FEATURES

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

The DVD-2800

II is equipped with a high precision Progressive

Scan circuit “Pure Progressive

” 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-2800

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.

w Place 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

30°

Approx. 7 meters

• 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.

V.S.S.

2 Using the V.S.S. (Virtual Surround Sound) function gives the sound a sense of expansion and allows you to achieve surround effects

even when only front speakers (left and right) are used. For discs with surround signals, the V.S.S. function not only gives the sound expansion, it also makes it seem as if sound is coming from the sides, even though there are no speakers there.

NOTES:

• This function only works with DVDs containing two or more channels of Dolby Digital signals.

• Note that for some discs the effect will be weak or there will be no effect.

• For some discs the sound may be distorted. If so turn the V.S.S. function off.

• Turn off other surround functions (the TV’s surround mode, etc.).

• The effect is best when listening at a distance from the TV equal to 3 to 4 times the distance of the left and right speakers (distance A).

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

2 There 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.

Load the CD-R/RW disc on which the MP3 format music files have been written into the DVD-

2800.(See page 18.)

• When the disc is loaded in the DVD-2800, the disc information screen appears.

• If there are multiple folders, proceed to step 2.

• If there are no folders on the disc (if the disc only contains MP3 files), proceed to step 3.

✽

All the folders recorded on the disc are displayed. (The folders are not displayed by layer.)

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.
