Notes about playback operations of a DVD or VIDEO CD

Some playback operations on a DVD or VIDEO CD may be intentionally set by software producers.

MPEG4 video file “.mp4” or “.m4v”

* USB device only.

The system will attempt to play any data with the extensions above, even if it is not in MP3/WMA/ AAC/JPEG/MPEG4 format. Playing this data may generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.

• The following can increase the time it takes to start playback:

– when a DATA CD/DATA DVD/USB device is recorded with a complicated tree structure.

• Folders that have no audio files, JPEG image files, or video files are skipped.

• Compatibility with all MP3/WMA/AAC encoding/writing software, recording devices, and recording media cannot be guaranteed.

• Compatibility with all MPEG4 video encoding/writing software, recording devices, and recording media cannot be guaranteed.

• The playback order may not be applicable depending on the software used for creating the audio file, JPEG image file, or video file, or if there are more than 200 folders or 150 files in each folder.

Note

• The system can accept both digital and analog signals. Digital signals have priority over analog signals. (COAXIAL has priority over OPTICAL.) If the digital signal ceases, the analog signal will be processed after a few seconds.

Tip

• You can connect another component, such as a VCR, digital satellite receiver, or PlayStation, to the TV/CABLE jacks instead of your TV.
