Non-playable discs

Audio formats

There are some audio formats recorded on discs as
shown below.

•Linear PCM

Uncompressed digital audio, the same format used on
CDs and most studio masters.
DVD AUDIO supports up to six channels at sample
rates of 48/96/192 kHz (also 44.1/88.2/176.4 kHz) and
sample sizes of 16/20/24 bits.
DVD VIDEO supports two channels at sampling rates
of 48/96 kHz and quantization of 16/20/24 bits.
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
6

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,
CD-EXTRA, CD-TEXT and MIX-MODE CD discs.

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 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.

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.

Video CDs and SVCDs with Playback
Control function

What is Playback Control (PBC) 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.

• 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.

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.

MP3 disc playback

The unit can play back MP3 files on a private CD-R/RW
disc or commercial CD. We refer to a disc that contains
MP3 file as an “MP3 disc” in this manual.
Though available functions with MP3 discs are limited,
operations for the available functions are similar to those
with Audio CD discs.
Note that, if a disc contains both of MP3 and JPEG files,
you can only play back files of either type selected by the
MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display
(see page 64).

What is MP3?

“MP3” stands for “MPEG Audio Layer-3,” and is the
part of the MPEG standard. It can store high quality
stereo audio using very little space by only saving the
audible sounds and discarding the sounds your ears
won’t pick up. A CD can store up to around 10 hours of
MP3 audio, which is 10 times as much as Audio CD.

NOTE

Make sure that the TV - DVD switch on

TV DVD

the remote control unit is set to “DVD”
when using the 5/∞/2/3 and numeric
buttons for controlling the unit.

NOTES

• Some discs may not be played back because of the disc
characteristics or recording condition.

• Some tracks on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not
be played back normally because of the disc
configuration or characteristics determined by the
writing (encoding) software and hardware used for
recording. Such symptoms may occur regardless of
whether using a disc you recorded or using a
commercially available disc.

• The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.

• The unit does not support the ID3 tag.

• If the disc is recorded with multiple sessions, the unit

supports up to five sessions.

• You cannot play back Tracks in the desired
(programmed) or random order.

• The unit only can play back Tracks with any of the
following file extensions; “.MP3”, “.Mp3”, “.mp3” and

“.mP3”.

• Time required for reading the disc contents differs with

discs, depending on the numbers of Groups (folders)
and Tracks (files) recorded, etc.

• While an MP3 disc is loaded, you cannot bring up any
preference display (see pages 60 and 61).

About MP3 disc

On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on a
file. Files are sometimes grouped into a folder by artist,
album, category, etc. In addition, a folder can be a
member of another folder, creating hierarchical folder
layers. If you are familiar with a personal computer, you
may easily understand the hierarchical file/folder
construction of MP3 discs.
This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc
and manages files and folders by “Tra cks ” and “Groups”
in the following manners.

• Each file is regarded as a Track.

• A folder which has one or more files (Tracks) is

regarded as a Group.

• A folders’ folder which does not manage any file
directly is ignored.

• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped
into “Group 1.”

• The unit recognizes up to 150 Tracks per Group, and up
to 99 Groups per disc. It ignores those exceeding the
maximum numbers and cannot play back them. If
there is any type of files other than MP3 files in a
folder. Those files are also counted down from the
total number of 150.

Group 1

Track 1

Group 1'

up to 150 Tracks per Group

NOTES for making a private MP3 disc
using a CD-R/CD-RW disc:

• Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.

• Finalize the disc after completing recording.

• We recommend to record a material at 44.1-kHz Fs and

at the 128-kbps data transfer rate.

JPEG disc playback

The unit can play back JPEG files on a private CD-R/RW
disc. We refer to a disc that contains JPEG files as a
“JPEG disc” in this manual.
Note that, if a disc contains both of MP3 and JPEG files,
you can only play back files of either type selected by the
MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display
(See page 64).

What is JPEG?

“JPEG” is an abbreviation for the Joint Photographic
Experts Group and is an image format that utilizes a
compression technique.
There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as
follows.

• baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, web, etc.

• progressive JPEG: used for web

• lossless JPEG: an old type and rarely used now

The unit supports only the baseline JPEG type,
therefore, it cannot display pictures of the other types
(progressive and lossless). If a JPEG disc contains
JPEG files of non-baseline type, the unit recognizes
those files as JPEG files, the JPEG CONTROL display
and the display window shows the information of the
contents (file name, file number, etc.), but you cannot
show the still pictures of those files (the TV screen
appears only in black and “NON PLAYABLE FILE” is
shown in the display window).

NOTE

Make sure that the TV - DVD switch on

TV DVD

the remote control unit is set to “DVD”
when using the 5/∞/2/3, numeric
buttons for controlling the unit.

