Additional Information
Learning More about This System
Before Operating the System
Playable Disc Types:
• About audio format
–
Linear PCM:
format used for CDs and most studio masters.
–
Dolby Digital:
Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel
encode to create the realistic surround sound.
–
DTS (Digital Theater Systems):
audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc.,
which enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the
compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.
– When playing back a DVD Audio disc recorded by MLP
(Meridian Lossless Packing; a lossless audio
compression system that can completely recreate the
PCM signal), the signals recognized as the linear PCM
signal, however, no indicator lights up in the display
window.

Daily Operations—Playback
Listening to the Radio:
• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number,
the previously stored station in that number will be erased.
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure
occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If
this happens, preset the stations again.
Playing Back a Disc:
• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual
operations may be different from what is explained in this
manual, due to the programming and disc structure; such
differences are not a malfunction of this System.
• Some DVD Audios prohibit downmix. When you play
back such a disc, “LR ONLY” appears on the display and
the System plays back the left front and right front signals.
• For MP3/WMA/JPEG playback...
– MP3/WMA/JPEG discs are required a longer readout
time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of
the group/file configuration.)
– Some MP3/WMA/JPEG files cannot be played back and
will be skipped. This results from their recording
processes and conditions.
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1
or Level 2 for the disc format.
– This system can play back MP3/WMA/JPEG files with
the extension code <.mp3>, <.wma> or <.jpg>
(regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file
at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.
This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of
less than 64 kbps.
(see pages 7 to 9)
