Disc structure
(For DVD AUDIO)
A DVD AUDIO disc is comprised of “groups, and each group is comprised of “tracks. Some DVD AUDIO discs also contain a bonus group” that can be played back by entering the key number (a kind of password). Usually the contents of a bonus group are not opened to the public. Note that most DVD AUDIO discs include other information in addition to audio, such as still pictures, movies and text.
Group 1 Group 2
Track 1
(For DVD VIDEO)
A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of “titles” and each title may be divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO KARAOKE disc, each song usually has its own title number and does not have chapters.

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.
High-resolution still image display
You can display high-quality images four times clearer than moving pictures.
Menu-driven playback
A selection menu is displayed when you start playing an SVCD and 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. You can interact with the screen using a menu display to select and play an entry. See example illustration below about basic feature of menu-driven playback (for details about PBC, see also page 30).
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.
CAUTION
Sometimes during play images may be garbled or noisy. This is sometimes due to the disc.

The unit supports the Progressive scanning system as well as the conventional Interlaced scanning system. If your television or monitor equipped with component jacks support the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by making the Progressive scanning mode active.
NOTES
When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is lit. The color of the indicator differs depending on the PROGRESSIVE MODE setting on the “PICTURE” preference display and the status of the unit (see pages 8 and 63).
When connecting to a TV using the VIDEO or S-VIDEO jack, make sure that the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is not lit. If it is lit, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed the correct signals. To turn off the PROGRESSIVE indicator, make the Progressive scanning mode inactive by following the procedure described on page 8.
When the component video input jacks on the TV is of the BNC type, use an adapter to convert a pin jack to a BNC jack (optional).
Set ANALOG OUT” in the “AU DI O” preference display to “2-CH STEREO” (see page 65).
If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo audio
output to monaural.
To improve audio sound quality, connect the AUDIO OUT jacks to your separate audio equipment (see pages 9, 10).
If your TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV COMPU LINK function. See “AV COMPU LINK remote control system on page 75 for details.

About SCANNING MODE
To display video on the television (monitor) screen, the conventional scanning method is called Interlaced scanning. With this method, only half of the horizontal lines are displayed at a time. So two fields complete a single picture (frame); i.e., the first field, containing all the odd-numbered lines, is displayed followed by the second field, containing all the even-numbered lines. On the other hand, the Progressive scanning system scans all horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the number of pictures compared with the interlaced scanning, resulting in flicker-free, high-density picture.
To enjoy the progressive scanned video, a monitor (or TV or projector) to be connected to the unit must have the Progressive inputs. Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO discs can be classified into two types; film source and video source (note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source). Film sources are recorded as 24­frame-per-second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-per-second interlaced) information. When the unit plays back a film source material, uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using the original information. When a video source material is played back, the unit interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.
