Additional DVD Information

Screen Saver

Ascreen 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

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. Asingle 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.
