Notes about CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/ DVD-RW/DVD+R/DVD+RW

In some cases, CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/ DVD+R/DVD+RW cannot be played on this system due to the recording qua lity or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device and authoring software.

The disc will not play if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, see the operating instructions for the recording device.

Note that discs created in the Packet Write format cannot be played.

Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies

This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.

Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.

Note on DualDisc

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

Note about DVD-RW (Except for U.S./Canadian/European models)

Images in DVD-RWs with CPRM* protection may not be played if they contain a copy protection signal. “Copyright lock” appears on the screen.

Note on PBC (Playback

)

Control) (VIDEO CDs)

This system conforms to Ver. 1.1 and Ver. 2.0 of VIDEO CD standards. You can enjoy two kinds of playback depending on the disc type.

Disc type You can

VIDEO CDs without PBC functions (Ver. 1.1 discs)

VIDEO CDs with PBC functions (Ver. 2.0 discs)

Enjoy video playback (moving pictures) as well as music.

Play interactive software using menu screens displayed on the TV screen (PBC Playback), in addition to the video playback functions of Ver. 1.1 discs. Moreover, you can play highresolution still pictures, if they are included on the disc.

About Multi Session CD

• This system can play Multi Session CDs when an MP3 audio track is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• This system can play Multi Session CDs when a JPEG image file is contained in the first session. Any subsequent JPEG image files recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

• If audio tracks and images in music CD format or video CD format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.

About the Super Audio CD

Super Audio CD is a new high-quality audio disc standard where music is recorded in the DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format (conventional CDs are recorded in the PCM format). The DSD format, using a sampling frequency 64 times higher than that of a conventional CD, and with 1-bit quantization, achieves both a wide frequency range and a wide dynamic range across the audible frequency range, and so provides music reproduction extremely faithful to the original sound.

Types of Super Audio CDs

There are two types of discs, depending on the Super Audio CD layer and CD layer combination.

• Super Audio CD layer*: A high-density signal layer for Super Audio CD

•CD layer*

: A layer that is readable by a

conventional CD player

Single layer disc (a disc with a single Super Audio CD layer)

Super Audio CD layer

Hybrid disc* (a disc with an Super Audio CD layer and a CD layer

*1 You can play the CD layer on a conventional CD

player.

*2 Since both layers are on one side, it is not necessary

to turn the disc over.

*3 To select a layer, see “Selecting a Playback layer for

a Super Audio CD” (page 46).

About DVD software types and the conversion method

DVD software can be divided into 2 types: film-based software and video-based software. Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Film-based software is derived from film and displays images at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film. In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in progressive format, the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are watching.

Note

• When you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Even though you set to “PROGRESSIVE AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO,” images from the MONITOR OUT (VIDEO/ S VIDEO) /EURO AV T OUTPUT (TO TV) jacks are unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.

• If you set [LINE] in [SCREEN SETUP] to [RGB] (page 82), the system switches to “INTERLACE.” This will happen even though you select “PROGRESSIVE AUTO” or “PROGRESSIVE VIDEO.”

• If you set [LINE] in [SCREEN SETUP] to [RGB] (page 82), the system outputs no component video signals.

If you connect a digital satellite receiver with a DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack

The digital satellite receiver can be connected to the VIDEO 1/SAT 1 OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL IN or VIDEO 2/SAT 2 COAXIAL DIGITAL IN jack instead of the VIDEO 1/SAT1 or VIDEO 2/SAT2 AUDIO IN jacks of the system. The system can accept both the digital and analogue signals. Digital signals have priority over analogue signals. If the digital signal ceases, the analogue signal will be processed after 2 seconds.

If you connect a digital satellite receiver without a DIGITAL OUT jack

Connect the digital satellite receiver to the VIDEO 1/SAT1 or VIDEO 2/SAT2 AUDIO IN jacks only of the system.

Note

• The DIGITAL OUT jack outputs audio signals only when DVD function is selected (by pressing FUNCTION repeatedly until “DVD” appears in the front panel display). (CDs, DVDs only)

• When you play a DVD, connected components that do not accept Dolby Digital, DTS, etc., may cause noise.
