• VPS/PDC is a service provided by some stations to enable you to perform timer recordings precisely even if the broadcaster delays the start time of the programme slightly. The time you enter is the VPS/PDC time so must be correct. Not all stations offer VPS/PDC, in which case the player will start at the time you enter and not the actual start time of the programme. If you wish to start recording at a specific time without it being adjusted by the VPS/PDC system in the event of a delay, switch VPS/PDC off otherwise the player will not record at the preset time.

About MP3 and JPG discs

The ability of this unit to read MP3 discs is dependent on the following:

• The Bit Rate must be within 64-256 kbps.

• The maximum number of directories should not exceed 32.

• The maximum depth level of directories should not exceed 4.

• In the case that the file is recorded with a variable bit rate (VBR) in one file (Example: 54256kbps) sound breakup sound breaking may occur during playback.

• File names should be named using 8 or fewer letters and/or numbers, and must incorporate the “MP3” file extension. EXAMPLE:

********

. MP3 where each *is a letter or number.

• Use only letters and/ or numbers in file names. If you use special characters, the file and/ or folder names may not be displayed correctly on the on-screen display.

Caution

• Try to avoid the use of the CD-RW(Rewritable) disc if possible because it can not be played back according to the recording format.

• A CD-R must be recorded with the standard format because it can not be played back according to any other recording format.

• A CD-R should be written using the ‘disc at once’ method.

• A disc which is made according to the ISO 9660 format can be played back.

About DVD

DVD A DVD (abbreviation of Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc) can include 135 minutes of video

information. And for audio, it can hold up to 8 kinds of languages and 32 kinds of subtitle languages. By using MPEG-2 video compression and digital 3D surround sound, DVD realizes highdefinition video and quality sound like a movie theatre.

CDDA A CDDA (abbreviation of Compact disc digital audio) is a music disc that is currently used.

MP3 Audio compression format that enables audio files to be stored and transferred on a computer with

a relatively small file size. It enables you to enjoy CD quality music. (Short for MPEG-1 Layer 3)

PBC This is recorded on a Video CD 2.0, Video CD 3.0 and SVCD. The scenes or information to be viewed

(or listened to) can be selected interactively with the TV monitor by looking at the menu shown on the TV monitor. It stands for PlayBack Control.

CHAPTER A title in a DVD is divided into many tracks, or chapters. A chapter is an area on the DVD to which

you can navigate using the remote control to locate special electronic markers. The DVD player can then locate any particular scene and skip directly to it.

TITLE This is the information recorded on a DVD. A DVD can be divided into many titles.

TRACK In a video CD and audio CD. A disc consists of many tracks. The user can search for these tracks.

dts Digital Theatre System is a 5.1 -channel surround sound system, which is widely used in movie

theatres around the world. It enables the bit rate to be increased to provide good sound quality. “DTS” and “DTS Digital Out” are trademarks of Digital Theatre Systems, Inc.

Multi Angle Some DVD discs contain various scenes that have been simultaneously shot from a number of

different angles.

PCM Linear PCM is a signal-recording format used in a CD, while CD is recorded in 44.1kHz/16bit, a DVD

is recorded in 48KHz/16bit up to 96KHz/24bit.

Dolby Digital Dolby Digital enables the delivery of mono through 5.1-channel audio at data rates from 32 kbps to

640 kbps, thus offering flexibility and economical performance as well as uncompromised sound quality.

Bitstream Digital audio data that is decoded into an analogue signal for subsequent output to speakers.

Lt/Rt It indicates L/R of Dolby Digital 2CH Downmix output.

Downmix DOWNMIX is reproducing the proper audio when audio format recorded on a disc differs from the

output audio channel configuration. For example, with just one stereo speaker system you can hear full 5.1 channel audio.

RGB This stands for red, green and blue. It means the video signal separated into its three primary colour

components ready to drive the picture screen almost directly. Two signalling connections are needed to make the television accept the synchronisation and RGB signals. All this is in the SCART connector. Not all televisions have RGB inputs.

SCART An acronym (Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radiorécepteurs et Téléviseurs) for a connector

used with many kinds of audio-visual equipment. It is also called Peritel and Euro-connector.
