separate external amplifier.

Built-in Dolby Pro Logic II decoder

Dolby Pro Logic II can decode and playback in 5.1 channel sound DVD videos recorded with the sound on 2 channels, music CDs, MP3 files, radio or virtually any stereo source. This player allows you to select from the 3 modes of MOVIE, MUSIC or MATRIX. In addition, in MUSIC mode, you can adjust the 3 parameters of PANORAMA, DIMENSION and CENTER WIDTH. (page 44)

Product Servicing

If the suggestions in the charts do not solve the problem, we recommend that you take it to your nearest authorized Panasonic Servicenter. The product should be serviced only by a qualified technician.

Replacing the Fuse

Use fuses of the same specified rating (10 A). Using different substitutes or fuses with higher ratings, or connecting the unit directly without a fuse, could cause fire or damage to the unit.

If the replacement fuse fails, contact your nearest Panasonic Servicenter for service.

Notes on MP3

■ What is MP3?

MP3 (abbreviation for MPEG Audio Layer 3) is an audio compression technology format. By such processing as shaving off sound registers that cannot be heard by human ears and sounds that cannot be heard because they are buried by large sounds, audio can be compressed while still maintaining the sound quality. Since files can be compressed to approximately 1/10th the size of the original file, music files equivalent to the amount on 10 music CDs can be written onto a single disc. (When the files are converted to MP3 files at [bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz] and written to a 650 MB CD-R/RW disc.)

■ What formats can be played back?

CD-R/RW discs that are compliant with ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2, Joliet and Romeo (extension formats), or ISO9660 Apple extension formats can be played.

≥ UDF, Apple HFS and Rock Ridge formats are not supported.

≥ What is the ISO9660 format?

This is a logical format for files and folders. (international standard) The ISO9660 format has the following restrictions on the number of characters that can be used. For details, please see the user’s manual for the writing software.

Level File Names

Level 1 8.3 format

(8 characters or less of one byte English upper case letters, one byte numbers or “_”, plus the extension)

Level 2

≥ What is the extension format?

Joliet and Romeo are logical formats for files and folders used on Windows, whereas the ISO9660 Apple extension is used on Macintosh computers. These formats have the following restrictions on the number of characters that can be used. For details, please see the user’s manual for the writing software.

Notes

≥ Encoding software and writing software are not included with this player. ≥ Sound quality during playback will differ depending on the conditions at the time of conversion. For details,

please see the user’s manual for the encoding software.

≥ Discs written with multi-session and discs containing a mixture of different data formats (such as discs in

which MP3 is mixed with Mixed Mode CD, CD-Extra or CD-DA) may not be able to be played back properly. Also, discs written using the packet write format may not be able to be played back properly. Panasonic recommends using “Disc At Once” for writing discs.

≥ Discs may not play properly or characters may not be displayed properly depending on the writing software

and drive used, or on the combination used. Also, if conditions for writing to the disc are poor, there may be breaks in the sound or noise may occur.

≥ Always attach the “mp3 (MP3)” extension to MP3 files. When other extensions are used, or no extension is

used, you will not be able to playback those files.

≥ It may take time before playback starts for discs with a lot of tiers or a complex structure. Please do not

write non-MP3 files and unnecessary folders to the disc.

≥ Because the writing software may rearrange the files and folders when writing to the disc, the playback order

may not be as desired. Also, the playback order may differ even for the same disc depending on the player used. In some cases, you may be able to specify the playback order by using 3-digit numbers “001” ~ “255” (or 2-digit numbers) at the beginning of the file name.

≥ M3U play lists are not supported. ≥ WMA and MP3 PRO are not supported.

Except for one’s personal enjoyment of the copyrighted material, such as music, copying (recording), distribution and delivery of discs without the permission of the copyright owner is prohibited by copyright laws.

Notes on Disc

Notes on CD-Rs/RWs

≥ You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/

RW discs recorded on CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints, scratches, etc. on the disc surface.

≥ CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high tem-

peratures and high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them inside a car for extended periods may damage them and make playback impossible.

≥ The unit may not successfully play back a CD-R/

RW that was made by the combination of writing software, a CD recorder (CD-R/RW drive) and a disc if they are incompatible one another.

≥ This unit cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the

session is not closed.

≥ This unit cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which

contains other than CD-DA or MP3 data (video CD, etc. ).

≥ Be sure to observe the instructions of CD-R/RW

disc for handling it.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

dts

This format requires more data than Dolby Digital, and provides higher quality surround playback. Similar to Dolby Digital, this fully discrete format divides the music signals into 5.1 channels: Front Left (L), Front Right (R), Center (C), Left Surround (LS), Right Surround (RS) and Subwoofer (SW: 0.1 channel) for recording and playback.
