Learning More about This System
Getting Started
(see pages 3 to 6)
Changing the Scanning Mode
• To enjoy the progressive video picture, connect a TV with
the progressive video input using component video cord.
Daily Operations—Playback
(see pages 10 to 14)
Listening to the Radio:
• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number,
the previously stored station in that number will be erased.
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure
occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If
this happens, preset the stations again.
Playing Back a Disc:
• When using an 8 cm (3-3/16 inch) disc, place it on the inner
circle of the disc tray.
• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual operations
may be different from what is explained in this manual, due
to the programming and disc structure; such differences are
not a malfunction of this System.
• When discs* in more than one tray are loaded on the disc
trays, they are played in sequence as follows:
Ex.: When DISC 2 is selected:
DISC 2]
DISC 3]
DISC 4]
DISC 5]
DISC 1]
(then stops)
* When no disc is loaded on the disc tray, that disc number
is skipped.
• You can exchange discs while playing or selecting another
disc.
• Some DVD Audio discs prohibit downmixed output. When
you play back such a disc, “LR ONLY” appears on the
display and the System plays back the left front and right
front signals.
• 3D Phonic setting is also applied to the optical digital
output signals through the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT
terminal.
• For MP3/JPEG playback...
– This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
– MP3/JPEG discs are required a longer readout time than
regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/
file configuration.)
– Some MP3/JPEG files cannot be played back and will be
skipped. This result from their recording processes and
conditions.
– When making MP3 discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level
2 for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3/JPEG files with the
extension code <.mp3> or <.jpg> (regardless of the letter
case—upper/lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a
sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.
– This System can recognize the total of 1000 tracks and of
99 groups (each group can contain up to 150 tracks).
Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be
recognized.
– This System can show up to 23 characters of the file
(track) names (except for extention) and 30 characters of
the ID3 tags on the display and the TV screen.
– Some characters or symbols will not be shown (and will
be blanked) on the display.
• When using Resume on SVCD or VCD with PBC, the
playback might start on a position slightly different from
where you have stopped.
• You can use Resume only for the DVD/SVCD/VCD
except for some discs—depending how the disc is
programmed.
Playing Back from the PC:
• Check if your PC equipped with the CD-ROM drive is
running on Windows
R
98*, Windows
R
98SE*, Windows
R
Me*, Windows
R
2000*, or Windows
R
XP* and prepare its
CD-ROM.
• DO NOT turn off the System or disconnect the USB cable
while installing the drivers and for a several seconds each
time your PC is recognizing the System.
• Use a full speed USB cable (version 1.1).
• If your PC does not recognize the receiver, disconnect the
USB cable and connect it again. If this does not work,
restart Windows.
• The drivers installed can be recognized only when the USB
cable is connected between the System and your PC.
• The sound may not be played back correctly—interrupted
or degraded—due to your PC settings or PC specifications.
