User's Manual

The Audionet Team congratulates you to your purchase of this excellent
universal transport. For DVD and CD Audionet has engineered a
formidable structure and transport system. This approach reflects the
complex inherent in any transcription device. Within the VIP one can see
a broad range of materials and isolation systems that exploit both
compliant and resilient forms of energy dissipation. This architecture
provides an almost impenetrable barrier to structural borne resonance.

The error free output transcribed from this transport is processed with
standard setting digital filter technology with the asynchronous clock
decoupling. This eliminates harmful clock jitter.

Picture reproduction is catered for with the same meticulous care
providing for Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital and DTS encoding of the
highest quality.

Whether it is CD or DVD the VIP will provide your pre amplifier with
the best possible signal.

Included

Transportation

We strongly recommend reading the manual and precautions carefully
first to be aware of all features your new Audionet VIP offers.

Included you will find the following:

§ the universal CD and DVD transport system VIP

§ one low resonance stabilizer ('Puck') made of POM (black)

§ this manual (that you are currently reading)

§ one standard mains cord

§ one DVD AUDIO-Disc 'Hamamura Quintett - Retold'

§ universal remote control COM (in separate package)

Please transport your VIP only within the included package. Use the
plastic bag to prevent scratches at housing. Never leave a CD/DVD or the
stabilizer inside the unit while transporting. The sensitive mechanics
could suffer damage.

DVD AUDIO

Video-CD

DVD VIDEO

The DVD Logo is a trademark.

CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with the Audio CD or MP3 format can
be played back, though some of them may not be played back because of
the disc characteristics or recording conditions.

DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own Region
Code numbers. This unit can playback DVD VIDEO discs whose Region
Code numbers include the unit's Region Code. Discs have one or more
Region Code numbers, which are indicated on the cover.

Example of playable DVD discs when the unit's Region Code is "2":

SVCD

Audio-CD

Non-playable disc types

The VIP can playback a disc recorded with either the NTSC or PAL
format and output a video signal with the format set by the NTSC/PAL
selector on the rear panel (i.e. you can enjoy an NTSC disc with the PAL
television by simply setting the selector to PAL, or vice versa). Refer to
section "Appendix A: Connections and options on the rear panel".

The following disc types are non-playable by the VIP:

DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, PHOTO CD,
CD-EXTRA, CD-G, CD-TEXT

Playing back discs listed as "Non-playable discs" above may generate
noise and damage speakers.

The VIP can play back audio recorded in CD-G, CD-EXTRA and CD­TEXT discs.

15

Audio formats

There are some formats of audio recorded on discs as shown in the table
below. The associated indicator lights up in the display window when
playing back a disc.

Audio format Indicator

Linear PCM LPCM*

MPEG Multichannel MPEG

Dolby Digital DOLBY DIGITAL

DTS (Digital Theater Systems) DTS

*) When playing back a DVD AUDIO disc recorded by MLP (Meridian
Lossless Packing: a lossless audio compression system that can completely
recreate the PCM signal), the signal is recognized as the linear PCM signal,
however, no indicator lights up in the display window.

Disc structure

A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of "titles" and each title may be
divided into some "chapters". For example, if a DVD VIDEO disc
contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and
each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO
KARAOKE disc, each song usually has its own title number and does not
have chapters. A DVD AUDIO disc is comprised of "groups", and each
group is comprised of "tracks". Some DVD AUDIO discs also contain a
"bonus group" that can be played back by entering the "key number" (a
kind of password). Usually the contents of a "bonus group" are not
opened to the public. Note that most DVD AUDIO discs include other
information in addition to audio, such as still pictures, movies and text.
An Audio CD, Video CD or SVCD is simply comprised of "tracks".
