• 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.
On cleaning

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 cleaning discs
Do not use a commercially available cleaning
disc. It may cause a malfunction.

power source as long as it is connected to
the wall outlet, even if the player itself has
been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the player for a
long time, be sure to disconnect the player
from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC
power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.

Notes about the Discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its
edge. Do not touch the surface.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it
in a car parked in direct sunlight as the

operation, remove the burrs by rubbing the
edge of the disc with the side of a pen or
pencil. Check all of the discs in the two slots
to the left and right of the center slot,
including the center slot.

About MP3 audio tracks
You can play MP3 audio tracks on CD-
ROMs, CD-Rs, or CD-RWs. However, the
discs must be recorded according to ISO9660
level 1, level 2, or Joliet format for the player
to recognize the tracks.

ROOT
You can also play discs recorded in Multi

See the instructions of the CD-R/RW device
or recording software (not supplied) for
details on the recording format.
To play a Multi Session CD
This player can play Multi Session CDs when
an MP3 audio track is located in the first
session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks,
recorded in the later sessions, can also be
played back.
When audio tracks and images in music CD
format or Video CD format are recorded in
the first session, only the first session will be
played back.
album
track
When you play a DATA CD from its
beginning (page 33), the numbered tracks are
played sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any
sub-albums/tracks contained within a
currently selected album take priority over
the next album in the same tree. (Example: C
contains D so 4 is played before 5.)
When you press MENU and the list of MP3
albums appears (page 43), the albums are
arranged in the following order: A t B t
C t D t F t G. Albums that do not
contain tracks (such as album E) do not
appear in the list.
z Hints
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front
of the track names, the tracks will be played in
that order.
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start
playback, it is recommended that you create the
albums no more than two trees.

data per second in a disc. While playing a
disc, an approximate bit rate of the playback
picture is displayed as Mbps (Mega bit per
second) and the audio as kbps (kilo bit per
second). The higher the bit rate, the larger the
amount of data. However, this does not
always mean that you can get higher quality

discs. However, not all discs will respond to the
“TVS NIGHT” function in the same way.

Storing a picture in memory
When “ PROGRESSIVE” is
selected in “ COMPONENT OUT”
The player can store one scene in memory for
both the background and startup screen.
During playback, when you find a scene to be
stored in memory, slide the TV/DISC
EXPLORER/DVD switch to TV or DVD and
press PICTURE MEMORY.
You can fine-tune the Progressive (480p)
video signal output when you select
“PROGRESSIVE” in “COMPONENT
OUT” of the “SCREEN SETUP” display and
connect the player to the TV that is able to
accept the video signal in progressive format
(480p).
The picture is stored in memory.
◆ MODE (Conversion Modes)
DVD software can be divided into two types:
film based software and video based
software. Video based software is derived
from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and
displays images at 30 frames/60 fields per
film and displays images at 24 frames per
second. Some DVD software contains both
Video and Film.
In order for these images to appear natural on
your screen when output in PROGRESSIVE
mode (60 frames per second), the progressive
video signal needs to be converted to match
the type of DVD software that you are
watching.
Note
If you operate the player while the picture is being
stored in memory, the player will fail to store the
picture.
◆ COMPONENT OUT
This will change the type of signal output
from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT
jacks on the player. See page 100 for more
information about the different types.

(interlace format) TV.
This will set the conversion

images may appear unnatural due to the conversion
process when output through the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUTPUT jacks. Images from the S VIDEO
OUTPUT 1/2 and VIDEO OUTPUT 1/2 jacks are
unaffected as they are output in the interlace format.
Note
If you select “PROGRESSIVE” when you connect
the player to a TV that cannot accept the signal in
progressive format (480p), the image quality will
deteriorate. In this case, set the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUTPUT/SCAN SELECT switch on the
back panel of the player to INTERLACE. When
you can see the TV screen correctly, set
“COMPONENT OUT” to “INTERLACE” and
reset the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT/SCAN
SELECT switch to SELECTABLE.

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.
Furthermore, various advanced functions
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and
Parental Control functions are provided with
the DVD.
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 27, 94)
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.
DVD-RW (page 6, 41)
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable
disc with the same size as the DVD VIDEO.
The DVD-RW can be recorded in two
different modes: VR mode and Video mode.
VR (Video Recording) mode enables various
programming and editing functions, some of
which are limited in the case of Video mode.
Video mode complies with DVD VIDEO
format and can be played on other DVD
players while a DVD-RW recorded in VR
mode can only be played on DVD-RW
compliant players. The “DVD-RW”
DTS (page 28, 71, 95)
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.
appearing in this manual, and the on-screen
displays refer to DVD-RWs in VR mode.
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.
Film based software, Video based
software (page 91)
DVDs can be classified as Film based or
Video based software. Film based DVDs
contain the same images (24 frames per
second) that are shown at movie theaters.
Video based DVDs, such as television
dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30
frames (or 60 fields) per second.

Interlace format (page 91)
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.
Index (CD)/Video Index (VIDEO CD) (page
10, 14, 63)
A number that divides a track into sections to
easily locate the point you want on a CD or
VIDEO CD. Depending on the disc, no index
may be recorded.
Progressive format (page 91)
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.
Scene (page 10)
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback
control) functions, the menu screens, moving
pictures and still pictures are divided into
sections called “scenes.”
Title (page 10, 14, 63)
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 10, 14, 63)
Sections of a picture or a music feature on a
CD or VIDEO CD (the length of a song).
