Glossary

Chapter (page 38) Sections of a picture or a music feature that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Depending on the disc, no chapters may be recorded. Dolby Digital (pages 62 and 67) Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data are recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital. Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 62) Audio signal processing technology that Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound. When the input signal contains a surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front, center and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural. DTS (page 67) Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital audio. Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital. DVD (page 6) A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and doublesided DVD is 9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided DVD is 17GB. The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its original size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD. DVD-RW (page 6) A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The DVD-RW has two different modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVD-RWs created in Video mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited. DVD+RW (page 6) A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO format.

Interlace format Interlace format shows every other line of an image as a single field and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image. Progressive format (pages 65 and 70) Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 30 frames/60 fields in one second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper. This player is compatible with the 480 progressive format. Title (page 38) The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or the entire album in audio software. Track (page 38) Sections of a picture or a music feature on a CD or VIDEO CD (the length of a song). Additional Information

Precautions

On safety

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus. Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the player and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
Do not turn up the volume while listening to a section with very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be damaged when a peak level section is played.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.

On power sources

However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet format and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk Format (UDF) for the player to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play DATA CDs or DATA DVDs recorded in Multi Session or Multi Border (see Note on Multi Session/Border discs on page 81). Refer to the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format. Note on Multi Session/Border discs If MP3 audio tracks are recorded in the first session/border, the player will also play MP3 audio tracks in other session/border. If audio tracks and images in Music CD format or Video CD format are recorded in the first session/border, only the first session/border will be played back.
continued Playing an MP3 audio track
Notes If you put the extension.MP3 to data not in MP3 format, the player cannot recognize the data properly and will generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system. The player cannot play audio tracks in MP3PRO format. The player may not be able to play some DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write format. If both video data and MP3 audio tracks exist on a DATA DVD, the player recognizes only the video data. This player supports MP3 audio tracks recorded with a bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. Attempting to play MP3 audio tracks recorded with different specifications may result in loud noise, sound skipping or speaker damage. Depending on the disc contents, playback may take some time to start.
The Playback order of MP3 audio tracks The playback order of albums and tracks recorded on a DATA CD or DATA DVD is as follows. Structure of disc contents

When you press O RETURN and the list of MP3 albums appears (page 79), the albums are arranged in the following order: A t B t D t E t F t G. Albums that do not contain tracks (such as album C) do not appear in the list.

Tips If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track file names, the tracks will be played in that order. A disc with many trees takes longer to start playback. Some discs with many trees cannot be played back. Notes Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD or DATA DVD, the playback order may differ from the illustration above. The playback order above may not be applicable if there are more than a total of 1000 albums and tracks in the DATA CD or DATA DVD. A total of up to 999 files can be recognized for discs that contain both MP3 and JPEG files. Files are recognized in the order that they were recorded. For example, if 990 JPEG files are recorded then 100 MP3 files are recorded, the 990 JPEG files recorded first and only the first 9 MP3 files can be recognized. Depending on the disc contents, playback may take some time to start.
