Disc structure

(For DVD VIDEO)

A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of "titles" and each title may be divided into "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.

Title 2Title 1

Chapter 1

Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2

(For Audio CD/Video CD/SVCD)

An Audio CD, Video CD or SVCD is simply comprised of "tracks."

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4

Video CDs and SVCDs with Playback Control function

What is Playback Control (PBC) function?

The Playback Control function allows you to enjoy menudriven 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 a Video CD or SVCD 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 the menu display to select and play an entry. See illustration below about basic feature of menudriven playback (See page 24 for more information about PBC (Playback Control)).

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.

Introduction

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

The image may be sometimes poor or noisy due to defects in the disc itself.

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, resulting in flicker-free, high-density picture.

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-secon 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.

To make the Progressive scanning mode selection active

The unit supports the Progressive scanning system as well as the conventional Interlaced scanning system. If your television or monitor supports the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by making the Progressive scanning mode active. If you want to select the scanning mode between the interlaced and progressive modes depending on the source

condition or when connecting more than one television, you can select the mode from the remote control unit. To do this, set the scan mode selector on the rear panel to "REMOTE" (see page 7).

• When the unit is turned on, and the scan mode selector on the rear panel is set to "REMOTE."

Press and hold down VFP - PROGRESSIVE SCAN for few seconds

The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning and Interlaced scanning modes.

• When the scanning mode is set to the progressive mode, the PROGRESIVE indicator on the front panel is lit. Depending on the "PROGRESSIVE MODE" setting on the "PICTURE" preference display and whether the current DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or video-source, the color of the indicator differs, as shown in the table below. (see also page 51).

• When you connect the unit’s DIGITAL OUT to a digital audio device, before using, set "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" in the "AUDIO" preferences correctly according to the connected audio device. If "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" is not set correctly, loud noise may be generated from speakers, causing damage to them. See "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" on page 52.

• When you connect the unit’s DIGITAL OUT to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder (or amplifier with a built-in decoder) to enjoy surround sound, the unit’s "D. RANGE COMPRESSION" setting in the "AUDIO" preferences is invalid. Make appropriate surround audio settings on the decoder.

• If your digital audio device has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV COMPU LINK function. See "AV COMPU LINK remote control system" on page 60 for details.

This may potentially change the order in which positions are deleted.

When the resume mode is set to "ON"

Press 7.

The unit stops playback and memorizes the interrupt position. In this condition, the memory of the interrupt position is not cleared if you press STANDBY/ON (on the front panel) or DVD STANDBY/ON (on the remote control unit) to turn off the unit. Note that if you press 0 to open the disc tray, the memory of the interrupt position is cleared.

NOTES

• If you use the "OTHERS" preference display to change the "RESUME" setting from "DISC RESUME" to "OFF" or "ON," you cannot resume playback of a disc whose "resuming" position is stored. However, if you again set "RESUME" to "DISC RESUME," you will then be able to resume playback of the disc.

• If you open the disc tray while RESUME mode is set to ON, the "resume" point will be cleared.

• The resume function does not work with Audio CD, MP3 and JPEG discs.

• In the case of a Video CD/SVCD disc with PBC function, the unit may resume playback from a point slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was interrupted.

• The unit may not resume playback exactly from the interrupt point.

• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the unit regards each side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a disc, the disc must be loaded with the same side down.

• When the unit memorizes an interrupt point for a disc, it also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings (regardless of whether "RESUME" is set to "DISC RESUME" or "ON").

• If you interrupt playback while the menu for a DVD VIDEO, SVCD or Video CD is shown on the TV screen, the unit may not correctly memorize the interrupt position, regardless of whether the "RESUME" mode is set to "ON" or "DISC RESUME."

MP3 disc playback

010 +10

The unit can play back MP3 files on a personally recorded CD-R/RW disc or commercial CD. We refer to a disc that contains MP3 file as an "MP3 disc" in this manual. Though functions available with MP3 discs are limited, operations for the available functions are similar to those for Audio CD discs. Note that if a disc contains both of MP3 and JPEG files, you can only play back files of the type selected by the MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display (see page 52).

What is MP3?

"MP3" stands for "MPEG Audio Layer-3," and is a 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 nearly10 times as much as an 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

• The unit does not support "packet writing" discs.

• 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 the ID3 tag.

• If the disc is recorded with multiple sessions, the unit supports up to five sessions.

