Notes  
– Depending on the conditions of the recording equip-  
ment or the CD-R/RW disc itself, some CD-R/RW  
discs cannot be played on this unit.  
– This unit cannot play CD-R/RW discs that do not con-  
tain any data, or contain different kinds of formatted  
data other than MP3 and CD-DA data.  
– Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the  
labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.  
– Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-  
shaped or octagonal). It may result in malfunctions.

or an audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number,  
enabling you to locate the track you want.  
Scene  
On a video CD with PBC (Playback control) functions,  
moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sec-  
tions called “Scenes”. Each scene is displayed in the  
menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling  
you to locate the scene you want.  
A scene is composed of one or several tracks.  
Notes on DVDs and Video CDs  
Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs  
may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers.  
As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to  
disc content designed by the software manufacturer,  
some playback features of the unit may not be avail-  
able, or other functions may be added.  
Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs  
and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business pur-  
poses may not be playable on this unit.  
Types of video CDs  
There are two types of video CDs:  
Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)  
PBC (Playback control) functions allow you to interact  
with the system via menus, search functions, or other  
typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures  
of high resolution can be played if they are included in  
the disc.  
Regional code of the DVD player and DVDs  
This DVD player is designed and manufactured  
for playback of region “1” encoded DVD soft-  
ware. The region code on the labels of some DVD discs  
indicates which type of player can play those discs. This  
unit can play only DVD discs labeled “1” or “ALL”. If you  
try to play any other discs, the message “Check Regional  
Code” will appear on the TV screen. Some DVD discs  
may not have a region code label even though their  
playback is prohibited by area limits.  
Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)  
Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs  
allow playback of video pictures as well as sound, but  
they are not equipped with PBC.  
1
Note on DTS-encoded CDs  
To avoid possible damage to the audio system, turn  
down the volume before playing back such discs. Adjust  
the volume gradually to personal preference. To enjoy  
DTS Digital SurroundTM playback, an external 5.1 chan-  
nel DTS Digital SurroundTM decoder system must be  
connected to the digital output of the player.

Before Use (Cont’d)  
Precautions  
Storing discs  
After playing, store the disc in its case.  
Handling the unit  
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of  
heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun-  
light, as there may be a considerable temperature build-  
up inside the car.  
When shipping the unit  
The original shipping carton and packing materials  
come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the  
unit as it was originally packed at the factory.  
Cleaning discs  
When setting up the unit  
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-  
ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean  
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen-  
ter out.  
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio  
may be distorted during playback. In this case, position  
the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, and turn off  
the unit after removing the disc.  
To keep the exterior surfaces clean  
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,  
near the unit. Do not allow rubber or plastic products to  
contact the unit for a long period of time. They will leave  
marks on the surface.  
To move the unit  
When you move the player, take out any discs. If you  
don’t, the discs may be damaged or drop into the inter-  
nal workings of the DVD player.  
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,  
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static  
spray intended for older vinyl records.  
Cleaning the unit

mat, the picture will appear scrambled if you select  
Progressive Scan output from the DVD Player.

the player. Use only one of the connections  
described below.  
z Please refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo  
System or other devices as necessary to make the  
best connections.  
z For better sound reproduction, connect the player’s

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)  
Sound  
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s sound-  
track in the most accurate and realistic presentation  
possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However,  
you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the  
audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds  
and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie  
at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set  
DRC to On for this effect.  
Digital Audio Output  
Each DVD disc may have a variety of audio output  
options. Set the player’s Digital Audio Output according  
to the type of audio system you use.  
DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM: Select “DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM”  
if you connect the DVD Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to a  
Dolby Digital decoder (or an amplifier or other equip-  
ment with a Dolby Digital decoder).  
Stream/PCM: Select “Stream/PCM” if you connect the  
DVD Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to an amplifier or other  
equipment with a DTS decoder, Dolby Digital decoder  
or MPEG decoder.  
PCM: Select when connected to a 2 channel digital  
stereo amplifier. The DVD player outputs sounds in the  
PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc  
recorded on the Dolby Digital, MPEG1 or MPEG2  
recording system.  
Vocal  
Set Vocal to On only when a multi-channel karaoke  
DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will  
mix into normal stereo sound.  
PBC  
Set Playback Control (PBC) to On or Off.  
On: Video CDs with PBC are played according to the PBC.

the picture enhancement.

z An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the  
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call  
files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.  
z The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file  
extension other than “.mp3”.

4. If you record MP3 files using the software which  
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-  
CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We  
recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which  
creates an ISO9660 file system.  
5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first  
track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it can-  
not playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3  
files, format all the data in the disc or use a new  
one.  
6. We do not recommend using CD-RW discs. Please  
use finished CD-R discs only.  
7. File names should be named using 8 letters or less  
and must incorporate “.mp3” extension  
e.g. “********.MP3”.
