Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 10 to 13)

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:

•When using an 8 cm disc, place it on the inner circle of the disc tray.

•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.

•Some DVD Audio discs prohibit downmixed output. 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.

•3D Phonic setting is also applied to the optical digital output signals through the DVD OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT terminal.

•When using Resume on SVCD or VCD with PBC, the playback might start on a position slightly different from where you have stopped.

•You can use Resume only for the DVD/SVCD/VCD except for some discs—depending how the disc is programmed.

•For MP3/WMA playback...

–This System cannot play “packet write” discs.

–MP3/WMA discs are required a longer readout time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file configuration.)

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

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

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

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

–This System can recognize the total of 1000 tracks and of 99 groups (each group can contain up to 150 tracks). Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be recognized.

–Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different from the one you have intended while recording (see page 40). If a folder does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are ignored.

Daily Operations—Sound & Other Adjustments

(see pages 14 to 16)

Adjusting the Volume:

•Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting the headphones.

Adjusting the Sound:

•This function also affects the sound through the headphones.

Setting the Clock:

•“AM12:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.

•The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this happens, reset the clock.

Unique DVD/VCD Operations (see pages 17 to 19)

•During slow-motion playback, no sound will be reproduced.

•While zoomed in, the picture may look coarse.

Advanced Disc Operations (see pages 20 to 22)

Programming the Playing Order—Program Play:

•If you try to program a 100th track, “MEM FULL” appears on the display.

•While programming steps...

Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an item number that does not exist on the disc (for example, selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks).

Playing at Random—Random Play:

•The 4button does not work for skipping chapters or tracks, but only work for going back to the beginning of the current chapter or track.

On-Screen Disc Operations (see pages 23 to 27)

•For JPEG files playback...

–It is recommended that you record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480, it will take a long time to be shown.)

–This System can play only baseline JPEG files. Progressive

JPEG files or lossless JPEG files cannot be played.

Baseline JPEG format:	Used for digital cameras, web,
	etc.
Progressive JPEG format:	Used for web.
Lossless JPEG format:	An old type and rarely used
	now.

–This System may not play back JPEG files properly which are recorded by the devices other than digital still camera.

–If progressive or lossless JPEG files are played back, a black screen appears. In this case, stop playback and select a baseline JPEG file. Note that it may take a long time to select another file.
