No picture is displayed on the monitor or the screen is blurred or divided into two parts. The unit is in the progressive scan mode (i.e. the PROGRESSIVE indicator is lit) though it is connected to a TV via the VIDEO or S-VIDEO jack. Set the Scan mode selector on the rear panel to 525i, or set it to REMOTE and make the Progressive scan mode inactive by using the FVPP-PROGRESSIVE SCAN button (see pages 7 and 8). A picture is noisy or blurred. The unit is connected to a VCR directly and the copyguard function is activated. Connect the unit so that the picture signal flows directly to the TV. With some discs, a picture may be blurred when setting PROGRESSIVE MODE to FILM or AUTO . Set PROGRESSIVE MODE to VIDEO . (See page 49.) A picture does not fit the television screen.

Additional information 60 Additional information English Frequently Asked Questions Question AnswerRef. page Can I play back DVD VIDEO and Video CD purchased abroad? You can play back the DVD VIDEO discs with the Region Code (local code) containing ALL or 1 recorded in the NTSC or PAL system (PAL disc signals are reproduced by converting to the NTSC system). You can also play back the Video CD discs recorded in the NTSC system. Please check the information on each disc jacket. 4 Can I play back a DVD VIDEO disc without any Region Code number? The Region code indicates the conformity of the disc to the standards. Any DVD VIDEO not conforming to the standards cannot be played back. 4 Can I play back a CD-R/RW disc with still pictures in other than the JPEG format? No, you cannot play back that disc. 4 Can I play back audio on a disc labeled Dolby Digital EX? Y es, you can play back the disc because Dolby Digital EX is compatible with Dolby Digital. However, to get the maximum performance of Dolby Digital EX, we recommend to connect the DIGITAL OUT jack to a decoder or amplifier/receiver with built-in decoder that supports Dolby Digital EX. In this case, set DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT on the AUDIO preference display to STREAM/PCM. 50 Can I play back audio on a disc labeled DTS ES? Is there any difference in the playback settings between Discrete and Matrix recording systems for DTS ES? Though you cannot enjoy audio using the analog audio outputs (AUDIO OUT), you can enjoy DTS ES audio by connecting the DIGITAL OUT jack to a decoder or amplifier/receiver with built-in decoder that supports DTS ES. In this case, set DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT on the AUDIO preference display to STREAM/PCM. 50 Can this unit play back a disc labeled THX? What does THX mean? Y es you can. THX is a name of the original standard for high quality picture/audio recording and playback established by Lucasfilm Ltd. A disc labeled THX is certified that it passed this standard. When files of the MP3 and Audio CD formats are recorded on a same disc, can the unit play back files of both formats? The disc is of the data CD format, therefore, the unit can play back only files of the MP3 format. 4, 39 Some Dolby Digital discs contain 5.1-ch Surround or Dolby Surround audio data. What is the difference between these two types? Both are surround sound standards developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc. in the U.S.A. Dolby Surround records 2-channel surround audio information are recorded onto the analog stereo (left and right) channels together with front stereo audio information. When played back, the surround signals are separated by a Dolby Surround or Dolby Pro Logic decoder. Dolby Digital digitally encodes and records up to six channel information for left, right, center, rear left, rear right and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect for Sub-woofer etc.). When played back, a Dolby Digital decoder decodes data and outputs signals separately. Generally, Dolby Digital sounds better. 4 When playing back a DVD VIDEO or Video CD disc, something like mosaic appears on the TV screen. Is this because of a malfunction of the unit? It is a block noise specific to a motion picture recorded in digital, and is not a malfunction of the unit. The unit does not function as described in this Instruction Manual. The operation of this unit may occasionally be unacceptable due to the intention of the disc contents creator and/or structural restrictions. Can I record DVD VIDEO data on a video tape? Most of all DVD VIDEO discs are copy-protected so that you cannot record DVD VIDEO data onto any video tape. 3 Can this unit record data? No, you cannot.

Extension Several letters at the end of a filename. Filename extensions usually follow a period and indicate the type of information stored in the file. Finalize When conducting multisession recording, this means the closing of a session (fixing) by indicating the halting of writing so as to prevent the addition of any more sessions. Fs See Sampling frequency. ID3 tag The tag embedded in an MP3 file indicating what song, artists, and album it comes from. You can edit these tags.
