128kbps recommended (32 kbps-320 kbps)

÷ This unit is compatible with 32kHz, 44.1kHz

(recommended) and 48 kHz samplimg frequencies.

Categorizing folders

As MP3 files are compressed into high-quality sound files at an extremely high rate of compression, it is possible to record several times more tracks than audio CDs onto a single medium. It is therefore convenient to split the tracks into different folders by genre, artist or album for retrieval and repeat playback purposes.

÷ A maximum of 999 folders or a maximum of 999

files can be stored on a single media.

÷ There are cases where it is not possible to save

folders in the desired sequence depending on the software being used.

Additional information

Usable formats : ISO9660 level 1 (excluding expanded formats)

Text display

Both file and folder names are displayed in up 8 uppercase alphanumeric characters.

With MP3 files

Note on the multi-session disc and CD-DA (music data)

÷ This unit is compatible with multi-session discs.

÷ The music CD data (CD-DA data) can be played

only when its first session is composed of music CD data (CD-DA data). The second and later sessions are not played back.

Never add the MP3 extension logs to any files other than MP3 files. If the MP3 extension logs are added to any files other than MP3 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.

Check to ascertain that MP3 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.

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 were the folder names and file

names will not be displayed correctly depending on the software used to save them.

÷ There are cases where playback is not possible

when MP3 files (CD-ROM) and music CD information (CD-DA) are saved on the same media.

÷ When a disc contains a mixture of different formats

such as the CD-DA and MP3, the data in the CDDA format will be played in priority.

However, when "the number of sessions is '2'" and "its second session is composed of music CD data (CD-DA data)", the music CD data (CD-DA) can be played back.

DTS disclaimer clause

When playing DTS-encoded (CDs, LDs, DVDs), excessive noise will be exhibited from the analog stereo outputs. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions when the analog stereo outputs of the DVD player is connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the DVD player.

For DV-5900M

DTS disclaimer clause

DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions should be taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.

This unit is equipped with DTS Digital Surround™ decoder.

Chapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 5

6-1 Introduction

Thanks to sophisticated design and onboard memory storage, your DVD mega-changer can read and store additional information about the discs you load, enabling you to choose discs by title information rather than just disc position.

This memory feature means you don’t have to remember what disc is stored in which slot or spend time creating a list of what you’ve loaded.

Here’s how it works: every disc has a Table of Contents code embedded in it. The changer reads this code and associates with it any other information that it reads or that you enter for the disc. It stores the information internally so that when you load or play the disc, the changer still contains the disc and track titles (among other things).

÷ Your DVD changer will recall information read in at the time of registration even when the disc insertion place is changed.

÷ Your changer stores this information for up to 420 discs, which allows you to rotate discs between the changer and another CD player without losing any information read.

6-1-1 The DVD mega-changer can :

÷ Read data from discs containing encoded CD Text infomation, DVD Text (DV-5900M only) information

÷ Store disc and title information you enter using the standard remote, keyboard (DV-5900M only) or LCD

remote*

÷ Allow you to use the read or entered data to select discs.

÷ Allow you to program disc play for custom listening order.

* VR-5700, VR-5080/5090, VR-5900 and KRF-X9995D (Model available may differ depending on the country and sales area.)

The remote control unit of these receiver models can also be used to input titles or display information such as the titles.

The changer reads any data you specify when you play the disc or when you instruct the changer to read all data.

Your DVD changer includes a standard remote and a keyboard remote. (DV-5900M only)

You can use either device to control the changer. For the sake of simplicity, this manual provides standard remote instructions for all functions except text entry.

