DIGITAL AUDIO
In addition to the above discs, this unit can play back audio
data recorded on CD Text, CD-G (CD Graphics), and
CD-Extra.
• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW,
DVD-R, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage
the speakers.
• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD, the actual operations
may be different from what is explained in this manual,
due to the programming and disc structure; such
difference are not a malfunction of this unit.
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
• User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs
(Rewritable) can be played back only if they have been
“finalized.”
• The unit can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs if they have
been recorded in the audio CD format.
The unit can also play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3
files are recorded on them.
However, these discs may not play back because of their
disc characteristics, recording conditions, damage to the
disc.
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their
instructions or cautions carefully.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time, as the
reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.

About audio formats
Some audio formats used on discs are described below:
• Linear PCM
Uncompressed digital audio, the same format used on
CDs and most studio masters.
DVD supports 2-channels at sampling rates of 48/96 kHz
and quantization of 16/20/24 bits.
Audio CD/Video CD is limited to 2-channels at 44.1 kHz
at 16 bits.
• Dolby Digital
A surround audio format configured with up to six
channels. Because the “LFE (Low-Frequency Effect for
sub-woofer, etc.)” channel is an auxiliary channel, so this
format is called “5.1-channel system.”
Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channel
information.
• DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
A surround audio format configured with up to six (5.1)
channel which is the same as Dolby Digital. Because the
compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channel information.
• MPEG Multichannel
A surround audio format which can handle the
augmentative 7.1-channel format (rare for home use), as
well as 5.1-channel.
Disc Structure
A DVD consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided
into “chapters.” (See Example 1.)
For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each
movie may have its own title number, and it may be further
divided into chapters.
Example 1: DVD
On the other hand, a SVCD, VCD, and Audio CD consist
of “tracks.” (See Example 2.)
In general, each track has its own track number. (On some
discs, each track may also be divided by Indexes.)
Example 2: SVCD/VCD/Audio CD
IMPORTANT:
• This unit does not provide the DTS decoding
function.
The sound signals of DTS are only output through the
DVD OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT terminal and are not
output through the speakers of this unit.
To listen to the sound of DTS, connect a DTS decoder
or an amplifier compatible with DTS.
• To reproduce the multichannel sounds such as Dolby
Digital 5.1 ch, DTS Digital Surround and MPEG
Multichannel, connect an amplifier or a decoder
compatible with these multichannel sources to this
unit. (See page 11.)
• Playing back an Audio CD whose sound is encoded
with DTS may generate noise and damage the
speakers.
When playing such a disc, turn the volume level on
this unit to minimum.

About MP3 disc
What is MP3?
MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or
MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data
compression. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can
contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.
Disc structure
On an MP3 disc, each item (song) is recorded as a track (file),
which usually belongs to a group (folder).
Track 1
This unit can recognize up to 99 groups and up to 254 tracks per
group; however, the number of tracks to be played back on a disc
is limited to 1023.
If a disc includes more than 1023 tracks, the unit ignores any
tracks which have been assigned track numbers exceeding 1023.
The unit also ignores any non-MP3 files on the disc.

NOTES for MP3 discs
• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout
time, due to the complexity of the folder/file configuration.
• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2
as the disc format.
• Some MP3 discs may not be played back because of their disc
characteristics or recording conditions.
• The unit does not support “packet writing” of discs.
• If there are any tracks (files) which are stored on a disc directly
and do not belong to any group (folder), the unit recognizes
them as belonging to a particular group.
• The unit does not output a digital audio signal from the DVD
OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT terminal when playing back an MP3
disc.
• The unit plays back groups/tracks on an MP3 disc in
alphabetical order.
Ex.: When there are three title groups [one], [two] and [three] on
a disc:
Recorded playback order

Before You Start Recording on a Tape
• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright
owner.
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the volume level and the tone level
adjustment—“BASS” and “TREBLE” (see pages 20 and 21). Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you
are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
• While recording, you can hear the AHB PRO (Active Hyper Bass Pro) effect through the speakers or headphones.
However, the sound is recorded without this effect (see page 21).
• While recording, the 3D PHONIC function (see page 48) or the COMPRESSION function (see page 58) is activated,
the sound is recorded with these effects.
• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Place the unit away
from the TV.
• You can use only type I tapes for recording.
English
To protect your recordings
Cassettes have two small taps on the back to protect
against unexpected erasure or recording.
To protect your recording, remove these tabs.
To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with
adhesive tape.
Adhesive tape
Do not use type II and type IV tapes since the unit
is not compatible with such tapes.
The use of the C-120 or thinner tape is not
recommended, since characteristic deterioration
may occur and this tape easily jams in the pinch
rollers and the capstans.
To keep the best recording and playback sound
quality
If the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers of the cassette
deck become dirty, the following will occur:
• Loss of sound quality
• Discontinuous sound
• Fading
• Incomplete erasure
• Difficulty in recording
To clean the heads, capstans, and pinch rollers
Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol.
Pinch roller
Capstans
Erase head
Record/play head
To demagnetize the head
Turn off the unit, and use a head demagnetizer
(available at electronics and audio shops).
At the start and end of cassette tapes
There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Thus,
when recording from discs, FM/AM broadcasts, or external
equipment, wind the leader tape first to ensure that the
recording will be made without any music part lost.
