About discs

COMPACT

DIGITAL AUDIO

Playable disc types

This system has been designed to play back the following types of discs:

DVD Video (DVD), Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD (SVCD), Audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW

• This system can also play back MP3 and JPEG files recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs. For in-depth information about MP3, see “MP3 disc playback” on page 50, and for JPEG, see “JPEG disc playback” on page 52.

• Finalized DVD-R discs recorded with the DVD VIDEO format can be played back. However, some discs may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording conditions.

Discs you can play:

Disc Mark Video Region Code Type (Logo) Format Number*

DVD Video

(DVD) ALL

Video CD

(VCD)

PAL

PAL ——

• On some DVD, VCD, or SVCD discs, the actual operations may be different from what is explained in this manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure, and this is not a malfunction of this system.

• Notes on CD-R and CD-RW

– User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs

(Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized.”

– The system can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on

a personal computer if they have been recorded in the Audio CD format. The system can also play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3 tracks (files) or JPEG files are recorded on them. Note that the configuration and characteristics of an MP3 disc or a JPEG disc is determined by the writing (encoding) software and hardware used for recording. Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the following symptoms may occur:

• Some discs may not be played back at all.

• Some tracks (files) on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not be played back normally.

• Some files on a JPEG disc may be distorted during playback.

– Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their

instructions or cautions carefully.

– CD-RWs may require a longer read-out time. This is

caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.

* Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers. This system can play back only DVDs recorded in the PAL color system whose Region Code numbers include “2.”

Ex.:

If a DVD with the improper Region Code numbers is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR” appears on the display and playback cannot start.

7 About MP3 discs

This system can play MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW. We call such a disc “MP3 disc” in this manual. MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CDRW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can. This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and calls files and folders as “tracks” and “groups.”

7 About JPEG discs

This system can play JPEG files such as digital photographs recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW. We call such a disc “JPEG disc” in this manual. JPEG is a still-picture data compression system proposed by Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio. This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and calls folders as “groups.”

• The following disc types cannot be played back: DVD Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc. Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers.

About discs

Disc structure

A DVD disc consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and it may be further divided into chapters.

A VCD, SVCD, and Audio CD consist of “tracks.” In general, each track has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be divided with Indexes.)

On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a track (file). Tracks are usually grouped into a group (folder). Groups can also include other groups, creating hierarchical group layers. This system can recognize up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 tracks).

• If there is any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total number of 150.

Playback Control function (PBC) —Only for VCD and SVCD

The Playback Control function allows you to enjoy menudriven operation and high-resolution still images with a resolution four times greater than moving pictures.

• High-resolution still image display

You can display high-quality images which are four times clearer than moving pictures.

• Menu-driven playback

A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a VCD or SVCD disc with the Playback Control function. The selection menu shows a list of numbers to pick from. Some discs may show moving pictures or a divided screen. You can interact with the screen using a menu display to select and play an entry. The illustration below shows the basic features of menu driven playback. See page 39 for details about using the menu.

On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file. Files are usually grouped into a group (folder). Groups can also include another groups, creating hierarchical folder layers. This system can recognize up to 150 files per group, and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 files).

• If there is any type of files other than JPEG files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total number of 150.

NOTE:

While operating a VCD or SVCD using the menu, some of the functions, such as repeat play, may not work.

IMPORTANT:

Before playing a disc, make sure of the following....

• Check the connection with the TV.

• Turn on the TV and select the correct input mode on the TV to view the pictures or on-screen information on the TV screen.

If appears on the TV screen when pressing a

button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have

tried to do, or information required for that operation is not recorded on the disc. NOTICE: In some cases, without showing , operations will not be accepted.

in the widest sense.

The RDS indicator also lights up on the display when you select above programs.

Program type indicators

Classification of the PTY codes for some FM stations may be different from the above list.

Page 31

How the Enhanced Other Networks function actually works:

CASE 1

If there is no station broadcasting the program you have selected

The system continues tuning in to the current station.

When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected, the system automatically switches to the station. The received PTY code indicator starts flashing.

When the program is over, the system goes back to the previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Networks function still remains activated.

CASE 2

If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the program you have selected

The system continues to receive the station but the received PTY code indicator starts flashing.

