Folder names and file names are displayed up to 20 characters. When folder names and file names are recorded with more than 20 characters,
the names will be displayed in abbreviated form.
Confirming media and files
Check to ascertain that MP3/WMA files can be played back correctly on the personal computer in use prior to saving them onto the media.
Check to ensure that the saved file can be played back normally.
It is not possible to confirm that files can be played back correctly while they are being saved onto the
media.

/
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling 96 kHz
signals, select 48 kHz. When this choice is made, this unit auto-
matically converts any 96 kHz signals to 48 kHz so your system
can decode them.
Rating 1-8: Rating one (1) has the most restrictions and rating
eight (8) is the least restrictive.
Unlock
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96 kHz sig-
nals, select 96 kHz. When this choice is made, this unit passes
each type of signal through without any further processing.
Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify its capa-
bilities.
If you select unlock, parental control is not active and the disc
plays in full.
Note:
•
When you set "Rating" for the first time, you set an area code
first.
When the disc prohibits 96 kHz digital output, the signal always
is put out after down-conversion.
•
If you set a rating for the player, all disc scenes with the same
rating or lower are played. Higher rated scenes are not played
unless an alternate scene is available on the disc. The alternative
must have the same rating or a lower one. If no suitable alterna-
tive is found, playback stops. You must enter the 4-digit pass-
word or change the rating level in order to play the disc.
DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
With the DVD format, you can hear a program's soundtrack 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). This allows you to
listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of
sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.
