Example of discs that the player
cannot play
Note on playback operations of
DVDs and VIDEO CDs
The player cannot play the following discs:
• All CD-ROMs (including PHOTO CDs)/CD-
Rs/CD-RWs other than those recorded in the
following formats:
– music CD format
– video CD format
Some playback operations of DVDs and VIDEO
CDs may be intentionally set by software
producers. Since this player plays DVDs and
VIDEO CDs according to the disc contents the
software producers designed, some playback
features may not be available. Also, refer to the
instructions supplied with the DVDs or VIDEO
CDs.
– MP3 or JPEG format that conforms to
ISO9660* Level 1/Level 2
• Data part of CD-Extras
• DVD-ROMs
• DVD Audio discs
Music discs encoded with
copyright protection technologies
• HD layer on Super Audio CDs
* A logical format of files and folders on CD-ROMs,
defined by ISO (International Standard
Organization).
This product is designed to playback discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with
copyright protection technologies are marketed
by some record companies. Please be aware that
among those discs, there are some that do not
conform to the CD standard and may not be
playable by this product.
Also, the player cannot play the following discs:
• A DVD VIDEO with a different region code.
• A disc recorded in a color system other than
PAL, such as NTSC or SECAM (this player
conforms to the PAL color system).
• A disc that has a non-standard shape (e.g.,
card, heart).
• A disc with paper or stickers on it.
• A disc that has the adhesive of cellophane tape
or a sticker still left on it.
Notes about discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its
edge. Do not touch the surface.
Notes about DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs,
DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, or CD-Rs/CD-
RWs
Some DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs, DVD+RWs/
DVD+Rs, or CD-Rs/CD-RWs cannot be played
on this player due to the recording quality or
physical condition of the disc, or the
characteristics of the recording device and
authoring software.
The disc will not play if it has not been correctly
finalized. Also, images in DVD-RW discs with
CPRM* protection may not be played if they
contain a copy protection signal.
• 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
temperature may rise considerably inside the
car.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
• Clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the centre out.
* CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable
Media) is a coding technology that protects
the copyright of images.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs.

If you play a DVD or VIDEO CD that has scratches, the player may stop playback at the
point of the scratch.
•

Notes on playing DTS* sound tracks on a CD
•
•
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, no audio out will be output from the analogue stereo jacks.
To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions
when the analogue stereo jacks of the DVD player are connected to an amplification system.
Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the DVD player to an audio
component having a built-in DTS decoder. The DVD player outputs the DTS signal via the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off” in
damaged.
Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track
•
•
•
DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL or
OPTICAL) jack.
When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in “AUDIO SETUP”
If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

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 or level 2 format for the player
to recognize the tracks.
You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session.
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.
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.
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.
•

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 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, 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.
A total of up to 999 files can be recognized for discs that contain both MP3 and JPEG files.

Glossary
Chapter (page 31)
DVD (page 6)
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.
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 double-
sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and double-layer and
double-sided DVD is 17 GB.
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.
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 52)
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, centre and rear signals.
The rear channel is monaural.
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.
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+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.
