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

Regarding DVD-AudioSome 5.1 channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing ( ➜page 39, Glossary) of all or part of their contents if this is the manufacturer’s intention. 
When playing such discs, or such parts of the disc, unless the num ber of connected speakers is the same as the disc’s channel specification, audio 
will not be output properly (e.g., part of the audio is missing, 5. 1 channel sound cannot be selected and audio is played in two channels). Refer to the 
disc’s jacket for more information.
Maintenance
DO DO NOT
Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty. 
Failure to 
do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the unit.
