relevant instructions on the use of chemically-coated  
cloths. Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic  
solvents including disinfectants. These may cause  
deformation or discoloring.  
Notes on handling  
7 Important cautions  
Installation of the system  
If water gets inside the system  
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot  
nor too cold; between 5°C and 35°C.  
• Leave sufficient distance between the system and the  
TV.

the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.  
• When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet,  
always pull on the plug, not the power cord.  
• Immediately after roomheating starts  
• When the system is installed in a steamy or damp  
space  
• When the system is suddenly moved from a cold place  
to a warm space  
In any of these cases, leave the system turned on for 1 or  
2 hours before use.  
To prevent malfunctions of the system  
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything  
goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your  
dealer.  
• Do not insert any metallic object into the system.  
• Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart,  
flower or credit card, etc.) available on the market,  
because it may damage the system.  
Supplied accessories  
• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it,  
because it may damage the system.  
Check to be sure you have all of the supplied  
accessories.

About discs  
Discs that cannot be played back  
• The following discs cannot be played back:  
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW (recorded in VR  
format), CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD,  
SACD, etc.  
Playable disc types  
This system has been designed to play back the following  
discs:  
DVD VIDEO, DVD AUDIO, VCD, SVCD, CD  
Playing back these discs will generate noise and  
damage the speakers.  
Damaged discs and discs in an extraordinary shape  
(other than a disc of 12 cm or 8 cm in diameter) cannot  
be played back.  
This system can also play back the following discs:  
• Finalized DVD-R/RW discs recorded in the DVD  
VIDEO format.  
• CD-R/RW discs recorded in the following formats  
- Music CDs (finalized discs)  
- VCDs  
- SVCDs  
About MP3/JPEG discs  
Playable MP3/JPEG discs and files  
• Discs recorded in the ISO 9660 format are playable  
(except discs recorded in the “packet write” format  
(UDF format)).  
- MP3/JPEG discs recorded in ISO 9660 (for details, refer  
to “About MP3/JPEG discs ”)  
• Discs recorded in the multi-session format are also  
playable.  
• Files with an extension of “.mp3,” “.jpg” or “.jpeg”  
(extensions with uppercase and lowercase letters  
mixed are also acceptable) are playable.  
However, some discs may not be played back because of  
their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or  
damage or stain on them.  
Only sounds can be played back from the following discs:  
Notes on MP3/JPEG discs and files  
• A disc may not be played, or reading it may take a long  
time depending on its recording conditions or  
properties.  
• The time needed for reading varies with the number of  
groups or tracks (files) recorded on the disc.  
• If a character other than single byte English characters  
is used in the file name of an MP3/JPEG file, the track/  
file name will not be displayed correctly.  
• The order of tracks/groups displayed on the MP3  
Control screen, and the order of files/groups displayed  
on the JPEG Control screen may be different from that  
of files/folders displayed on PC’s monitor screen.  
• In the case of MP3 discs, since groups/tracks are  
played in alphabetical order, an off-the-shelf MP3 disc  
may be played in an order different from that indicated  
on the label attached to the disc.

• Playing an MP3 file including a still image may take a  
long time. The elapsed time is not displayed until  
playing starts. If playing starts, the elapsed time may  
not be displayed correctly.  
• This system does not handle the ID3 tag of the MP3  
file.  
• For an MP3 file, a disc with a sampling frequency of  
44.1 kHz and transmission rate of 128 kbps is  
recommended.  
• This system can play a baseline JPEG file, excluding  
monochromatic JPEG files.

—
• This system can play JPEG data taken with a digital  
camera conforming to the DCF (Design Rule for  
Camera File System) standard (when a function is  
applied such as the automatic rotation function of a  
digital camera, data goes beyond the DCF standard,  
so the image may not be displayed).  
• If data has been processed, edited and restored with  
PC image editing software, the data may not be  
displayed.  
• This system cannot play animations such as MOTION  
JPEG, or still images (TIFF etc.) other than JPEG, and  
image data with sound.  
• The resolution of 640 x 480 is recommended for JPEG  
files. If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more  
than 640 x 480, display may take a long time. An  
image with a horizontal resolution of more than 2,400  
pixels cannot be displayed.

* Note on Region Code  
DVD players and DVD VIDEOs have their own Region  
Code numbers. This system can only play back a DVD  
VIDEO recorded with the Region Code number and  
video format mentioned above.  
Examples:  
If a DVD VIDEO with an improper Region Code  
number is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears  
on the TV screen and playback cannot start.  
On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs,  
their actual operation may be different from what is  
explained in this manual. This is due to the disc  
programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of  
this system.

Introduction  
Disc structure  
DVD VIDEO  
A DVD VIDEO consists of “titles” and each title  
may be divided into “chapters”.  
Title 1  
Title 2  
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2  
DVD AUDIO  
A DVD AUDIO consists of “groups” and each group  
may be divided into “tracks”.  
Some discs include a “bonus group” that requires a  
password for playing (A page 28).  
Group 1  
Track 2  
Group 2  
Track 1 Track 2  
Track 1  
Track 3  
VCD/SVCD/CD  
VCD, SVCD and CD consist of “tracks”.  
In general, each track has its own track number.  
(On some discs, each track may also be further  
divided by indexes.)  
Track 1  
Track 2  
Track 3  
Track 4  
Track 5  
MP3 [JPEG] discs  
On an MP3 [JPEG] disc, each still picture  
(material) is recorded as a track [file]. Tracks [Files]  
are usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also  
include other folders, creating hierarchical folder  
layers.  
This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of  
a disc and manages folders by “groups”.  
Up to 99 groups  
Group 1  
Group 2  
Track 1 Track 2  
Group 3 Group 4 Group 5  
[File 1]  
[File 2]  
Up to 150 files  
This unit can recognize up to 150 tracks [files] per  
group and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850  
files in total). Since the unit ignores the tracks  
[files] whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the  
groups whose numbers are exceeding 99, they  
cannot be played back.  
• If there is any type of files other than MP3 [JPEG]  
files in a folder, those files are also counted in the  
total file number.