• Some discs may not play due to disc characteristics or recording conditions.

• Programmed and random playback functions do not work with MP3 discs.

• The unit only can play back Tracks with the following file extensions; ".MP3," ".Mp3," ".mp3" and ".mP3."

• Time required for reading the disc contents may vary for defferent 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 page 49).

Operations

About MP3 discs

On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a file. Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, category, etc. Folders can exist within other folders, creating hierarchical layers of folders. If you are familiar with personal computers, the hierarchical file and folder structure of an MP3 disc will be familiar to you as well. This unit simplifies the hierarchical structure of a disc and manages files and folders using "Tracks" and "Groups," in the following manner.

• Each file is regarded as a Track.

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

• A folder which does not directly contain any files 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 them back. If there are files other than MP3 files, they also count against the 150-file total.

Group 1

Track 1

Group 1’

up to 150 Tracks per Group

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

• Select "ISO 9660" as the disc format.

• Finalize the disc after completing recording.

• We recommend you record your material at a 44.1 kHz sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.

JPEG disc playback

The unit can play back JPEG files on a personally recorded 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 the type selected by the MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display (see page 52).

What is JPEG?

"JPEG" is an abbreviation for the Joint Photographic Experts Group. "JPEG" is used to refer to an image file format that utilizes a certain compression technique. There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.

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

• progressive JPEG: used for the web

• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now

The unit supports only the baseline JPEG format; Therefore, it cannot display pictures saved in the progressive or lossless formats. 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 (filename, file number, etc.), but you cannot show the still pictures of those files (the TV screen appears only in black).

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 discs

On a JPEG disc, each picture is recorded as a file. Files are sometimes grouped into folders by category, etc. Folders can exist within other folders, creating hierarchical layers of folders. If you are familiar with personal computers, the hierarchical file and folder

playback

JPEG disc

structure of a JPEG disc will be familiar to you as well. This unit simplifies the hierarchical structure of a disc and manages folders using "Groups," in the following manner.

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

• A folder which does not directly contain any files 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 display them. If there are files other than JPEG files, they also count against

the 150-file total.

Group 1

Group 2

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

• Select "ISO 9660" as the disc format.

• Finalize the disc after completing recording.

• We recommend you record your material at a 640 x 480 pixel resolution.

• This unit supports only the baseline JPEG format. Therefore, it cannot display pictures saved in the progressive or lossless formats. 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 show the information of the contents (filename, 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.

• The unit may not be able to read some discs, or may take a long time to display a picture on the disc, due to disc characteristics or recording conditions.

• Programmed and random playback functions do not work with JPEG discs.

• The screen saver function will be activated if the same picture is displayed for more than 5 minutes except during slide show playback (see page 46).

• The unit only can play back files with the following file extensions; ".jpg," ".jpeg," ".JPG," ".JPEG" and any other combination of upper case and lower case letters (such as ".Jpg").

• If a JPEG file name includes any 2-byte character, the unit may not show the file name correctly.

• If a picture has been saved at greater than 640 x 480 pixel resolution, it may take some time to display the picture.

• The unit will not accept any commands (stopping playback, zooming in or out of an image, etc.) while in the process of displaying a picture.

• The time required to read the disc contents may vary for different discs, depending on the numbers of Groups (folders) and files recorded, etc.

• If you attempt to display a non-baseline JPEG image: The unit will not be able to display the picture (the TV screen will be black). Other operations (stopping display, selecting a file, etc.) will be possible, but may take a long time.

• While a JPEG disc is loaded, you cannot bring up any preference display (see page 49).

• This unit does not support pixel size picture of more than 2400 pixels. Make sure that the picture pixel size is 2400 pixels or less.

Both are surround sound standards developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc. in the U.S.A. In Dolby Surround, two-channel surround audio information is recorded onto the analog stereo (left and right) channels together with front stereo audio information. When played back, the surround signals are separated by a Dolby Surround or Dolby Pro Logic decoder. Dolby Digital digitally encodes and records up to six channels of information for left, right, center, rear left, rear right and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect, for use with a subwoofer). When played back, a Dolby Digital decoder decodes the data and outputs signals separately. Generally, Dolby Digital sounds better.

This is block noise specific to a digitally recorded motion picture. It is not a malfunction of the unit.

The operation of this unit may occasionally be unacceptable due to the intention of the disc contents creator and/or structural restrictions.
