Tips for making WMA/MP3/JPEG and MPEG4 discs (For CD-R/CD-RW)

Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended formats).

≥ ≥This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of

sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.

≥When there are more than 8 groups, the eighth group onwards will be

displayed on one vertical line in the menu screen.

≥There may be differences in the display order on the menu screen and

computer screen.

≥This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.

Naming folders and files (Files are treated as content and folders are treated as groups on this unit.)

At the time of recording, prefix folder and file names. This should be with numbers that have an equal number of digits, and should be done in the order you want to play them (this may not work at times). Files must have the extension: “.WMA” or “.wma” “.MP3” or “.mp3” “.JPG”, “.jpg”, “.JPEG” or “.jpeg” “.ASF” or “.asf”

[JPEG]

≥To view JPEG files on this unit: – Take them on a digital camera that meets the DCF Standard (Design

rule for Camera File system) Version 1.0. Some digital cameras have functions that are not supported by the DCF Standard Version 1.0 like

automatic picture rotation which may render a picture unviewable. – Do not alter the files in any way or save them under a different name. ≥This unit cannot display moving pictures, MOTION JPEG and other

such formats, still pictures other than JPEG (e.g. TIFF) or play pictures with attached audio.

[MPEG4]

≥You can play MPEG4 data [conforming to SD VIDEO specifications

(ASF standard)/MPEG4 (Simple Profile) video system/G.726 audio system] recorded with the Panasonic SD multi cameras or DVD video recorders with this unit.

Disc handling

∫ To clean discs

DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, Video CD, SVCD and CD

Wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.

DVD-RAM and DVD-R

≥Clean with an optional DVD-RAM/PD disc cleaner (LF-K200DCA1, where available). ≥Never use cloths or cleaners for CDs, etc.

∫ Handling precautions

≥Do not attach labels or stickers to discs (This may cause disc warping, rendering it unusable). ≥Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing instrument. ≥Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent. ≥Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers. ≥Do not use the following discs:

– Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or labels (rented discs etc). – Discs that are badly warped or cracked. – Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart shapes.

Safety precautions

Placement

Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby shortening the unit’s service life. Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltag e

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit and cause a fire. Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.

AC mains lead protection

Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead. Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC mains lead can cause electric shock. Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric shock.

Glossary

CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media)

A copy protection system used for DVD-Audio files. This unit supports CPPM.

Down-mixing

This is a process of remixing the multi-channel audio (surround sound) on some discs into two channels. When you want to listen to the audio on a DVD with a 5.1 channel digital surround track through your television speakers, the down-mixed audio will be output. Some DVD-Audio prevent down-mixing of all or part of their contents. When playing such discs, or such parts of the disc, unless the number of connected speakers is the same as the disc’s channel specification, audio will not be output properly.

HDCD (High-Definiton Compatible Digital)

HDCD-encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with 20 bits, as compared with 16 bits for all other CDs.

Foreign matter

Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric shock or malfunction. Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the power supply and contact your dealer. Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

Service

Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock or damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by unqualified persons.

Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power source if it is not to be used for a long time.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic products. Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports highdefinition video output [750 (720)p, 1125 (1080)i] from HDMI AV OUT terminal. To enjoy high-definition video a high definition compatible television is required.

MPEG4

A compression system for use on mobile devices or a network, that allows highly efficient recording at a low bit rate.

Sampling frequency

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.
