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.

Before Operating the System (see pages 7 to 9)

Playable Disc Types:

•If you play back an NTSC disc with this setting set to “PAL,” you can watch the playback pictures (the disc will be reproduced using “PAL 60” format), but the TV screen may roll over upward and downward rapidly.

•If you play back a PAL disc with this setting set to “NTSC,” you can watch the playback pictures, but the following symptoms may occur:

–The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and be shown slightly shifted when highlighted.

–The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the original aspect ratio.

–The picture movement is not smooth.

Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 10 to 14)

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 if a power failure occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If this happens, preset the stations again.

Playing Back a Tape:

•It is not recommended to use the C-120 or longer tapes. These tapes easily jams in the pinch rollers and the capstans, and may cause characteristic deterioration.

Playing Back a Disc:

•For MP3/WMA playback...

–This System cannot play “packet write” discs.

–MP3/WMA discs are required a longer readout time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file configuration.)

–Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will be skipped. This result from their recording processes and conditions.

–When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 for the disc format.

–This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (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 bit rate of 128 kbps. This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less than 64 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.

–Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different from the one you have intended while recording (see page 40). If a folder does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are ignored.

•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 a malfunction of this System.

•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 DVD OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT terminal.

•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 except for some discs—depending how the disc is programmed.

Daily Operations—Sound & Other Adjustments

(see pages 15 to 17)

Adjusting the Volume:

•Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting the headphones.

Adjusting the Sound:

•This function also affects the sound through the headphones.

Setting the Clock:

•“0:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.

•The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this happens, reset the clock.

Unique DVD/VCD Operations (see pages 18 to 20)

•During slow-motion playback, no sound will be reproduced.

•While zoomed in, the picture may look coarse.

Advanced Disc Operations (see pages 21 to 23)

Programming the Playing Order—Program Play:

•If you try to program a 100th track, “MEM FULL” appears on the display.

•While programming steps...

Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an item number that does not exist on the disc (for example, selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks).

Playing at Random—Random Play:

•The 4button does not work for skipping chapters or tracks, but only work for going back to the beginning of the current chapter or track.
