1FEATURES

1.Progressive Scan circuit “Pure ProgressiveTM” (NOTE 1)

The DVD-2800II is equipped with a high precision Progressive Scan circuit “Pure ProgressiveTM” allowing it to reproduce movies and other images on DVDs with a quality near that of the original.

2.12-bit/108 MHz video D/A converter (NOTE 2)

The DVD-2800II uses a video D/A converter that conducts D/A conversion of all video signals at 12 bits and allows 4X oversampling in the progressive mode to achieve the high quality picture that DVDs are meant to provide. In addition, NSV technology reduces noise upon D/A conversion.

3.HDCD® (High Definition Compatible Digital) decoder (NOTE 3)

HDCD is an encoding/decoding technology that greatly reduces the distortion occurring at the time of digital recording while maintaining compatibility with the conventional CD format. HDCD allows 24-bit data to be converted into the 16-bit data of current CDs with no loss in sound quality.

4.CD-R/RW playback compatibility

The DVD-2800II can also play CD-R and CD-RW discs (new recording media).

5.High precision 96 kHz 24-bit D/A converter

The DVD-2800II is equipped with a 24-bit D/A converter for faithful D/A conversion of the high quality 24-bit data. This further enhances such aspects of audio performance as the S/N ratio, dynamic range and distortion and makes full use of the possibilities for high quality sound provided by a high number of bits and high sampling rates.

6.Dolby Digital bitstream output compatibility (NOTE 4)

The DVD-2800II is compatible with Dolby Digital bitstream output. When a Dolby Digital decoder is connected, the threedimensional sense and positioning of the sound is recreated extremely naturally, resulting in a strong sense of presence, as if you were in a movie theater or concert hall.

7.DTS bitstream output compatibility (NOTE 5)

The DVD-2800II is compatible with DTS bitstream output, an optional audio format for DVD video. DTS sound can be enjoyed by connecting a commercially available DTS decoder and AV amplifier.

6 REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

2 The DVD-2800 can be controlled from a distance using the included remote control unit (RC-546).

(1) Inserting Batteries

q Remove the remote control unit’s rear cover.

wPlace two “AAA” (R03) batteries in the battery compartment in the direction indicated by the marks.

e Close the rear cover.

Cautions On Batteries

•Use “AAA” (R03) batteries in this remote control unit.

•Replace the batteries with new ones approximately once a year, though this depends on the frequency with which the remote control unit is used.

•If the remote control unit does not operate from close to the main unit, replace the batteries with new ones, even if less than a year has passed.

•The included battery is only for verifying operation. Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.

•When inserting the batteries, be careful to do so in the proper direction, following the < and > marks in the remote control unit’s battery compartment.

•To prevent damage or battery fluid leakage:

•Do not use a new battery with an old one.

•Do not use two different types of batteries.

•Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in flames.

•Remove the batteries when not planning to use the remote control unit for a long period of time.

•If the batteries should leak, carefully wipe off the fluid from the inside of the battery compartment, then insert new batteries.

(2) Using the Remote Control Unit

Approx. 7 meters

30°

30°

•When operating the remote control unit, point it at the remote control sensor as shown on the diagram.

•The remote control unit can be used from a direct distance of approximately 7 meters. This distance will be shorter, however, if there are obstacles in the way or if the remote control unit is not pointed directly at the remote control sensor.

•The remote control unit can be operated at a horizontal angle of up to 30° with respect to the remote control sensor.

NOTES:

•It may be difficult to operate the remote control unit if the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light.

•Do not press buttons on the main unit and on the remote control unit at the same time. Doing so will result in malfunction.

14 MP3 PLAYBACK

Listening to MP3 CD, CD-Rs and CD-RWs

2There are many music distribution sites on the internet from which music files in MP3 format can be downloaded. Music downloaded as instructed on the site and written onto a CD-R/RW disc can be played on the DVD-2800.

If music recorded on commercially available music CDs is converted on a computer into MP3 files using an MP3 encoder (conversion software), the data on a 12 cm CD is reduced into about 1/10 the amount of the original data. Thus, when written in MP3 format, the data of about 10 music CDs can fit onto a single CD-R/RW disc. A single CD-R/RW disc can contain over 100 tracks.

*Values when 5-minute tracks are converted with a standard bit rate of 128 kbps into MP3 files and using a CD-R/RW disc with a capacity of 650 MB.

NOTES:

•The DVD-2800 is compatible with the “MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3” standards (sampling frequency of 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz). It is not compatible with such other standards as “MPEG-2 Audio Layer 3”, “MPEG-2.5 Audio Layer 3”, MP1, MP2, etc.

•It may not be possible to play some CD-R/RW discs due to disc properties, dirt, warping, etc.

•The digital signals output when playing MP3 files are MP3 signals converted into PCM, regardless of whether the audio output presetting is set to “normal” or “PCM conversion”. The signals are output with the same sampling frequency as that of the music source.

•In general, the higher an MP3 file’s bit rate, the better the sound quality. On the DVD-2800, we recommend using MP3 files recorded with bit rates of 128 kbps or greater.

•MP3 files may not be played in the expected order, since the writing software may change the position of the folders and the order of the files when writing them on the CD-R/RW.

•Manual search and programmed playback are not possible with MP3 discs.

•When writing MP3 files on CD-R/RW discs, select “ISO9660 level 1” as the writing software format. This may not be possible with some types of writing software. For details, refer to the writing software’s usage instructions.

•With the DVD-2800 it is possible to display folder names and file names on the screen like titles. The DVD-2800 can display up to 11 characters, consisting of numbers, capital letters, and the “_” (underscore) mark.

•If recorded in a format other than “ISO9660 level 1”, normal display and playback may not be possible. In addition, folder and file names including other symbols will not be displayed properly.

•Be sure to add the extension “.MP3” to MP3 files. Files cannot be played if they have any extension other than “.MP3” or if they have no extension. (with Macintosh computers, MP3 files can be played by adding the extension “.MP3” after the file name consisting of up to 8 capital or numbers and recording the files on the CD-R/RW.)

•Do not apply stickers, tape, etc., to either the label side or the signal side of CD-R/RW discs. If adhesive gets on the surface of a disc, the disc may get stuck inside the DVD-2800 and be impossible to eject.

•The DVD-2800 is not compatible with packet write software.

•The DVD-2800 is not compatible with ID3-Tag.

•The DVD-2800 is not compatible with play lists.
