Notes on Discs/CardsNotes on CD-Rs/RWs≥ You may have trouble playing back some 
CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD recorders 
(CD-R/RW drives), either due to their recording 
characteristics or dirt, fi ngerprints, scratches, etc. 
on the disc surface.
≥ CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high 
temperatures and high humidity than ordinary 
music CDs. Leaving them inside a car for 
extended periods may damage them and make 
playback impossible.
≥ Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back 
successfully thanks to incompatibility among 
writing software, a CD recorder (CD-R/RW drive) 
and the discs.
≥ This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the 
session is not closed.
≥ This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which 
contain data other than CD-DA or MP3 data.
≥ Be sure to observe the instructions of CD-R/RW 
disc for handling it.
MaintenanceHow to hold the disc or card
≥ Do not touch the play surface or the terminal 
surface.
≥ Do not scratch the disc or card.
≥ Do not bend the disc or card.
≥ When not in use, keep the disc or card in the case.Label sideDo not use discs that fi t any of the descriptions 
given below. Using these discs may damage the 
discs or cause the unit to malfunction.

SD card precautions
≥Do not leave the SD cards where they will  become 
hot or exposed to direct sunlight or where 
electromagnetic waves or static occurs readily. 
Failure to heed this precaution may cause the 
cards to be damaged or their data to be lost.
≥ Keep the terminal area on the back of the cards 
free from dirt, water and foreign matter. Do not 
touch this area with your hands or any other 
objects.
≥ Static or malfunctioning of the unit or the cards 
may cause the cards to be damaged or their data 
to be lost. It is recommended that valuable data 
be stored on the PC as well. Do not leave discs or cards on the following 
places:
≥ Direct  sunlight
≥ Near car heaters
≥ Dirty, dusty and damp areas
≥ Seats and dashboards
Disc cleaning
Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe from the center 
outward.


Do not attach any seals or labels to your discs.
Do not detach the label and do not attach other 
labels to the card.
Do not write anything on the disc label with a 
pointed pen or hard-point pen.
When inserting a disc into or ejecting and 
removing it from the unit, insert it straight in or 
eject and remove it straight out in parallel with 
the unit. Otherwise, the disc may be scratched or

Defi nition of Terms
Playback control (Video CD)
If the Video CD has “With Playback Control” or 
others written on the disc surface or on the jacket, 
the scenes or information to be viewed (or listened 
to) can be selected interactively with the screen  by 
looking at the menu shown on the screen.
In these instructions, playback using the menu 
screen is referred to as the “menu play” for video 
CDs. This player supports Video CDs with playback 
control.
SD memory card
The SD is a compact memory card that can hold 
many kinds of data including video, music and 
photos. More than 520 companies worldwide 
support the SD standard. It is becoming popular as 
a bridge medium that lets different types of devices 
share data.
Title, Chapter (DVD)
DVDs are divided into some large sections (titles) 
or some small sections (chapters). Each section is 
numbered; these numbers are called “Title number” 
or “Chapter number”.Title 1 Title 2
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 ········ Chapter 1 ········
Track (Video CD/CD)
Video CDs or CDs are divided into some sections 
(tracks). Each section is numbered; these numbers 
are called “Track number”.Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 ········ Digital audio output connector (Optical)
The digital audio output connector (optical) converts 
electrical signals into optical signals and transfers 
them to the amplifi er. Consequently, it has a number 
of features including its immunity from electrical 
interference from external sources and its ability 
to prevent the generation of noise and its minimal 
effect on the external environment.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a technology developed by Dolby 
Laboratories.
Soundtracks encoded in Dolby Digital can reproduce 
from one to 5.1 discrete channels of excellent 
quality audio.
Interactive DVD

multiple angles, multiple plot endings, etc.
Letterbox screen
This refers to a screen on which the playback 
picture of wide-screen DVDs or Video CDs appears 
with black bands running along the top and bottom.
Linear PCM audio (LPCM)
This refers to a signal recording format used in CDs. 
While CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVDs 
are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit, 
thus achieving higher quality audio than that of CDs.
MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group)
MPEG, which stands for Moving Picture Experts 
Group, is the name of family of standards used for 
coding audio-visual information (e.g., movies, 
video, music) in a digital compressed format. MPEG 
1 is applied to Video CDs, MPEG 2 to DVD video 
and MPEG 4 targets telecommunications, such as 
mobile phones and the internet, and is capable of 
transferring video images at high speed and with a 
lower volume of data.
Pan & Scan screen
This refers to a screen on which the playback 
picture of wide-screen DVDs or Video CDs is cut off 
at the left and right sides. 
. The display returns to the previous one when [RET] (RETURN) is 
pressed. (The setting is not refl ected.)
