With the DVD format, you can hear a program's
soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presenta­tion possible, thanks to digital audio technology. How­ever, you may wish to compress the dynamic range of
the audio output (the difference between the loudest
sounds and the quietest ones). This allows you to listen
to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of
sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.

This function operates only at the time of playback of
DVDs recorded with Dolby Digital.

Vocal

Set to on only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is
playing. The karaoke channels on the disc mix into nor­mal stereo sound.

Rating

Some movies contain scenes that may not be suitable
for children to view. Many of these discs contain paren­tal control information that applies to the complete disc
or to certain scenes on the disc. Movies and scenes are
rated from 1 to 8, depending on the country. Some discs
offer more suitable scenes as an alternative.

The parental control feature allows you to block access
to scenes below the rating you input, thereby prevent­ing your children from being able to view material you
believe is unsuitable.

Rating 1-8: Rating one (1) has the most restrictions and
rating eight (8) is the least restrictive.

same rating or lower are played. Higher rated
scenes are not played unless an alternate scene is avail­able on the disc. The alternative must have the same rat­ing or a lower one. If no suitable alternative is found, play­back stops. You must enter the 4-digit password or

÷ This unit is compatible with 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz(recommended) and 48 kHz sampling frequencies.
÷ This unit is compatible with ID3-TAG Ver. 1.

÷ DIGITAL output of MP3/WMA data is done not as MP3/WMA data, but as PCM data.

Naming folders and files

Single-byte characters between A and Z, single-byte numerais between 0 and 9, and the single-byte underscore(_) can be displayed.
Ensure that the "mp3" (MP3 files), "wma" (WMA files) or "jpg" (JPEG files) extension log is attached to all file names

÷ Never add the "mp3" (or "wma") extension log to any files other than MP3 (or WMA) files. If the "mp3" (or "wma") exten-

sion log is added to any files other than MP3 (or WMA) files, the equipment will assume that they can be played back, and
this will produce loud noises in the speakers, resulting in damage of adverse effects.

÷ Never add the "jpg" extension log to any files other than JPEG files. If the "jpg" extension log is added to any files other

than JPEG, the unit will not operate normally.

Confirming media and files

Check to ascertain that MP3/WMA files can be played back correctly on the personal computer in use prior to saving them onto the
media. Check to ensure that the saved file can be played back normally.

÷ It is not possible to confirm that files can be played back correctly while they are being saved onto the media.

When saving files onto media

Operations

Ensure that the session is closed or finalized when data has been written on media. There are cases where media on which the session
has not be closed or finalized will not be played back correctly with this equipment.

÷ There are cases where the folder names and file names will not be displayed correctly depending on the software used to

save them.

÷ Do not store files or folders other than MP3, WMA or JPEG on media to be played back with this equipment.
÷ It is recommended that ten or less sessions are stored when recording MP3/WMA files onto a media.
÷ In case of a multisession disc, some time may be required until playback begins.
÷ There are cases where playback is not possible when MP3/WMA/JPEG files (CD-ROM) and music CD infomation (CD-DA)

are saved on the same media.

÷ The total number of files on the disc should be less than 999.
