Notes on MP3/WMA/JPEG discs and files
• A disc may not be played back, or reading it may
take a long time depending on its recording conditions or properties.
• The time needed for reading varies with the number of groups or tracks (files) recorded on the disc.
• If a character other than single byte English
characters is used in the file name of an MP3/
WMA/JPEG file, the track/file name will not be
displayed correctly.
• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the
MP3/WMA Control screen, and the order of files/
groups displayed on the JPEG Control screen
may be different from that of files/folders displayed on PC's monitor screen.
• In the case of MP3/WMA discs, since groups/
tracks are played back in alphabetical order, an
off-the-shelf MP3/WMA disc may be played back
in an order different from that indicated on the
label attached to the disc.
• Playing back an MP3/WMA file including a still
image may take a long time. The elapsed time is
not displayed until playing back starts. If playing
back starts, the elapsed time may not be displayed correctly.
• For an MP3/WMA file, a disc with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128
kbps is recommended.
• This product is not compatible with MP3i or
MP3PRO.
• This product can play back a baseline JPEG file,
excluding monochromatic JPEG files.
• This product can play back JPEG data taken with a
digital camera conforming to the DCF (Design
Rule for Camera File System) standard (when a
function is applied such as the automatic rotation
function of a digital camera, data goes beyond the
DCF standard, so the image may not be displayed).
• If data has been processed, edited and restored
with PC image editing software, the data may
not be displayed.
• This product cannot play back animations such
as MOTION JPEG, or still pictures (TIFF etc.)
other than JPEG, and image data with sound.
• The resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is recommended for JPEG files. If a file has been
recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480
pixels, display may take a long time. An image
with a resolution of more than 8192 x 7680 pixels cannot be displayed.
• Files recorded on DVD-R/RW discs cannot be
played back.
DVD AUDIO
A DVD AUDIO consists of "groups" and each
group may be divided into "tracks".
Some discs include a "bonus group" that requires
a password for playing ( page 31).
Group 1 Group 2
Track 1Track 2Track 3Track 1Track 2
VCD/SVCD/CD
VCD, SVCD and CD consist of "tracks".
In general, each track has its own track number.
(On some discs, each track may also be further
divided by indexes.)
Track 1Track 2Track 3Track 4Track 5
MP3/WMA [JPEG] discs
On an MP3/WMA [JPEG] disc, each still picture
(material) is recorded as a track [file]. Tracks
[Files] are usually grouped into a folder. Folders
can also include other folders, creating hierarchical
folder layers.
This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of
a disc and manages folders by "groups".
Up to 99 groups
Group 1 Group 2
Track 1
[File 1]
Track 2
[File 2]
Up to 150 files
Group 3 Group 4 Group 5
This product can recognize up to 1000 tracks [files]
in a disc. Also, the product can recognize up to
150 tracks [files] per group and up to 99 groups in
a disc. Since the unit ignores the tracks [files]
whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the groups
whose numbers are exceeding 99, they cannot be
played back.
• If there is any type of files other than MP3/WMA
[JPEG] files in a disc, those tracks [files] are also
counted in the total file number.

Setting Up the Unit
This products allows you to enjoy virtual surround sound using only the four speakers in the front, as it is
equipped with the 4-speaker front surround function (See Pattern 1 in the diagram below).
In addition to 4-speaker front surround, Pattern 2 and Pattern 3 are available.
■ Pattern 1
About Front Surround Function
Instead of the traditional 5.1 channel playback system,
we have introduced a virtual surround system that utilizes four speakers situated in the front.
The mechanism is based on an original JVC technique
in which two center speakers, separated by the average distance between two human ears, deal with the
center signals and the surround signals, while the LFE
(low frequency sound effect) is added to steady the L
channel signal and the R channel signal that are transmitted to the main speakers on the left and right sides.
A high quality digital amplifier drives the speakers at
30W x 4ch.

• Our original speaker layout and signal processing
does not only save space, but it also ensures a
more realistic sound field.
• Since high quality sound is produced using basic 2
channel stereo, it is ideal for playing music.
• The center surround speaker allows listeners to
enjoy realistic speech localization.
• It provides realistic surround effects, with wider listening points for both front and back areas.

