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 images may be garbled or noisy. This is sometimes due to the disc.

• Connect "Y" to "Y", "Ps" to "PB"(CB), "PR"to "PR"(CR) correctly.

The unit supports the Progressive scan system(480p) as well as the conventional Interlace scan system(480i).

If your television or monitor equipped with component jacks supports the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high

quality picture by making the Progressive scan mode active.

• If your television equipped with component jacks does not support the progressive scan mode Set the Scan mode selector to "480i".

If your television equipped with component jacks supports the progressive scan mode Set the Scan mode selector to "480p".

If you want to select the scan mode between the interlace and progressive modes (depending on the source condition, or when connecting more than one television etc.)

You can select the mode from the remote control unit. To do this, set the scan mode selector to "REMOTE". (See "To make the Progressive scan mode selection active from the remote control unit" on page 8 for details about

how to select the scan mode from the remote control unit when the scan mode selector is set to "REMOTE".)

NOTES

• When the scan mode is set to the progressive mode, the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is lit. The color of the

indicator differs depending on the "PROGRESSIVE MODE" setting on the "PICTURE" preference display and the status of the unit (see pages 8 and 49.)

• When connecting to a TV using the VIDEO or S-VIDEO jack, make sure that the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is not

lit. If it is lit, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed the correct signals. Toturn off the PROGRESSIVE indicator, set the scan mode selector on the rear panel to "480i". Or, while setting the scan mode selector to "REMOTE", make the Progressive scan mode inactive by following the procedure described on page 8.

• When the component video input jacks of the TV is of the BNC type, use an adapter to convert a pin jack to a BNC jack (optional).

• Make "ANALOG DOWN MIX" in the "AUDIO" preferences to "STEREO" (see page 51).

• 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.

• To improve audio sound quality, connect the AUDIO OUT jacks to your separate audio equipment. (See the following pages.)

• If your TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV COMPU LINK function. See "AV COMPU LINK remote control

system" on page 58 for details.

About SCAN MODE

To display video on the television (monitor) screen, the conventional scanning method is called "Interlaced scan". 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 scan system scans all horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the number of pictures compared with the interlaced scan, resulting 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 24-

frame-per-second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-per-second

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.

Page 10

Getting started

To make the Progressive scan mode selection active from the remote control unit

The unit supports the Progressive scan system as well as the conventional Interlace scan system. If your television or monitor supports the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by making the Progressive scan mode active.

480p If you want to select the scan mode between the interlace and progressive modes depending on the

480i_lr_ReM_OTE 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 the VFP - PROGRESSIVESCAN button for a few seconds.

The scan mode switches between the Progressive scan and Interlace scan modes.

• When the scan mode is set to the progressive mode, the PROGRESSIVE 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 pages 7 and 49.

The unit can play back MP3 files on a private CD-R/RW

disc or commercial CD. We refer to a disc that contains MP3 file as an "MP3 disc" in this manual.

Though available functions with MP3 discs are limited,

operations for the available functions are similar to those with Audio CD discs. Note that, if a disc contains both of MP3 and JPEG files,

you can only play back files of either type selected by the MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display.(See page 50.)

What is MP3?

"MP3" stands for "MPEG Audio Layer-3", and is the 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 10 times as much as Audio CD.

NOTE

Make sure that the TV - DVD switch on the remote control unit is set to "DVD" when using the A/v/4/I_ and numeric

buttons for controlling the unit.

About MP3 disc

On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on a

file. Files are sometimes grouped into a folder by artist,

album, category, etc. In addition, a folder can be a member of another folder, creating hierarchical folder layers. If you are familiar with a personal computer, you may easily understand the hierarchical file/folder construction of MP3 discs.

This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc

and manages files and folders by "Tracks" and "Groups" in the following manners.

• Each file is regarded as a Track.

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

• A folders' folder which does not manage any file directly 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 back them. If

there is any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder, those files are also counted down from the total

number of 150.

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

• Select "ISO 9660" as the discformat.

• Finalizethe discafter completing recording.

• We recommend to record a material at 44.1-kHz Fsand

at the 128-kbpsdata transfer rate.

NOTES

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

• The unit does not support the ID3tag.

• If the discis recordedwith multiple sessions,the unit

supports up to five sessions.

• Somediscsmay notbe playedbackbecauseofthe disc characteristicsorrecordingcondition.

• The unit does not output a digital audio signalfrom DIGITALOUT when playing back a MP3 disc.

