Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channel information.
??? DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

IMPORTANT:
???This unit does not provide the DTS decoding function.
The sound signals of DTS are only output through the DVD OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT terminal and are not output through the speakers of this unit.

???To reproduce the multichannel sounds such as Dolby Digital 5.1 ch, DTS Digital Surround and MPEG Multichannel, connect an amplifier or a decoder compatible with these multichannel sources to this unit. (See page 11.)
???Playing back an Audio CD whose sound is encoded with DTS may generate noise and damage the speakers.
When playing such a disc, turn the volume level on this unit to minimum.
Disc structure
A DVD consists of ???titles,??? and each title may be divided into ???chapters.??? (See Example 1.)
For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and it may be further divided into chapters.
Example 1: DVD
On the other hand, a SVCD, VCD, and Audio CD consist of ???tracks.??? (See Example 2.)

Before You Start Recording on an MD
???It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.
???When you record onto a partially recorded MD, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The recording starts from the point following the last recorded track of the MD.
If you want to record on such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see ???Erasing All Tracks
???When an MD is fully recorded, recording will stop automatically.
???The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the volume level. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
???While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the AHB PRO (Active Hyper Bass Pro) effect through the speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 21).
???While recording, the 3D PHONIC function (see page 55) or the COMPRESSION function (see page 86) is activated, the sound is recorded with these effects.
???This unit automatically selects either digital or analog recording according to the playback source.
??? For SVCD, VCD, and Audio CD: Digital recording is used.
??? For other analog
Analog recording is used.
??? You cannot record more than 254 tracks onto an MD, even if there is still enough recording time remaining on it.
About the track marks
When playing an MD, you can move among the tracks. You can do this because there is a mark recorded at the beginning of each track enabling you to locate the track. This mark is called a ???track mark??? and the portion between two adjacent track marks is called a ???track.???
???When using the disc synchronized recording, a track mark is recorded at the beginning of each chapter and track. You cannot put a track mark on manually.
???When recording from an analog
However, if there is a blank of 3 seconds or more, the MD recorder will consider it as a blank separating 2 tracks and consequently put a track mark (except when recording from an FM or AM broadcast).
To set a track mark manually while recording an
analog source, press SET on the remote control at the place where you want to put a track mark.
To add a track mark after recording is over, you can
use the DIVIDE function. (See page 76.)
To avoid erasing important recordings
The recordable MD has an erasure prevention tab so that important recordings are not accidentally erased. When you finish recording or editing, slide to open the erasure prevention tab on the cartridge side. New recording or editing is now no longer possible. (If you try to do, ???DISC PROTECTED??? appears in the main display.)

REMEMBER to check the remaining recording time of MDs before starting recording
The remaining recording time of MDs will be calculated and shown, based on the recording length mode (SP/LP2/ LP4) currently selected.
Before starting recording or using the Recording Timer, check the recording time remaining on the MD for each recording length mode (SP/LP2/LP4) and select the optimum recording length mode.

The MD provides 80 minute recording and playback time, much more than an audio CD, but in a diameter of only 64 mm. This ability to store such a large amount of data is the result of ATRAC, an audio compression technique developed for MD. This technology cuts out faint sounds that would not be heard by the human beings. This technology, based on human sensitivity to sounds, reduces recorded data volume up to about

Editing MDs
The buttons emphasized in the illustration below are used and explained in the following section (pages 66 to 82).
English
To add to the conventional MD editing functions (called the track editing functions in this manual), MD group functions help you to classify the tracks by making groups on your MD.
Classifying the tracks on an MD
MDLP enables you to record more tracks on a single MD than the conventional recording method. So, there are many tracks which have been recorded from the various
In that case, if you can classify the tracks by source, by album, or by artist, the playback of your favorite songs becomes much easier.
In the figure above, as an example, there are 5 different genres (from A to E) of tracks on the MD. Using MD group functions, you can form a group by genre B tracks as Group 1.
By forming groups on the MD, you can classify the tracks by each
Using MD group functions
MD group functions consist of group play, group recording and group editing.
???Group play (see page 45):
You can play back and repeat the desired group without making a program: For example, you can play back genre B tracks continuously by selecting group 1 in the left figure.

About information concerning MD group functions
Once you edit an MD using MD group functions, the MD is assigned some characters as the information concerning MD group functions. These characters appear only when you play back the MD using the equipment incompatible with MD group functions. If you edit the characters using such equipment, the groups on the MD will be dissolved.
