Notes on Discs

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) offers fantastic audio and video, thanks to Dolby Digital
surround sound and MPEG-2 video compression technology. Now you can enjoy these realistic effects in the home, as if you were in a movie theater or concert hall.
DVD players and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in order for the disc to play. If the codes do not match, the disc will not play. The Region Number for this player is given on the rear panel of the player.
(Your DVD player will only play DVDs that are labeled with identical region codes.)

PREPARATION
Disc Recording Format
CD-R Discs
Depending on the disc recording device (CD-Recorder or PC ) and the condition of the disc, some CD-R discs
may not be playable. Use a 650MB/74 minute CD-R. Avoid CD-R media, as they may not be playable.
If possible, do not use CD-RW (Rewritable) media, as they may not be playable.
Only CD-Rs that are properly "closed" can be fully played. If the session is closed but the disc is left open,
you may not be able to fully play the disc.
CD-R MP3 Discs
Only CD-R discs with MP3 files in ISO 9660 or Joliet format can be played.
MP3 file names should be 8 characters or less in length and contain no blank spaces or special characters (. / = +).
Use discs recorded with a compression/decompression data rate greater than 128Kbps.
Only files with the ".mp3" and ".MP3" extensions can be played.
Only a consecutively written Multi session disc can be played. If there is a blank segment in the Multi session disc,
the disc can be played only up to the blank segment. If the disc is not closed, it will take longer to begin playback and not all of the recorded files may be played.
For files encoded in Variable Bit Rate (VBR) format, i.e. files encoded in both low bit rate and high bit rate (e.g.,
32Kbps ~ 320Kbps), the sound may skip during playback. If more than 500 tracks are recorded on a single CD, a maximum of 500 tracks can be played.
If more than 300 folders are recorded on a single CD, a maximum of 300 folders can be played.
What is MP3?
MP3 is short for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and MPEG is an acronym for Moving Pictures Experts Group. MP3 is a file format with compression ratio of 1:12 (128 Kbps*) That is, you can use MP3 format to record about 12 times the usual amount of data on a regular CD.
CD-R JPEG Discs
Only files with the ".jpeg" and ".JPEG" extensions can be played.
If the disc is not closed, it will take longer to start playing and not all of the recorded files may be played.
Only CD-R discs with JPEG files in ISO 9660 or Joliet format can be played.
JPEG file names should be 8 characters or less in length and contain no blank spaces or special characters (. / = +).
Only a consecutively written multi session disc can be played. If there is a blank segment in the multi session disc, the
disc can be played only up to the blank segment. A maximum of 9,999 images can be stored on a single CD.
When playing a Kodak/Fuji Picture CD, only the JPEG files in the picture folder can be played.
Picture discs other than Kodak/Fuji Picture CDs may take longer to start playing or may not play at all.

Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
Position of the DVD Player
Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under
the TV stand.
Front Speakers
Place these speakers in front of your listening
position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you. Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at
the same height as your ear. Align the front face of the front speakers with the
front face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers.
Center Speaker
It is best to install it at the same height as the front
speakers. You can also install it directly over or under the TV.
11
Selecting the Listening Position
The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the TV. Example : For 32" TVs 2~2.4m (6~8feet)
For 55" TVs 3.5~4m (11~13feet)
Rear Speakers
Place these speakers behind your listening position.
If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each other.
Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear, facing slightly
downward.
Unlike the front and center speakers, the rear speakers are used to

any signals. See page 14 to select Progressive Scan.

P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function

Unlike regular Interlace Scan, in which two fields of picture information are alternated to create the entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture without visible scan lines.
While the player is in the Stop mode, hold the P.SCAN button down for longer than 5 second.
Pressing and holding the button for over 5 seconds will select "Progressive Scan" and "Interlace Scan"
repetitively.
What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?
CONNECTIONS
Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)
In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field contains every other horizontal line in the frame. The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame. One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are displayed every 1/60th of a second. The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing a still object.
This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Pr, Pb, Y,) that support Progressive
Note
Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive scan TVs.) Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.
Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)
The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of video consecutively down the screen, line by line. An entire image is drawn at one time, as opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a video image is drawn in a series of passes. The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing with moving objects.
Selecting the Video Format
Press and hold NTSC/PAL button on the remote controller for over 5 seconds while the power is turned off.
"NTSC" or "PAL" will appear in the display.
At this time, press the NTSC/PAL button shortly to select between "NTSC" and "PAL". Each country has a different video format standard.
For normal playback, the video format of the disc must be the same as the video format of your TV.