When the program is over, the received PTY code indicator stops flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other Networks function still remains activated.

NOTES:

• If you change the source to play, Enhanced Other Networks standby mode is canceled temporarily. If you change the source to FM again, the system returns to Enhanced Other Networks standby mode.

• Enhanced Other Networks data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this system.

• The Enhanced Other Networks function does not work for some FM stations with RDS service.

• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Networks function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced Other Networks data.

• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Networks function, you can only use TA/NEWS/INFO and RDS DISPLAY as the tuner operation buttons.

To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced Other Networks.

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the program type (TA/NEWS/INFO) indicator goes off from the display. The system exits from Enhanced Other Networks standby mode and goes back to the previously selected station.

When an emergency broadcast (Alarm ! signal) is sent from an FM station.

The system automatically tunes in to the station except in the following cases:

• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM—MW stations, some FM stations and other sources).

• When the system is in standby mode.

While receiving an emergency broadcast, “Alarm !” appears on the display.

The TEST signal is used for equipment test—whether it can receive the Alarm ! signal correctly.

The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as the Alarm ! signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the system automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal. While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the display.

Setting the speaker distance

—FRNT D (front speaker distance),

CNTR D (center speaker distance), SURR D (surround speaker distance), BACK D (surround back speaker distance)

The distance from your listening point to the speakers is another important element to obtain the best possible sound from the Surround and DSP modes. You need to set the distance from your listening point to the speakers. By referring to the speaker distance setting, this system automatically sets the delay time of the sound through each speaker so that sounds through all the speakers can reach you at the same time.

Set the distance from the listening point to each speaker with the range of 0.3 m to 9.0 m (in 0.3 m intervals).

NOTE:

If you have selected “NO” for “BACK SP” (see page 28), you cannot set the speaker distance for the surround back speaker.

Setting the crossover frequency—CROSS

Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you use a small speaker in any position, this system automatically reallocates the bass sound elements assigned to the small speaker to the large speakers. To use this function properly, set the crossover frequency level according to the size of the small speaker connected.

• If you have selected “LARGE” for all speakers, this function does not take effect and you cannot change the frequency.

Select one of the following settings:

80Hz :Select when the cone speaker unit built in the

speaker is about 12 cm.

100Hz :Select when the cone speaker unit built in the

speaker is about 10 cm.

120Hz :Select when the cone speaker unit built in the

speaker is about 8 cm.

150Hz :Select when the cone speaker unit built in the

speaker is about 6 cm.

200Hz :Select when the cone speaker unit built in the

speaker is less than 5 cm.

CAUTION:

When using the supplied speakers, select “200Hz.”

NOTE:

Crossover frequency is not valid for the HEADPHONE mode.

Ex.: In the above case, set the speaker distance as

follows:

FRNT D : 3.0 m CNTR D : 3.0 m SURR D : 2.7 m BACK D : 2.4 m

Setting the phase of subwoofer

—PHASE

Subwoofer phase is closely related with the distance from the listening position to the front speakers and subwoofer. You can change the phase to obtain better bass sound.

Select one of the following settings:

NORMAL :Normally select this.

REVERS :Select when you feel the bass sound is better

with this mode rather than with “NORMAL.”

This system activates a variety of Surround modes and DSP (Digital Signal Processor) modes. To use Surround or DSP modes properly, speakers required for creating each Surround and DSP mode should be activated.

Surround modes

7 Reproducing theater ambience

In a movie theater, many speakers are located on the walls to reproduce impressive multi-surround sounds, reaching you from all directions. With these many speakers, sound localization and sound movement can be expressed. Surround modes built in this system can create almost the same surround sounds as you can feel in a real movie theater.

7 Introducing the Surround modes

Dolby Surround

Dolby Digital EX*

Best used to reproduce multi-channel movie soundtracks of the software encoded with Dolby Digital EX ( Dolby Digital EX is a newly introduced surround encoding format as an extension of multi-channel Dolby Digital, designed to add an extra surround channel to Dolby Digital

5.1-channel (see below). By using a matrix encoding/ decoding method, additional “surround back” channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround channel signals. Compared to the conventional Dolby Digital 5.1-channel, this newly added surround back channel can reproduce more detailed movements behind you while viewing the video software. In addition, surround sound localization will become more stable, so that you can enjoy a realistic surround field in your listening room.

