these batteries must be followed strictly.
Failure to heed the following precautions may result in
damage to the unit, remote control or video cassette.
1. DO NOT place the unit —
— in an environment prone to extreme temperatures or
humidity.
— in direct sunlight.
— in a dusty environment.
— in an environment where strong magnetic fields are
generated.

● Operation and audio quality of this unit are not guaranteed for
discs that do not conform to the Compact Disc specification
(CD-DA).
Before you play back a CD, check for the CD logo and read
the notes on the package to confirm that it conforms to the
Compact Disc specification.
● Depending on the intentions of the author of the software,
recording conditions of DVD discs and Video CD discs may
be restricted. Since this unit plays back discs according to the
intentions of the author of the software as indicated on the
disc, some functions may not operate as commanded.
● When switching from the first layer to the second layer of
double-layered DVD VIDEO discs, the image and sound may
be momentarily distorted. This is not a malfunction.
Region Number
The world is divided into 6 regions for DVD VIDEO discs. DVD
VIDEO discs are assigned a region number to indicate which
region they may be played back in. A disc cannot be played
back on this unit unless the region number of the disc matches
that of the unit. The region number for this unit is “4”. Only discs
whose region number includes “4” can be played back such as
shown below.

Number of audio tracks
Dolby Digital mark
Dolby Laboratories has developed a digital
surround system for the home. This mark
indicates that you may enjoy 5.1-channel
audio (front left and right, center, rear left and
right, and a channel for LFE (Low-Frequency
Effects)).
DTS (Digital Theater System)
You can enjoy DTS audio if you connect an
amplifier with a built-in DTS decoder to the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT connector of the unit.
File Structure of Discs
DVD VIDEO
Typically, DVD VIDEO discs are made up of larger units called
“titles”. Each title has a number (title number) that can be used
to select desired titles. Titles are further divided into units called
“chapters”. Each chapter has a number (chapter number) that
can also be used to select desired chapters. Note that some discs
are not divided into titles and chapters.
Title1 Title2
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 1Chapter 3
Audio CD/Video CD
Typically, Audio CD discs are divided into separate tracks each
containing one song. Each track is assigned a number. For
example, the third track is Track 3. The same is true for Video
CD discs.
Track 1 Track 4Track 3Track 2
Chapter 2
2 Place the disc.
Place the disc in the disc tray with
the label side facing up.
● Since disc size changes depending on
the disc to be played back, be sure to
correctly align the disc with the
grooves for its size. If the disc is not in
its groove, it may be scratched or
otherwise damaged.
● To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according to the inner groove.
Care and Handling of Discs
How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not
touch the surface of the disc.
Since discs are made of
plastic, they are easily
damaged. If a disc gets dirty,
dusty, scratched or warped,
the images and sound will not
be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the unit to
malfunction.
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive
on its surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on
top of one another without their protective cases, they can be
damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be
exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or
temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering
to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving
from the center outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a
cloth moistened with water. Never use
record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any antistatic agents.
NOTE:
Video CD discs that support Playback Control (PBC)
The still image or motion image which follows a menu screen is
called a “scene”. Each scene has a scene number.
For more details, refer to “Locating a desired scene using the
menu of a Video CD with PBC” (
墌 pg. 33).
Placing a Disc
1 Open the disc tray.
Press x on the DVD deck to open the disc tray.
● Pressing the button again closes
the disc tray.
● Do not block the disc tray with
your hand while it is opening or
closing as this may result in
hardware failure.
●
Do not place unplayable discs or
any object other than a disc in
the disc tray.
● Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy
objects on it.
CAUTION
Sometimes during playback, noise or images may be garbled.
This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to
industry standards.)
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the
malfunction of the unit.

has already been memorized, the memory will be updated
with the new resume point.

the oldest memorized point. Stopping playback of a disc for
which a resume point is already stored may change the order
in which the points are stored. This may potentially change the

About MP3 Disc
This unit can playback CD discs recorded in the MP3 format (we
refer to those discs as MP3 discs in this manual).
Operations for MP3 discs are similar to those for Audio CD
discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.
What is MP3?
MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG1 Audio Layer 3”. MPEG
Audio is a compression specification that compresses the audio
portion only. This image compression method is used in DVD or
Video CD, etc. The audio data has been compressed into about
1/10.
On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on each Track
(file), which usually belongs to a Group (folder).
OPERATIONS ON DVD DECK (cont.)
NOTES:
● Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition,
some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start
playback.
● The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.
● If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc directly
and do not belong to any Group (directory), the unit
recognizes them as belonging to an independent Group.
● The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3 disc in the
alphabetical order.
● For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and
[three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then
[two]. Tracks in a Group are played back in the same way.
● Therefore, an MP3 disc on the market may be played back in
different order from the order printed on its sleeve.
Track A.mp3
Track B.mp3
MP3 disc
This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 150 Tracks
per Group.
If a disc includes more than the Tracks above limit, the unit stops
detecting Tracks when the number of detected Tracks reaches
the limit and ignores the subsequent Tracks. The unit also
ignores any non-MP3 file on the disc.
Track C.mp3
Group 2
Group 4
Track D.mp3
Track E.mp3
Track F.mp3

About JPEG Disc
This unit can playback CD discs recorded in the JPEG format (we

Operations for JPEG discs are similar to those for Audio CD
discs, though there are some restrictions and differences.
What is JPEG?
JPEG is the abbreviation of “Joint Photographic Expert Group”.
JPEG is a still-picture data compression system.
On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file, which
usually belongs to a Group (folder).

Group 1
EN 53
NOTES:
● We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a
file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480,
it will take a longer time to be displayed.)
● This unit can only play back baseline JPEG files*. Progressive
JPEG files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played back.
* Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web, etc.
Progressive JPEG format: Used for web.
Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used now.
● Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.
● Because of the disc characteristics or recording condition,
some discs may not be played back or it takes time to start
playback.
● The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.
● If there are any Files which are stored on a disc directly and do
not belong to any Group (directory), the unit recognized them
as belonging to an independent Group.
● The unit plays back Groups/Files on a JPEG disc in the
alphabetical order.
● For example, if there are three title Groups [one], [two] and
[three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three] then
[two]. Files in a Group are played back in the same way.
● Therefore, a JPEG disc on the market may be played back in
different order from the order printed on its sleeve.
