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 Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.

Notes on CD-R/-RW and

DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW

In some cases, CD-Rs/-RWs and DVD-Rs/-RWs/+Rs/+RWs cannot be played back on this system due to the recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the recording device and authoring software. The disc will not be played back if it has not been correctly finalized. For more information, see the operation instructions for the recording device.

Note that some playback functions may not work with some DVD+RWs/ +Rs, even if they have been correctly finalized. In this case, view the disc by normal playback.

A disc created in Packet Write format cannot be played back.

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.

Notes on Multi Session disc

This system can play back Multi Session discs when an MP3 audio track (or a JPEG image file) is contained in the first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks (or JPEG image files) recorded in later sessions can also be played back.

If the first session is recorded in AUDIO CD or VIDEO CD format, only the first session will be played back.

The system will recognize a Multi Session disc as an AUDIO CD if there is a session recorded in AUDIO CD format on the disc. However, the system will only play back the disc if the first session is recorded in AUDIO CD format.

Tip

For higher quality video images:

Use the optional component video cords to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO input jacks on your TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks of this unit. If your TV is compatible with progressive format file signals, use this connection and press

PROGRESSIVE on the unit repeatedly until “P AUTO” or “P VIDEO” appears in the display (page 16).

You can use an optional S Video cord to connect the S VIDEO input jack on your TV to the S VIDEO OUT jack of this unit.

Changing the format of the video signal output from COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks

Progressive is a method for displaying TV images that reduces flickering and sharpens the image. To use this method, you need to connect to a TV that can accept progressive signals.

You can output video signals from COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks in INTERLACE or PROGRESSIVE format.

1Press FUNCTION +/

repeatedly to select “DVD” (or press DVD on the unit).

2Press PROGRESSIVE on the unit repeatedly.

Select “P AUTO” or “P VIDEO” if your TV accepts progressive signals and the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. Otherwise, select “INTERLACE”.

P AUTO (PROGRESSIVE AUTO):

The system automatically detects the software type and selects the appropriate conversion method.

18GB

P VIDEO (PROGRESSIVE VIDEO):

The system fixes the conversion method to PROGRESSIVE VIDEO for video-based software.

Select this if the image is not clear when you select “P AUTO”.

About DVD VIDEO software types and the conversion method

The DVD VIDEO software can be divided into 2 types:

Film-based software

Film-based software is derived from film and displays the images at 24 frames per second.

Video-based software

Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sitcoms and displays images at 30 frames or 60 fields per second.

Some DVD VIDEO contains both types of software. In order for these images to appear in your TV naturally when the video output is in progressive format, the progressive signals need to be converted to match your DVD VIDEO software.

Note

There would be no image on your TV or the image is not clear if your setting does not match your TV or connection.
