Please read the following before operating the DVD player.

Supported disc formats

This DVD player can play discs with the following marks only.

DVDs (8 cm disc/12 cm disc)

Super video CDs (SVCDs) Video CDs (VCDs) (8 cm disc/12 cm disc)

Audio CDs (8 cm disc/12 cm disc)

In addition, this unit can be played back a CD-R or CD-RW that contains audio titles or MP3 files.

NOTES

• Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW disc itself, some CD-R/RW discs can not be played on this unit.

• The unit can not play back the CD-R/RW discs that contain no data or different kinds of formatted data other than MP3.

• Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.

• Do not use irregular shape CDs (example: heart-shaped, octagonal ones). It may result in malfunctions.

Notes on color system

This unit is designed for the both PAL and NTSC color system.

Notes on DVDs, super video CDs and video CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs, super video CDs and video CDs may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers. As this player plays DVDs, super video CDs and video CDs according to disc contents designed by the software manufacturer, some playback features of this player may not be available, or other functions may be added. Also refer to the instructions supplied with the DVDs, super video CDs and video CDs. Some DVDs made for business purposes may not be played on this player.

Region code of the DVD player and DVDs

This DVD player is designed and manufactured for playback of region “3” encoded DVD software. Region code labels appear on the labels of some DVD discs to indicate which type of player can play those discs. Unless “3” is included in these labels, or “ALL” appears on the DVD disc labels, those discs cannot be played on this player. If you try to play these discs, the message “INVALID REGION” will appear on TV screen. Some DVD discs may not have a region code label even though their playback is prohibited by area limits.

Note on DTS-encoded CDs

When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be exhibited from the analog stereo outputs. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should turn down the volume before playing back such a disc, adjust the volume gradually, and keep the volume level low. To enjoy DTSTM playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS decoder system must be connected to the digital output of this unit.

Disc-related terms

Notes on MP3

The order of playing back MP3

The unit only plays MP3 tracks in the following order.

An MP3 file stores audio data compressed using MPEG1, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. In this manual, we refer to what are called “folder” and “file” in PC terminology as “album” and “track”.

Notes on playing MP3

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

• The maximum allowable number of tracks and albums in a disc are as follows:

- number of tracks : 300

- number of albums : 127

• The maximum allowable depth of nested albums is 2, including the root album (directory).

• If a disc contains audio tracks and MP3 tracks, the unit cannot play.

• As for a multi-session disc, the unit play only the first session.

• The unit can play only MP3 tracks which were converted with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps.

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

• The unit can play only MP3 tracks having a file extension “.mp3”.

• It may take 30 seconds or more before the unit can start play 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.

• The unit does not output digital signals while playing MP3 tracks.

•Only the following function buttons works while playing MP3 tracks:

- PLAY c, STOP s, PAUSE a, Forward SKIP t,

Reverse SKIP r, ON SCREEN DISPLAY ON/OFF, numbered buttons, OPEN/CLOSE.

Notes on display indications during play

•When creating MP3 discs Do not store more than 127 albums in a disc. Also, keep the total number of albums and tracks 300 or less in a disc.

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

BEFORE USE (CONTINUED)

Handling the unit

When shipping the this unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

When setting the this unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR or radio may be distorted during DVD playback. In this case, position the player away from the TV, radio or VCR, or turn off the player after removing the disc.

To keep the surface clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the player. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the player for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the player.

To obtain a clear picture

This unit is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pickup lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality will be poor. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.) For details, please contact your Aiwa dealer.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for analog records.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

TERMINOLOGY

• ISO 9660 ISO stands for the “International Organization for Standardization”. ISO 9660 determines the file structure for the CD-ROMs. This unit 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”. The maximum depth of nested folders, allowed by this unit, is 2.

• Writing utilities There are 3 utilities used to record data on a disc.

1. DAO (Disc At Once) utility

All data to be written must be prepared in advance and written onto a disc from the beginning to the end in one operation. No data can be added to a disc on which data were already written with DAO utility.

2. TAO (Track At Once) utility

Data are written onto a disc track by track. Data can be added to a disc on which data were written with TAO utility.

3. Packet writing utility

Tracks are divided into smaller pieces while being recorded, depending on the size of available spaces on the disc. Data can be added to a disc on which data were written with packet writing utility. This unit can play MP3 discs recorded using DAO and TAO utilities.

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

• Multi-session A session is a collection of data, covering from the beginning to the end of recording made in one operation. With TAO (Track At Once) utility, data can be recorded with several operations. A session corresponds to the data recorded in one operation. This unit only play data recorded in the first operation.

In other words, the unit can only play the first session.
