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  
power source as long as it is connected to  
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  
ventilation holes.  
• Do not place the player in a location near  
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct  
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical  
shock.  
Caution: This player is capable of holding a  
still video image or on-screen display image  
on your television screen indefinitely. If  
you leave the still video image or on-screen  
display image displayed on your TV for an  
extended period of time you risk permanent  
damage to your television screen. Plasma  
Display Panel televisions and projection  
televisions are susceptible to this.  
If you have any questions or problems  
concerning your player, please consult your

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,

recognize the tracks.  
The list of MP3 albums recorded on the  
DATA CD appears.  
You can also play discs recorded in Multi

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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.”

WIDE  
Creates virtual rear speakers from the sound  
of the front speakers (L, R) without using  
actual rear speakers. The virtual speakers are

below.  
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.

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  
and at an equal distance from your speakers, and  
that the speakers are located in similar  
surroundings.  
• Not all discs will respond to the “NIGHT”  
function in the same way.

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

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

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)  
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.  
DTS (page 22, 54)  
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.  
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.”  
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)  
The longest section of a picture or music  
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video  
software, or the entire album in audio  
software.
