When recording the sounds (DVD VIDEO, SVCD, Video CD or  
Audio CD) played back on the player, record them through the  
analog jacks.  
• Depending on the disc, no signal may be output from the  
DIGITAL OUT. Make an analog connection in this case.

To play back from the beginning  
Press 7 while the disc is stopped.  
The memory is cleared.  
Then press 3 (SELECT).  
Hint  
If you press 0 during playback, the player stops playback and  
opens the disc tray.  
NOTES  
To stop playback temporarily  
• The player remembers the interrupted position even if you turn  
the power off.  
• The memory is cleared if you open the disc tray.  
Press 8.  
To resume playback, press 3 (SELECT). (See the following  
item.)  
Changing the resume mode  
The player has three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC  
RESUME.  
You can select the mode using the preference display (see  
page 25).  
About On-screen guide icons  
You may see the following icons displayed over the picture.  
They have the following meanings.  
When the resume mode is “OFF”  
Playback always starts from the beginning.  
: Appears at the beginning of playback mode.  
: Appears at the beginning of pause mode.  
: Appears at the beginning of fast forward/backward  
playback with the current speed (see page 10).  
When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME”  
The player memorizes interrupted positions for the last 30 discs  
played. Storing a new interrupted position will erase the  
interrupted position stored for the first disc.  
: Appears at the beginning of slow-motion playback  
with the current speed (see page 10).  
The memory of the interrupted positions are not cleared even if  
you open the disc tray or turn off the player.  
: Appears at the beginning of a scene recorded from  
multiple angles (see page 15).  
: Appears at the beginning of a scene recorded with  
multiple audio languages (see page 15).  
NOTES  
• If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to  
[OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose  
“resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set  
[RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume  
playback of the disc.  
• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted  
position has already been stored, the memory will be updated  
with the new interrupted position.  
: Appears at the beginning of a scene recorded with  
multiple subtitle languages (see page 15).  
You can change the setting so that the on-screen guide icons  
do not appear on the TV screen (see page 25).  
• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the player regards each  
side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a  
disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.  
• When the player memorizes an iterrupted point for a disc, it also  
memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.  
• The player may not resume playback exactly from the  
interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with  
PBC function, the player may resume playback from a point  
slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was  
interrupted.  
About screen saver function  
A television monitor may have an image burned into it if a static  
image is displayed for a long time. To prevent this, the player  
automatically activates the screen saver function if a static  
picture, such as an on-screen display or menu, is displayed  
while no button is pressed for over 5 minutes.  
When the screen saver function is activated, the TV screen  
gets darker.  
Pressing any buttons will release the screen saver function.  
You can set the screen saver function to ON or OFF (see page  
24).

Appendix D: Glossary  
ASF  
Linear PCM audio  
ASF is an abbreviation of “Advanced Streaming Format,and is a  
data compression format for streaming developed by Microsoft  
Corporation. ASF can contain the various data types such as  
audio, video, and text.  
PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.Linear PCM is the usual  
method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is  
used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.  
MP3  
Aspect ratio  
MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for  
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data  
reduction of about 1:10.  
A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV.  
It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional  
TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.  
MPEG-4  
Bitstream  
MPEG-4 is an audio/video data compression format, which is  
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)  
highly efficient and more stable than MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.  
before it is decoded into its various channels.  
MPEG Multichannel  
Chapter/title  
This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on  
the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1  
channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie  
theater experience in your own home.  
Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on  
DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track  
for Video CD or Audio CD.  
Component video  
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)  
A color television system format used extensively in Western  
Europe.  
Video signals with three channels of separate information that  
makes up the picture. There are some types of component video,  
such as R/G/B and Y/CB(PB)/CR(PR).  
PBC  
Composite video  
PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling  
disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the  
disc through menus.  
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video  
products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization  
information.  
RGB  
Dolby Digital (AC3)  
An abbreviation for Red, Green and Blue. Color monitors and  
color television sets display different hues by mixing these three  
colors.  
A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear,  
right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a  
sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital  
domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of  
information.  
Track  
The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.  
Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic  
Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in  
two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the  
original four channels for playback. Because the audio is  
recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a  
two-channel stereo system.  
Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side  
processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering  
the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and  
adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is  
enhanced channel separation.  
Down-mix  
Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD  
player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output  
connectors.  
DTS  
A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six  
(5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder,  
either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for  
Digital Theater Systems.  
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.  
Dynamic range  
The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.  
Interlaced scanning  
In a conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display  
monitor in between lines of two halves. The Interlaced scanning  
system places lines of the second half of the picture in-between  
lines of the first half of the picture.  
JPEG  
A popular file format for still image compression and storage.  
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”  
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards  
but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and  
safety is to be assured.  
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and  
interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the  
manufacturers instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing  
connections.  
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of  
your equipment.  
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or  
if it is damaged in any way–switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it  
is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode.  
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do  
this.  
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.  
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the  
requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.  
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your  
hearing.  
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.  
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.  
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete  
safety always fit the manufacturers approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according  
to the instructions.  
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL  
—NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in  
the case -this could result in a fatal electrical shock.;  
—NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind -it is better to be safe than
