Notes on CD-R/-RW and
DVD-R/-RW/+R/+RW
Music discs encoded with
copyright protection technologies
is product is designed to play back
discs that conform to the Compact Disc
(CD) standard. Recently, various music
discs encoded with copyright protection
technologies are marketed by some
record companies. Please be aware that
among those discs, there are some that
do not conform to the CD standard and
may not be playable by this product.
In some cases, CD-Rs/-RWs and
DVD-Rs/-RWs/+Rs/+RWs cannot be
played back on this system due to the
recording quality or physical condition
of the disc, or the characteristics of
the recording device and authoring
soſtware. e disc will not be played
back if it has not been correctly
finalized. For more information, see
the operation instructions for the
recording device.
Note that some playback functions
may not work with some DVD+Rs/
+RWs, even if they have been correctly
finalized. In this case, view the disc by
normal playback.
A disc created in Packet Write format
cannot be played back.
Notes on Multi Session disc
is system can play back Multi
Session discs when an MP3 audio
track, a JPEG image file or a DivX
video file is contained in the first
session. Any subsequent MP3 audio
tracks, image files or DivX video files
recorded in later sessions can also be
played back.
If the first session is recorded in
AUDIO CD or VIDEO CD format,
only the first session will be played
back.
e system will recognize a Multi
Session disc as an AUDIO CD if there
is a session recorded in AUDIO CD
format on the disc. However, the
system will only play back the disc if
the first session is recorded in AUDIO
CD format.
With DATA CD or DATA DVD, the
system will only play back DivX video
files even if it contains MP3 audio
tracks or JPEG image files.
Note on playback operations of
DVD VIDEOs and VIDEO CDs
Some playback operations of DVD
VIDEOs and VIDEO CDs may be
intentionally set by soſtware producers.
Since this system play back DVD
VIDEOs and VIDEO CDs according to
the disc contents the soſtware producers
designed, some playback features may
not be available. Also, refer to the
instructions supplied with the DVD
VIDEOs or VIDEO CDs.

Notes on discs
Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning
cloth from the center out to the edge.
Do not clean discs with solvents, such as
benzine thinner, or commercially available
cleaners or anti-static spray intended for
vinyl LPs.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a
car parked in direct sunlight.
On placement
Do not place the system in an inclined
position or in locations that are extremely
hot, cold, dusty, dirty, or humid or lacking
adequate ventilation, or subject to vibration,
direct sunlight or a bright light.
Be careful when placing the unit or speakers
on surfaces that have been specially treated
(for example, with wax, oil, polish) as
staining or discoloration of the surface may
result.
If the system is brought directly from a cold
to a warm location or is placed in a very
damp room, moisture may condense on the
lens inside the DVD player, and cause the
system to malfunction. In this situation,
remove the disc, and leave the system turned
on for about an hour until the moisture
evaporates.
Do not use discs encircled with a protection
ring. is may cause a malfunction to the

for digital compression technology. e
picture data is compressed to about 1/40
of its original size. e DVD VIDEO
also uses variable rate coding technology
that changes the data to be allocated
according to the status of the picture.
Dolby Digital
is sound format for movie theaters is
more advanced than Dolby Surround
Pro Logic. In this format, the surround
speakers output stereo sound with
an expanded frequency range and a
subwoofer channel for deep bass is
independently provided. is format is
also called “5.1” because the subwoofer
channel is counted as 0.1 channel (since
it functions only when a deep bass effect
is needed). All six channels in this format
are recorded separately to realize superior
channel separation. Furthermore, since
all the signals are processed digitally, less
signal degradation occurs.

e audio data is recorded in Dolby
Digital as well as in PCM, allowing you to
enjoy more realistic audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and
Parental Control functions are provided
with the DVD VIDEO.
Film based software, Video based

DVD VIDEOs, such as television dramas
or sitcoms, displays images at 30 frames
(or 60 fields) per second.

rewritable disc that is the same size as
a DVD VIDEO. e DVD-RW has two
different modes: VR mode and Video
mode. DVD-RWs created in Video
mode have the same format as a DVD
VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video
Recording) mode allow the contents to
be programmed or edited.
Interlace format (Interlaced scanning)
e Interlace format is the NTSC
standard method for displaying TV
images at 30 frames per second. Each
frame is scanned twice-alternately
between the even numbered scanning
lines and then odd numbered scanning
lines, at 60 times per second.
DVD+RW
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.
Multi-angle function

camera, for a scene are recorded on some
DVD VIDEOs.

etc., for a picture piece on video soſtware,
or the entire album in audio soſtware.
In contrast to the Interlace format,
the progressive format can reproduce
50 60 frames per second by
reproducing all scanning lines (525
lines for the NTSC system, 625 lines
for PAL system). e overall picture
quality increases and still images, text

format, one of the worldwide standards
for digital compression technology. e
picture data is compressed to about 1/140
of its original size. Consequently, a 12 cm
VIDEO CD can contain up to 74 minutes
of moving pictures.
VIDEO CDs also contain compact audio
data.
Sounds outside the range of human
hearing are compressed while the
sounds we can hear are not compressed.
VIDEO CDs can hold 6 times the audio
information of conventional AUDIO
CDs.
ere are 2 versions of VIDEO CDs.
