Notes on DVD-Audio discs:

The DVD600II is not capable of playing selec- tions in the DVD-Audio format. However, many DVD-Audio discs include audio tracks in the PCM, Dolby Digital or other formats which the DVD600II is capable of playing. You may need to press the Title Button x rather than the Menu Button z in order to access these formats.

Some DVD-Audio discs display a still picture while a selection is playing. Sometimes, this picture may disappear when play is stopped and the DVD600II is placed in the Resume mode. To restore the picture, fully stop play by pressing

the Stop Button twice before contin- uing play.

NOTE: Due to differences in the format of certain discs, it is possible that some discs may include a mix of features that are not compati- ble with the DVD600II. Similarly, although the DVD600II is capable of a wide range of features, not all discs include every capability of the DVD system. For example, although the DVD600II is compatible with multi-angle discs, that feature is only possible when the disc is specially encoded for multiple-angle play. In addition, the DVD600II is capable of playing back both Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks, but the number and types of tracks available will vary from disc to disc. To make certain that a specific feature or soundtrack option is available, please check the options noted on the disc jacket.

Playback of DTS audio discs requires connection to a processor or receiver with a DTS decoder, such as the DCR600II.

Playback capability for CD-R/RW discs may vary due to variations in the quality of the CD-R/RW disc and the recorder used to create the disc.

Since they share some of the characteristics and technology of CD players, many of the terms and operational concepts used in a DVD player are similar to what you may be familiar with from CD players and changers, or older video disc formats such as Laser Disc. However, if this is your first DVD product, some of the terms used to describe the features of a DVD player may be unfamiliar. The following explanations should solve some of the mysteries of DVD, and help you to enjoy all the power and flexibility of the DVD format and the DVD.

Aspect Ratio: This is a description of the width of a video image in relation to its height. A con- ventional video screen is four units wide for every three units of height, making it almost square. Newer, wide-aspect ratio video displays are 16 units wide for every nine units of height, making them more like the screen in a movie theater. The program material on a DVD may be recorded in either format and, in addition, you may configure the DVD to play back in either format, depending on the features recorded

on a disc.

Chapter: DVD programs are divided into chap- ters and titles. Chapters are the subsections programmed into a single title on a disc. Chapters may be compared to the individual tracks on an audio CD. Press the Menu button to see a listing of the chapters on a disc.

Component Video: This is an advanced form of video signal which eliminates many of the arti- facts of traditional composite-video signals by splitting the signal into a separate luminance channel and two color-difference signals. With a component-video connection, you will see greater picture resolution and eliminate many picture imperfections, such as the moiré pat- terns often seen on check-patterned cloths. However, in order to benefit from component video, you must have a video display with Y/Pr/Pb component-video inputs. Do not connect the component-video outputs of the DVD600II to the standard composite or S-Video inputs of a TV or recorder.

MP3: MP3 is a format of data file containing a compressed version of an audio selection. Numerous MP3 files are available for download

from the Internet onto your personal computer. Many users are able to copy these files onto compact discs. Until recently, it has not been pos- sible to play these discs in a standard CD or DVD player. However, the DVD600II is capable of rec- ognizing and playing program material on MP3 audio discs.

Multiple Angle: DVDs have the capability to show up to four different views of the same scene in a program. When a disc is encoded with multiple-angle information, pressing the Angle button will enable you to switch between these different views. Note that, at present, few discs take advantage of this capability and, when they do, the multiple-angle technology may only be present for short periods of time within the disc. Producers will usually insert some sort of icon or graphic in the picture to alert you to the availability of multiple-angle scenes.

Reading: This is a message that you will see when you first press the Play button. It refers to the fact that the player must first examine the contents of the disc to see whether it is a CD or DVD, and then extract the information about the type of material on the disc, such as languages, aspect ratios, subtitles, number of titles and more. The slight delay while the con- tents of the disc are read is normal.

Resume: The operation of the Stop button on the DVD600II works differently from what you are used to on CD or CD players. On a traditional CD player, when you press the Stop button, the unit does just that: it stops playback. On a CD player, when you press the Start button again, the disc starts from the beginning. With the DVD600II, however, you have two options when playing CDs or DVDs (but not MP3 discs). Pressing Stop once will stop the playback, but it actually puts the unit in the Resume mode. This means that you can turn the machine off and, when you press Play the next time, the disc will resume or continue from the point on the disc where the Stop button was pressed. This is helpful if you are watching a movie and must interrupt your viewing session but wish to pick up where you left off. Pressing the Stop button twice will stop the machine in a traditional manner and, when the disc is played again, it will start from the beginning.

Title: For a DVD, a title is defined as an entire movie or program. For a DVD-Audio disc, the title may be defined as the audio track, e.g., lin- ear PCM or 5.1-channel Dolby Digital. There may be as many chapters within a title as the producers decide to include. Most discs include