• Youcannot playbackTracksin the desired (programmed) or random order.

• The unit only can play back Trackswith any of the following file extensions; ".MP3", ".Mp3", ".mp3" and

".mP3".

• Time requiredfor readingthe disc contents differswith

discs,depending on the numbersof Groups (folders) and Tracks(files) recorded,etc.

• While an MP3 discis loaded,you cannot bring upany preferencedisplay.(See page47.)

The unit can play back JPEG files on a private 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 either type selected by the

MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display (See page 50).

What is JPEG?

"JPEG" is an abbreviation for the Joint Photographic

Experts Group and is an image format that utilizes a compression technique. There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.

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

• progressive JPEG: used for web

• Iossless JPEG: an old type and rarely used now The unit supports only the baseline JPEG type, therefore, it cannot display pictures of the other types

(progressive and Iossless). 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 the remote control unit is set to "DVD" when using the A/V/4/I_, numeric

buttons for controlling the unit.

About JPEG disc

On an JPEG disc, each material (still picture) is recorded on afile. Files may be grouped into a folder by category, etc. In addition, a folder can be a member of another folder,

creating hierarchical folder layers. If you are familiar with a

personal computer, you may easily understand the hierarchical file/folder construction of JPEG discs.

This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc

and manages folders by "Groups" in the following manners.

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

• A folders' folder which does not manage any file directly 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 play back them. If there is any type of files other than JPEG files in a folder, those files are also counted down from the total number of 150.

Group 1 Group 2

I J'll - J'l

_ up to 150 files per directory

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

• Select "ISO 9660" as the disc format.

• Finalize the disc after completing recording.

• We recommend to record a material at "640 x 480"

resolution.

• The unit supports only the baseline JPEG type,

therefore, it cannot display pictures of the other types

(progressive and Iossless). 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.)

NOTES

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

• If the disc is recorded with multiple sessions, the unit

supports up to five sessions.

• Some disc may not be played back, or take some time to

open the whole picture because of the disc characteristics

or recording condition.

• You cannot playback files in the desired (programmed)

or random order.

• The screen saver function is activated while same

picture is displayed for more than 5 minutes except

during slide show playback (See page 44.)

• The unit only can play back files with any of the following file extensions; ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".JPG",

".JPEG" and any uppercase and lowercase combination (such as ".Jpg").

• If a JPEG file name includes any 2-byte character, the

unit may not show the file name correctly.

• When a picture resolution is more than "640 x 480", it takes some time to open the whole picture.

• Carry out an operation after opening the whole

picture.The unit does not accept any operation (Stopping the unit, zooming in/out a picture etc.) while opening the picture.

• Time required for reading the disc contents differs with

discs, depending on the numbers of Groups (folders) and files recorded, etc.

• If you play back a non-baseline JPEG file: The unit cannot display the still picture of the file. (the TV screen appears only in black.) In this case, other

operations (such as stopping playback, selecting a file,etc.) are possible but may take a long time.

• While a JPEG disc is loaded, you cannot bring up any

preference display (See page 47.)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play back DVD VIDEO and Video CD purchased You can play back the DVD VIDEO discs with the Region abroad? Code (local code) containing 'ALL' or '1' recorded in the

NTSC or PAL system (PAL disc signals are reproduced by 4

converting to the NTSC system). You can also play back the Video CD discs recorded in the NTSC system. Please check the information on each disc jacket.

Can I play back a DVD VIDEO disc without any Region Code number?

The Region code indicates the conformity of the disc to the standards.

Any DVD VIDEO not conforming to the standards cannot

be played back.

Can I play back audio on a disc labeled "Dolby Digital EX"?

Can I play back audio on a disc labeled "DTS ES"? Is there any difference in the playback settings between Discrete and Matrix recording systems for DTS ES?

Can this unit play back a disc labeled "THX"?

What does "THX" mean?

When files of the MP3 and Audio CD formats are

recorded on a same disc, can the unit play back files of both formats?

Some Dolby Digital discs contain 5.1-ch Surround or Dolby Surround audio data. What is the difference between these two types?

Yes, you can play back the disc because Dolby Digital EX is compatible with Dolby Digital. However, to get the

maximum performance of Dolby Digital EX, we

recommend to connect the DIGITAL OUT jack to a decoder or amplifier/receiver with built-in decoder that supports Dolby Digital EX. In this case, set "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" on the "AUDIO" preference display to "STREAM/PCM".

