Daily Operations—Playback
(see pages 10 to 13)
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 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.
• 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 DVD OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT terminal.
• 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.
• For MP3/WMA playback...
– This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
– MP3/WMA 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 result 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 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.
– 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.
– Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different from
the one you have intended while recording (see page 40). If
a folder does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are
ignored.
Daily Operations—Sound & Other Adjustments
(see pages 14 to 16)
Adjusting the Volume:
• Be sure to turn down the volume before connecting or putting
the headphones.
Adjusting the Sound:
• This function also affects the sound through the headphones.
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.
Advanced Radio Operations
(see pages 17 to 19)
• If the System takes time to show the RDS information—PS,
PTY, RT signals, “WAIT PS,” “WAIT PTY,” or “WAIT RT”
will appear while searching.
Unique DVD/VCD Operations
(see pages 20 to 22)
• During slow-motion playback, no sound will be reproduced.
• While zoomed in, the picture may look coarse.
Advanced Disc Operations
(see pages 23 to 25)
Programming the Playing Order—Program Play:
• If you try to program a 100th track, “MEM FULL” appears on
the display.
• 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).
Playing at Random—Random Play:
• The 4
button does not work for skipping chapters or tracks,
but only work for going back to the beginning of the current
chapter or track.
On-Screen Disc Operations
(see pages 26 to 30)
• For JPEG files playback...
– It is recommended that you record a file at 640 x 480
resolution. (If a file has been recorded at a resolution of
more than 640 x 480, it will take a long time to be shown.)
– This System can play only baseline JPEG files. Progressive
JPEG files or lossless JPEG files cannot be played.
Baseline JPEG format: Used for digital cameras, web,
etc.
Progressive JPEG format: Used for web.
Lossless JPEG format: An old type and rarely used
now.
– This System may not play back JPEG files properly which
are recorded by the devices other than digital still camera.
– If progressive or lossless JPEG files are played back, a black
screen appears. In this case, stop playback and select a
baseline JPEG file. Note that it may take a long time to
select another file.
