Introduction
* 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 below.
For your available Region Code, check the rear panel
of your main unit.
This system can play back only DVD VIDEOs whose
Region Code numbers include “4”.
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.
Notes on DVD-R and DVD-RW
• This system can also play finalized DVD-Rs or DVDRWs recorded in DVD-Video format.
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
• This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3,
WMA, and JPEG files are recorded on them with ISO
9660 format.
• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20
sessions).
• This system cannot play “packet write” (UDF format)
discs. Some discs may not be played back because of
their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or
damage or stain on them.
Discs that cannot be played back
• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R/-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.
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 may not be recommended.

About discs (continued)
Notes on all files
• The system can only recognize and play files with one
of the following extensions, which can be in any
combination of upper and lower case;
• MP3: “.MP3”, “.mp3”
• WMA: “.WMA”, “.wma”
• JPEG: “.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”
• If a character other than single byte English characters
is used in the file name of an MP3/WMA/JPEG file, the
track/file name will not be displayed correctly.
• The system recognizes up to 150 tracks (files) per
group, 99 groups per disc, and the total number of the
tracks (files) that the system can play is 1 000.
• Some files may not be played back normally because
of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.
For MP3/WMA files
• An off-the-shelf MP3 disc may be played in an order
different from that indicated on the label attached to
the disc.
• The system supports MP3/WMA files recorded with a
bit rate of 32 – 320 kbps and a sampling frequency of
16 kHz, 22.05 kHz, 24 kHz (WMA only), 32 kHz, 44.1
kHz, or 48 kHz.
• If the tag information (album name, artist, and track
title, etc.) is recorded on a disc, it appears in the file
control display on the TV screen.
• We recommend to record each piece of material
(song) at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz and at a data
transfer rate of 128 (96 for WMA only) kbps.
• This system cannot play back files encoded with
Multiple Bit Rate (MBR). (MBR is a format to encode a
file content at several different bit rates.)
For JPEG files
• We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution.
• 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.
• An image with a resolution of more than 8 192 x 7 680
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 (page 27).
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
MP3/WMA [JPEG] discs
On an MP3/WMA [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”.
Group 1 Group 2
Track 1
[File 1]
Track 2
[File 2]
Group 3 Group 4 Group 5

This product can recognize up to 1 000 tracks
[files] in a disc. Also, the product can recognize up
to 150 tracks [files] per group and up to 99 groups
in a disc. 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/WMA
[JPEG] files in a folder, those files are also
counted in the total file number.