You can use this internal processing to control various features, such as :

÷ Playing discs of a predefined or user-specified Music Type that you can assign to each disc

See “Listening to music by genre (MUSIC TYPE mode)” Y

÷ Playing discs of a predefined or user-specified User-File that you can assign to each disc

See “Reorganizing discs to desired groups (USER FILE mode)” U

÷ Playing discs by selecting disc titles, either read from CD Text, or DVD Text encoding on the disc or entered

using the standard remote or keyboard (DV-5900M only)

7-4-3 Delay Time Setting

Chapter 7 : Various Setups

Chapter 1

When playing a DVD recorded with Dolby Digital audio, the distances from the listening position to the center and surround speakers should ideally be identical to those of all other speakers except for the subwoofer. The delay time setting makes it possible to compensate for the difference in distances of actual speakers by delaying the audio output from the center speaker and surround speakers so that the sounds from all speakers reach the listening position at the same timing. (The delay time adjustment is available only with Dolby Digital.)

Before starting the speaker setting, see the following figure and measure distance A of the center speaker (A = Df - Dc) and distance B for the surround speakers (B = Df - Ds). The standard delay time settings can be identified based on these values and the following tables.

Ideal center speaker position

8-4 Glossary

Chapter 8 : Other Information

Chapter 1

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) : DVD VIDEO is a disc featuring high video/audio quality, made possible by large recording capacity of video and audio signals of movie software, etc. and by digital signal processing. DVD AUDIO has been desired to provide even higher audio quality than DVD VIDEO by using high-bit, high sampling rate processing.

VIDEO CD (VCD) : This is a CD containing moving picture. By compressing video data to about 1/120 and audio data to about 1/6, a 12 cm disc with the same size as ordinary music CD can store moving pictures and audio for up to about 74 minutes. The VCD includes the P.B.C.-incompatible discs with only the playback capability (Version 1.1) and P.B.C.compatible discs with the menu playback and special playback capabilities (Version 2.0)

MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) (DVD, VCD) :

A digital video and audio compression and decompression system which is standardized as an international standard.

Decoder : A device for restoring standard audio signal from audio data recorded based on coding into DVD data, etc. This processing is referred to as decoding.

Downmixing : Conversion of multichannel audio signals of DVD or DTS-CD into 2-channel stereo signals.

Sampling rate : Sampling refers to converting an analog signal into digital signal by slicing the analog signal into fine parts at a certain time interval and digitizing every sliced part. The sampling rate is the count of slicing per second. The original sound can be reproduced more faithfully when the sampling rate is higher.

Quantization bit : The quantization bit count refers to the number used in digitizing the sliced parts obtained by slicing the analog signal as described above. The quantization bit count is the number of bits used in digitization per second. The original sound can be reproduced more faithfully when the quantization bit count is larger.

Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): Audio signal format without using compression. In the DVD which has a very large disc capacity, the linear PCM signal using high sampling rate can be recorded.

Packed PCM : The packed PCM (P.PCM) signal is obtained by compressing the linear PCM signal featuring large data amount and high sampling rate. With this compression, the signal before compression can be restored perfectly.

Bitstream (DVD) : This is the generic name given for the flow of data based on a standard such as Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, etc.

Dolby Digital : A digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It is compatible with 5.1-channel surround audio as well as 2-channel stereo, and capable of recording a large amount of audio data efficiently in a disc.

DTS : Digital surround system developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

Title/Title No. (DVD VIDEO) : The title is the largest unit of video or audio recorded in DVD VIDEO. Usually, a title corresponding to a movie product with video software or an album (or a piece of music) with music software. The numbers assigned to the titles are referred to as title numbers.

Chapter/Chapter No. (DVD VIDEO) : The chapter is a partition of video or audio that is smaller than the title. A title is composed of multiple chapters. The numbers assigned to the chapters are referred to as chapter numbers.

Group/Group No. (DVD AUDIO) : The group is the largest unit of the contents in DVD AUDIO. Usually, a group corresponds to an album. The numbers assigned to the groups are referred to as group numbers.

Track/Track No. (DVD AUDIO, VCD, CD) : The track is a partition of audio (such as a piece of music or music chapter) in a disc. These partitions are numbered and the numbers are referred to as track numbers. While a track usually corresponds to a piece of music with DVD AUDIO or ordinary music CD, the partitions of contents and track numbers are not always corresponding with VCD. As a result, while all of the playback operations including track skipping and programming of ordinary music CD are based on the track number information, such operations may sometimes be unavailable with VCD.

