Notes:

• Depending on the conditions of the recording equipment or the CD-R/RW (or DVD -R, DVD +R, DVD -RW, DVD +RW) disc itself, some CD-R/RW (or DVD -R, DVD +R, DVD -RW, DVD +RW) discs cannot be played on the unit.

• Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labelled side or the recorded side) of a disc.

• Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heartshaped or octagonal) since they may result in malfunctions.

Notes on DVDs and Video CDs

Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs may be intentionally programmed by software manufacturers. This unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to disc content designed by the software manufacturer, therefore some playback features may not be available or other functions may be added.

MP3

MP3 is a popular compression format used for digital audio files that yields very high near-CD quality sound.

JPEG

Joint Pictures Expert Group. JPEG is a compressed file format that allows you to save images with no limit on the number of colors.

Title (DVD only)

A title is generally a distinct section of a DVD disc. For example the main feature could be title 1, a documentary describing how the film was made could be title 2, and cast interviews could be title 3. Each title is assigned a reference number enabling you to locate it easily.

Chapter (DVD only)

A chapter is a segment of a title such as a scene in a film or one interview in a series. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, chapters may not be recorded.

Track

Adistinct element of audio/visual information, such as the picture or sound track for a specific language (DVD), or a musical piece on a video or audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you to locate the track you want. DVD discs allow one track of video (with multiple angles) and several tracks of audio.

Types of Video CDs

There are two types of Video CDs:

• Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0) PBC (playback control) functions allow you to interact with the system via menus, search functions, or other typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures of high resolution can be played if they are included in the disc.

• Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1) Operated in the same way as Audio CDs, these discs allow playback of video pictures as well as sound, but they are not equipped with PBC.

Regional code

ALL

Notes on Regional Codes

• Most DVD discs have a globe with one or more numbers in it clearly visible on the cover. This number must match your DVD+VCR’s regional code or the disc cannot play.

• If you try to play a DVD with a different region code from your player, the message “Check Regional Code” appears on the TV screen.