• When Dolby Digital EX is activated, the

DIGITAL EX and

SURROUND indicators light up on the display.

Dolby Digital*

Used to reproduce multi-channel soundtracks of the software encoded with Dolby Digital (

Dolby Digital 5.1-channel encoding method (so-called discrete 5.1-channel digital audio format) records and digitally compresses the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left surround channel, right surround channel, and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels, but LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel, therefore, called 5.1channel). Since each channel is completely independent from the other channel signals to avoid interference, you can obtain a much better sound quality with better stereo and surround effects.

• When Dolby Digital is activated, the

DIGITAL and

SURROUND indicators light up on the display.

* Dolby Digital software can be roughly grouped into two

categories—multi-channel (up to 5.1-channel) and 2-channel software. To enjoy surround sound while playing Dolby Digital 2-channel software, you can use Dolby Pro Logic II.

NOTE: MPEG Multichannel

MPEG Multichannel signals are converted into Linear PCM signals, then reproduced.

DOLBY SURROUND

Creating realistic sound fields

Dolby Pro Logic II*

Dolby Pro Logic II has a newly developed multi-channel playback format to convert all 2-channel source including Dolby Surround into 5-channel (plus subwoofer) reproduction. Matrix-based conversion method for Dolby Pro Logic II makes no limitation for the cutoff frequency of the surround treble and enables stereo surround sound unavailable with conventional Dolby Pro Logic. Dolby Pro Logic II can reproduce spacious sound from original sound without adding any new sounds and tonal colorations. Dolby Pro Logic II has two modes—Movie mode and Music

mode.

Pro Logic II Movie (PL II MOVIE)—suitable for the

reproduction of Dolby Surround encoded software bearing the mark (

). You can enjoy a sound field very close to the one created with discrete 5.1-channel sounds. Pro Logic II Music (PL II MUSIC)—suitable for the reproduction of any 2-channel stereo software. You can enjoy wide and deep sound by using this mode.

• When Dolby Pro Logic II is activated, the

PRO LOGIC II

and SURROUND indicators light up on the display.

Dolby Pro Logic (Dolby Surround)*

Used to reproduce soundtracks of the software encoded with Dolby Surround (

). Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, and surround channel signal (total 4 channels) into 2 channels. The Dolby Pro Logic decoder built in this system decodes these 2-channel signals into original 4-channel signals— matrix-based multi-channel reproduction, and allows you to enjoy a realistic surround sound in your listening room.

• When Dolby Pro Logic is activated, the

PRO LOGIC

and SURROUND indicators light up on the display.

DTS Surround

DTS-ES (Extended Surround)**

Used to reproduce multi-channel movie soundtracks of the software encoded with DTS-ES ( DTS-ES is another new digital surround encoding format, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., that adds the third surround channel—surround back channel. (See “Dolby Digital EX” on page 31) DTS ES has two types—DTS-ES Discrete 6.1-channel and

DTS-ES Matrix 6.1-channel.

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1-channel—has been designed to

encode (and decode) 6.1-channel signal discretely to avoid interference between each channel. DTS-ES Matrix 6.1-channel—has been designed to add an extra surround channel to DTS Digital Surround 5.1-channel. By using a matrix encoding/decoding method, additional “surround back” channel signal is encoded (and decoded) in both the left and right surround channel signals.

• When DTS-ES is activated, the indicators light up on the display.

DTS Digital Surround**

Used to reproduce multi-channel soundtracks of the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround ( DTS Digital Surround is a discrete 5.1-channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software. Compared to Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround format has a lower audio compression ratio which enables it to add breadth and depth to the sounds reproduced. As such, DTS Digital Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.

• When DTS Digital Surround is activated, the SURROUND indicators light up on the display.

NEO:6**

Neo:6 is a newly developed conversion method to create 6-channel (plus subwoofer) from analog/digital 2-channel source and DTS Digital Surround source. Neo:6 has two modes—Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6 Music:

Neo:6 Cinema—suitable for reproduction of surround encoded software. Neo:6 Music—suitable for reproduction of music software.