AVTT (Audio Video Title): Part of DVD AUDIO that contains moving pictures. The audio language, subtitle language and viewing angles in this part can be switched by the user.

AOTT (Audio Only Title): Part of DVD AUDIO that contains audio and still pictures. The audio language and still pictures in this part can be switched by the user.

Subtitle language (DVD): Some DVDs contain the recording of multiple subtitle languages. This player allows the user to select desired one of the recorded subtitle languages during playback of such a DVD.

Angle (DVD): Some DVDs contain the recording of multiple viewing angles. This player allows the user to select desired one of the recorded angles during playback of such a DVD.

Audio language (DVD): Some DVDs contain the

Chapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 5

recording of multiple audio languages. This player allows the user to select desired one of the recorded audio languages during playback of such a DVD.

Aspect ratio : The ratio between the horizontal and vertical sizes of picture displayed on a TV screen. The aspect ratio of ordinary TV is 4:3, and that of widescreen TV is 16:9.

Pan & scan (DVD) : Method of displaying a horizontally-long picture recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio on a 4:3 TV screen by trimming part of picture. In general, the trimming positions for pan & scan are determined uniformly by the reproducing device. However, the pan & scan of DVD allows the software producer to specify the trimming positions to be used in playback.

Letterbox (DVD) : Method of displaying a horizontallylong picture recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio on a 4:3 TV screen by attaching bands at the top and bottom of the screen and displaying the horizontally-long picture at the center of screen.

Frame (DVD, VCD) : Each frame of a moving picture, that is displayed 30 times a second with NTSC and 25 times a second with PAL. These TV formats reproduce moving pictures by displaying still pictures sequentially.

Chapter 6

Field (DVD, VCD) : Part of a frame obtained by dividing the video data of each frame by two. Each frame of ordinary TV is constitute by displaying the fields alternately.

Frame still/Field still (DVD, VCD) : Types of still pictures

Chapter 7

obtained by temporarily stopping a moving picture. The frame still picture may produce blur in the picture because it displays two specific fields alternately, but the picture quality is higher. The field still picture has lower picture quality because it uses half the picture information of frame

Chapter 8

still, but is not accompanies with picture blur.

IPB display (DVD) : With the MPEG2 which is one of the video display methods of DVD, each picture is divided into the following three picture types before being coded in digital signal.

I-picture (Intra coded) : This is the standard video and can constitute a picture by itself. As the highest picture quality can be obtained, the still image of Ipicture is most suitable for use when adjusting the picture quality.

P-picture (Predictive coded) : Picture calculated based on past pictures (I-picture or B-picture).

B-picture (Bidirectionally predictive coded) :

Picture calculated by comparing the previous and next pictures (I-pictures or P-pictures). This picture type contains least amount of video information.

P.B.C. (PlayBack Control) (VCD) : VIDEO CDs carrying messages such as "Playback Control Capable" can be played interactively by selecting the desired play position or information in hierarchical structures while watching the menus displayed on the TV screen.

OSD (On-Screen Display) : OSD is a method of interactive operations using the menus and icons displayed on the TV screen.

On-Screen Message : Message displayed on the TV screen when an operation is performed.

Downconversion : Conversion of PCM signal with high sampling rate such as 96 kHz and 192 kHz into a signal with a sampling rate of 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz.

Dynamic range : Difference between the minimum reproducible audio signal and maximum reproducible audio signal.

Progressive scanning : This is a TV screen scanning method, which scans a screen in order of scanning lines from the first scanning line. It can reduce image flickering in still images containing

characters, graphics and horizontal lines.

Interlace scanning : This is a TV screen scanning method, which scans a screen by dividing it into two fields. It begins scanning with the odd number scanning lines then proceed to the scanning of even number scanning lines to display a single image by making use of the persistence of residual image.

This method is applied in the previous TV formats.

Multi Session : With CD recording, a session refers to an area composed of three recording areas including the lead-in area (which indicates the location of data), data area and lead-out (which indicates the end of session). A CD containing more than one session in a disc is referred to as a multi-session disc.
