Additional Information
Learning More about This System
Introduction
(see pages 1 and 2)
Playable Disc Types:
• If you play back an NTSC disc with the video output
selector set to “PAL,” you can watch the playback pictures
(the disc will be reproduced using “PAL 60” format), but
the TV screen may roll over upward and downward
rapidly.
• If you play back a PAL disc with the video output selector
set to “NTSC,” you can watch the playback pictures, but
the following symptoms may occur:
– The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and be shown
slightly shifted when highlighted.
– The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the
original aspect ratio.
– The picture movement is not smooth.
• About audio format
–
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.
Daily Operations—Playback
(see pages 7 to 11)
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:
• 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.
• For MP3/WMA playback...
– MP3 discs are required a longer readout time than regular
CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/file
configuration.)
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will
be skipped. This results from their recording processes
and conditions.
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1
or Level 2 for the disc format.
– This system can play back MP3/WMA files with the
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the
letter case—upper/lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file
at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps.
This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of
less than 64 kbps.
Playing Back a Tape:
• In Relay Play, if the playing time of the tape in deck A is
less than 12 seconds, the System rewinds the tape and plays
back again.
Daily Operations—Sound&Other Adjustments
(see pages 12 to 15)
Creating Your Own Sound Modes—User Mode:
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure
occurs, the User Mode settings will be erased in a few days.
If this happens, set the User Mode again.
Creating 3-dimensional Sound Field—3D Phonic:
• While you use the headphones, 3D Phonic mode is
canceled temporary.
• When you activate the mic mixing, 3D Phonic mode is
canceled temporary.
• 3D Phonic setting is also applied to the optical digital
output signals through the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT
terminal.
Setting the Clock:
• “0:00” will flash on the display until you set the clock.
• The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this
happens, reset the clock.
Unique DVD/VCD Operations
(see pages 16 to 17)
Selecting the Sound Track:
• On some DVD Videos, you cannot change audio languages
while playing back.
Special Picture Playback:
• During slow-motion playback, no sound will be
reproduced.
• While zoomed in, the picture may look coarse.
Advanced Disc Operations
(see pages 19 to 21)
Programming
the Playing
Order—Program Play:
• While programming steps...
Your entry will be ignored if you have tried to program an
item number that does not exist on the disc (for example,
selecting track 14 on a disc that only has 12 tracks).
• You cannot use Program Play and Random Play for JPEG
discs.
On-Screen Disc Operations
(see pages 22 to 26)
Operations Using the On-screen Bar:
• A-B Repeat:
– A-B Repeat cannot be used on some DVDs.
– A-B Repeat is possible only within the same title or
within the same track.
