Introduction

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.

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.

• 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 pixels is recommended for JPEG files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480 pixels, display may take a long time. An image with a resolution of more than 8192 x 7680 pixels cannot be displayed.

• Files recorded on DVD-R/RW discs 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)

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 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 [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”.

Group 1 Group 2

Track 1

[File 1]

This product can recognize up to 1000 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 [JPEG] files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total file number.

Radio Data System (RDS)

Receiving FM stations with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, “RDS” appears on the display window on the main unit.

Example:

You can receive the following types of RDS signals.

PS (Program Service):

Shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Program Type):

Shows types of broadcast programs.

RT (Radio Text):

Shows text messages the station sends.

Enhanced Other Networks:

Refer to page 37.

NOTE

RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is weak.

Alarm function

If an “Alarm !” (Emergency) signal is received from a station while listening to the FM station with RDS, the system automatically switches to the station broadcasting the “Alarm !” signal, except when you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM and some FM stations).

Listening to radio

Changing the RDS information

You can see RDS information on the display window on the main unit while listening to an FM station.

Press RDS DISPLAY repeatedly while listening to an FM station.

PS (Program Service):

While searching, “WAIT PS” appears and then the station names will be displayed. “NO PS” appears if no signal is sent.

PTY (Program Type):

While searching, “WAIT PTY" appears and then the type of the broadcast program will be displayed. “NO PTY” appears if no signal is sent.

RT (Radio Text):

While searching, “WAIT RT” appears and then text messages the station sends will be displayed. “NO RT” appears if no signal is sent.

NOTE

• If the system takes time to show the RDS information received from a station, “PS”, “PTY” or “RT” may appear on the display window.

• When PS, PTY, or RT signals appear on the display window, some special characters and marks may not be displayed correctly.

Searching for programs by PTY codes (PTY Search)

One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a particular kind of program by specifying the corresponding PTY code.

• The PTY Search is applicable only to the preset stations.

1 Press SEARCH when the source

is FM.

2 Press PTY or PTY

repeatedly to select a PTY code while “SELECT” is flashing.

Example:

• Refer to page 36 for the PTY codes.

when “News” is selected as a PTY code

3 Press SEARCH.

While searching, “SEARCH” and the selected PTY codes will be displayed.

Example:

The system searches 30 preset FM stations, and stops when it finds the one you have selected. At this time the selected frequency and PTY code flash. When “SEARCH” is pressed while the selected frequency and PTY code are flashing, the system automatically starts to find the next station. After the frequency and PTY code stop flashing or if any other operation is done, the system automatically tunes in to the station.

To stop searching, press SEARCH.

If no program is found, “NOTFOUND” appears

on the display window and the system returns to the last received station.

Listening to radio

Switching to a program type of your choice temporarily

The Enhanced Other Networks function allows the system to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of your choice (TA, News, or Info) from a different station when you are listening to a RDS station.

• Enhanced Other Networks function is applicable only to the preset stations.

1 Press TA/News/Info while

listening to an FM station with RDS.

function is canceled.

How the Enhanced Other Networks function actually works:

CASE 1

If there is no station broadcasting the program you have selected:

The system continues tuning in to the current station.

When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected, the system automatically switches to the station. The data type starts flashing on the display window.

When the program is over, the system goes back to the previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Networks function still remains acti vated.

CASE 2

If there is a station broadcasting the program you have selected:

The system tunes in to the program. The data type starts flashing on the display window.

When the program is ov er, the system goes back to the previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Networks function still remains acti vated.

To cancel the Enhanced Other Networks function, select “OFF” in Step 2.

• The Enhanced Other Networks function will also be canceled when you change the source or when you turn off the main unit.

NOTE

• The Enhanced Other Networks data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this system.

• While listening to a program tuned in to by the Enhanced Other Networks function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced Other Networks data.

• If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned in to by the Enhanced Other Networks function and the currently tuned station, press TA/ News/Info to cancel the Enhanced Other Networks function.