About JPEG disc

On a JPEG disc, each material (still picture) is recorded on a
file. Files may be grouped into a folder by category, etc. In
addition, a folder can be a member of another folder,
creating hierarchical folder layers. If you are familiar with a
personal computer, you may easily understand the
hierarchical file/folder construction of JPEG discs.
This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc
and manages folders by “Groups” in the following
manners.

• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a
Group.

• A folders’ folder which does not manage any file
directly is ignored.

• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped
into “Group 1.”

• The unit recognizes up to 150 files per Group, and up
to 99 Groups per disc. It ignores those exceeding the
maximum numbers and cannot play back them. If
there is any type of files other than JPEG files in a
folder. Those files are also counted down from the
total number of 150.

NOTES for making a private JPEG disc
using a CD-R/CD-RW disc:

• Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.

• Finalize the disc after completing recording.

• We recommend to record a material at “640 x 480”

resolution.

• The unit supports only the baseline JPEG type,
therefore, it cannot display pictures of the other types
(progressive and lossless). If a JPEG disc contains JPEG
files of non-baseline type, the unit recognizes those
files as JPEG files. the JPEG CONTROL display and the
display window shows the information of the contents
(file name, file number, etc.), but you cannot show the
still pictures of those files (the TV screen appears only
in black).

NOTES

• The unit does not support “packet writing” discs.

• If the disc is recorded with multiple sessions, the unit

supports up to five sessions.

• Some discs may not be played back, or take some times to
open the whole picture because of the disc characteristics
or recording condition.

• You cannot play back files in the desired (programmed)
or random order.

• The screen saver function is activated while same
picture is displayed for more than 5 minutes except
during slide show playback (see page 57).

• The unit only can play back files with any of the
following file extensions; “.jpg”, “.jpeg”, “.JPG”, “.JPEG”
and any uppercase and lowercase combination (such as

“.Jpg”).

• If a JPEG file name includes any 2-byte character, the

unit may not show the file name correctly.

• When a picture resolution is more than “640 x 480”, it
takes some time to open the whole picture.

• Carry out an operation after opening the whole
picture.The unit does not accept any operation
(Stopping the unit, zooming in/out a picture etc.) while
opening the picture.

• Time required for reading the disc contents differs with
discs, depending on the numbers of Groups (folders)
and files recorded, etc.

• If you play back a non-baseline JPEG file:
The unit cannot display the still picture of the file. (The
TV screen appears only in black.) In this case, other
operations (such as stopping playback, selecting a file,
etc.) are possible but may take a long time.

• While a JPEG disc is loaded, you cannot bring up any
preference display (see pages 60 and 61).

• The available horizontal resolution of a JPEG file is up to
2,400 lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question Answer Ref. page

Can I play back DVD VIDEO and Video CD purchased
abroad?

Can I play back a DVD VIDEO disc without any Region
Code number?

Can I play back a CD-R/RW disc with still pictures in other
than the JPEG format?

Can I play back audio on a disc labeled “Dolby Digital
EX”?

Can I play back audio on a disc labeled “DTS ES”?
Is there any difference in the playback settings between
Discrete and Matrix recording systems for DTS ES?

Can this unit play back a disc labeled “THX”?
What does “THX” mean?

You can play back the DVD VIDEO discs with the Region
Code (local code) containing “ALL” or “1” recorded in
the NTSC or PAL system (PAL disc signals are
reproduced by converting to the NTSC system). You can
also play back the Video CD discs recorded in the NTSC
system. Please check the information on each disc jacket.

The Region code indicates the conformity of the disc to
the standards.
Any DVD VIDEO not conforming to the standards cannot
be played back.

No, you cannot play back that disc.

Yes, you can play back the disc because Dolby Digital EX
is compatible with Dolby Digital. However, to get the
maximum performance of Dolby Digital EX, we
recommend to connect the DIGITAL OUT jack to a
decoder or amplifier/receiver with built-in decoder that
supports Dolby Digital EX. In this case, set “DIGITAL
AUDIO OUTPUT” on the “AUDIO” preference display to
“STREAM/PCM.”

Though you cannot enjoy audio using the analog audio
outputs (AUDIO OUT), you can enjoy DTS ES audio by
connecting the DIGITAL OUT jack to a decoder or
amplifier/receiver with built-in decoder that supports
DTS ES. In this case, set “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” on
the “AUDIO” preference display to “STREAM/PCM.”

Yes you can. “THX” is a name of the original standard for
high quality picture/audio recording and playback
established by Lucasfilm Ltd. A disc labeled “THX” is
certified that it passed this standard.