NOTE
• When placing the surround speaker on a stand,
such as a speaker stand, attach the foot seals to
the surround speakers, depending on the way the
speakers are placed (
• When mounting the surround speakers on the
wall, pay attention to the following:
• Obtain screws that are strong enough to mount
the speakers to the wall.
• If the screws used are not strong enough or the
speakers are not properly mounted, the speakers may fall down, causing injury or damaging
other equipment. If you are not sure about the
strength of the wall or other things, make sure
to consult with a specialist.
• Give careful consideration to the place to which
the speakers are mounted. If the speakers are
mounted in areas that get in the way in daily
lives or in locations where they can easily bump
into people, it may result in injury or damage to
the equipment.

Convenient Functions/Reference
Introduction
Restrictions on MDs
Because the MD recording method has some restrictions, the following phenomena may occur. The phenomena are not a malfunction of this product.
Phenomenon Possible cause
"DISC FULL" appears even though
recordable time as printed on the MD
remains.
"DISC FULL" appears even though
the track numbers and recordable
time have not reached the limit.
You cannot join tracks or groups.
The remaining recordable time does
not increase even after you have
erased some tracks.
Sound drops out intermittently during
fast forward or fast reverse.
Recorded time plus remaining time is
shorter than the total recordable time
printed on the MD.
Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)
Regardless of remaining recordable time, MDs have a limit on the number of
recordable tracks. You cannot record 255 or more tracks to an MD. (You can
record up to 254 tracks to an MD.)
Repeated partial erasure and recording creates many blanks on an MD.
When you record a track to such an MD, the track is split up and a small portion
of the track is recorded into each blank.
When the number of such split portions increases, "DISC FULL" may appear.
When a split portion is 8 or less seconds (in SP mode (the standard stereo
recording mode)), you cannot join the track with another track.
In addition, when you erase such portions, remaining recordable time does not
increase.
With a track split into many portions, fast forward or fast reverse may produce
intermittent sound dropouts.
You cannot join tracks that have different MDLP modes (SP/LP2/LP4).
MD recording is possible only when there is a blank of consecutive 12 or more
seconds (in SP mode) on the MD. Actual recording time is shortened on an MD
that contains many blanks.
The Serial Copy Management System protects copyright and allows only first-generation digital copies from
the digitally recordable source.
CAUTION
• The SCMS does not permit you to record sound from a digitally recorded MD to other media as digital sound.
High Speed Copy Management System (HCMS)
You can record sound to an MD at a higher speed than normal recording. Therefore, restrictions are
required in order to protect copyright.
When you use this product to record a track of a CD with the high speed recording function, this
product does not then permit you to use the high speed recording function to record the same track of
the CD to an MD within 74 minutes of the start of the first recording.
For instance, when you record the track 1 of a CD to an MD with the high speed recording function,
you cannot record the track 1 again to an MD with the high speed recording function for 74 minutes
after the first high speed recording started. In addition, you cannot record 101 or more tracks within 74
minutes with the high speed recording function.

Handling Discs/MDs
Handling discs
• Do not put adhesive tape or stickers, or write on
a disc.
• Do not bend a disc.
• Be sure not to use heart/flower shaped discs or
other irregularly shaped discs. The use of such
discs damages the main unit.
Cleaning discs
Signal surface
Wipe a disc from the
center outward with a
soft cloth.
• Be sure not to use thinners, benzenes, cleaners
for analog records, or other chemical agents.
Scratches concentrated
on a certain part cause
sound dropout.
Handling MDs
• Do not open the shutter. Forcibly opening
the shutter will break
the MD.
Cleaning the main unit cabinet
• Gently dust the cabinet surface with a soft dry
cloth. When the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the
cloth with a neutral detergent diluted with water,
wring out the cloth well, and then wipe the cabinet with the dampened cloth followed by a soft
dry cloth.
• Do not wipe the cabinet with thinners or benzenes. Wiping it with these agents may cause
discoloration of the cabinet or removal of the
paint. Do not spray insecticides or other highly
volatile agents onto the cabinet. Do not leave
pieces of rubber or plastic on the cabinet for a
long period.
Preventing the loss of important
recorded sound
• A write protect knob is attached to an MD for
preventing accidental erasure of recorded
sound.
Write protect knob
Close the write
protect knob before
recording or editing.
NOTE
• Do not put labels such as those indicating CD/track
titles or other notes on any part of an MD other than
the specified position. If you insert an MD with a
label extending beyond the specified area, a label
that is peeling off, or any other improperly attached
label, it may damage the main unit.
Open the write
protect knob to avoid
erasing sound.

