Playable discs

Preliminary knowledge

DVDVIDEO SVCD

VIDEO

The DVD VIDEO Logo is a trademark. CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with SVCD, Video CD, Audio CD or MP3 format can be played back, though some may

not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording condition. DVD VIDEO players and DVD discs have their own Region Code numbers. This unit only can play back DVD VIDEO

discs whose Region Code numbers include "1." Examples of playable DVD VIDEO discs:

This unit accommodates the NTSC television system and can playback discs recorded with the NTSC system. Note that the unit cannot playback the disc recorded with the PAL system.

DIGITAL AUDIO

Non-playable discs

DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD AUDIO, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, CD-ROM, PHOTO CD, CD-EXTRA, CD-G, CD-TEXT,

SACD

• 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.

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.

Audio cable (not supplied)

Connect the unit's AUDIO OUT to any line-level inputs (such as AUX, DVD, CD, etc.) of an audio amplifier or receiver.

You can enhance the sound quality by connecting either of the unit's DIGITAL OUT jacks (OPTICAL* or COAXIAL) to the

digital input of a receiver, CD Recorder, etc. 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 or DTS 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, we also recommend to make the analog connection, because, depending on

discs, no signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT. * : The OPTICAL jack is equipped for XV-S400BK/XV-S402SL only.

This unit can palyback CD discs recorded by the MP3 format

(we refer to those discs as MP3 CD discs in this manual). Operations for MP3 CD 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.

To resume playback

On an MP3 CD disc, each material (song) is recorded on each Track (file), which usually belongs to a Group

(folder).

I, Group,'11-"Gr°u°2 I Track' Track2 l Track3 lI Track' Track2 l

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 CD

using a CD-R/CD-RW disc:

• Select "ISO 9660" as the discformat.

• Do not selectthe "multi-session" recording.

• Finalizethe 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 (directory), 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 CD disc.

• The unit plays back Groups/Tracks on an MP3 CD disc in

the alphabetical order.

For example, if there are three title Groups [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.

Therefore, an MP3 CD disc on the market may be played

back in the different order from the order printed on its

sleeve.

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.