• When NEO:6 is activated, the SURROUND indicator lights up on the display.

• DTS Digital Surround can be converted into 6.1-channel using NEO:6 (see page 28).

DSP modes

DAP (Digital Acoustic Processor) modes

The sound heard in a concert hall, club, etc. consists of direct sound and indirect sound—early reflections and reflections from behind. Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection. On the other hand, indirect sounds are delayed by the distances of the ceiling and walls (see the diagram below). These direct and indirect sounds are the most important elements of the acoustic surround effects. The DAP mode can reproduce a realistic sound field by adding these indirect sounds.

• When one of the DAP modes is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

All Channel Stereo

All Channel Stereo (ALL CH ST.) can reproduce a larger stereo sound field using all the connected (and activated) speakers. All Channel Stereo can be used when the front and surround speakers are connected to the center unit.

• When All Channel Stereo is selected, the DSP indicator lights up on the display.

Conventional stereo

Direct sounds

You can use the following DAP modes in order to reproduce a more acoustic sound field in your listening room.

THEATER :Reproduces the sound field of a theater .

If “ ” appears on the TV screen when pressing a button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do.

7 NOTES for MP3 disc

• MP3 discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer readout time. (The time differs depending on the complexity of the group (folder)/track (file) configuration.)

• When making an MP3 disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 as the disc format.

• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 5 sessions).

• This system can not play “packet write” discs.

• This system can play MP3 files only with the following file extensions: “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mP3,” and “.mp3.”

• ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display.

* An MP3 file can contain file information called “ID3 Tag” where

its album name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded. There are two versions—ID3v1 (ID3 Tag version 1) and ID3v2 (ID3 Tag version 2).

• It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This system cannot play back files recorded at the rate of under 64 kbps.

• If both MP3 files and JPEG files are recorded on a disc, set the MP3/JPEG setting on the PICTURE menu to “MP3.” (See page 57.)

Glossary

Aspect ratio

The ratio of vertical and horizontal sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, and that of wide-screen TVs is 16:9.

Chapter

See “Titles and chapters.”

Composite video signal

Refers to video signal comprised of three kinds of signals combined: an image signal made up of luminance and chrominance signals using the frequency multiplication technique; burst signal providing the basis for color reproduction; and synchronization signal.

Disc menu

A screen display prepared for allowing selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multiangles, etc. recorded on a DVD.

JPEG

A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features little deterioration in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.

Multi-language

DVD can have multiple subtitle (up to 32) and audio (up to 8) languages.

Parental lock

A feature of this system to automatically determine whether or not to reproduce particular DVD software by comparing its parental level (a measure of undesirability of scenes, etc. from educational viewpoint) set for the software beforehand with that set on this system by the user; if the software’s level is less restrictive than the user-set level, it will be reproduced.

Playback control (PBC)

Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for controlling reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well as software having a search function.

Region code

A system for allowing discs to be played back only in the regions designated beforehand. All the countries in the world are divided into six regions, each region being identified by a specified region code (or region number). If the region code given to a disc includes a numeral which matches one in the region code of a player, the player can play back the disc.

Letter box

A method of displaying wide images like movies on a 4:3 TV screen with no part of the image deleted, by placing black bands on the top and bottom of the screen. This name has derived from the screen form looking literally like a letter box.

Linear PCM (PCM: Pulse Code Modulation)

A system for converting analog sound signal to digital signal for later processing, with no data compression used in conversion.

MP3

A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

Multi-angle

By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in a single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is called the multi angle function.

Sampling frequency

Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted to digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how many times the original analog signal is sampled per second.

Surround

A system for creating three-dimensional sound fields full of realism by arranging multiple speakers around the listener.

S-video signal

Video signal separated into a Y (luminance) signal and a C (chrominance) signal. This separation of the video results higher resolution and better quality.

Titles and chapters

A DVD is divided into several titles (large divisions), and each title is divided into chapters (small divisions). These divisions are assigned their particular numbers, so that they are easily accessed.

Multi-channel

Software having 3 or more channels. Most DVD have more than 5 audio channels. Reproducing such software using multiple speakers creates a realistic sound field like a theater.

Transfer rate

The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in baud per second. The DVD system applies a variable transfer rate system for high efficiency.
