    What is MP3? MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3.
    MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*). That means,by using MP3
    format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.
    CD-R MP3 DISC
    • Only CD-R discs with MP3 files in ISO 9660 or Joliet format can be played.
    • The file name of the MP3 file may not be longer than 8 characters and should contain no blank spaces or special
    characters.
    • Use discs recorded with a compression/decompression data rate greater than 128Kbps.
    • Only files with the .mp3 and .MP3 extensions can be played.
    • Only a consecutively written Multisession disc can be played. If there is a blank segment in the Multisession disc,
    the disc can be played only up to the blank segment.
    • If the disc is not closed, it will take longer to begin playback and not all of the recorded files may be played.
    • For files encoded in Variable Bit Rate (VBR) format, i.e. files encoded in both low bit rate and high bit rate (e.g.,
    32Kbps ~ 320Kbps), the sound may skip during playback.
    Depending on the recording mode, some MP3-CD cannot be played.20
    Turn on your TV when playing back an MP3 disc.
    Operations Using the On-Screen Display
    When the loaded MP3 disc is recognized, the following 
    on-screen display appears on the TV screen.
    (The contents of this on-screen display vary according to
    the disc — the way MP3 tracks were recorded on the
    disc.)

    Repeating Playback
    • Each time you press the button, repeat mode
    changes as follows:
    Press the REPEAT button.
    The indication corresponding to the selected mode
    appears on the TV screen.
    REPEAT:RANDOM
    : 
    All tracks recorded on the disc will be played once in random order.
    REPEAT:ONE
    : Current track will be repeated.

    •Your DVD player can also play CD-R and CD-
    RW discs recorded in digital audio format.
    When recording your own CD-R or CD-RW
    discs, make sure that the recording session is
    properly terminated, or they will not be
    playable. (Depending on disc properties and
    recording quality, some CD-R/RW may not be
    playable.)
    •CD-RW has a lower reflection rate than CD-R
    media and consequently it will take a longer to
    read CD-R discs.
    •CD-RW discs recorded at high speed tend to
    be difficult for the DVD player to read. If the
    recording speed for the CD-RW disc is not
    predetermined, write it at low speed.

    aligned at about ear level and at a horizontal angle of 45°to the
    prime listening position.
    Ideally the center speaker should be positioned with its top
    surface flush with the front speakers. However, you may place
    the speaker either on top or near the bottom of your TV set.
    Place the subwoofer at any convenient location within
    the vicinity of the listening position. Set the rear speakers further back, parallel to the walls,
    at 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above prime listening
    position ear level.
    If the space behind the listening position is insufficient
    (i.e., too close to the wall), place the rear speakers facing
    each other on either side.

    Otherwise, change the setting according to the table.
    When 5.1CH Surround Sound is played, you can enjoy the best sound if the distance between you and each speaker is the
    same. Since the sounds arrive at the listening position at different times depending on the placement of speakers, you can
    adjust this difference by adding a delay effect to the sound of the Center Speaker and Surround Speakers.

    Creating Realistic Sound Fields
    You can use the following surround modes to reproduce a realistic sound field.
    • Digital Multichannel Surround —Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround
    • Dolby Pro Logic 
    II
    Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround
    To enjoy surround effectively, all the speakers need to be connected and activated.
    Dolby Digital
    Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby Digital (                  ).
    Dolby Digitalencoding method (discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format)records and digitally compresses the left front
    channel,right front channel,center channel,left rear channel,right rear channel,and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels,but LFE
    channel is counted as 0.1 channel.Therefore, LFE is called the 5.1 channel).
    In addition,Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds,and sets the cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz,compared to 7 kHz
    for Dolby Pro Logic.These facts result in better sound quality than Dolby Pro Logic.
    When the system detects Dolby Digital signals,the DOLBY DIGITAL indicator lights up on the display.
    DTS Digital Surround
    Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround (           ).
    DTS Digital Surroundis another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD,LD,and DVD software.
    Compared to Dolby Digital,audio compression rate is relatively low.
    This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds.As a result,DTS Digital
    Surround features natural,solid and clear sound.
    When the system detects DTS Digital Surround signals, the DTS indicator lights up on the display.
    Dolby Pro Logic II 
    • Dolby Pro-Logic II is a new multi-channel playback format developed by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic
    steering technology and offering improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits.
    • Dolby Pro Logic II can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround (                          ) but also
    regular stereo sources into five channels (front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) to achieve
    surround sound.
    • Whereas with conventional Dolby Pro Logic the surround channel playback frequency band was limited, Dolby Pro
    Logic II offers a wider band range.  
    In addition, the surround channels were monaural (the surround left and right channels were the same) with previous
    Dolby Pro Logic, but with Dolby Pro Logic II they are stereo.
    * Sources recorded in Dolby Surround
    These are sources in which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of signals
    using Dolby Surround encoding technology.
    Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and video cassettes to be played on
    stereo VCRs, as well as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts and cable TV.
    Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic makes it possible to achieve multi-channel surround playback.  
    The signals can also be played on ordinary stereo equipment, in which case they provide normal stereo sound.

    Dolby Pro Logic II decoder
    Dolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing multichannel audio signals that offers improvements over
    conventional Dolby Pro Logic. It can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround, but
    also regular stereo sources into five channels (front left/right, center and surround left/right). In addition,
    various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so you can adjust the
    sound field with greater precision.This function works only in the DPL II M (Dolby Pro Logic II Music) Mode.
    Pro Logic II Mode
    Select one of the modes (“Music”, “Cinema”, “Pro Logic” or “MATRIX”).
    • The Music mode is recommended when listening to CDs or watching DVDs with mostly
    musical content.
    • The Cinema mode is best when watching movies.
    • The Pro Logic mode offers the same surround processing as original Pro Logic and is
    best used when the source contents are not of optimum quality.
    • The Matrix mode is useful for when the audio is mono.
