About discs/files

Playable disc/file types

Playable discs

Playable files recorded on a disc

• Even though listed above, some types may be unplayable.

1 Discs should be finalized before being played back.

2 DVD VR means a DVD-R/DVD-RW recorded in Video

Recording (VR) format.

3 A CD-R/CD-RW recorded in multi-session format (up

to 20 sessions) is playable.

4 A DVD-R recorded in multi-border format is also

playable (except for dual layer discs).

5 For files recorded on a DVD-R/DVD-RW, the disc

should be formatted with UDF Bridge.

It is possible to play back finalized +R/+RW (DVD Video Format only) discs.

Some discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stains on them.

Only sounds can be played back from the following discs:

MIX-MODE CD CD-G CD-EXTRA CD TEXT

This system is designed for use with the PAL standard but you can also play back discs recorded in NTSC format. When you play back a disc recorded in NTSC format on the main unit connected to the TV using a component video cable, the picture may be distorted. To prevent picture distortion, use a SCART cable. (Refer to page 12 for connecting a SCART cable.)

Region code of DVD VIDEO

DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own region code numbers. This system can play back a DVD VIDEO whose region code number includes the system’s region code, which is indicated on the rear panel.

Examples:

If a DVD VIDEO with an improper region code number is loaded, 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/file programming and disc/file structure, not a malfunction of this system.

Unplayable discs

• The following discs cannot be played back:

• DVD-ROM (except for MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG1/ MPEG2 format), DVD-RAM, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, SACD, etc.

DVD VIDEO, DVD AUDIO, DVD VR*2, VCD, SVCD, CD,

CD-R

, CD-RW*3, DVD-R

MP3, WMA, WAV, JPEG, MPEG1, MPEG2

• Playing back these discs generates noise and may damage the speakers.

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

• JVC does not guarantee the operation and sound quality of discs not authorized by CD-DA, which is a CD specification. Before playback, confirm that the disc complies with this CD specification by checking the marks and reading notes printed on the package.

*4, *5

, DVD-RW*5, +R, +RW

Playable MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/ MPEG1/MPEG2 discs/files

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

• Files with an extension of “.mp3”, “.wma”, “.wav”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”, “.mpg” or “.mpeg” (extensions with mixed cases are also acceptable) are playable.

Notes on MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/ discs/files

• A disc may not be played back, 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 characters other than single-byte alphanumeric characters are used in the file name of an MP3/WMA/ WAV/JPEG file, the track/file name is not displayed correctly.

• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3/ WMA/WAV menu screen, and the order of files/groups displayed on the JPEG menu screen may be different from that of files/folders displayed on a computer monitor screen.

• Playing back an MP3/WMA file that contains a still image may take a long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until playback starts. This elapsed time may not be displayed correctly.

• For an MP3/WMA file, a disc with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128 kbps is recommended.

• This system is not compatible with an MP3i or MP3PRO file.

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

• This system can play back JPEG data taken with a digital camera conforming to the DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System) standard (when a function such as the automatic rotation function of a digital camera is applied, the data may no longer conform to the DCF standard, and the image may not be displayed).

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

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

• The resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is recommended for JPEG files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480 pixels, it may take a long time to display the file. An image with a resolution of more than 8 192 x 7 680 pixels cannot be displayed.

• A WAV file with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and a quantization bit rate of 16 bits is recommended.

Notes on MPEG1/MPEG2 discs/files

• The stream structure of MPEG1/MPEG2 discs and files should conform to MPEG system/program stream.

• 720 x 576 pixels (25 fps)/720 x 480 pixels (30 fps) is recommended for the highest resolution.

• This system also supports the resolutions of 352 x 576/480 x 576/352 x 288 pixels (25 fps) and 352 x 480/ 480 x 480/352 x 240 pixels (30 fps).

• The profile and level should be MP@ML (Main Profile at Main Level)/SP@ML (Simple Profile at Main Level)/ MP@LL (Main Profile at Low Level).

• Audio streams should conform to MPEG1 Audio Layer2, MPEG2 Audio Layer-2 or Dolby Digital (MPEG2 files only).

Caution for DualDisc playback:

The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product is not recommended.

Introduction

Data hierarchy

DVD VIDEO/DVD VR

A DVD VIDEO consists of “titles” and each title may be divided into “chapters”. A DVD VR consists of “original programs” or “play lists” and each original program/play list may be divided into “chapters”.

Title 1/Original program 1/

Play list 1

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 playback. (Refer to page 32.)

Group 1 Group 2

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 1 Track 2

VCD/SVCD/CD

A VCD/SVCD/CD consists 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

Title 2/Original

program 2/Play list 2

MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/MPEG1/MPEG2 files

Audio, still pictures and video are recorded as tracks/files on a disc. Tracks/files are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders, creating hierarchical folder layers. This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of files and manages folders by “groups”.

Group 1 Group 2

Track 1 /

File 1

Track 2 /

File 2

Up to 150 files

Up to 99 groups

Group 3 Group 4 Group 5

This system can recognize up to 4 000 tracks/files on a disc. Also, the system can recognize up to 150 tracks/files per group and up to 99 groups on a disc. Since the system ignores the tracks/files with numbers exceeding 150 and the groups with numbers exceeding 99, these cannot be played back. If there are any type of files other than MP3/WMA/ WAV/JPEG/MPEG1/MPEG2 files on a disc, those files are also counted in the total number of files.

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) is a technology for broadcasting of audio using digital radio transmission. DAB delivers digital quality sound without any annoying interference or signal distortion.

In contrast to FM broadcast, where each program is transmitted on its own frequency, DAB combines several programs (called “services”) to form one “ensemble”.

If only one audio language/subtitle language/view angle is recorded on the disc, you cannot change the setting.

If no subtitles are recorded on the disc/file, you cannot display subtitles.

Select the subtitle language.

This is not a malfunction.

Select “FILE TYPE”. You can play back only the files of the types selected with “FILE TYPE”. If the main unit has read the file before you make the “FILE TYPE” setting, reset “FILE TYPE” to the desired file type, and then reload the disc.
