Notes on DVDs and Video CDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and Video CDs
may be intentionally fixed by software manufacturers.
As this unit plays DVDs and Video CDs according to
disc content designed by the software manufacturer,
some playback features of the unit may not be avail-
able, or other functions may be added.
Refer also to the instructions supplied with the DVDs
and Video CDs. Some DVDs made for business pur-
poses may not be playable on this unit.
Types of video CDs
There are two types of video CDs:
Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)
PBC (Playback control) functions allow you to interact
with the system via menus, search functions, or other
typical computer-like operations. Moreover, still pictures
of high resolution can be played if they are included in
the disc.
Regional code of the DVD player and DVDs
This DVD player is designed and manufactured
for playback of region “1” encoded DVD soft-
ware. The region code on the labels of some DVD discs
indicates which type of player can play those discs. This
unit can play only DVD discs labeled “1” or “ALL”. If you
try to play any other discs, the message “Check Regional
Code” will appear on the TV screen. Some DVD discs
may not have a region code label even though their
playback is prohibited by area limits.
Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)
Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs
allow playback of video pictures as well as sound, but
they are not equipped with PBC.
1
Note on DTS-encoded CDs
To avoid possible damage to the audio system, turn
down the volume before playing back such discs. Adjust
the volume gradually to personal preference. To enjoy
DTS Digital SurroundTM playback, an external 5.1 chan-
nel DTS Digital SurroundTM decoder system must be
connected to the digital output of the player.

Before Use (Cont’d)
Precautions
Storing discs
After playing, store the disc in its case.
Handling the unit
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of
heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sun-
light, as there may be a considerable temperature build-
up inside the car.
When shipping the unit
The original shipping carton and packing materials
come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the
unit as it was originally packed at the factory.
Cleaning discs
When setting up the unit
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-
ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean
the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen-
ter out.
The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio
may be distorted during playback. In this case, position
the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, and turn off
the unit after removing the disc.
To keep the exterior surfaces clean
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray,
near the unit. Do not allow rubber or plastic products to
contact the unit for a long period of time. They will leave
marks on the surface.
To move the unit
When you move the player, take out any discs. If you
don’t, the discs may be damaged or drop into the inter-
nal workings of the DVD player.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray intended for older vinyl records.

Digital Multi-channel sound
A digital multi-channel connection provides the best
sound quality. For this you need a multi-channel
Audio/Video receiver that supports one or more of the
audio formats supported by your DVD Player (MPEG 2,
Dolby Digital and DTS). Check the receiver manual and
the logos on the front of the receiver.
Note
This player does not perform internal (2 channel)
decoding of a DTS sound track. To enjoy DTS
multi channel surround, you must connect this player to
a DTS compatible receiver via one of this player’s
digital audio outputs.
Notes
–
If the audio format of the digital output does not match
the capabilities of your receiver, the receiver will
produce a strong, distorted sound or no sound at all.
– Six Channel Digital Surround Sound can only be
obtained if your receiver is equipped with a Digital
Multi-channel surround sound decoder.
– To confirm the audio format of the current DVD
selection display, press AUDIO.
– Repeated pressing of the AUDIO button may allow
you to select between various audio formats available
on the disc.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)
Sound
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s sound-
track in the most accurate and realistic presentation
possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However,
you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the
audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds
and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie
at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set
DRC to On for this effect.
Digital Audio Output
Each DVD disc may have a variety of audio output
options. Set the player’s Digital Audio Output according
to the type of audio system you use.
DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM: Select “DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM”
if you connect the DVD Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to a
Dolby Digital decoder (or an amplifier or other equip-
ment with a Dolby Digital decoder).
Stream/PCM: Select “Stream/PCM” if you connect the
DVD Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to an amplifier or other
equipment with a DTS decoder, Dolby Digital decoder
or MPEG decoder.
PCM: Select when connected to a 2 channel digital
stereo amplifier. The DVD player outputs sounds in the
PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc
recorded on the Dolby Digital, MPEG1 or MPEG2
recording system.
Vocal
Set Vocal to On only when a multi-channel karaoke
DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will
mix into normal stereo sound.
PBC
Set Playback Control (PBC) to On or Off.

Notes
– Actual picture enhancement may vary depending on the

– While the DNR2 (expanded level) can provide additional
improvement in the reduction of noise in the video signal, it
may produce undesirable picture artifacts on some discs.
Should this occur, select a more appropriate DNR level (nor-
mal or off).
– Depending on the disc, some picture detail may be lost by
the picture enhancement.

which may be modified by the above processes.

Playing an MP3 disc
Notes on MP3 Discs
About MP3
The DVD Player can play MP3 formatted recordings on
CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs.
ꢀ An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the
MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call
files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.
ꢀ The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file
extension other than “.mp3”.
Before playing MP3 recordings, read the notes on MP3
Recordings on right.
Insert a disc and close the tray.
1
The menu appears on the TV screen.
ꢀ The player can not read a non MP3 encoded file that
has a file extension “.mp3”.

3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”
4. If you record MP3 files using the software which
cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-
CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We
recommend that you use “Easy-CD Creator”, which
creates an ISO9660 file system.
5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first
track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it can-
not playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3
files, format all the data in the disc or use a new
one.
6. We do not recommend using CD-RW discs. Please
use finished CD-R discs only.
7. File names should be named using 8 letters or less
and must incorporate “.mp3” extension
e.g. “********.MP3”.

This DVD player requires discs/recordings to meet
certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically
set to these standards. There are many different types

(see above) to insure compatible playback.

expressly limited to the duration of the limited warranties set forth above. With the exception of any warranties implied by state law
as hereby limited, the foregoing warranty is exclusive and in lieu of all other warranties, guarantees, agreements and similar obli-

No person, agent, distributor, dealer or company is authorized to change, modify or extend the terms of these warranties in any

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which may vary from state to state. Some states
