Audio formats

Some audio formats used on discs are described below.

•Linear PCM

Uncompressed digital audio, the same format used on
CDs and most studio masters.
DVD AUDIO supports up to six channels at sample
rates of 48/96/192 kHz (also 44.1/88.2/176.4 kHz) and
sample sizes of 16/20/24 bits.
DVD VIDEO supports two channels at sampling rates
of 48/96 kHz and quantization of 16/20/24 bits.
Audio CD/Video CD limited to two channels, 44.1 kHz
at 16 bits.

• MPEG Multichannel

A surround audio format which can handle the
augmentative 7.1-channel format (rare for home use),
as well as 5.1-channel.

• Dolby Digital

A surround audio format configured with six channels.
Because the "LFE (Low-Frequency Effect for sub­woofer, etc.)" channel, one of the six channels, is an
auxiliary channel, this format is called "5.1-channel
system."
Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channel
information.

• DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

2

3

5

6

A surround audio format configured with six (5.1)
channels which is same as Dolby Digital. Because the
compression ratio is lower than Dolby Digital, it
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels
information.

• MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing)

A format for DVD AUDIO with the compression ratio of
about 2:1 while allowing the PCM signal to be
completely recreated by the MLP decoder (required in
all DVD AUDIO players). It supports up to 192 kHz/24
bit.

The associated indicator lights up in the display window
when playing back a disc.

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

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

* When playing back a DVD AUDIO disc recorded by

MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing; a lossless audio
compression system that can completely recreate the
PCM signal), no indicator lights up in the display
window.

Note that with some formats and/or depending on the
unit’s [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] setting, digital audio
signals may not be always transmitted from the unit’s
DIGITAL OUT jacks as they are recorded on the disc.
See [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] on page 60 for details.

Introduction

Disc structure

(For DVD AUDIO)

A DVD AUDIO disc is comprised of "groups," and each
group is comprised of "tracks." Some DVD AUDIO discs
also contain a "bonus group" that can be played back by
entering the "key number" (a kind of password). Usually
the contents of a "bonus group" are not opened to the
public. Note that most DVD AUDIO discs include other
information in addition to audio, such as still pictures,
movies and text.

Group 1 Group 2

Track 1

(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.

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

(For SVCD/Video CD/Audio CD)

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

SVCDs and Video CDs 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
SVCD or Video CD 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 27 for more information
about PBC (Playback Control).).

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 is 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.

The Progressive scanning mode selection only works when NTSC/REMOTE/PAL switch on the rear panel is set to "NTSC"
or "REMOTE." However, note that, when the NTSC/REMOTE/PAL switch on the rear panel is set to "REMOTE" and set
NTSC system from the remote control unit first.

• When the unit turned on, and the NTSC/REMOTE/PAL switch on the rear panel is set to "NTSC" or "REMOTE."

Getting started

Press and hold down VFP - PROGRESSIVE SCAN for a 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 PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is lit.
Depending on the [STILL 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 59).

REMOTE CONTROL

To memorize the interrupt position

Available :

¶ During playback

When the resume mode is set to [DISC RESUME]

Press 7 .

The unit stops playback and memorizes the interrupt position. After pressing 7 , the display window on the front
panel shows [RESUME STOP].
In this condition, the memory of the interrupt position is not cleared if you press 0 to open the disc tray, or press
STANDBY/ON (on the front panel) or DVD STANDBY/ON (on the remote control unit) to turn off the unit.

Hints

• The interrupt position is also memorized when you press 0 , STANDBY/ON (on the front panel) or DVD STANDBY/ON (on
the remote control unit). In this case, [RESUME STOP] is not shown on the display window.

• To clear the memory, press 7 while the disc stopped.

• The unit memorizes interrupt positions for the last 30 discs played.

• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupt position has already been stored, the memory will be updated with the
new interrupt position.

• After the unit has stored interrupt positions for 30 discs, remembering a new interrupt position will cause the unit to delete the
oldest stored position. Interrupting playback of a disc for which an interrupt position is already stored may change the order in
which the positions are stored. This may potentially change the order in which positions are deleted.

20

Basic operations

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.

Hints

• The interrupt position is also stored by pressing STANDBY/ON (on the front panel) or DVD STANDBY/ON (on the remote
control unit).

• To clear the memory, press 7 while the disc stopped.

To resume playback

Available :

When the resume mode is set to [DISC RESUME]

¶ While stopped, or no disc is inserted

1 Press 0 to insert a disc for which the unit has stored an interrupt position.

After loading the disc, the display window on the front panel shows [RESUME STOP].
(If a disc for which you want to resume playback is already set in the disc tray, go to step 2.)

2 Press 3.

The display window shows [RESUME PLAY] and the unit resumes playback from the position where playback was
interrupted.
The unit maintains the memory of the interrupt position for the disc, even if you remove the disc from the disc tray
and replace it again. The unit also maintains the memory of the interrupt position while the disc is in the disc tray.

• To play back a disc from the beginning (instead of the interrupted position)

After loading the disc, press 7 before pressing 3 to start playback.
Pressing 7 while the disc is stopped clears the memory of the interrupted position.
Every time you interrupt playback, the position is remembered as the new "resume" point.

When the resume mode is set to [ON]

¶ While the disc you interrupted playback last time* is still on the disc tray (*by pressing 7 or by turning off the power)

Press 3.

The unit resumes playback from the position where playback was interrupted.
If you press 3 then 7 , the unit starts playback after the display window shows [RESUME PLAY].
Note that you cannot resume playback if you interrupted playback last time by opening the disc tray.

• To play back a disc from the beginning (instead of the interrupted position)

Do any of the following:
* Press 7 while stopped, then press 3.
* Turn on the unit by pressing DVD STANDBY/ON (on the remote control unit) or STANDBY/ON (on the

front panel) then press 3.

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 SVCD/Video CD 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 AUDIO/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 remembers 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 AUDIO, 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].
