* Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVD VIDEOs have their own Region Code numbers. This system can only play back a DVD VIDEO recorded with the Region Code number and video format mentioned above.

Examples:

If a DVD VIDEO with an improper Region Code number is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and playback cannot start.

• On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs, their actual operation may be different from what is explained in this manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of this system.

Discs that cannot be played back

• The following discs cannot be played back: DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (recorded in VR format), CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD,

SACD, etc. Playing back these discs will generate noise and

damage the speakers.

Damaged discs and discs in an extraordinary shape (other than a disc of 12 cm or 8 cm in diameter) cannot be played back.

About MP3/JPEG discs

Playable MP3/JPEG discs and files

• Discs recorded in the ISO 9660 format are playable (except discs recorded in the “packet write” format (UDF format)).

• Discs recorded in the multi-session format are also playable.

• Files with an extension of “.mp3,” “.jpg” or “.jpeg” (extensions with uppercase and lowercase letters mixed are also acceptable) are playable.

Notes on MP3/JPEG discs and files

• A disc may not be played, or reading it may take a long time depending on its recording conditions or properties.

• The time needed for reading varies with the number of groups or tracks (files) recorded on the disc.

• If a character other than single byte English characters is used in the file name of an MP3/JPEG file, the track/ file name will not be displayed correctly.

• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3 Control screen, and the order of files/groups displayed on the JPEG Control screen may be different from that of files/folders displayed on PC’s monitor screen.

• In the case of MP3 discs, since groups/tracks are played in alphabetical order, an off-the-shelf MP3 disc may be played in an order different from that indicated on the label attached to the disc.

• Playing an MP3 file including a still image may take a long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until playing starts. If playing starts, the elapsed time may not be displayed correctly.

• This system does not handle the ID3 tag of the MP3 file.

• For an MP3 file, a disc with a sampling frequency of

44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128 kbps is recommended.

• This system can play a baseline JPEG file, excluding monochromatic JPEG files.

• This system can play JPEG data taken with a digital camera conforming to the DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System) standard (when a function is applied such as the automatic rotation function of a digital camera, data goes beyond the DCF standard, so the image may not be displayed).

• If data has been processed, edited and restored with PC image editing software, the data may not be displayed.

• This system cannot play animations such as MOTION JPEG, or still images (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG, and image data with sound.

• The resolution of 640 x 480 is recommended for JPEG files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480, display may take a long time. An image with a horizontal resolution of more than 2,400 pixels cannot be displayed.

Disc structure

DVD VIDEO

A DVD VIDEO consists of “titles” and each title may be divided into “chapters”.

Title 1 Title 2

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2

DVD AUDIO

A DVD AUDIO consists of “groups” and each group may be divided into “tracks”. Some discs include a “bonus group” that requires a password for playing (A page 28).

Group 1 Group 2

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 1 Track 2

VCD/SVCD/CD

VCD, SVCD and CD consist of “tracks”. In general, each track has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be further divided by indexes.)

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4 Track 5

Introduction

MP3 [JPEG] discs

On an MP3 [JPEG] disc, each still picture (material) is recorded as a track [file]. Tracks [Files] are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers.

This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages folders by “groups”.

Up to 99 groups

Group 1 Group 2

Track 1

[File 1]

This unit can recognize up to 150 tracks [files] per group and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 files in total). Since the unit ignores the tracks [files] whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the groups whose numbers are exceeding 99, they cannot be played back.

• If there is any type of files other than MP3 [JPEG] files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total file number.

Track 2

[File 2]

Up to 150 files

Troubleshooting (continued)

Language codes

Reference

Others

7 It is not possible to switch audio or subtitles

between languages.

• The disc does not contain 2 or more languages.

→ If only a single language is recorded on the

disc, switching to another language is impossible. (A page 25)

7 No subtitle is displayed.

• The disc does not contain any subtitles.

→ A DVD VIDEO without subtitles cannot

display any subtitles.

• The subtitle language is set to “OFF”.

→ Specify a language. (A page 30)

• Before or after A point or B point in A-B Repeat Playback, no subtitle may be displayed.

7 The disc cannot be ejected.

window.

• The tray is not open fully due to an obstacle.

→ Close the tray and remove the obstacle.

7 “LR ONLY” is displayed on the display window

(for a DVD AUDIO).

• Because, for the track being played back, down mix is inhibited for multi-channel sound, the sound of L and R is output directly (a normal action).

If the system does not work properly despite correction measures above

Many functions of this system are implemented by microcomputers. If pressing any button does not result in the normal action, disconnect the power plug from the outlet, wait for a while, and reconnect the system.
