Basic operations

Resuming playback

The unit can memorize the position on a disc where you interrupted playback, and resume playback from that position later. There are three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC RESUME. The mode is initially set to ON when you purchased the unit.

• You can select the mode using the preference display (see page 35).

When the resume mode is “ON”

When you press 7, the unit stops playback and memorizes the interrupted position. The TV screen shows [RESUME STOP] and the [RESUME] indicator lights up in the display window. The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared if you turn off the unit. When you turn off the unit after setting the resume function, simply press 3. The unit is turned on, and playback starts from the interrupted position. If you turn

on the unit by pressing STANDBY/ON then press 3, playback starts from the beginning of the disc. Note that the memory is cleared if you eject the disc.

When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME”

When you press 7, the unit stops playback and memorizes the interrupted position. The TV screen shows [RESUME STOP] and the [RESUME] indicator lights up in the display window.

The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared if you eject the disc or turn off the unit.

Hint

The unit memorizes interrupted positions for the last 30 discs played. Storing a new interrupted position will erase the interrupted position stored for the first disc.

To clear the memory

Press 7 while the disc is stopped.

About screen saver function

A television monitor may have an image burned into it if a static image is displayed for a long time. To prevent this, the unit automatically activates the screen saver function if a static picture, such as an on-screen display or menu, is displayed for over 5 minutes. When the screen saver function is activated, the TV screen gets darker. Pressing any buttons will release the screen saver function (see page 34).

• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted position has already been stored, the memory will be updated with the new interrupted position.

• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the unit regards each side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.

• When the unit memorizes an interrupted point for a disc, it also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.

• The unit may not resume playback exactly from the interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with PBC function, the unit may resume playback from a point slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was interrupted.

About MP3 discs

On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a file (track). Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.

• Each file is regarded as a track.

• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.

• A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.

• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group 1.”

• The unit recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99 groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3 files, they also count in the 150-file total.

If you press 3 during playback, or press 7 to stop playback followed by 3, the unit starts playback from the beginning of the current track.

NOTES

• The unit does not support “packet writing (UDF format)” discs.

• The unit does not support the ID3 tag.

• The unit supports discs recorded with multiple sessions.

• Some discs may not play due to disc characteristics or recording conditions.

• Programmed and random playback functions do not work with MP3 discs.

• The unit only can play back tracks with the following file extensions; “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mp3” and “.mP3.”

• Time required for reading the disc contents may vary for different discs, depending on the numbers of groups (folders) and tracks (files) recorded, etc.

• You cannot advance or reverse playback by pressing ¡ or 1, or by holding down ¢ or 4 during MP3 disc playback.

Appendix D: Glossary

Aspect ratio

A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV. It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.

Bitstream

The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Chapter/title

Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track for Video CD or Audio CD.

Dolby Digital (AC3)

A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the original four channels for playback. Because the audio is recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a two-channel stereo system. Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is enhanced channel separation.

Down-mix

Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output connectors.

DTS

A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six (5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder, either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Linear PCM audio

PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the usual method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.

MP3

MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data reduction of about 1:10.

MPEG

A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual information. “MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Video CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based on MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Experts Group.

MPEG Multichannel

This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1 channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie theater experience in your own home.

NTSC (National television system committee)

A black and white and color television system format used in the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.

PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)

A color television system format used extensively in Western Europe.

PBC

PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the disc through menus.

RGB

An abbreviation for Red, Green, and Blue. Color monitors and color television sets display different hues by mixing these three colors.

Trac k

The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.

Dynamic range

The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.

JPEG

A popular file format for still image compression and storage. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.

• baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.

• progressive JPEG: used for the web

• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now
