Notes on Discs  
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) offers fantastic audio and video, thanks to Dolby Digital  
surround sound and MPEG-2 video compression technology. Now you can enjoy these  
realistic effects in the home, as if you were in a movie theater or concert hall.

V I D E O  
CD-R Discs  
Depending on the disc recording device (CD-Recorder or PC ) and the condition of the disc, some CD-R discs  
may not be playable.  
DVD players and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in order  
for the disc to play. If the codes do not match, the disc will not play.

Use a 650MB/74 minute CD-R. Avoid CD-R media, as they may not be playable.  
If possible, do not use CD-RW (Rewritable) media, as they may not be playable.  
The Region Number for this player is given on the rear panel of the player.  
(Your DVD player will only play DVDs that are labeled with identical region codes.)  
Only CD-Rs that are properly "closed" can be fully played. If the session is closed but the disc is left open, you  
may not be able to fully play the disc.

If more than 500 tracks are recorded on a single CD, a maximum of 500 tracks can be played.

LD, CD-G, CD-I, CD-ROM and DVD-ROM cannot be played on this player.  
If such discs are played, a "WRONG DISC FORMAT" message appears on the TV screen.  
DVD discs purchased abroad may not play on this player.  
If such discs are played, a "WRONG REGION CODE" message appears on the TV screen.  
CD-R JPEG Discs  
Only files with the ".jpeg" and ".JPEG" extensions can be played.  
Copy Protection  
If the disc is not closed, it will take longer to start playing and not all of the recorded files may be played.  
Only CD-R discs with JPEG files in ISO 9660 or Joliet format can be played.  
Many DVD discs are encoded with copy protection. Because of this, you should only connect your  
DVD player directly to your TV, not to a VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture  
from copy-protected DVD discs.  
JPEG file names should be 8 characters or less in length and contain no blank spaces or special characters (. / = +).  
Only a consecutively written multisession disc can be played. If there is a blank segment in the multisession disc, the  
disc can be played only up to the blank segment.

Note  
Turning Off the Mood Light

The transmission distance of radio wave is about 33 feet but may vary depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete wall or  
metallic wall is between the main unit and the wireless rear amplifier, the system may not operate at all because the radio wave cannot  
penetrate metal.

P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function  
Unlike regular Interlace Scan, in which two fields of picture information alternate to create the  
entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one field of  
information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture without visible  
scan lines.  
While the player is in the Stop mode, hold the P.SCAN button down for longer  
than 5 seconds.  
The selection switches back and forth between "P.SCAN" and "I.SCAN" each time the button is held  
down for a minimum of 5 seconds.

TV  
Component  
Video  
Composite  
Video  
S-Video  
Depending on your TV, Component Video input jacks may be marked as DVD Video input.  
*
In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two  
interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field  
contains every other horizontal line in the frame.  
The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and  
then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating  
gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame.  
One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains  
two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are  
displayed every 1/60th of a second.  
The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of  
video consecutively down the screen, line by line.  
An entire image is drawn at one time, as opposed to the  
interlaced scanning process by which a video image is  
drawn in a series of passes.  
Composite Video (Good Quality)  
Connect the supplied video cable from the VIDEO OUT jack on the back panel of the  
system to the VIDEO IN jack on your television.  
The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing  
with moving objects.  
S-Video (Better Quality)  
If you television is equipped with an S-Video input, connect an S-Video cable (not supplied)  
from the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the back panel of the system to the S-VIDEO IN jack on  
your television.  
The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing  
a still object.  
Component Video (Best Quality)  
Note  
This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support Progressive  
Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive scan TVs.)  
Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.  
If your television is equipped with Component Video inputs, connect a component video  
cable (not supplied) from the Pr, Pb and Y jacks on the back panel of the system to the  
corresponding jacks on your television.  
TV Broadcast System  
When the Progressive scan mode is selected, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed  
any signal. See page 18 to select Progressive Scan.  
Note  
This device is designed to work with the NTSC video format.  
For normal playback, the video format a DVD disc is recorded in  
must coincide with your TV's video format.
