Marks of discs in this instruction manual

DVD VIDEO Marks

Sometimes marks are printed on a DVD disc and/or on its packaging to indicate information regarding the contents and functions of a disc. Check marks indicating the contents and functions of a disc. Note, however, that in some cases a disc may not include a mark even for a function it supports.

Marks related to video

Number of subtitles

Number of angles

Recorded under the standard 4:3 aspect ratio

Screen includes black bands at top and bottom of image which has a standard 4:3 aspect ratio (letter box)

Video playback is in Wide video mode (16:9) on wide televisions, but in letter box on televisions with standard 4:3 aspect ratio.

Video playback is in Wide video mode (16:9) on wide televisions, but pan and scan is used on televisions with standard 4:3 aspect ratio (either the left or right side of the image is cut-out).

Marks related to audio

Number of audio tracks

Dolby Digital mark

Dolby Laboratories has developed a digital surround system for the home. This mark indicates that you may enjoy 5.1- channel audio (front left and right, center, rear left and right, and a channel for LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)).

DTS (Digital Theater System)

The DTS decoder on this unit enables you to enjoy DTS audio with the connected TV???s speakers by converting 5.1 channel audio signals into 2 channel signals (DTS Down Mixing). The decoder also outputs the original DTS 5.1 channel audio signals from the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector on this unit.

File Structure of Discs

DVD VIDEO

Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called ???titles???. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called ???chapters???. Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs are not divided into titles and chapters.

Audio CD/Video CD

Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video CD discs.

NOTE:

Video CD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)

The still image or motion image which follows a menu screen is called a ???scene???. Each scene has a scene number.

For more details, refer to ???Locating a desired scene using the menu of the Video CD with PBC??? ( pg. 41).

Placing a Disc

1 Open the disc tray.

Press OPEN/CLOSE (x) on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.

???Pressing the button again closes the disc tray.

???Do not block the disc tray with your hand while it is opening or closing as this may result in hardware failure.

???Do not place unplayable discs or any object other than a disc in the disc tray.

???Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy objects on it.

2 Place the disc.

Place the disc in the disc tray with the label side facing up.

??? Since disc size changes depending on the disc to be played back, be sure to correctly align the disc with the grooves for its size. If the disc is not in its groove, it may be scratched or otherwise damaged.

???To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.

Care and Handling of Discs

How to handle discs

When handling a disc, do

not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and

sound will not be picked up

correctly, and such a disc may cause the unit to malfunction.

Label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.

CAUTION

Sometimes during playback, noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.)

These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.

About MP3 Disc

This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the MP3 format (we refer to those discs as MP3 discs in this manual). Operations for MP3 discs are similar to those for Audio CD discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.

What is MP3?

MP3 is the abbreviation of ???MPEG1 Audio Layer 3???. MPEG Audio is a compression specification that compresses the audio portion only. This image compression method is used in DVD or Video CD, etc. The audio data has been compressed into about 1/10.

On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on each Track (file), which usually belongs to a Group (folder).

MP3 disc

Group 3

This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 150 Tracks per Group.

If a disc includes more than the Tracks above limit, the unit stops detecting Tracks when the number of detected Tracks reaches the limit and ignores the subsequent Tracks. The unit also ignores any non-MP3 file in the disc.

NOTES for making a private MP3 disc using a CD-R/ CD-RW disc:

???Select ???ISO9660??? as the disc format.

???Finalize the disc.

NOTES:

???Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition, some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start playback.

???The unit does not support ???packet writing??? discs.

???If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc directly and do not belong to any Group (directory), the unit recognized them as belonging to an independent Group.

???The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3 disc in the alphabetical order.

???For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and [three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then [two]. Tracks in a Group are played back in the same way.

???Therefore, an MP3 disc on the market may be played back in the different order from the order printed on its sleeve.

MP3 control display

The MP3 control display appears on the TV screen and playback starts when an MP3 disc is loaded.

*Elapsed playing time of current track

Elapsed playing time is only shown during playback.

About JPEG Disc

This unit can playback CD discs recorded by the JPEG format (we refer to those discs as JPEG discs in this manual). Operations for JPEG discs are similar to those for Audio CD discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.

What is JPEG?

JPEG is the abbreviation of ???Joint Photographic Expert Group???. JPEG is a still-picture data compression system.

On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file, which usually belongs to a Group (folder).

Group 3

This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 150 Files per Group.

If a disc includes more than the Files above limit, the unit stops detecting Files when the number of detected Files reaches the limit and ignores the subsequent Files. The unit also ignores any non-JPEG file in the disc.

NOTES for making a private JPEG disc using a CD-R/ CD-RW disc:

???Select ???ISO9660??? as the disc format.

???Finalize the disc.

NOTES:

???We recommend to 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 longer time to be displayed.)

???This unit supports the JPEG files whose resolution is 32 to 8192 pixel in width and 32 to 7680 pixel in height.

???This unit can only play back baseline JPEG files*. Progressive JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played back.

*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.

???Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.

???Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition, some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start playback.

???The unit does not support ???packet writing??? discs.

???If there are any Files which are stored on a disc directly and do not belong to any Group (directory), the unit recognized them as belonging to an independent Group.

???The unit plays back Groups/Files on an JPEG disc in the alphabetical order.

???For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and [three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then [two]. Files in a Group are played back in the same way.

???Therefore, an JPEG disc on the market may be played back in the different order from the order printed on its sleeve.
