Notes on playing DTS* sound tracks on a CD
•
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be heard from the analog stereo jacks.
To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions
when the analog stereo jacks of the DVD player are connected to an amplification system. To
enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system must be
connected to the digital jack of the DVD player.
•
•
Set the sound to “Stereo” using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD
Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the DVD player to an audio
component having a built-in DTS decoder. The DVD player outputs the DTS signal via the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off” in “AUDIO SETUP”
Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track
•
•
DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) jack.
When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to “On” in “AUDIO SETUP”
•
If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

A total of up to 999 files can be recognized for discs that contain both MP3 and JPEG files.
Files are recognized in the order that they were recorded. For example, if 990 JPEG files are
recorded then 100 MP3 files are recorded, the 990 JPEG files recorded first and only the first
9 MP3 files can be recognized.
Note on Multi Session/Border discs
If JPEG image files are recorded in the first session/border, the player will also play
JPEG image files in other session/border. If audio tracks and images in Music CD
format or Video CD format are recorded in the first session/border, only the first
session/border will be played back.

Glossary
Chapter (page 28)
DVD (page 7)
Sections of a picture or a music feature that
are smaller than titles. A title is composed of
several chapters. Depending on the disc, no
chapters may be recorded.
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.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format,
one 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
rate coding technology that changes the data
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
presence.
Digital audio compression technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This
technology conforms to 5.1-channel
surround sound. The rear channel is stereo
and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in
this format. Dolby Digital provides the same
5.1 discrete channels of high quality digital
audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio
systems. Good channel separation is realized
because all of the channel data are recorded
discretely and little deterioration is realized
because all channel data processing is digital.
Dolby Surround (page 23)
Audio signal processing technology that
Dolby Laboratories developed for surround
sound. When the input signal contains a
surround component, the process outputs the
front, center and rear signals. The rear
channel is monaural.
Furthermore, various advanced functions
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and
Parental Control functions are provided with
the DVD.
A DVD+R (read “plus R”) is a recordable
disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO.
Contents can be recorded only once to a
DVD+R, and will have the same format as a

Digital audio compression technology that
DTS, 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

A DVD-R is a recordable disc that is the

recorded only once to a DVD-R, and will
have the same format as a DVD VIDEO.
The DVD-R has two different modes:

DVD-RW (page 7)
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable
disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO.
The DVD-RW has two different modes:
VR mode and Video mode. DVD-RWs
created in Video mode have the same format

DVD+RW (page 7)
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.
Interlace format
Interlace format shows every other line of an
image as a single “field” and is the standard
method for displaying images on television.
The even number field shows the even
numbered lines of an image, and the odd
numbered field shows the odd numbered
lines of an image.
Compared to the Interlace format that
alternately shows every other line of an
image (field) to create one frame, the
Progressive format shows the entire image at
once as a single frame. This means that while
the Interlace format can show 30 frames/60
fields in one second, the Progressive format
can show 60 frames in one second. The
overall picture quality increases and still
images, text, and horizontal lines appear
sharper. This player is compatible with the
480 progressive format.
