≥Discs must conform to UDF bridge (UDF 1.02/ISO9660).
≥This unit does not support multi-session. Only the default session is played.
CD-R/RW
≥Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended formats).
≥This unit supports multi-session but if there are many sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number 
of sessions to a minimum to avoid this.
Wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.≥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.

Troubleshooting guide (continued)
There is ghosting when HDMI or progressive output is 
on.
This problem is caused by the editing method or material 
used on DVD-Video, but should be corrected if you use 
interlaced output. When using the HDMI AV OUT terminal, 
set “VIDEO FORMAT” in Menu 4 to “480i” or “576i”. Or, 
disable the HDMI AV OUT connection and use other video 
connections. (
B9, 21)
Distorted sound or noise is heard.
“ST” flickers or does not light.
≥Adjust the position of the FM antenna.
≥Use an outdoor antenna. (B8)
A beat sound is heard.Turn the TV off or move it away from the unit.
The USB drive or its contents cannot be read.
≥The USB drive format or its contents is/are not 
compatible with the system. (B24)
≥The USB host function of this product may not work 
with some USB devices.
≥USB devices with storage capacity of more than 32 GB

Glossary
DecoderA decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to 
normal. This is called decoding.
DivXDivX 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.
Dolby DigitalThis is a method of coding digital signals developed by 
Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, 
these signals can also be 5.1-channel sound.
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.
Film and videoDVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. This 
unit can determine which type has been used, then uses the 
most suitable method of progressive output.
Film:Recorded at 25 frames per second (PAL discs) or 
24 frames per second (NTSC discs). (NTSC discs 
recorded at 30 frames per second as well). 
Generally appropriate for motion picture films.
Video:Recorded at 25 frames/50 fields per second (PAL 
discs) or 30 frames/60 fields per second (NTSC 
discs). Generally appropriate for TV drama 
programs or animation.
Frame still and field still
Frames 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 TV 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.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a next-generation 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, 1080i, 1080p) from the HDMI AV OUT 
terminal. To enjoy high-definition video, a high-definition 
compatible TV is required.
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 colour still 
pictures. 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.
MPEG4
A compression system for use on mobile devices or a 
network, that allows highly efficient recording at a low bit 
rate.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes 
and information with menus.
Progressive/Interlaced
The PAL video signal standard has 576 interlaced (i) scan 
lines, whereas progressive scanning, called 576p, uses 
twice the number of scan lines. For the NTSC standard, 
these are called 480i and 480p respectively.
Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution 
video recorded on media such as DVD-Video.
Your TV must be compatible 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.
WMA
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.
