Discs that can be played
RQTX0098 ENGLISH
Discs that can be played
Commercial discs
Recorded discs (±: Playable, 
—: Not playable)
≥It may not be possible to play all the above-mentioned discs in some cases due to the type of disc, the condition of the recording, the recording 
method, or how the files were created (➜33, Tips for making data discs).
§1This unit can play CD-R/RW recorded with CD-DA or Video CD format.§2Discs recorded on DVD recorders or DVD video cameras, etc. using Version 1.1 of the Video Recording Format (a unified video recording standard).§3Discs recorded on DVD recorders or DVD video cameras using Version 1.2 of the Video Recording Format (a unified video recording standard).§4Discs recorded on DVD recorders or DVD video cameras using DVD-Video Format.§5Recorded using a format different from DVD-Video Format, therefore some functions cannot be used.§6A process that allows play on compatible equipment. To play a disc that is indicated as “Necessary”, the disc must first be finalized on the device it 
was recorded on.
§7Closing the session will also work.
∫Discs that cannot be played
Blu-ray, HD DVD, AVCHD discs, DVD-RW version 1.0, DVD-Audio, 
DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, CDV, CD-G, SACD 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.
∫Video systems
– This unit can play PAL and NTSC, but your TV must match the 
system used on the disc.
– PAL discs cannot be correctly viewed on an NTSC TV.
– This unit can convert NTSC signals to PAL 60 for viewing on a PAL 
TV (➜22, “NTSC DISC OUT” in “VIDEO” menu).
∫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.

Glossary
ENGLISH RQTX0098
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 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 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.
MPEG4A 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/InterlacedThe 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 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.

[Note]1 Specifications are subject to change without notice.
Mass and dimensions are approximate.
2 Total harmonic distortion is measured by a digital spectrum analyzer.Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high 
temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These conditions 
can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby shortening the 
unit’s service life. 
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit and 
cause a fire. 
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when setting 
the unit up on a ship or other places where DC is used.
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged. Poor 
connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric shock. Do not pull, 
bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC mains 
lead can cause electric shock. 
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric shock.
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric shock 
or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or 
malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the power 
supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain flammable 
gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted, 
indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not 
covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead and 
contact your dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock or 
damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or 
reconstructed by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power source if it 
is not to be used for a long time.
