RQTC0147 20 Tips for making WMA, MP3, JPEG, MPEG4 and DivX discs §1CD-R/RW ≥Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended formats). ≥This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of sessions to a minimum to avoid this. §2DVD-RAM Discs must conform to UDF 2.0. §3DVD-R/RW ≥Discs must conform to UDF bridge (UDF 1.02/ISO9660). ≥This unit is not compatible with multi-session. Only the default session is played. ≥If groups were created away from the root like “002 group” in the illustration right, the eighth one onwards is displayed on the same vertical line in the menu screen. ≥There may be differences in the display order on the menu screen and computer screen. ≥This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.Naming folders and files (Files are treated as contents and folders are treated as groups on this unit.) At the time of recording, prefix folder and file names. This should be with numbers that have an equal number of digits, and should be done in the order you want to play them (this may not work at times). CPPM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media) A copy protection system used for DVD-Audio files. This unit supports CPPM. Down-mixing This is a process of remixing the multi-channel audio (surround sound) on some discs into two channels. When you want to listen to the audio on a DVD with a 5.1 channel digital surround track through your TV speakers, the down-mixed audio will be output. Some DVD-Audio prevent down-mixing of all or part of their contents. When playing such discs, or such parts of the disc, unless the number of connected speakers is the same as the disc’s channel specification, audio will not be output properly. DivX DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain highly compressed video with high visual quality that maintains a relatively small file size. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products. Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit supports high-definition video output [720p (750p), 1080i (1125i),1080p (1125p)] from HDMI AV OUT terminal. To enjoy high-definition video a high definition compatible TV is required.MPEG4 A compression system for use on mobile devices or a network, that allows highly efficient recording at a low bit rate. Progressive/Interlace The video signal standard of NTSC has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas progressive (p) scanning uses twice the number of scan lines, and this is referred to as 480p. Using progressive output, you can enjoy watching high resolution video recorded on disc, such as DVD-Video. Please note that your TV must be capable of progressive output to enjoy progressive video. Sampling frequency Sampling 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. Clean this unit with a soft, dry cloth.≥Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit. ≥Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that came with the cloth carefully. ≥Cleaning of the lens is generally not necessary although this depends on the operating environment. ≥Do not use commercially available lens cleaners as they may cause malfunction.