FAQ
Introduction
■ About Disc
Q: Can I play DVD videos or video CDs I
purchased in foreign countries?
A: If the region number (local number) includes
"ALL" or "1", and the video format is NTSC,
you can play DVD videos. About video CDs,
if the video format is NTSC, you can do it.
Check the cover of your disc.
Q: Is it possible to play a DVD video without a
region number (local number)?
A: Discs with region numbers (local numbers)
show that they meet standard requirements.
DVD videos that do not meet standard
requirements cannot be played.
■ About Sound
Q: Can I play discs with "Dolby Digital EX"
printed?
A: You can, as Dolby Digital EX is compatible
with Dolby Digital.
However, if you wish to obtain the original
effect, you need to connect the unit to a compatible amplifier or a receiver with a built-in
surround decoder or decoder, by using the
unit's digital output terminal. To do this, set
[Digital OUT] to "Stream/PCM" in the sound
setting screen of the unit.
Q: Can I play discs with "DTS ES" printed?
A: Yes you can.
However, if you wish to obtain the original
effect, you need to connect the unit to a DTS
ES enabled amplifier or a receiver with a
built-in surround decoder or decoder, by
using the unit's DVD digital output terminal.
To do this, set [Digital OUT] to "Stream/PCM"
in the sound setting screen of the unit.
Q: What sort of disc has "THX" printed on it?
Can I play that disc on this unit?
A: Yes you can.
"THX" is a name of an original division and
standard for high quality recording of pictures/sounds or playback established by
Lucasfilm Ltd in the U.S. It designates the
discs and equipment that meet that standard,
but it does not designate a recording format
type.
Q: When both MP3/WMA format and audio CD
format are recorded on a single CD, can I
play both of them?
A: In that case, because the tracks have been
recorded with data CD format, the tracks on
the audio CD cannot be played back. You
can play back only the MP3/WMA format
tracks.
Q: Dolby digital discs sometimes contain two
types of surround sounds; 5.1-channel
surround and Dolby surround. What is the
difference?
A: Both are surround sound standards devel-
oped by Dolby Institute in the U.S. Dolby surround is created by recording the surround
components (2ch) on top of the regular analog stereo sounds (left/right), and then separates and plays back the sounds using Dolby
surround and Dolby Pro Logic decoder.
With Dolby digital (5.1ch-surround), a maximum 6-channel system in total, which
includes the front left, the front right, the center, the rear left, the rear right, and LFE (Low
Frequency effect: for lower sound signals
such as sub-woofers) can be digitalized,
compressed and independently recorded
before they are played back using Dolby Digital decoder.
Although it depends on how the sounds are
recorded, generally speaking, Dolby digital
produces better a sound field effect.
■ About Picture
Q: I can see small mosaic-like patterns on the
screen of DVD videos or video CDs. Does
this mean there is something wrong with the
unit?
A: This is something unique to digitally recorded
moving pictures (block noise) and that does
not mean there is something wrong with the
unit.
■ Others
Q: Some discs do not respond to the operations
explained in this Users Manual.
A: Some discs may not respond to the opera-
tions on this unit, because of reasons such
as the contents creators' intentions or structural limitations.
Q: Can I record DVD video contents onto a
videotape?
A: Since most DVD contents are copy pro-
tected, you cannot record the contents to a
videotape.
Q: Can I record with this unit?
A: No you cannot.

