About discs
Playable disc types
Playable and non-playable disc types are as follows:
Playable discs ———————————————
DVD VIDEO Video CD Audio CD
The DVD Logo is a trademark.
Non-playable discs——————————————
• DVD-ROM • DVD-RAM • DVD-R • DVD-RW
• CD-R • CD-ROM • PHOTO CD • CD-RW
• Playing back discs list as “Non-playable discs” above may
generate noise and damage speakers.
Notes on DVD VIDEO discs
• DVD players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own Region Code
numbers. This unit only can play back DVD discs whose Region
Code numbers include “2”.
Examples of playable DVD discs:
Disc structure
A DVD disc is comprised of “titles”, while an Audio CD or Video
CD is comprised of “tracks”. Each title may be divided into some
“chapters”. For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each
movie, each movie may have its own title number, and each movie
may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD karaoke disc, each
song usually has its own title number and does not have chapters. In
general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the
same title has continuity.
Example: DVD disc
Example: Audio CD/Video CD
• This unit accommodates discs for the PAL system.
Video CDs with Playback Control function
What is Playback Control function? ———————————————————————————————
The Playback Control function, allows you to enjoy menu-driven operation and high-resolution still images which have a resolution four
times greater than moving pictures.
• Menu-driven playback
You can interact with the screen using a menu display to select and play an entry.
• High-resolution still image display
You can display high-quality images four times clearer than moving pictures.
A selection menu is displayed when you
start playing a Video CD disc with the
Playback Control feature. The selection
menu shows a list of numbers for selection.
Some discs may show moving pictures or a
divided screen.
1. When a list of numbers is displayed,
selecting a number shows its contents.
2. When “3” or “SELECT” is displayed on
the television screen, pressing this button
jumps to the specific picture.
3. When the selection menu is redisplayed after you have played your selection, selecting a number again replays its contents.
(Some discs may show the menu screen several times.)
When ¢ and 4 are shown, pressing “NEXT” or “PREV” can change the selection menu.
4. After playback, press RETURN to go back to the previous screen.
To stop playback, press STOP.
Note:
• When a menu is displayed for a long time (about ten minutes), the screen background automatically fades out to prevent screen burn-in
while the setting is suspended.

However, remember that the video signals from the composite video
input terminals are output only through the composite video out
terminals, while the ones from the S-video input terminals are
output only through the S-video output terminals.
Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video
component are connected to the center unit through the different
video terminals, you cannot record the picture from the playing
component on the recording component. In addition, if the TV and a
playing video component are connected to the center unit through
the different video terminals, you cannot view the playback picture
from the playing component on the TV.
VCR
Notes:
• When the DSP mode is ON, the VCR OUT (REC) jack and the
TAPE/MD OUT (REC) jack will output surround sound to the
front speakers only.
When recording, turn the DSP mode OFF (see page 21).
• You can connect either a cassette deck or a MD recorder to the
TAPE/MD jacks. When connecting a MD recorder to the TAPE/
MD jacks, change the source name, which will be shown on the
display when selected as the source, to “MD”. See page 17 for
details.
If your audio components have a COMPU LINK-3 terminal
• See also page 54 for detailed information about the connection
and the COMPU LINK-3 remote control system.

TV sound
Note:
• When connecting the DBS tuner to the TV SOUND/DBS jacks, change the source name, which will be shown on the display when
selected as the source, to “DBS”. See page 17 for details.
DBS tuner
Digital connections —————————————————————————————————————
The center unit has three digital input terminals (one digital coaxial terminal and two digital optical terminals) and one digital output terminal
(a single digital optical terminal).
• The DVD and audio signals from the center unit, and the digital signals input from the digital input terminals, are output from the digital
output terminal.
IMPORTANT
• When connecting the DBS tuner using the digital terminal, you also need to connect it to the video jack (either composite video terminal
or S-video terminal) on the rear. Without connecting it to the video jack, you can view no playback picture.
• After connecting the components using the DIGITAL IN terminal, set the following correctly if necessary.
- Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see “Selecting the analog or digital input mode” on page 18.
Notes:
• When you want to operate the MD
recorder using the COMPU LINK remote
control system, connect the MD recorder
also as described in “Analog
connections” (see pages 8).
• When an MD record or other digital
sound recording device is connected to
the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL terminal,
you will be unable to record signals in
Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Sound.
• The DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL jack does
not output DSP mode sound effects.
Do not change DSP mode during digital
recording.
