Chapter 2

2 Place the disc.

Place the disc in the disc tray with the label side facing up.

● Since disc size changes depending on the disc to be played back, be sure to correctly align the disc with the grooves for its size. If the disc is not in its groove, it may be scratched or otherwise damaged.

● To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.

Care and Handling of Discs

How to handle discs

When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the unit to malfunction.

Label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any antistatic agents.

NOTE:

Video CD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)

The still image or motion image which follows a menu screen is called a “scene”. Each scene has a scene number. For more details, refer to “Locating a desired scene using the menu of a Video CD with PBC” (

墌 pg. 31).

Placing a Disc

1 Open the disc tray.

Press x on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.

● Pressing the button again closes the disc tray.

● Do not block the disc tray with your hand while it is opening or closing as this may result in hardware failure.

● Do not place unplayable discs or any object other than a disc in the disc tray.

● Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy objects on it.

CAUTION

Sometimes during playback, noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.) These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.

VPS/PDC Recording

Now available from some TV stations, PDC (Programme Delivery Control) and VPS (Video Programme System) are service designed to assure safe, accurate timer recording. With this system, special code signals are transmitted together with the audio/video signals. These code signals control your unit and have precedence over the advertised times you may have preset into the timer. This means that your unit will start and stop recording when the preset TV programmes actually start and end — even if the broadcast time of a preset TV programme is changed.

NOTES:

● When you use Express Timer Programming, set the start time (VPS or PDC time) exactly as advertised in the TV listing. A different time than advertised will result in no recording.

● VPS/PDC recording is also possible when a satellite receiver or a cable system is connected to L-2 IN/ DECODER connector on your unit.

● VPS/PDC recording is also possible via the L-1 IN/OUT connector.

How to check if the station being received transmits a VPS/PDC signal

A Press ––:–– until the channel position appears on the

front display panel.

About MP3 Disc

This unit can playback CD discs recorded in the MP3 format (we refer to those discs as MP3 discs in this manual). Operations for MP3 discs are similar to those for Audio CD discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.

What is MP3?

MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG1 Audio Layer 3”. MPEG Audio is a compression specification that compresses the audio portion only. This image compression method is used in DVD or Video CD, etc. The audio data has been compressed into about 1/10.

On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on each Track (file), which usually belongs to a Group (folder).

OPERATIONS ON DVD DECK (cont.)

NOTES:

● Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition, some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start playback.

● The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.

● If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc directly

and do not belong to any Group (directory), the unit recognizes them as belonging to an independent Group.

● The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3 disc in the alphabetical order.

● For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and [three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then [two]. Tracks in a Group are played back in the same way.

● Therefore, an MP3 disc on the market may be played back in different order from the order printed on its sleeve.

Track A.mp3

Track B.mp3

MP3 disc

This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 150 Tracks per Group. If a disc includes more than the Tracks above limit, the unit stops detecting Tracks when the number of detected Tracks reaches the limit and ignores the subsequent Tracks. The unit also ignores any non-MP3 file on the disc.

Track C.mp3

Group 2

Group 4

Track D.mp3

Track E.mp3

Track F.mp3

About JPEG Disc

This unit can playback CD discs recorded in the JPEG format (we refer to those discs as JPEG discs in this manual). Operations for JPEG discs are similar to those for Audio CD discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.

What is JPEG?

JPEG is the abbreviation of “Joint Photographic Expert Group”. JPEG is a still-picture data compression system.

On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file, which usually belongs to a Group (folder).

JPEG disc

File A.jpg

File B.jpg

File C.jpg

Group 2

Group 1

EN 51

NOTES:

● We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480, it will take a longer time to be displayed.)

● This unit can only play back baseline JPEG files*. Progressive JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played back.

* Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web, etc.

Progressive JPEG format: Used for web. Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now.

● Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.

● Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition,

some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start playback.

● The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.

● If there are any Files which are stored on a disc directly and do

not belong to any Group (directory), the unit recognized them as belonging to an independent Group.

● The unit plays back Groups/Files on a JPEG disc in the alphabetical order.

● For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and [three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then [two]. Files in a Group are played back in the same way.

● Therefore, a JPEG disc on the market may be played back in different order from the order printed on its sleeve.

File D.jpg

Group 4

This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 150 Files per Group. If a disc includes more than the Files above limit, the unit stops detecting Files when the number of detected Files reaches the limit and ignores the subsequent Files. The unit also ignores any non-JPEG file on the disc.

File E.jpg

File F.jpg

Group 3

NOTES for making a private JPEG disc using a CD-R/ CD-RW disc:

● Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.

● Finalize the disc.
