signal on a disc is converted to the PAL60 signal and output.

DVD VIDEO format. However, some discs may not be played
because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.

• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready),
Photo CD, SACD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the

explained in this manual. This is due to the disc
programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of this

Region code of DVD VIDEO
DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own
Region Code numbers. This system can play back DVD VIDEO
discs whose Region Code numbers include the system’s Region
Code, which is indicated on the rear panel.
If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,
“REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and
playback cannot start.
About files (tracks) and folders (groups) on the disc
This system can also play MP3, WMA, JPEG and MPEG4 files
recorded on CD-Rs and CD-RWs.
Files are sometimes grouped into folders on CD-Rs or CD-RWs by
genre, album, etc.
In this manual, “group” is also referred to as “folder”, and “track”
as “file”.
• This system recognizes up to 150 files per group, and 99 groups
per disc.
The total number of files this system can detect on a disc is up to
1000.
