Connecting to a digital audio device
NOTES
You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the unit’s
DIGITAL OUT (either OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack to a digital
input of an amplifier, etc., using an optical or coaxial digital cable.
The digital audio signal on a disc will be transferred directly from
the unit. If the connected digital audio equipment is a Dolby
Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder, you
can enjoy high-quality surround sound.
• Connect the unit and the digital audio device by using either an
optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable.
• It is not recommended to use the digital jacks for dubbing.
When recording the sounds (DVD VIDEO, SVCD, Video CD or
Audio CD) played back on the unit, 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.
• Set [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] in the [AUDIO] preference
display correctly according to the connected digital audio
equipment. If setting made for [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] is
incorrect, loud noise may be generated causing damage to
the speakers (see page 28).

cannot be turned on.
• The unit only can play back tracks with the following file
extensions; “.MP3,” “.Mp3,” “.mp3” and “.mP3.”

Operations
The unit can play back MP3 files on a home recorded CD-R/RW
disc or commercially available CD. We refer to a disc that
contains MP3 files as an “MP3 disc” in this manual.
About MP3 discs
On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a file (track). Files are
sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.
• Each file is regarded as a track.
Selecting the desired group and track
When inserting an MP3 disc, after the disc contents are read, the
MP3 CONTROL display automatically appears on the TV screen.
You can specify the desired group/track from the display using
the following procedure.
• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.
• A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group
1.”
• The unit recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99
groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3 files, they also
count in the 150-file total.

Appendix D: Glossary
Aspect ratio
MPEG Multichannel
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.
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.
Bitstream
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)
before it is decoded into its various channels.
NTSC (National television system committee)
A black and white and color television system format used in the
U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.
Chapter/title
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.
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)
A color television system format used extensively in Western
Europe.
Component video
PBC
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 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.
Composite video
S-video
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video
products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization
information.
A video signal which improves picture quality over standard
composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV
monitors, etc.
Dolby Digital (AC3)
Track
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.
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 analog AUDIO OUT
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.
Linear PCM audio
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
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.
MPEG
A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual information.
“MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.
Video CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD is based
on MPEG-2. MPEG stands for Moving Picture coding Experts
Group.
