On safety

• Caution – The use of optical instruments

with this product will increase eye hazard.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not

place objects filled with liquids, such as

vases, on the apparatus.

• 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.

• When you move the player, take out any

discs. If you don’t, the disc may be

damaged.

On adjusting volume

Do not turn up the volume while listening to

a section with very low level inputs or no

audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be

damaged when a peak level section is played.

On power sources

• The player is not disconnected from the AC

the wall outlet, even if the player itself has

been turned off.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a

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.

• 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.

• Should the AC power cord need to be

changed, have it done at a qualified service

shop only.

On cleaning discs

Do not use a commercially available cleaning

disc. It may cause a malfunction.

On placement

IMPORTANT NOTICE

• Place the player in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the

player.

• Do not place the player on a soft surface

such as a rug that might block the

About MP3 audio tracks

1 Press MENU.

You can play MP3 audio tracks on CD-ROMs

or CD-Rs/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.

The list of MP3 albums recorded on the

DATA CD appears.

You can also play discs recorded in Multi

Session.

See the instructions of the CD-R/CD-RW

device or recording software (not supplied)

for details on the recording format.

When you insert a DATA CD and press H,

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 30), 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.

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.

z Hints

• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front

of the track file 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

albums of no more than two trees.

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.

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 200 albums and

tracks in the DATA CD.

• The player can recognize up to 100 albums (the

player will count just albums, including albums

that do not contain MP3 audio tracks). The player

will not play any albums beyond the first 100

albums. Of the first 100 albums, the player will

play no more than a combined total of 200 albums

and tracks.

About audio signals

Audio signals recorded in a disc contain the

sound elements (channels) shown below.

Each channel is output from a separate

speaker.

VirtualSurroundSettings

• Front (L)

• Front (R)

• Center

• Rear (L)

When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front

speakers, Virtual Surround lets you enjoy

surround sound effects by using sound

imaging to create virtual rear speakers from

the sound of the front speakers (L: left, R:

right) without using actual rear speakers.

If the player is set up to output the signal from

the DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack, the

surround effect will only be heard when

“DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-PCM”

(page 54).

• Rear (R)

• Rear (Monaural): This signal can be either

the Dolby Surround Sound processed

signals or the Dolby Digital sound’s

monaural rear audio signals.

• LFE (Low Frequency Effect) signal

Notes

• If “DTS” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP,”

the DTS track selection option will not appear on

the screen even if the disc contains DTS tracks

(page 54).

• While playing a Super VCD on which the audio

track 2 is not recorded, no sound will come out

when you select “2:STEREO,” “2:1/L,” or

“2:2/R.”

This mode is effective when the distance

between the front L and R speakers is short,

such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.

: Virtual speaker

◆NIGHT

Large sounds, such as explosions, are

suppressed, but the quieter sounds are

unaffected. This feature is useful when you

want to hear the dialog and enjoy the

surround sound effects of “WIDE” at low

volume.

Notes

• When the playing signal does not contain a signal

for the rear speakers, the surround effects will be

difficult to hear.

• When you select one of theVirtual Surround

modes, turn off the surround setting of the

connected TV or amplifier (receiver).

• Make sure that your listening position is between

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.

Glossary

Chapter (page 10)

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.

such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and

Parental Control functions are provided with

the DVD.

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.

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.

Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 21)

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)

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.

Index (CD)/Video Index (VIDEO CD) (page

37)

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.

control) functions, the menu screens, moving

pictures and still pictures are divided into

sections called “scenes.”

DVD (page 6)

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 17GB.

Title (page 10)
