back.

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

playable (except for dual layer discs).

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

disc should be formatted with UDF Bridge.

4 This sysytem may not recognize some USB

mass storage class devices. This system cannot play back a file whose data volume is more than 2 gigabytes and a file whose data transfer rate is more than 2 Mbps.

It is possible to play back finalized +R/+RW (DVD Video Format only) discs. “DVD” lights on the front display panel when a +R/+RW disc is loaded.

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

*1, *3

DVD VIDEO, VCD, SVCD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R *2, DVD-RW, +R, +RW

MP3, WMA, WAV, JPEG, ASF, DivX, MPEG1, MPEG2

Refer to the separate volume of the operation manual for the network function.

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, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and playback cannot start.

• On some DVD VIDEOs, VCDs, SVCDs or DivX files, 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.

This system is compatible with the PAL standard only.

Unplayable discs

• The following discs cannot be played back:

• DVD-ROM (except for MP3/WMA/JPEG/ASF/ DivX/MPEG1/MPEG2 format), DVD-RAM, CDROM, 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.

• 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.

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

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

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

• Files with an extension of “.mp3”, “.wma”, “.wav”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”, “.asf”, “.divx”, “.div”, “.avi”, “.mpg” or “.mpeg” (extensions with uppercase and lowercase letters mixed are also acceptable) are playable.

• This system cannot play back DVDs recorded in multi-session or multi-border format.

Notes on MP3/WMA/WAV/JPEG/ ASF 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 a character other than single byte English characters is used in the file name of an MP3/ WMA/JPEG/ASF file, the track/file name will not be displayed correctly.

• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3/WMA 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.

• In the case of MP3/WMA discs, since groups/ tracks are played back in alphabetical order, a commercially available MP3/WMA disc may be played back in an order different from that indicated on the label attached to the disc.

• Playing back an MP3/WMA file including a still image may take a long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until playing back starts. If playing back starts, the 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 MP3i or MP3PRO.

• 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 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 computer image editing software, the data may not be displayed.

• This system cannot play back animations such as MOTION JPEG, still pictures (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG, 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, display may take a long time. An image with a resolution of more than 8 192 x 7 680 pixels cannot be displayed.

• The system supports ASF files recorded with the maximum bit rate of 384 kbps and an audio coder decoder of G.726.

• For a WAV file, a disc with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and a transmission rate of 16 bits is recommended.

of 720 x 480 pixels or less (30 fps) and 720 x 576 pixels or less (25 fps).

• Audio stream should conform to MPEG1 Audio Layer-2 or MPEG Audio Layer-3 (MP3).

• The system does not support GMC (Global Motion Compression).

• Files encoded in the interlaced scanning mode may not be played back correctly.

• Playing back a DivX file may take a long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until playback starts. The elapsed time may also not be displayed correctly.

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 Layer-2, MPEG2 Audio Layer-2 or Dolby Digital (MPEG2 only).

Data hierarchy

Handling discs

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

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

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

Audio, still pictures and video are recorded as tracks/files on a disc or a USB mass storage class device. 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

Up to 99 groups

• Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart, flower or credit card, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage the system.

• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it may damage the system.

• Do not bend the disc.

Wipe the disc from the center outward with a soft cloth.

• Be sure not to use thinners, benzenes, cleaners for analog records, or other chemical agents.

Scratches concentrated on a certain part cause sound dropout.

Reference

Track 1

/File 1

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/ASF/DivX/MPEG1/MPEG2 files on a disc, those files are also counted in the total file number.
