• Data part of CD-Extras

• Super Audio CDs

• Progressive JPEG format files cannot be played on this syste m .

• DVD-RWs in VR mode (DVD-RWs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programed or edited.)

• DVD-ROMs

• DVD Audio discs

• A DVD with a different region code.

• Audio tracks in MP3PRO format.

• A disc that has a non-standard sha pe (e.g., card, heart).

• A disc with paper or stickers on it.

• A disc that has the adhesive, cellophane tape, or a sticker still left on it.

ISO9660 Format The most common in te rnational standard for the logical format of files and folders on a CD-ROM. There are several specification levels. In Level 1, file names must be in the 8.3 format (n o more than eight characters in the na me, no more t han three char acters in the extension “.MP3” o r “.JP G”) and in capital letters. Folder names can be no long er tha n e ight characters. There can be no more than eight nested folder levels. Level 2 specifications allow file names and folder names up to 31 character s long. Each folder can have up to 8 trees. For Joliet in the expansion format (file and folder names can have up to 64 characters) make sure of the contents of the writing software, etc.

Multi Session This is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method. Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Mult i Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions, with each segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a single session. CD-Extra: This format records audio (audio CD data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks in session 2.

Notes on discs

• This system can play CD-R/CD-RW discs edited by the user. However, note that playback of some di s cs may not be possible depending on the recording devi ce used for recording or th e di sc condition.

• Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be played back because of scratches, dirt, recording condi t i on or the driver’s characteristics.

• CD-R and CD-RW discs th at have not been correctly final i zed (processing t o allow play by a normal CD player ) cannot be played.

• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multisession that have not ended by “closing the session” are not supported.

• The system may be unable to play MP3/JPEG format files that do not have the extender “.MP3,” “.JPG ,” or “.JPEG.”

• Attempting to pl ay non-MP3/JPE G format files that have the extender “.MP3,” “.J P G,” or “.JPEG” may re sult in noise or malfunction. Playback is possible up to 8 levels.

• With formats other than ISO9660 level 1 and 2, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly.

• The following discs take a lon ger time to start playback:

– a disc recorded with a complicat ed tree

structure. – a disc recorded in Multi Session. – a disc to which data can be added (no n-

finalized disc).

• Some CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs or DVDRWs (in video mode) (DVD-RWs created in video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO) cannot be played on this system depending upon the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device. Furthermore, the disc will not play if it has no t been correctly fi nalized. For more information, see the operating instructions for the recording de vi ce.

Chapter

Subdivision of a title on a DVD. A title is composed of sever al cha p t er s.

Dolby Digital

This sound format for movie theatres is more advanced than Dolby Pro Logi c Surround. In this format , the surrou nd speakers output stereo sound with an expanded frequency range and a sub woofer chan nel for deep bass is independently provided. This format is also called “5.1” because the sub woofer channel is counted as 0. 1 channel (since it functions only when a deep bass eff ect is needed). All six channels in this f ormat are recorded separately to realize superi or channel separa ti on. Furthermore, since all the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradation occu rs.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

As one method of decoding Dolby Surround, Dolby Pro Logic Surround pro duces four channels from two-channel sound. Compared with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic Surround reproduces left-to-r ig h t panning more naturally and localizes sounds more precis ely. T o tak e ful l adva ntage of Dol by Pro Logic Surround, you should have one pair of surround speake rs and a center speak er. The surround speake rs output monaural sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-band width output channels from two-channe l sources. This is done using an advan ced, high-purity ma tr i x surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the or ig inal recording with out adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

nN to resume play

• Dolby Pro Logic II Movie

The Movie mode is for use with stereo televi sion shows and all progr ames encoded in Dolby Surround. The result is enhanced soundfield directionality that approaches the quality of discrete 5.1-channel sound.

• Dolby Pro Logic II Music

The Music mode is for use with any stereo music recordings, and provides a wide and deep sound space.

DTS

Digital audio compression technology that the Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology co nf orms to 5.1-channel surround. The rear channel i s st ereo and there is discr ete sub woofer channel in this format. DTS provid es the same 5.1 discr et e channels of high quality digital audio. The good channel separat ion is realized because the all channel data is recorded discrete and pr ocessed in digit al.

DVD

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though it s diameter i s the same as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and singlesided DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD. Furt hermore , the dat a capaci ty of a dual-layer and si ngle-sided DVD is 8. 5 GB, a single-layer and double-s ided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, a worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size. The DVD also uses the variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the pi ct ure. The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in PCM, allo w i ng you to enjoy more realistic au dio presence. Furthermore, various advanced f unctions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.
