About discs

Playable disc types

Playable and non-playable disc types are as follows:

Playable discs

Audio CD

DVD VIDEO Video CD

The DVD VIDEO Logo is a trademark.

• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with the Audio CD format can be played back, though some may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording condition.

Preliminary

• DVD VIDEO players and DVD discs have their own Region Code numbers. This unit only can play back DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code numbers include “1.” Examples of playable DVD VIDEO discs:

Audio CD

CD-R

CD-R CD-RW

CD-RW

ALL

This unit accommodates the NTSC television system and can playback discs recorded with the NTSC system. Note that the unit cannot playback the disc recorded with the PAL system.

Non-playable discs

DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD AUDIO, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, PHOTO CD, CD-EXTRA, CD-G, CD-TEXT

• Playing back discs listed as “Non-playable discs” above may generate noise and damage speakers.

• This unit can play back audio recorded in CD-G, CD-EXTRA and CD-TEXT discs.

Disc structure

A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of “titles,” while an Audio CD, Video CD is comprised of “tracks”. 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. In general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the same title has continuity.

(Example: DVD VIDEO disc)

To connect to audio equipment with a digital input

You can enhance the sound quality by connecting either of the unit's DIGITAL OUT jacks (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to the digital input of an amplifier, MD, etc. by using an optional digital cable. The digital audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder by using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound. When you make the digital connection, we recommend also to make the analog connection, because, depending on discs, no signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT.

• THEATER

You can enjoy sound effects like in a major theater in Hollywood.

When you play a DVD VIDEO disc recorded in Dolby Digital which contains more than 3 channels, ACTION does not appear.

NOTES

• The 3D Phonic display will automatically disappear if you do not change the 3D PHONIC for 5 seconds.

• To turn off the 3D PHONIC display manually, press ENTER.

• With a Video CD disc, if the Audio setting is set to L or R, tou cannot activate the 3D PHONIC function (i.e the 3D PHONIC mode is fixed to OFF).

• The 3D PHONIC function works correctly when playing back discs recorded in the Dolby Surround or Dolby Digital 5.1-CH format. It also works when playing back discs other than those above, but does not provide the correct effect.

• The 3D PHONIC function does not affect the DTS or Dolby Digital bitstream signal from the DIGITAL OUT jack.

• The sound effect will not be set or operate, even if 3D PHONIC is pressed, for the sound of DVD VIDEO discs recorded in Linear PCM.

• When you set the 3D PHONIC function to on, the DOWN MIX and COMPRESSION settings in the AUDIO page of the preference display are disabled.

You can view the disc/time information, as well as the DVD functions status on the TV screen.

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.

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 noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to
