG files or lossless JPEG files cannot be played.

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.

– This System may not play back JPEG files properly which are recorded by the devices other than digital still camera.

– If progressive or lossless JPEG files are played back, a black screen appears. In this case, stop playback and select a baseline JPEG file. Note that it may take a long time to select another file.

39


Timer Operations


• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the clock first, then the timer again.

• If you set the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing the selected source, Daily Timer is canceled.

Setup Menu Operations


LANGUAGE:

• When the language you have selected for “MENU

LANGUAGE,” “AUDIO LANGUAGE,” or “SUBTITLE” is not recorded on a disc, the original language is used as the initial language.

PICTURE—MONITOR TYPE:

• Even if “4:3 PS” is selected, the screen size may become 4:3 letter box with some DVD Video discs. This depends on how the discs are recorded.

• When you select “16:9” for a picture whose aspect ratio is 4:3, the picture slightly changes due to the process for converting the picture width.

AUDIO—DOWN MIX:

• This setting is not effective when DTS multi-channel software is played back.

OTHERS—ON SCREEN GUIDE:

• Setup Menus and on-screen bar will be displayed (and recorded) even though this function is set to “OFF.”

Subtitles and the information for zooming in always appear on the display regardless of this setting.

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs and mechanism clean.

Handling discs

• When removing the disc from its case, hold it at the edge while pressing the center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.

• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

To clean the disc:

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

Cleaning the System

• Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the following:

– DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.

– DO NOT wipe it strongly.

– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.

– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides to it.

• DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact for a long time.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮

DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way—switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode.

Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.

Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws—to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL

– NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case

—this could result in a fatal electrical shock.;

– NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind—it is better to be safe than sorry!
