Discs that can be played
Operations in these instructions are described mainly with formats. Icons such as [DVD-V] show the formats.
§1Functions added with DivX Ultra are not supported.§2Includes single-sided, dual-layer discs.§3A process that allows play on compatible equipment.
≥It may not be possible to play all the above-mentioned discs in some cases due to the type of disc or condition of the recording.
∫Discs that cannot be played
DVD-RW version 1.0, 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 television must match 
the system used on the disc.
– PAL discs cannot be correctly viewed on an NTSC television.
– This unit can convert NTSC signals to PAL 60 for viewing on a PAL 
television (➜page 24, “NTSC Disc Output” in “Video” tab).
∫To clean discs
Wipe with a damp cloth and 
then wipe dry.
∫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.
Clean this unit with a soft, dry cloth.≥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. DVD-Video [DVD-V]

≥[CD] This unit is compatible with HDCD, but does not support the Peak Extend function (a function which expands the 
dynamic range of high-level signals). 
HDCD-encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with 20 bits, as compared with 16 bits for all other CDs.
≥[WMA] [MP3] [JPEG] This unit also plays HighMAT discs.
≥[WMA] This unit does not support Multiple Bit Rate (MBR: a file that contains the same content encoded at several 
different bit rates).
Disc cautionMaintenance
Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty. Failure to 
do so will risk severely damaging the disc and the unit.

Glossary
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 multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be 
recorded on one disc using this method.
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 television 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.
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 color still pictures. If you 
select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the data will 
be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. 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 television 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.
WMA (Windows MediaTM Audio)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.
