• 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 or SVCD 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.

cable in addition to the (standard) video connection to get better picture quality.
Set the ATTENUATOR switch to OFF normally. If you hear audio sound distorted because the sensitivity of the audio
input of your TV is too high, set the switch to ON.
The unit is compatible with the PAL and NTSC systems, Set the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch on the rear panel to match the
color system of your TV. Make sure that the color system of a DVD VIDEO/Video CD/SVCD disc labeled on the package

Conversely, when the 3D PHONIC function is active,
changing the AUDIO setting to L or R from STEREO
cancels the 3D PHONIC function.
• 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.

MP3 disc playback
This unit can playback CD-R/RW discs recorded by the MP3
format (we refer to those discs as MP3 discs in this manual).
Operations for MP3 discs are similar to those for Audio
CD discs, though there are some restrictions and
differences.
What is MP3?
MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG1 Audio Layer 3”.
MPEG Audio is a compression specification that
compresses the audio portion only. This image
compression method is used in DVD or Video CD, etc.
The audio data has been compressed into about 1/10.
Unavailable functions
As described earlier, there are some resrictions for
playback of MP3 discs. Following functions are not
available with MP3 discs.
Unavailable functions for MP3 discs
Function name Function
Resume To resume playback
About MP3 disc
On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on each
Track (file), which usually belongs to a Group (folder).
Group 1 Group 2
Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 1 Track 2
This unit can recognize up to 99 Groups and up to 254
Tracks per Group, however, the number of Tracks to be
played back on a disc is limited to 1023.
If a disc includes more than 1023 Tracks, the unit stops
detecting Tracks when the number of detected Tracks
reaches 1023 and ignores the subsequent Tracks. The
unit also ignores any non-MP3 file in the disc.
NOTES for making a private MP3 disc
using a CD-R/CD-RW disc:
• Select “ISO 9660” as the disc format.
• Do not select the “multi-session” recording.
• Finalize the disc.
playback
MP3 disc
NOTES
• The unit does not support “packet write” discs.
• If there are any Tracks (files) which are stored on a disc
directly and do not belong to any Group (folder), the
unit recognized them as belonging to an independent
Group.
• The unit does not output a digital audio signal from
DIGITAL OUT when playing back an MP3 disc.
• Some disc may not be played back because of the disc
characteristics or recording condition.
• The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3 disc in
the alphabetical order.
For example, if there are three Groups titled [one], [two]
and [three] on a disc, the playback order is [one], [three]
then [two]. Tracks in a Group are played back in the
same way.
Time search To locate a desired position in the
current track
Manual search To advance or reverse playback rapidly
A-B repeat To repeat a desired part
3D phonic To simulate surround sound
NOTES
• You cannot playback Tracks in the desired
(programmed) or random order, nor playback a Track
repeatedly.
• The screen saver function is not active with an MP3
disc, as with an Audio CD.

NOTES
• The unit does not provide the DTS decoding function.
• When playing a DVD VIDEO or Audio CD disc with DTS,
use a DTS decoder to get correct signals from your
speakers. Never use the unit's analog output jacks,
which output incorrect signals that may damage your
speakers.
• If you connect the analog outputs and digital outputs
simultaneously, be sure to select the source of the
amplifier correctly, or set the level control of the
amplifier connected to the analog outputs to minimum.
• While an Audio CD disc is selected (not only during
playback but also while stopped), the input signals from
the MIC 1/2 jacks are not output from the DIGITAL OUT
jack.
• When the KARAOKE function is active and the DVD
VIDEO disc is selected, you can enjoy the input signals
from the MIC 1/2 jacks with the DIGITAL OUT jack
(except recorded with linear PCM audio). In such case,
set the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” to “PCM ONLY”.
DOWN MIX
To playback a DVD VIDEO
disc recorded with surround
multichannel audio
correctly, the DOWN MIX
setting must be properly
made according to your
audio system. Note that this
setting affects the analog audio output signal from the
AUDIO OUT jacks when playing back a DVD VIDEO disc
recorded with surround multichannel audio.
•Lt/Rt
When you enjoy surround audio by connecting the
unit’s AUDIO output to a surround decoder or an
internal amplifier.
•L
0/R0
When you enjoy conventional 2-channel stereo audio
by connecting the unit’s AUDIO output to a stereo
amplifier/receiver or television set, or when you
duplicate audio of a DVD VIDEO disc recorded with
surround audio to your MD, cassette, etc.

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
industry standards.)
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.
