• 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.

Connect the unit to a TV equipped with stereo audio input and video input jacks using the supplied audio/video cables.
• 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.
• If your TV has an S-video input, you should connect it with the S-VIDEO output of the unit using the optional S-video
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
matches your TV. If you use a multi-system TV, you can play discs recorded on both PAL and NTSC systems by setting
the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch appropriately. However, note that you must change the switch position while the unit
power is off (standby). Otherwise, the changed setting is not effective.
