Introduction (see pages 1 and 2)

Playable Disc Types:

•If you play back an NTSC disc with the scan mode set to “PAL (PRG),” you can watch the playback picture (the disc will be reproduced using “PAL 60” format), but the TV screen may not display properly.

•If you play back a PAL disc with the scan mode set to “NTSC (PRG),” you can watch the playback picture, but the following symptoms may occur:

–The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and be shown slightly shifted when highlighted.

–The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the original aspect ratio.

–The picture movement is not smooth.

•About audio format

–Linear PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, the same format used for CDs and most studio masters.

–Dolby Digital: Compressed digital audio, developed by Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode to create the realistic surround sound.

–DTS (Digital Theater Systems): Compressed digital audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it provides wider dynamic range and better separation.

–MLP: Compressed digital audio which enables lossless compression of DVD Audio.

Connections (see pages 3 to 6)

Changing the Color System and Scanning Mode:

•Do not change to progressive scanning mode in the following cases:

–When your TV does not support the progressive video input.

–When you have not connected your TV to the unit using a component video cord.

•When you play back an NTSC disc in progressive scanning mode, the System outputs the NTSC signal regardless of color system settings.

Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 8 to 11)

Listening to the Radio:

•If you store a new station into an occupied preset number, the previously stored station in that number will be erased.

•When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If this happens, preset the stations again.

Playing Back a Disc:

•On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual operations may be different from what is explained in this manual, due to the programming and disc structure; such differences are not a malfunction of this System.

•This System can recognize up to 4 000 files in a disc. Also, the System can recognize up to 150 files per group and up to 99 groups in a disc.

–If there are any unplayable files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total file number.

–Playable files which do not belong to any groups are handled as Group 1.

•CA-MXDK5 only: Some DVD Audio discs prohibit downmix. When you play back such a disc, “LR ONLY” appears on the display and the System plays back the left front and right front signals.

•CA-MXDK5 only: When playing back a DVD Audio disc recorded in MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing; a lossless audio compression system that can completely recreate the PCM signals), the signals are recognized as the linear PCM signals, however, no indicator lights up in the display window.

•For DVD-VR playback...

–When making a disc, use the UDF-Bridge format.

–For details about DVD-VR format and playlist, refer to the manual of the recording equipment.

–You cannot use reverse Slow-motion playback, Program Play or Random Play.

•For MP3/WMA playback...

–This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

–MP3 discs require a longer readout time than regular CDs depending on the complexity of the group/file configuration.

–Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will be skipped. This results from their recording processes and conditions.

–When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 for the disc format.

–It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This System cannot play back files made at a bit rate of less than 64 kbps.

•For MPEG-1/MPEG-2 playback...

–The stream format should conform to MPEG system/ program stream.

–720 x 576 pixels (25 fps)/720 x 480 pixels (30 fps) is recommended for the highest resolution.

–This System also supports the resolutions of 352 x 576/ 480 x 576/352 x 288 pixels (25 fps) and 352 x 480/480 x 480/352 x 240 pixels (30 fps).

–The file format should be MP@ML (Main Profile at Main Level)/SP@ML (Simple profile at Main Level)/ MP@LL (Main Profile at Low Level).

–Audio streams should conform to MPEG1 Audio layer-2 or MPEG2 Audio Layer-2.
