RQT8779 12 Discs that can be played / Disc caution / Maintenance Discs that can be played Operations in these instructions are described mainly with formats. Icons such as [DVD-V] show the formats. §A process that allows play on compatible equipment. ≥It may not be possible to play all the above-mentioned discs in some cases due to the type of disc or condition of the recording. ∫Discs that cannot be played DVD-RW version 1.0, DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, CDV, CD-G, SACD, DivX Video Discs and Photo CD, DVD-RAM that cannot be removed from their cartridge, 2.6-GB and 5.2-GB DVD-RAM, and “Chaoji VCD” available on the market including CVD, DVCD and SVCD that do not conform to IEC62107. ∫To clean discs Wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry. ∫Disc handling precautions ≥Do not attach labels or stickers to discs. This may cause disc warping, rendering it unusable. ≥Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing instrument. ≥Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, liquids which prevent static electricity, or any other solvent. ≥Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers. ≥Do not use the following discs: – Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or labels (rented discs, etc). – Discs that are badly warped or cracked. – Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart shapes. Clean this unit with a soft, dry cloth.≥Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit. ≥Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the instructions that came with the cloth. Do not use commercially available lens cleaners as they may cause malfunction. Cleaning of the lens is generally not necessary although this depends on the operating environment. DVD-Video [DVD-V] — DVD-Audio [DVD-A] [DVD-V] ≥[DVD-V] Some DVD-Audio discs contain DVD-Video content. To play DVD-Video content, select “Play as DVD-Video” in Other Menu (➜page 22). Video CD [VCD] ≥Including SVCD (Conforming to IEC62107) DVD-RAM [DVD-VR] [JPEG] ≥[DVD-VR] Recorded with devices using Version 1.1 of the Video Recording Format (a unified video recording standard), such as DVD video recorders, DVD video cameras, personal computers, etc. ≥[JPEG] Recorded with Panasonic SD multi cameras or DVD video recorders using the DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) Standard Version 1.0.

CD [CD] [WMA] [MP3] [JPEG] [VCD] ≥This unit can play CD-R/RW recorded with the above formats. Close the sessions or finalize § the disc after recording. ≥[CD] This unit is compatible with HDCD, but does not support the Peak Extend function (a function which expands the dynamic range of high-level signals). HDCD-encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with 20 bits, as compared with 16 bits for all other CDs. ≥[WMA] [MP3] [JPEG] This unit also plays HighMAT discs. ≥[WMA] This unit does not support Multiple Bit Rate (MBR: an encoding process for audio content that produces an audio file encoded at several different bit rates). Note about using a DualDisc≥The digital audio content side of a DualDisc does not meet the technical specifications of the Compact Disc Digital Audio (CD-DA) format so playback may not be possible. ≥Do not use a DualDisc in this unit as it may not be possible to insert it correctly and it may get scratched or scraped. Disc cautionMaintenance Before moving the unit, ensure the disc trays are empty. Failure to do so will risk severely damaging the discs and the unit.

RQT8779 13 Product Service / Glossary Product Service 1. Damage requiring service— The unit should be serviced by qualified service personnel if: (a) The AC power supply cord or AC adaptor has been damaged; or (b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or (c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or (d) The unit does not operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or (e) The unit has been dropped or the cabinet damaged. 2. Servicing— Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that described in these operating instructions. Refer all other servicing to authorized servicing personnel. 3. Replacement parts— When parts need replacing ensure the servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. 4. Safety check— After repairs or service, ask the servicer to perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working condition. The servicer will require all components to service your system. Therefore, should service ever be necessary, be sure to bring the entire system. For product information or assistance with product operation, refer to “Customer Services Directory” on page 38. DecoderA decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding. Dolby DigitalThis is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method. DTS (Digital Theater Systems)This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible. Dynamic rangeDynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs. Frame still and field stillFrames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second. One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields one after the other to create frames. A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so picture quality is lower. I/P/BMPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types. I:Intra coded picture This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture. P:Predictive coded picture This picture is calculated based on past I- or P-pictures. B:Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I- and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of compression. Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs. MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality. Playback control (PBC)If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus. Progressive/InterlacedNTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480p. Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video recorded on media such as DVD-Video. Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video. Sampling frequencySampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound. WMA (Windows MediaTM Audio)WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller than that of MP3.
