The
Note on Region Code
DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own Region Code numbers. This system can play back DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code numbers include the system’s Region Code, which is indicated on the rear panel.
Examples:
If a DVD VIDEO with an improper Region Code number is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and playback cannot start.
•On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs, their actual operation may be different from what is explained in this manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of this system.
Notes on
•This system supports
•This system cannot play “packet write” (UDF format) discs. Some discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.
Discs that cannot be played back
•
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers.
Damaged discs and discs in an extraordinary shape (other than a disc of 12 cm or 8 cm in diameter) cannot be played back.
Notes on all files
•The system can only recognize and play files with one of the following extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower case;
•MP3: “.mp3”
•WMA: “.wma”
•JPEG: “.jpg”, “.jpeg”
•MPEG1/MPEG2: “.mpg”, “.mpeg”
•ASF: “.asf”
•DivX: “.divx”, “.div”, “.avi”
•If a character other than single byte English characters is used in the file name, the track/file name will not be displayed correctly.
•The system recognizes up to 150 tracks (files) per group, 99 groups per disc, and the total number of the tracks (files) that the system can play is 4 000.
•Since the unit ignores the tracks/files whose numbers are exceeding 150 and the groups whose numbers are exceeding 99, they cannot be played back.
•Some files may not be played back normally because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.
