Additional Information
Learning More about This System
Getting Started
(see pages 3 to 6)
Changing the Scanning Mode:
•To enjoy the progressive video picture, connect a TV with
the progressive video input using component video cord.
Daily Operations—Playback
(see pages 10 to 15)
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 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 malfunction of this System.
• When discs* in more than one tray are loaded on the disc
trays, they are played in sequence as follows. (When DVD
Video, DVD Audio or SVCD/VCD with PBC is loaded in
the System, playback of the disc next to these discs will not
start.):
Ex.: When DISC 2 is selected:
DISC 2]
DISC 3]
DISC 4]
DISC 5]
DISC 1]
(then stops)
* When no disc is loaded on the disc tray, the disc number
is skipped.
•You can exchange discs while playing or selecting another
disc.
•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 OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT
terminal.
• For DVD-VR playback...
– When making a disc, use the UDF-Bridge format.
–For details about DVD-VR format and play list, refer to
the manual of the recording equipment.
– If you use a DVD-RAM with a cartridge, take the disc
out of the cartridge before inserting.
–You cannot use reverse slow motion, Program Play, and
Random Play.
• For DivX playback...
– The System supports DivX 5.x, 4.x and 3.11.
– The System supports the DivX files whose resolution is
720 x 480 pixels or less (30 fps), and 720 x 576 pixels or
less (25 fps).
– Audio stream should conform to MPEG 1 Audio Layer-
2 or MPEG 1 Audio Layer-3 (MP3).
– The System does not support GMC (Global Motion
Compression).
– The file encoded in the interlaced scanning mode may
not be played back correctly.
– The System has its own Registration code for DivX
playback.
– If necessary, you can confirm the Registration code of
your System (see page 38).
• For MP3/JPEG playback...
– This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
– MP3/JPEG discs require a longer readout time than
regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/
file configuration.)
–Some MP3/JPEG files cannot be played back and will be
skipped. This results from their recording processes and
conditions.
–When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level
2 for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3/JPEG files with the
extension code <.mp3> or <.jpg> (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 a bit rate of 128 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.
– This System can show up to 23 characters of the file
(track) names (except for extension) and 30 characters of
the ID3 tags on the display and the TV screen.
–Some characters or symbols will not be shown (and will
be blanked) on the display.
• 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/DivX
except for some discs—depending how the disc is
programmed.
Playing Back from the PC:
• Check if your PC equipped with the CD-ROM drive is
running on WindowsR
98*, WindowsR
98SE*, WindowsR
Me*, WindowsR
2000*, or WindowsR
XP* and prepare its
CD-ROM.
•DO NOT turn off the System or disconnect the USB cable
while installing the drivers and for several seconds each
time you PC is recognizing the System.
• Use a full speed USB cable (version 1.1).
• If your PC does not recognize the System, disconnect the
USB cable and connect it again. If this does not work,
restart Windows.
•The drivers installed can be recognized only when the USB
cable is connected between the System and your PC.
