Playable Disc Types
This unit has been designed to play back the following discs:
In addition to the above discs, this system can play back audio
data recorded on CD Text, CD-G (CD Graphics), and CD-Extra.
• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-I (CD-I
Ready), CD-ROM, Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
• In this manual, “file” and “track” are interchangeably used
for MP3/WMA/JPEG operations.

Note on Region Code
DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers.
This System can play back only DVDs recorded with the NTSC
color system whose Region Code numbers including “1.”
EX.:
If a DVD with the improper Region Code numbers is loaded,
“RGN ERR (REGION CODE ERROR)” appears on the display
and playback will not start.
DVD Video—digital audio formats
The System can play back the following digital audio
formats.
•
Linear PCM:
Uncompressed digital audio, the same
format used for CDs and most studio masters.
•
Dolby Digital:
Compressed digital audio, developed by
Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode
to create the realistic surround sound.
•
DTS (Digital Theater Systems):
Compressed digital
audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which
enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the
compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.
When playing a multi-channel encoded DVD, the System
properly converts these multi-channel signals into 2
channels, and emits the downmixed sound from the
speakers.
•
To enjoy the powerful sound of these multi-channel
encoded DVDs,
connect a proper decoder or an amplifier
with a proper built-in decoder to the digital output terminal
on the rear.
