•The following discs cannot be played back;

–DVD-Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-R,

DVD-RW, CD-ROM, CD-I, (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.

Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers.

Disc structure — DVD, Video CD (VCD) and Audio CD (CD)

A DVD disc consists of Titles, and each title may be divided into some Chapters. (See Example 1.)

For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and it may be further divided into some chapters.

On the other hand, a VCD or CD consists of Tracks. (See Example 2.)

In general, each song has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be divided by Indexes.)

When playing back a VCD with Playback Control (PBC) function, you can select what to view using the menu shown on the TV screen. (While operating a Video CD using the menu, some of the functions such as Repeat and Variable Speed Search may not work.)

Example 1: DVD disc

Example 2 : Video CD/Audio CD

* Note on Region Code

DVD players and DVD Video discs have their own Region Code numbers. This unit only can play back DVD discs recorded with the color system of NTSC whose Region Code numbers include “1.”

Examples:

IMPORTANT: Before performing any operations, make

sure of the following....

•Check the connection with the TV.

•Turn on the TV and select the correct input on the TV to view the pictures or on-screen indications on the TV screen.

•For DVD playback, you can change the Setup menu setting to your preference. (See pages 28 – 30.)

If “ INVALID” appears on the TV screen when

pressing a button, the disc cannot accept the operation you have tried to do.

Note on CD-R and CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized.”

•The player can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer only if it has been recorded in the audio CD format. (However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)

•Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

•Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player’s lens is dirty.

•CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.
