Notes on DVDs and video CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and video CDs may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers. As this system plays DVDs and video CDs according to disc content designed by the software manufacturer, some playback features of the system may not be available, or other functions may be added. Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs and video CDs. Some DVDs made for business purposes may not be playable on the system.

Region code of the DVD player and DVDs

This system is designed and manufactured for playback of region "1" encoded DVD software. The region code on the labels of some DVDs indicates which type of player can play those discs. This system can play only DVDs labeled "1" or "ALL". If you try to play any other discs, the message "REGIONAL CODE VIOLATION" will appear on the TV screen. Some DVDs may not have a region code label even though their playback is prohibited by area limits.

Note on DVDs recorded with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz

When playing DVDs recorded with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz, the system outputs signals converted to 48 kHz. Note, however, that the system does not play dts audio tracks recorded with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz.

PLAYING AN MP3 DISC

The system can play MP3 audio recorded on CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs. Before playing an MP3 disc, read the following notes.

Notes on MP3 discs

An MP3 file stores audio data compressed using MPEG 1/2, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. In this manual, we refer to what, in PC terminology, are called "folders" and "files" as "albums" and "tracks" respectively.

Notes on playing MP3 discs

• An MP3 track must be recorded on a disc in the format compliant with ISO 9660. Note however, that the system may not play tracks in the order they were recorded.

•The maximum allowable number of tracks and/or albums in a disc is 255, including the root albums (directory).

• The maximum allowable depth of a nested folder is 8, including tracks. Note that since the maximum path length is 128 characters long, the total number of characters including slashes, hyphens and underscores from the root album name to the track name must be less than

128.

• If a disc contains audio tracks and MP3 tracks, the system can only play audio tracks.

• The system may not play multi-session discs correctly.

•The system can play only MP3 tracks which were converted with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and a fixed or variable bit rate.

• The system may not play MP3 tracks recorded using a packet writing utility.

• The system can play only MP3 tracks having the file extension ".mp3".

• It may take 30 seconds or more before the system can start playback of MP3 tracks, depending on the number of recorded tracks and the complexity of the album tree.

• If you play a non-MP3 track that has the ".mp3" file extension, you may hear some noise.

Notes on display indications during playback

• Up to 30 characters are displayed for the name of an album and up to 30 characters for the name of track.

• Characters other than letters ("A" to "Z" and "a" to "z"), numerals ("0" to "9"), hyphen (-) and underscore (_) may not be displayed, or may be displayed as different characters.

• The system does not support ID3TAG.

• The elapsed play time may not be displayed correctly for MP3 tracks.

Notes on creating MP3 discs

•When converting audio data to MP3 Creating MP3 files with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps is recommended.

•When creating MP3 discs Do not store more than 255 albums and/or tracks in a disc.

•To play tracks in the order they were recorded

1.Use writing software capable of recording MP3 tracks

(files) in numerical and alphabetical order. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the software.

2.Use only one album. (Do not create a sub-album within

an album.)

3.Include a two or three-digit number at the beginning

of each album or track name which complies with ISO 9660 Level 2 or the Windows JOLIET format so that the albums and tracks are played in order. <Example of recommended name structure>

01XXXXX.mp3 02XXXXX.mp3 03XXXXX.mp3 04XXXXX.mp3 05XXXXX.mp3

1XXXXX.mp3 5XXXXX.mp3 10XXXXX.mp3 15XXXXX.mp3

20XXXXX.mp3 (The beginning numbers determine the order, therefore the tracks shown above will be played in the wrong order, i.e., "1", "10", "15", "20", and "5".)

Glossary

File extension:

A 3-character string added to a file name under the Windows or DOS environment is called a "file extension". The file extension is used mainly to identify types of files. The file extension for MP3 files is ".mp3".

ISO 9660:

ISO stands for the "International Organization for Standardization". ISO 9660 determines the file structure for the CD-ROMs. This system can play MP3 files recorded in the format compliant with ISO 9660.

Nesting of folders (albums):

To organize data files stored in a PC, you can store related files in a folder. A folder can contain other folders as well as files. For example, folder A can contain folder B, and folder B can contain folder C; this is called "nesting of folders".

Session:

A session is one uninterrupted section of written data on a disc. A multi-session disc is a disc which has two or more sessions.

The power does not come on.

The disc does not play. Playback stops almost immediately.

No picture

The picture quality is poor.

No sound

The remote control does not work, or does not work correctly.

Check See page

• Is the AC power cord plugged firmly into a live outlet?

• Is the DC cord connected properly?

• Is there condensation inside the system? (Leave the system idle with the power on for 1 to 2 hours.)

• Are you trying to use a disc that can’t be played, such as a PHOTO CD?

• Is the disc dirty? Is it loaded properly?

• Does the disc exceed the specified rating level?

• Is the system connected correctly?

• Are the video connections firmly attached?

• Is the television video mode set correctly?

• Is the system in a place subject to vibrations?

• Are the video connections firmly attached?

• Is the disc dirty?

• Is the system connected directly to the television set? Or is it connected through a video deck, a selector switch, or a television with a built-in video deck? The picture may be bad when used with some television sets or projectors, due to the DVD copy protection scheme. The picture quality may also suffer if the system is connected through a selector switch with other video equipment. Try turning off the power to the other video equipment. The picture quality may be somewhat poor when paused, when doing frame advance, or during fast forward or fast reverse. This is not a malfunction.

• Is the system connected correctly?

• Are the speaker cords inserted firmly into the speaker terminals? Has a short circuit occurred at the speaker terminals?

• Is the connected audio equipment turned on? Is the volume of the connected equipment set correctly? (Note that there is no audio during slow playback, frame advance and fast forward/ reverse except with audio CDs.)

• Is the remote control battery installed correctly?

• Is the remote control too far from the system? Is there something in the way?

• Is the remote control battery getting weak?

• Is the system in sunlight or strong fluorescent light?

• Hold down TIME on the DVD player for more than 4 seconds. After the power is turned off, press POWER (6STANDBY/ON) again to restore the system.
