Additional DVD Information

Screen Saver

A screen saver appears when you leave the DVD+VCR in stop mode for about five minutes. After the screen saver has been active for about five minutes, the DVD+VCR will power off automatically.

Video Mode Setting DVD

With certain discs, the picture may flicker or you may see “dot crawl” along straight lines. This usually means that the unit’s vertical interpolation and/or de- interlace are not perfectly matched with the disc. If so, you may be able to improve picture quality by chang- ing the video mode.

To change the video mode, press and hold DISPLAY for about 3 seconds during disc playback. The new video mode number is displayed on the TV screen. Check whether the video quality has improved. If not, repeat the above procedure until picture quality is improved.

Video mode change sequence:

MODE1 → MODE2 → MODE3 → MODE4 →

MODE5 → MODE1

If you turn off the power, the video mode will revert to its initial state (MODE1).

Notes on MP3 Discs

About MP3

MP3 files are audio data files compressed using MPEG1, the standard audio layer-3 file encoding scheme that compresses audio files up to 1/12 of their original size. Files with the “.mp3” file extension are referred to as “MP3 files”.

The player can only read MP3 files with the “.mp3” file extension. However, it cannot read fake MP3 files that have the “.mp3” file extension.

MP3 disc compatibility with this player is limit- ed as follows:

1.Sampling Frequency: 44.1kHz only

2.Bit rate: from 32 - 320kbps

3.CD-R physical format: “ISO 9660”

4.If you record MP3 files using encoding software that cannot create a file system (for example “Direct- CD”), the disc cannot be played. “Easy-CD Creator” is recommended, as it creates an ISO9660 file sys- tem.

5.A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there are no MP3 files in the first track, the disc cannot be played. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.

6.CD-RW discs are not recommended. Please use fin- ished CD-R discs only.

7.File names must be 8 letters or less and must incor- porate the “.mp3” extension; e.g., “song.mp3”.

8.Do not use special characters, such as “_?!><+*}{`[@ ]:;\/.,” etc.

9.The total number of files on the disc should be less than 200.

10.Use 74-minute CD-R discs (650M). Do not use 80- minute CD-R discs (700M).

This DVD+VCR requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files).

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.
