•This unit will play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in CD Audio or Video CD format, or as a CD-ROM containing MP3 audio files. However, any other content may cause the disc not to play, or create noise/distortion in the output.
•This unit cannot record CD-R or CD-RW discs.
•Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs recorded as CD Audio can be played, but the full Table of Contents (playing time, etc.) will not be displayed.
DVD-R/RW Compatibility
•This unit will play DVD-R/RW discs that were recorded using the DVD Video format or Video Recording format.
•This unit cannot record DVD-R/RW discs.
•Unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played in this player.
Compressed Audio Compatibility
•This unit will play CD-ROM discs containing files saved in the MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format (MP3) with a sampling rate of
44.1 or 48kHz. Incompatible files will not play and “UNPLAYABLE” will be displayed.
•Fixed bit-rate files are recommended. Variable bit-rate (VBR) files are playable, but playing time may not be shown correctly.
•The CD-ROM used to compile your MP3 files must be ISO 9660 Level 2 compliant.
•CD physical format: Mode1, Mode2 XA Form1.

PC Created Disc Compatibility
•If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a “compatible format” as listed above, there will be cases in which the disc may not be playable in this machine due to the setting of the application software used to create the disc.

Using the on-screen displays
For ease of use, this player makes extensive use of graphical on-screen displays (OSDs). You should get used to the way these work as you’ll need to use them when setting up the player, using some of the playback features, such as program play, and when making more advanced settings for audio and video.

Playing discs
The basic playback controls for playing DVD, CD, SACD, Video CD and MP3 discs are covered here. Further functions are detailed in the next chapter.
Throughout this manual, the term ‘DVD’ means any kind of DVD disc (DVD-Video, DVD-Audio or DVD-R/RW).
1Press 0TRAY OPEN/CLOSE to switch the system on, open the front panel door and disc tray.
If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, also turn on your TV and make sure that it is set to the correct video input.
2Load a disc.
Load a disc with the label side facing up, using the disc tray guide to align the disc.
3 Press 3(6) to close the disc tray and start playback.
The display shows what kind of disc you’ve loaded.
If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, a menu may appear. See pages 27, 28 for how to navigate these.
If you’re playing an MP3 disc, it may take a few seconds before playback starts, depending on the complexity of the file structure on the disc.
•After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds!
Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your player. The region number should be printed on the disc; check it against the region number of the player (which you can find on the rear panel). See also page 13.
If the region number is OK, it may be that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc and look for signs of damage. See also pages 79–80.
•There’s no picture!
Check that the TV is set to the video input that you connected this system to. For example, if you connected it to VIDEO 1, make sure you have VIDEO 1 selected on your TV.
US model: See Troubleshooting on page 82 for possible causes.
•Why won’t the disc I loaded play?
First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that it’s clean and not damaged. See pages 79–80 for information on cleaning discs.
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-ROM. See page 11 for more on disc compatibility.

•I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play some discs?
Some movie formats are such that even when played on a widescreen TV, black bars are necessary at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.
•I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the player to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so why do I still get black bars top and bottom with some discs?
Some discs override the display preferences of the player, so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those discs will still be shown in letterbox format. This is not a malfunction.
•Why can’t I hear DVD-Audio and SACD audio through the digital outputs?
DVD-Audio and SACD audio is only available through the analog outputs. This is not a malfunction.
•My CD with MP3 tracks won’t play!
Make sure that the tracks are encoded in MPEG1 audio layer 3 format. See also
Compressed Audio Compatibility on page 12.
•Some MP3 tracks don’t show up. Where are they?
Filenames that don’t end with the extension “.mp3” won’t be recognized by this player. Also, if there are more than 250 folders or tracks on the disc, only the first 250 are recognized.
•My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then suddenly stops!
The disc may have been illegally copied.

DVD disc menus
Many DVD-Video and DVD-Audio discs contain menus from which you can select what you want to watch or listen to. They may give access to additional features, such as subtitle and audio language selection, or special features such as slideshows. See the disc packaging for details.
Sometimes menus are displayed automatically when you start playback; others only appear when you press DVD MENU.
•Some DVD-Audio discs feature a bonus group. To access this group you have to input a password which you can find on the disc packaging. See pages 66–67 for more information.

Introduction
Most of the features described in this chapter make use of on-screen displays. For an explanation of how to navigate these, see
Using the on-screen displays on page 24.
Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD and SACD discs, Video CDs, CDs and MP3 discs, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded.
Some DVD discs restrict the use of some functions (random or repeat, for example). This is not a malfunction.
When playing Video CDs, some of the functions are not available during PBC playback. If you want to use them, start the disc playing using a number button to select
atrack.
•To access functions printed in green on the remote, move the slider switch from
MAIN to SUB.
