About discs  
Introduction  
Discs that cannot be played back  
• The following discs cannot be played back:  
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R/RW (recorded in VR  
format), CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD,  
SACD, etc.  
Playing back these discs will generate noise and  
damage the speakers.  
Playable disc types  
This system has been designed to play back the following  
discs:  
DVD VIDEO, DVD AUDIO, VCD, SVCD, CD  
Damaged discs and discs in an extraordinary shape  
(other than a disc of 12 cm or 8 cm in diameter) cannot  
be played back.  
This system can also play back the following discs:  
• Finalized DVD-R/RW discs recorded in the DVD  
VIDEO format.  
• CD-R/RW discs recorded in the following formats  
- Music CDs (finalized discs)  
- VCDs  
- SVCDs  
About MP3/JPEG discs  
Playable MP3/JPEG discs and files  
• Discs recorded in the ISO 9660 format are playable  
(except discs recorded in the “packet write” format  
(UDF format)).  
- MP3/JPEG discs recorded in ISO 9660 (for details, refer  
to “About MP3/JPEG discs ”)  
• Discs recorded in the multi-session format are also  
playable.  
• Files with an extension of “.mp3,.jpg” or “.jpeg”  
(extensions with uppercase and lowercase letters  
mixed are also acceptable) are playable.  
However, some discs may not be played back because of  
their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or  
damage or stain on them.  
Only sounds can be played back from the following discs:  
Notes on MP3/JPEG discs and files  
• A disc may not be played, or reading it may take a long  
time depending on its recording conditions or  
properties.  
• The time needed for reading varies with the number of  
groups or tracks (files) recorded on the disc.  
• If a character other than single byte English characters  
is used in the file name of an MP3/JPEG file, the track/  
file name will not be displayed correctly.  
• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3  
Control screen, and the order of files/groups displayed  
on the JPEG Control screen may be different from that  
of files/folders displayed on PC’s monitor screen.  
• An off-the-shelf MP3 disc may be played in an order  
different from that indicated on the label attached to  
the disc.  
• Playing an MP3 file including a still image may take a  
long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until  
playing starts. If playing starts, the elapsed time may  
not be displayed correctly.  
• This system does not handle the ID3 tag of the MP3  
file.  
• For an MP3 file, a disc with a sampling frequency of  
44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128 kbps is  
recommended.  
• This system can play a baseline JPEG file, excluding  
monochromatic JPEG files.  
• This system can play JPEG data taken with a digital  
camera conforming to the DCF (Design Rule for  
Camera File System) standard (when a function is  
applied such as the automatic rotation function of a  
digital camera, data goes beyond the DCF standard,  
so the image may not be displayed).

• If data has been processed, edited and restored with  
PC image editing software, the data may not be  
displayed.  
• This system cannot play animations such as MOTION  
JPEG, or still images (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG, and  
image data with sound.  
* Note on Region Code  
DVD players and DVD VIDEOs have their own Region  
Code numbers. This system can only play back a DVD  
VIDEO recorded with the Region Code number and  
video format mentioned above.  
• The resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is recommended for  
JPEG files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution  
of more than 640 x 480 pixels, display may take a long  
time. An image with a resolution of more than 8192 x  
7680 pixels cannot be displayed.  
Examples:  
• Files recorded on DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played  
back.  
If a DVD VIDEO with an improper Region Code  
number is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears  
on the TV screen and playback cannot start.  
On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs,  
their actual operation may be different from what is  
explained in this manual. This is due to the disc  
programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of  
this system.  
Caution for DualDisc playback:  
The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with  
the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore,  
the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product  
may not be recommended.

About discs (continued)  
Disc structure  
DVD VIDEO  
A DVD VIDEO consists of “titles” and each title  
may be divided into “chapters”.  
Title 1  
Title 2  
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2  
DVD AUDIO  
A DVD AUDIO consists of “groups” and each group  
may be divided into “tracks”.  
Some discs include a “bonus group” that requires a  
password for playing (A page 27).  
Group 1  
Group 2  
Track 1  
Track 2  
Track 3  
Track 1 Track 2  
VCD/SVCD/CD  
VCD, SVCD and CD consist of “tracks”.  
In general, each track has its own track number.  
(On some discs, each track may also be further  
divided by indexes.)  
Track 1  
Track 2  
Track 3  
Track 4  
Track 5  
MP3 [JPEG] discs  
On an MP3 [JPEG] disc, each still picture  
(material) is recorded as a track [file]. Tracks [Files]  
are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also  
include other folders, creating hierarchical folder  
layers.  
This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of  
a disc and manages folders by “groups”.  
Group 1  
Group 2  
Track 1 Track 2  
Group 3 Group 4 Group 5  
[File 1]  
[File 2]  
This product can recognize up to 1000 tracks [files]  
in a disc. Also, the product can recognize up to 150  
tracks [files] per group and up to 99 groups in a  
disc. Since the unit ignores the tracks [files] whose  
numbers are exceeding 150 and the groups whose  
numbers are exceeding 99, they cannot be played  
back.  
• If there is any type of files other than MP3 [JPEG]  
files in a folder, those files are also counted in the  
total file number.

Radio Data System (RDS)  
Receiving FM stations  
with RDS  
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to  
send an additional signal along with their regular  
program signals.  
For example, the stations send their station names,  
as well as information about what type of program  
they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.  
When tuned to an FM station which provides the  
RDS service, “RDS” appears on the display  
window on the main unit.  
Example:  
You can receive the following types of RDS  
signals.  
PS (Program Service):  
Shows commonly known station names.  
PTY (Program Type):  
Shows types of broadcast programs.  
RT (Radio Text):  
Shows text messages the station sends.  
Enhanced Other Networks:  
Refer to page 37.  
NOTE  
RDS may not work correctly if the received station is  
not transmitting the signals properly or if the signal  
strength is weak.  
Alarm function  
If an “Alarm !” (Emergency) signal is received  
from a station while listening to the FM station  
with RDS, the system automatically switches to  
the station broadcasting the “Alarm !” signal,  
except when you are listening to non-RDS  
stations (all AM and some FM stations).

PTY (Program Type):  
While searching, “WAIT PTY" appears and  
then the type of the broadcast program will  
be displayed. “NO PTY” appears if no  
signal is sent.  
RT (Radio Text):  
While searching, “WAIT RT” appears and  
then text messages the station sends will  
be displayed. “NO RT” appears if no signal  
is sent.  
• Refer to page 36 for the PTY codes.  
3 Press SEARCH.  
While searching, “SEARCH” and the selected  
PTY codes will be displayed.  
NOTE  
• If the system takes time to show the RDS  
information received from a station, “PS”, “PTY” or  
“RT” may appear on the display window.  
• When PS, PTY, or RT signals appear on the display  
window, some special characters and marks may  
not be displayed correctly.  
Example: when “News” is selected as a PTY code  
The system searches 30 preset FM stations,  
and stops when it finds the one you have  
selected. At this time the selected frequency  
and PTY code flash. When “SEARCH” is  
pressed while the selected frequency and  
PTY code are flashing, the system  
automatically starts to find the next station.  
After the frequency and PTY code stop  
flashing or if any other operation is done, the  
system automatically tunes in to the station.  
Searching for programs  
by PTY codes  
(PTY Search)  
One of the advantages of RDS is that you can  
locate a particular kind of program by specifying  
the corresponding PTY code.  
• The PTY Search is applicable only to the preset  
stations.  
To stop searching, press SEARCH.  
If no program is found, “NOTFOUND” appears  
on the display window and the system returns to  
the last received station.
