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.

Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion and unwanted acoustical effects.

Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltage

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.

DVD-R

DVD-R discs

Panasonic DVD-R recorded and finalized on a Panasonic DVD video recorder are played as DVD-Video on this unit. It may not be possible to play these discs in all cases due to the type of disc or condition of the recording.

Page 5

RQT6523

Before use

You can play discs with these symbols.

DVD audio formats

DVDs may be recorded monaurally or stereophonically instead of with multiple channels. So, for example, audio recorded with Dolby Surround, a stereo format found on DVDs and other media, will be played only through the front speakers.

DVDs that can be played

This unit can play CD-DA (digital audio) and video CD format audio CD-R and CD-RW that have been finalized upon completion of recording. It may not be able to play some CD-R or CD-RW due to the condition of the recording.

Finalizing is a process that enables CD-R/CD-RW players to play audio CD-R and CD-RW.

Disc information

MP3 playback

You can use this unit to play MP3 format audio recorded for personal use with a computer etc. onto CD-R or CD-RW. Play may not be possible in some cases due to the condition of the recording.

Discs recorded using MP3 differ to CDs in the following ways. ¡Structure of the disc

MP3 files are treated as chapters and folders (albums) are treated as titles.

¡Display during play a ¡On-Screen Menu Icons for disc information during play b ¡Starting play from a selected chapter

Press the numbered buttons and press [ENTER]. Example: Chapter 23: [2] / [3] / [ENTER] (Pressing [≥10/-/--] is unnecessary.)

¡Repeat play

You can use chapter repeat or title repeat.

¡Program play, random play

You cannot use program play or random play.

¡If you play an MP3 track that includes still picture data, it will take

some time before the music itself starts playing and the elapsed time will not be displayed during this time. Even after the track starts, the correct play time will not be displayed.

¡The time information may not be displayed correctly. ¡If both MP3 and CD-DA data is recorded on the disc, only the

data type used for the first track is played.

¡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.

¡This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags and packet-write format. ¡This unit is not compatible with files with a sampling rate of

32 kHz.

Glossary

Frame

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. There are about thirty frames shown each second.

Field

One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields one after the other to create frames.

Frame still and field still

A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so picture quality is lower.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD, codes frames using these three picture types. I: Intra coded picture (I-picture) This is the standard picture and is a complete picture in itself. This means it has the best picture quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture. P: Predictive coded picture (P-picture) This picture is calculated based on past I and P-pictures. B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture (B-picture) This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and Ppictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Video

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. The signals are highly compressed, enabling a large amount of information to be recorded on one disc.

Digital Theater Systems (DTS) Digital Surround

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Digital Theater Systems. The signals are compressed at a low ratio to maintain sound quality.

Sampling frequency

This is the number of samples of sound taken per second during conversion to a digital signal. Sampling frequency is expressed in kilohertz (kHz). A high sampling frequency results in a sound close to the original when played back.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

PCM is the usual digital method used for music CDs. DVDs have a greater volume so they use linear PCM, which has a higher sampling rate. The compressed version of this is called Packed PCM (PPCM).

Bitstream

This is the digital form of multiple channel audio data (e.g.,

5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Digital audio

Track

This is the smallest division on DVD-Audio, CDs and Video CDs and usually equates to a single song.

Chapter

This is the smallest division on DVD-Video and is roughly equivalent to a track.

Group

The tracks on DVD-Audio are divided up into groups. The method of grouping depends on the disc.

Title

This is the largest division on DVD-Video.

Playback control (PBC)

This method of controlling disc play is included on version 2.0 Video CDs. You are able to interact with the disc through menus.

MP3

MP3 refers to the type of music file that is compressed using MPEG 1 audio layer 3. A method of compressing audio, MPEG Audio Layer 3 (MP3) allows audio to be reduced to up to one tenth its original size without overtly hurting audio quality.