Though you cannot enjoy audio using the analog audio outputs (AUDIO OUT), you can enjoy DTS ES audio by connecting the DIGITAL OUT jack to a decoder or amplifier/receiver with built-in decoder that supports

DTS ES. In this case, set "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" on the "AUDIO" preference display to "STREAM/PCM".

Yes you can. "THX" is a name of the original standard for

high quality picture/audio recording and playback established by Lucasfilm Ltd. A disc labeled "THX" is certified that it passed this standard.

The disc is of the data CD format, therefore, the unit can

play back only files of the MP3 format.

Laboratories Inc. in the U.S.A.

Dolby Surround records 2-channel surround audio information are 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 channel information for left, right, center, rear left, rear

right and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect for Sub-woofer etc.). When played back, a Dolby Digital decoder decodes data and outputs signals separately. Generally, Dolby Digital sounds better.

It is a block noise specific to a motion picture recorded in digital, and is not a malfunction of the unit.

When playing back a DVD VIDEO or Video CD disc, something like mosaic appears on the TV screen. Is this

because of a malfunction of the unit?

Indicates the number of scan lines and scanning format of an image signal. 480i indicates 480 scanning lines with interlace format, and 480p indicates 480 scanning lines with progressive format.

Aspect ratio

A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV. It is the width of the picture relative to the height. The conventional TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.

Bitstream

The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1- channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Channel, CH

Stereo or multichannel audio consists of "channel" signals. "Stereo" audio consists of left and right channels, while 5.1-channel Dolby Digital consists of six channels (front left, front right, rear left, rear right,

center and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel for sub- woofer, etc.).

Chapter

The smallest division on DVD VIDEO. It is a division of a title and similar to a track for Audio CD or Video CD.

Component video

Video signals with three channels of separate information that makes up the picture. There are some types of component video, such as R/G/B and Y/ CB(PB)/CR(PR).

Composite video

A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization information.

Dolby Digital (AC3)

A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel for sub-woofer, etc.) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channel

information.

Dolby Surround/Dolby Prologic

Dolby Surround is a five-channel system consisting of left, center, right and left rear, right rear channels. All

processing is done in the digital domain. Dolby Prologic is a four-channel system consisting of

requires a decoder, either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems.

Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channel

information.

Dynamic range

The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.

Dynamic range compression

The dynamic range compression (DRC) reduces the dynamic range so that you can turn down the volume to avoid disturbing others yet still hear the detail of quiet passages.

Extension

Several letters at the end of a filename. Filename extensions usually follow a period and indicate the

type of information stored in the file.

Finalize

When conducting multisession recording, this means the closing of a session (fixing) by indicating the

halting of writing so as to prevent the addition of any

more sessions.

See "Sampling frequency".

ID3 tag

The tag embedded in an MP3 file indicating what song, artists, and album it comes from. You can edit these tags.

Interlace scan

In the conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display monitor in two halves. The Interlace scan system places lines of the second half of the

picture in-between lines of the first half of the picture.

ISO 9660 Format

The most common international standard for the

logical format for files and directories on a CD-ROM.

JPEG

Linear PCM audio

Stands for "pulse code modulation". Linear PCM is the usual digital method without compression, used for audio playback of DVD Video discs, Audio CD discs, etc.

Most DVD VIDEO or Video CD/SVCD discs provide a menu, through which users can select a desired playback material, condition, etc.

MP3

MP3 is an audio data reduction format, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data reduction of about 1:10.

MPEG

Multisession

A method of adding data to a CD-R/CD-RW in more than one recording session using the Track-At-Once method.

NTSC (National television system committee)

A black & white and color television system format used in U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.

Packet Writing

A method of writing data on a CD-R/CD-RW in small increments. Packets can be of fixed or variable length.

PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)

Progressive scan

Progressive scan displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a single frame. A progressive-

scan DVD player converts the interlaced (480i) video from DVD into progressive (480p) format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically

increases the vertical resolution.

Region code

Code identifying a geographic region of compatibility for a DVD.

Sampling frequency

The rate at which measurements of an audio signal are taken during A/D and D/A conversion. The

measure is samples per second.

Surround

An audio system with more than two (left and right) channels, usually including rear channels, etc.

S-video

A video signal which improves picture quality over standard composite connections. Used on Super VHS,

DVD, high end TV monitors, etc.

Title
