Disc structure

(For DVD VIDEO)
A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of "titles" and each title may be divided into some "chapters". For example, if a DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO KARAOKE disc, each song usually has its own title number and does not have chapters. Title 1 Title 2
Care and handling of discs

How to handle discs

When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the player to malfunction.

To resume playback

When the resume mode is set to "DISC RESUME"
While stopped, or no disc is inserted
1 Press 0 OPEN/CLOSE to insert a disc whose interrupted position is memorized.
After loading the disc, the display window on the front panel shows "----RESUME." If a disc for which you want to resume playback is already set in the disc tray, you need not to follow the step 1.

2 Press 3.

The display window shows "RESUME PLAY" and the unit resumes playback from the position you interrupted playback. The unit keeps the memory for the position on a disc where you interrupted playback, even though you remove the disc from the disc tray and set it back again. Of course, the unit keeps the memory when the disc remains in the disc tray since the last playback. To play back a disc from the beginning (instead of the interrupted position) After loading the disc, press 7 before pressing 3 to start playback. Pressing 7 while the disc is stopped clears the memory for the interrupted position. Every time you interrupt playback, the position is memorized as the "resuming" point.
When the resume mode is set to "ON"
While the disc you interrupted playback last time* is still on the disc tray (*By pressing 7 or by turning off the power.)
The unit resumes playback from the position you interrupted playback. If you press 3 then 7, the unit starts playback after the display window shows "RESUME PLAY". Note that you cannot resume playback if you interrupted playback last time by opening the tray. To play back a disc from the beginning (instead of the interrupted position) Carry out any of the followings: * Press 7 while stopped, then press 3. * Turn on the unit by pressing DVD STANDBY/ON on the remote control unit or STANDBY/ON panel then press 3. NOTES
If you change the "RESUME" setting on the "OTHERS" preference display to "OFF" or "ON" from "DISC RESUME", you cannot resume playback of a disc whose "resuming" position is memorized. However, if you again set "RESUME" to "DISC RESUME", you can resume playback of the disc. If you open the tray during RESUME mode is set to ON, the "resuming" point clears. The resume function cannot be performed with Audio CD, MP3 and JPEG discs. In the case of a Video CD/SVCD disc with PBC function, the unit may resume playback from a point slightly earlier or later than the point you interrupt playback last time. The unit may not resume playback exactly from the interrupted point, depending on the point. For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the unit regards each side as a different disc. Therefore, when resuming playback of such a disc, make sure to set the disc with the resumed side down. When the unit memorizes the interrupted point of a disc, it also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings (regardless of whether "RESUME" is set to "DISC RESUME" or "ON"). If you interrupt playback while the menu for a DVD VIDEO, SVCD or Video CD is shown on the TV screen, the unit may not memorize the interrupted position correctly, regardless of whether the "RESUME" mode is set to "ON" or "DISC RESUME".

The unit can play back MP3 files on a private CD-R/RW disc or commercial CD. We refer to a disc that contains MP3 file as an "MP3 disc" in this manual. Though available functions with MP3 discs are limited, operations for the available functions are similar to those with Audio CD discs. Note that, if a disc contains both of MP3 and JPEG files, you can only play back files of either type selected by the MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display.(See page 50.)
NOTES for making a private MP3 disc using a CD-R/CD-RW disc:
Select "ISO 9660" as the disc format. Finalize the disc after completing recording. We recommend to record a material at 44.1-kHz Fs and at the 128-kbps data transfer rate.

English English English

The unit does not support "packet write" discs. The unit does not support the ID3 tag. If the disc is recorded with multiple sessions, the unit supports up to five sessions. Some discs may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording condition. The unit does not output a digital audio signal from DIGITAL OUT when playing back a MP3 disc. You cannot playback Tracks in the desired (programmed) or random order.

What is MP3?

"MP3" stands for "MPEG Audio Layer-3", and is the part of the MPEG standard. It can store high quality stereo audio using very little space by only saving the audible sounds and discarding the sounds your ears won't pick up. A CD can store up to around 10 hours of MP3 audio, which is 10 times as much as Audio CD. NOTE
The unit only can play back Tracks with any of the following file extensions; ".MP3", ".Mp3", ".mp3" and ".mP3". Time required for reading the disc contents differs with discs, depending on the numbers of Groups (folders) and Tracks (files) recorded, etc. While an MP3 disc is loaded, you cannot bring up any preference display. (See page 47.)

About MP3 disc

On an MP3 disc, each material (song) is recorded on a file. Files are sometimes grouped into a folder by artist, album, category, etc. In addition, a folder can be a member of another folder, creating hierarchical folder layers. If you are familiar with a personal computer, you may easily understand the hierarchical file/folder construction of MP3 discs. This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages files and folders by "Tracks" and "Groups" in the following manners. Each file is regarded as a Track. A folder which has one or more files (Tracks) is regarded as a Group. A folders' folder which does not manage any file directly is ignored. Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into "Group 1". The unit recognizes up to 150 Tracks per Group, and up to 99 Groups per disc. It ignores those exceeding the maximum numbers and cannot play back them. If there is any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder. those files are also counted down from the total number of 150.
Group 1 Group 2 up to 99 Groups per disc

The unit can play back JPEG files on a private CD-R/RW disc. We refer to a disc that contains JPEG files as a "JPEG disc" in this manual. Note that, if a disc contains both of MP3 and JPEG files, you can only play back files of either type selected by the MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display (See page 50).
NOTES for making a private JPEG disc using a CD-R/CD-RW disc:
Select "ISO 9660" as the disc format. Finalize the disc after completing recording. We recommend to record a material at "640 x 480" resolution. The unit supports only the baseline JPEG type, therefore, it cannot display pictures of the other types (progressive and lossless). If a JPEG disc contains JPEG files of non-baseline type, the unit recognizes those files as JPEG files. the JPEG CONTROL display and the display window shows the information of the contents (filename, file number, etc.), but you cannot show the still pictures of those files (the TV screen appears only in black.)

What is JPEG?

"JPEG" is an abbreviation for the Joint Photographic Experts Group and is an image format that utilizes a compression technique. There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows. baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, web, etc. progressive JPEG: used for web lossless JPEG: an old type and rarely used now The unit supports only the baseline JPEG type, therefore, it cannot display pictures of the other types (progressive and lossless). If a JPEG disc contains JPEG files of non-baseline type, the unit recognizes those files as JPEG files, the JPEG CONTROL display and the display window shows the information of the contents (filename, file number, etc.), but you cannot show the still pictures of those files (the TV screen appears only in black.)
