3. HANDLING DISCS6. DVD VIDEO SYSTEM

DVD video is a high-quality digital video source
that provides crisp and clear images. One 12 cm
disc contains either one film or four hours of
music.

DVD Video Features

This unit provides the following functions in ad­dition to the high image quality and sound qual­ity of DVD video.

Notes:

• The functions described in the section, “F eatures”,
for example, the recorded language, subtitles,
angles, etc. differ with the DVD video disc. Refer
to the instructions provided with the DVD video.

• Some disc functions may operate differently than
described in this manual.

Multi-sound function

DVD video can store up to 8 languages for one
film; select the language of your preference.

• The languages stored on the disc are indicated by
the icon shown below.

Multi-angle function

A DVD video that is filmed from multiple angles
allows you to select the angle of choice.

• The number of recorded angles are indicated by
the icon shown below.

Multi-story function

When a DVD video contains more than one story
for a film, you can select the story you wish to

Listening to an MP3

This unit is a ID3 Tag compatible model.
This unit supports the title, artist and album

display of the ID3 Tag versions 1 and 1.1.

MP3

What is MP3?

MP3 is an audio compression method and
classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards.
This audio compression method has penetrated
into PC users and become a standard format.

This MP3 features the original audio data
compression to about 10 percent of its initial size
with a high sound quality . This means that about
10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc
or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time
without having to change CDs.

Precautions when creating an MP3
disc

● File extensions

1. Always add a file extension “.MP3” or “.mp3”
to an MP3 file by using single byte letters. If
you add a file extension other than specified
or forget to add the file extension “.MP3” or
“.mp3”, the file cannot be played. In addition,
if you use upper case and lower case letters
(capital and small letters) mixedly for file
extensions, normal play may not be possib le .

2. Files without MP3 data will not play.

● Logical format (File system)

1. When writing an MP3 file on a CD-R disc or
CD-RW disc, please select “ISO9660 level 1
or level 2 (without including e xpansion format)”
as the writing software format. Normal
playback may not be possible if the disc is
recorded on another format.

2. The folder name and filename can be
displayed as the title during MP3 play b ut the
title must be within 31 and 27 single byte
alphabetical letters and numerals for the f older
name and filename, respectively (without
including an extension). Entering more letters
or numerals than specified may cause an
incorrect display.

● Folder structure

1. A disc with a folder having more than 8
hierarchical levels will conflict with the
ISO9660 and playback will be impossible.

● Number of files or folders

1. A total of 255 files and folders are allowed.
(However, the maximum number of folders
must be within 254.) When the number of files
and folders is more than 256, playback of
tracks in excess of that number is impossib le.

2. Tracks are played in the order that they were
recorded onto a disc. (Tracks might not always
be played in the order displayed on the PC.)

• Some noise may occur depending on the type
of encoder software used while recording.

• Files created using LAME (Lame Aint MP3
Encoder) may not be played properly.

• In case of a track recorded at VBR (variable
bit rate), the display for the play time of the
track may be slightly diff erent from the actual
play time.

Also, the recommended value of VBR ranges
from 64 kbps to 320 kbps.

• Depending on the damage conditions of a
file, it may occur that the file is not played
and the next file is played instead.

Also, if the damage is in a severe condition,
play stops showing the “DISC ERR OR” displa y .

After disc selection, the play mode is automatically
engaged.

• If ID3 Tag information was entered with 2-byte
characters, it may occur that the characters are
not reproduced properly on the display.
