Introduction — Playable discs

Discs you can play

You can play back the following discs (12 cm and 8 cm) on this unit:

•DVD Video: Recorded in either PAL or NTSC color system with Region Code “3” (see below).

–DVD-R/DVD-RW recorded in the DVDVideo format can also be played (see page 46).

•Video CD (VCD)/audio CD

•MP3/WMA: Recorded either in CD-R/ CD-RW or DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD-ROM.

–CD-R/CD-RW: Compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1, ISO 9660 Level 2, Romeo, and Joliet.

–DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD-ROM: Compliant with UDF-Bridge Format*1.

On some discs, the actual operations may be different from what is explained in this manual.

Discs cannot be played back

DVD-Audio, DVD-ROM (data), DVD-RAM, DVD-R/DVD-RW recorded in the DVD-VR format, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.

•Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers.

Note on Region Code:

DVD players and DVD Video discs have their own Region Code numbers. This unit can only playback DVD discs whose Region Code numbers include “3.”

Examples:

If you insert a DVD Video disc of an incorrect Region Code

“REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the monitor.

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 NonDVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.

Digital audio formats

The System can play back the following digital audio formats.

Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, the same format used for CDs and most studio masters.

Dolby Digital *2: Compressed digital audio, developed by Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode to create the realistic surround sound.

DTS *3 (Digital Theater Systems):

Compressed digital audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which enables multichannel like Dolby Digital. As the compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it provides wider dynamic range and better separation.

MPEG Audio: Another compressed digital audio which also enables multi-channel encode to create the realistic surround sound. However, this System downmix the multi-channel signals into 2 channels (decoded PCM) and play it back.

*1 A hybrid file system used to provide compatibility with ISO 9660 for accessing any type of files on the disc. (UDF stands for Universal Disk Format.)

*2 Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby” and the

double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

*3 “DTS” and “DTS 2.0 + Digital Out” are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
