8Recorded programs and data cannot be restored once the disc or tape is damaged.

You can use discs with the following logos for playback only.

???Playback may not be performed depending on the characteristics and condition of the disc used.

???DTS Audio CDs can also be played back (An optional DTS decoder is required).

???MP3 and JPEG discs can be played back on this unit only when they have been recorded in the ISO9660 or Joliet format and finalized.

???CD-R/RW discs recorded in music CD format need to be finalized to play back on this unit.

???Operation and audio quality of this unit are not guaranteed for discs that do not conform to the Compact Disc specification (CD-DA).

Before you play back a CD, check for the CD logo and read the notes on the package to confirm that it conforms to the Compact Disc specification.

???Depending on the intentions of the author of the software, recording conditions of DVD discs and Video CD/SVCD discs may be restricted. Since this unit plays back discs according to the intentions of the author of the software as indicated on the disc, some functions may not operate as commanded.

???When switching from the first layer to the second layer of double- layered DVD VIDEO discs, the image and sound may be momentarily distorted. This is not a malfunction.

???DVD-AUDIO discs compatible with DVD video players can be played.

???Super Audio CDs (SACD) compatible with conventional CD players can be played.

The following types of discs cannot be played using this unit. Do not attempt to play back any kind of disc that is damaged (cracked, warped, or repaired with adhesive tape) or discs in

Region Number

The world is divided into 6 regions for DVD VIDEO discs.

DVD VIDEO discs are assigned a region number to indicate which region they may be played back in. A disc cannot be played back on this unit unless the region number of the disc matches that of the unit. The region number for this unit is A1B. Only discs whose region number includes A1B or AALLB can be played back such as shown below.

Examples of DVD VIDEO labels which can be played back using this unit.

Marks of discs in this instruction manual

DVD VIDEO

Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called AtitlesB. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called AchaptersB. 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.

When you record a program on a DVD-RAM/RW (VR mode) disc

A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes from monaural to stereo due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during playback. (A pg. 27)

When you record a program on a DVD-R/RW (Video mode) disc

A single recording session results in a single title (a single chapter). However, chapter marks are automatically inserted when recording is paused, or audio changes due to commercial breaks, etc. It is also possible to insert chapter marks at desired locations during either recording or playback. Once the disc has been finalized, these chapter marks are deleted and new chapter marks are assigned automatically approximately every 5 minutes.

DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD-R or DVD VIDEO disc

???In Video mode, even before finalizing, it is impossible to perform editing operations other than changing the disc name and/or title names and deleting programs and/or titles.

???After finalizing, it is impossible to perform editing operations.

Directory

MP3 file

JPEG file

File structure of the disc after starting the MP3/JPEG Navigation

Files are automatically grouped as follows and displayed on the MP3/JPEG Navigation screen. Data is displayed in the alphabetical order of file name. Files are grouped based on roots.

???This unit can recognize up to 9 hierarchies including directories and files.

Also, it can recognize up to 250 files in each group, and up to 99 groups on a disc.

NOTES:

???Video CD/SVCD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)

The contents of a disc are recorded into several hierarchies, and played back according to the instructions on the screen while navigating through the hierarchies. It is also possible to playback recorded tracks consecutively without activating the PBC function even when playing a PBC-compatible disc. (A pg. 28)

???Regarding the contents recorded on discs

Some files may not be played back depending on the file types and other factors.

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