Audio CD/Video CD is limited to two channels,
44.1 kHz at 16 bits.
• Dolby Digital
A surround audio format configured with six
channels. Because the “LFE (Low-Frequency Effect for
sub-woofer, etc.)” channel, one of the six channels, is
an auxiliary channel, this format is called “5.1-channel
system.”
Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channel
information.
• DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
A surround audio format configured with six (5.1)
channels, which is the same as Dolby Digital. Because
the compression ratio is lower than Dolby Digital, it
3

provides wider dynamic range and better separation.
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channel
information.
• MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing)
A format for DVD AUDIO with the compression ratio
of about 2:1 while allowing the PCM signal to be
completely recreated by the MLP decoder (required in
all DVD AUDIO players). It supports up to 192kHz/24bit.
Non-playable disc types are as follows:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, CD-ROM,
PHOTO CD, CD-EXTRA, CD-G, CD-TEXT, SACD,
MIX-MODE CD
• Playing back discs listed as “Non-playable discs”
above may generate noise and damage speakers.
• This unit can play back audio signals recorded in CD-G,

Introduction
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 1Group 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.

Care and handling of discs
How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the
disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily
damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped,
the images and sound will not be picked up correctly,
and such a disc may cause the player to malfunction.

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.

Press and hold down VFP - PROGRESSIVE SCAN for a few seconds.
The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning and Interlaced scanning modes.
• When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is lit.
Depending on the “PROGRESSIVE MODE” setting on the “PICTURE” preference display and whether the current
DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or video-source, the color of the indicator differs, as shown in the table below
(see also pages 7 and 63).

To memorize the interrupted position
Basic operations
¶ During playback
When the resume mode is set to “DISC RESUME”
Press 7
The unit stops playback and memorizes the interrupted position. After pressing 7 , the display window on the front
panel shows “----RESUME” (DVD AUDIO/DVD VIDEO) or “--RESUME” (SVCD/Video CD).
In this condition, a memory of the interrupted position is not cleared if you press 0 OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc
tray carousel, or press DVD STANDBY/ON on the remote control unit or STANDBY/ON on the front panel to
turn off the unit.
• If you do not want the disc played to resume playback, press 7 while stopped.
• It memorizes positions interruputed for the last 30 discs.
• If you interrupt playback of a disc which you resumed playback, the memory is updated to store the new interrupted position.
• When the unit has already memorized positions for 30 discs, memorizing one more position for a disc automatically erases the
oldest memory. On the other hand, if you interrupt playback of a disc which an interrupted position is already memorized, the order
of memorized discs may change. In result, when memorizing a new data, the order of memorized discs to be erased also may
change.

• 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 you interrupt playback last time.
• The unit may not resume playback exactly from the interrupted point, depending on the point.
• For a double-sided DVD AUDIO/DVD VIDEO disc, the unit regards each side as a different disc. Therefore, when resuming
playback of such a disc, make sure to set the disc with the resumed side down.
• When the unit memorizes the interrupted point of a disc, it also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings (regardless of
whether “RESUME” is set to “DISC RESUME” or “ON”).
• If you interrupt playback while the menu for a DVD AUDIO, DVD VIDEO, SVCD or Video CD is shown on the TV screen, the unit
may not memorize the interrupted position correctly, regardless of whether the “RESUME” mode is set to “ON” or “DISC
RESUME.”
