Disc Information
Playable disc types
This unit has been designed to play back the following discs: DVD
VIDEO*, DVD AUDIO*, Video CD (VCD)*, Super Video CD
(SVCD)*, Audio CD*, CD-R, and CD-RW.
* This instruction refers to the following: DVD VIDEO and DVD
AUDIO as “DVD,” Video CD as “VCD,” Super Video CD as
“SVCD,” and audio CD as “CD.”
In addition to the above discs, this unit can play back audio data
recorded on CD Text, CD-G (CD Graphic), CD Extra and Mix-
Mode CD.
• The following discs cannot be played back:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo
CD, SACD, VR format DVD-RW, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
• This unit can also play back MP3 and JPEG (still picture) files
recorded on CD-R and CD-RW. For details about MP3 and JPEG
disc operations, see “MP3/JPEG Disc Playback” on pages 35 and
36.
• On some DVD VIDEO, DVD AUDIO, SVCD or VCD, their
actual operations may be different from what is explained in this
manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure,
but not a malfunction of this unit.
• You can play back DVD-R or DVD-RW recorded with the DVD
VIDEO format, but some may not be played back because of the
disc characteristics or recording conditions.
About Region Code
DVD players and DVD VIDEO have their own Region Code numbers. This
unit can play back only DVD VIDEO recorded with the color system of
NTSC/PAL whose Region Code is “3.”
Region 3
If a DVD VIDEO with the wrong Region Code number is loaded, “REGION
CODE ERROR” appears on the display and playback cannot start.
On CD-R and CD-RW
• User-edited CD-R (Recordable) and CD-RW (ReWritable) can be played
back only if they are already “finalized.”
• The unit can play back CD-R or CD-RW recorded on a personal computer
if they have been recorded in the CD format or in ISO 9660 format.
• Before playing back CD-R or CD-RW, read their instructions or cautions
carefully.
• CD-RW may require a longer readout time. It is caused by the fact that the
reflectance of CD-RW is lower than for regular CD.
• The unit can also play back CD-R or CD-RW if MP3 files or JPEG files
are recorded on them. However, they may not be played back because of
their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on
them. Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3 disc or a
JPEG disc is determined by the writing (encoding) software and hardware
used for recording. Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the
following symptoms may occur:
– Some discs may not be played back.
– Some tracks on an MP3 or JPEG disc are skipped and may not be
played back normally.
– Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.