Glossary
B.S.P.
Static pictures from DVD audios may include not only
the pictures displayed automatically together with the
audio playback, but also the pictures that can be
optionally selected by users. These pictures are
called B.S.P (Browsable Still Picture).
Component
This is one of the video signals and refers to the
signal of the three primary colors of light (R/G/B) and
the other picture signal (color difference signal: Y /CB/
CR) that has been efficiently converted based on R/
G/B. Since each signal is transmitted via a separate
signal line, it makes it possible to transmit high quality
pictures.
Dolby Digital
This is one of the surround modes. It is capable of
dealing with up to 5.1 channel in total, which includes
front 3-channel, surround 2-channel, and sub-woofer
0.1-channel.
Dolby Surround
This is one of the surround modes. It records the total
4-channel sound signals of front surround into 2channel signals and then converts them back to 4channel signals via a special decoder when they are
played back. Since the sounds are recorded with 2channel, you can produce natural sounds even if you
connect it to stereo equipment.
Down Mix
This refers to the function that allows you to play back
the multi-channel sound tracks recorded with a
surround mode (3 or greater channels), mixing with
stereo 2-channel sounds.
D-Range Control
This function allows you to understand relatively low
sounds such as dialog clearly, even if you turn down
the volume of the TV in a loud volume scene, when
playing a DVD video recorded with Dolby Digital.
DTS (Digital Theater System)
This is one of the surround modes that offer a
maximum 5.1ch (same as Dolby Digital). Since this
format uses low sound compression rate, thicker
sounds with less noise can be produced.
Dynamic Range
This refers to the difference between the largest point
and the smallest point of the sound level.
Interlace Scanning (Jump Scanning)
This is a traditional video format, mainly used by TV.
JPEG (Joint Photographic coding Experts Group)
This is a static picture information compression
format this is used widely for Internet and digital
cameras.
Linear PCM Sound
This is one of the methods that convert analog sound
signals into digital sound signals. It does not require
compression at all at the time of conversion.
MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing)
This is a name of the multi-channel sound
compression format employed by DVD audios. The
compression ratio is about 1/2, and the compressed
data can be completely restored because a reversible
data compression method is available. It allows you to
play back high quality sounds.
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3)
This is the international standard for sound
information compression format that allows you to
compress data to one tenth its original size, without
greatly impairing the original sound quality.
MPEG Audio
This is a surround format that allows you to compress
sound data. It is capable of handling a maximum 7.1
channels.
NTSC
This is the TV/video format used in countries such as
Japan and the U.S. In European countries, other
formats (PAL or SECAM) are used. Since the number
of frames and the number of scanning lines are
different, the two formats are incompatible with each
other.
Packet write method
This is one of the methods used to record data onto
CD-R/RW that allows you to further divide tracks
before recording, depending on the free space
available on the disc. This unit is unable to play back
the sounds on CD-R/RW discs that have been
recorded using this method.
PBC (Playback Control)
This is the signal recorded with Video CDs (Version2)
to control the playback operation. You can use the
menu screen of recorded PBC enabled video CDs to
run interactive software and software with searching
capabilities. Furthermore, with video CDs on which
high definition still pictures are recorded, it allows you
to playback the still picture using resolution more than
four times larger than that for playing moving pictures.
Progressive scanning method (sequential
scanning)
This is the scanning method, used with DVD videos
and others, that enables you to display high quality
pictures without the flickering that normally
accompanies pictures produced using the interlacing
scanning method.
Region Number (Managing areas where tracks
can be played)
This refers to the system in which tracks on a disc can
be played only in the specified areas. You cannot play
tracks on a disc if the region number on the disc and
the region number on the DVD player do not
correspond.
Resume Playback
It refers to resuming playback from the point where
you have paused.
Screen Saver
Displaying a still picture on a TV screen for a long
time may sometimes cause screen burning, leaving a
burned-in image of the still picture. The screen saver
function prevents it from occurring.
VFP (Video Fine Processor) function
This is our original function that enables fine-tuning
(adjustment) of pictures. It allows you to adjust items
such as gamma correction to select brightness,
contrast, and intermediate brightness of the pictures,
depending on the preferences you make for your
software or room conditions. It even enables you to
display smooth pictures with deep tones, thus
producing a level of picture quality in movie films that
has been difficult to achieve so far.
WMA (Acronyms for Windows MediaR Audio)
This is the sound compression format developed by
Microsoft Corporation in the U.S.
