5 5 423 454 About discs Playable disc types This system has been designed to play back the following types of discs: DVD Video (DVD), Video CD (VCD), Super Video CD (SVCD), Audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW • This system can also play back MP3 and JPEG files recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs. For in-depth information about MP3, see “MP3 disc playback” on page 46, and for JPEG, see “JPEG disc playback” on page 48. • Finalized DVD-R discs recorded with the DVD VIDEO format can be played back. However, some discs may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording conditions. Discs you can play: Disc Mark Video Region Code Type (Logo) Format Number* DVD Video NTSC/PAL4 (DVD) ALL Video CD NTSC/PAL —— (VCD) Super Video CD NTSC/PAL —— (SVCD) Audio CD —— —— CD-R —— —— CD-RW —— —— *Note on Region Code DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers. This system can play back only DVDs recorded with the color system of NTSC or PAL whose Region Code numbers include “4.” Ex.: If a DVD with the improper Region Code numbers is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR” appears on the display and playback cannot start. • The following disc types cannot be played back: DVD Audio, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc. Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the speakers. COMPACT DIGITAL AUDIO •On some DVD, VCD, or SVCD discs, the actual operations may be different from what is explained in this manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure, and this is not a malfunction of this system. •Notes 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 system can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer if they have been recorded in the Audio CD format. The system can also play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3 tracks (files) or JPEG files are recorded on them. Note that the configuration and characteristics of an MP3 disc or a JPEG disc is determined by the writing (encoding) software and hardware used for recording. Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the following symptoms may occur: • Some discs may not be played back at all. • Some tracks (files) on an MP3 disc are skipped and may not be played back normally. • Some files on a JPEG disc may be distorted during playback. – Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully. – CD-RWs may require a longer read-out time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs. 7About MP3 discs This system can play MP3 files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW. We call such a disc “MP3 disc” in this manual. MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression. By using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD- RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can. This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and calls files and folders as “tracks” and “groups.” 7About JPEG discs This system can play JPEG files such as digital photographs recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW. We call such a disc “JPEG disc” in this manual. JPEG is a still-picture data compression system proposed by Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio. This system simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and calls folders as “groups.” EN01-15.TH-A75[A]_f02.10.11, 2:51 PM 5
6 Title 1 Chapter 1Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Title 2 Chapter 1Chapter 2 Track 1 Track 2 Track 3Track 4 Track 5 Disc structure A DVD disc consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and it may be further divided into chapters. Playback Control function (PBC) —Only for VCD and SVCD The Playback Control function allows you to enjoy menu- driven operation and high-resolution still images with a resolution four times greater than moving pictures. •High-resolution still image display You can display high-quality images which are four times clearer than moving pictures. •Menu-driven playback A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a VCD or SVCD disc with the Playback Control function. The selection menu shows a list of numbers to pick from. Some discs may show moving pictures or a divided screen. You can interact with the screen using a menu display to select and play an entry. The illustration below shows the basic features of menu driven playback. See page 35 for details about using the menu. NOTE: While operating a VCD or SVCD using the menu, some of the functions, such as repeat play, may not work. IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc, make sure of the following.... • Check the connection with the TV. • Turn on the TV and select the correct input mode on the TV to view the pictures or on-screen information on the TV screen. If appears on the TV screen when pressing a button, the disc cannot accept an operation you have tried to do, or information required for that operation is not recorded on the disc. NOTICE: In some cases, without showing , operations will not be accepted. Group 2 Group 1 Group 3 Group 4 Group 5 Track 1Track 2 Group 2 Group 1 Group 3 Group 4 Group 5 File 1File 2 A VCD, SVCD, and Audio CD consist of Òtracks.Ó In general, each track has its own track number. (On some discs, each track may also be divided with Indexes.) On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a track (file). Tracks are usually grouped into a group (folder). Groups can also include other groups, creating hierarchical group layers. This system can recognize up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 tracks). ¥ If there is any type of files other than MP3 files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total number of 150. On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file. Files are usually grouped into a group (folder). Groups can also include another groups, creating hierarchical folder layers. This system can recognize up to 150 files per group, and up to 99 groups per disc (up to 14,850 files). ¥ If there is any type of files other than JPEG files in a folder, those files are also counted in the total number of 150.
