3D Surround Effects

This unit can produce a 3D Surround effect, using 3D Surround Sound technology, which simulates multichannel audio playback from two conventional stereo speakers instead of the five or more speakers normally required to listen to multi-channel audio from a home theater.This feature works with DVD discs encoded with Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital audio tracks.

NOTES:

•

This 3D Surround effect may not be available on some DVD discs, such as those recorded with a mono audio soundtrack.

•

Turn off the TV surround sound and other surround effects when using this 3D surround effect.

• For the best 3D Surround effect using only two speakers, it is recommended that the two speakers be positioned approximately 2 m to 2.5 m apart, and that the listening position be 2 m to

2.5 m away from the speakers.

3D Surround Effect works only when you connect a PHONES connector or AUDIO IN/OUT.

Notes on MP3 Recordings

About MP3



An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme.We call files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.



The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.

MP3 disc compatibility with this player is

limited as follows:

1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1 kHz

2. Bit rate / within 32-320 kbps CBR (Constant Bit Rate)

3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”

4. Discs created in the Packet Write format cannot be played.

5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.

6. File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate “.mp3” extension e.g. “********.MP3”.

7. Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ” etc.

8. Total number of files on the disc should be less than 650.

This DVD player requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files). that require certain preexisting conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.

9. VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not supported



Total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 650.



Some disc may be incompatible due to different recording format or condition of the disc.

 Ensure that all the selected files have the “.jpg”

extensions when copying to the CD.

 If the files have “.jpe” or “.jpeg” extensions, please

rename them as “.jpg” files.

 File names without “.jpg” extension will not be able

to be read by this DVD player. even though the files are shown as JPEG image files in windows explorer.

Sampling Frequency

To change the Sample Frequency setting, first select the desired digital audio output type as indicated on page 51. If your A/V receiver or surround processor is NOT capable of handling 96kHz signals, select the 48kHz option. When this choice is made, this unit will automatically convert any 96kHz signals to a 48kHz output so that your system is capable of decoding them. If your A/V receiver or surround processor is capable of handling 96kHz signals, select the 96kHz option. When this choice is made, this unit will pass each type of signal through without any further processing.

NOTES:

•

When you are not using the player’s digital audio output, don’t select any of the options.

•

If an active digital audio output signal is supplied to a receiver or other equipment without a corresponding digital decoding capability, a very loud noise may be produced which could permanently damage the speakers.

•

The DTS DVD disc sound is played back only when the DVD player is connected to a receiver with a DTS decoder.

About DRC (Dynamic Range Compression)

With the DVD format you have the opportunity to hear a program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to the use of digital audio technology. However, in certain instances you may wish to slightly compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones) so that you may listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing dialogue intelligibility.

NOTES:

•

The DRC function works only during playback of Dolby Digital recorded discs.

•

The level of Dynamic Range Compression may differ depending on the DVD disc.

•

When playing karaoke, connect appropriate audio equipment (such as an amplifier) to the DVD video player.
