• Playing back discs listed as “Non-playable discs” in the table 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.

• 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 supplied 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 color 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 the DVD/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.

To connect to audio equipment with a digital input

You can enhance the sound quality by connecting the unit’s DIGITAL OUT to the digital input of an amplifier, DAT or MD 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, DTS or MPEG Multichannel 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, also make the analog connection, because, depending on the disc type, no audio may be reproduced from the DIGITAL OUT.

When using the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack, remove the protection cap. Do not lose the removed cap. When the jack is not used, fix the protection cap into the jack.
