Additional Information
Learning More about This System
Getting Started
(see pages 3 to 6)
Changing the Scanning Mode
• To enjoy the progressive video picture, connect a TV with the
progressive video input using component video cord.
Before Operating the System
(see pages 7 to 9)
Playable Disc Types:
• If you play back an NTSC disc with this setting 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 this setting 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.
Daily Operations—Playback
(see pages 10 to 14)
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 Tape:
• It is not recommended to use the C-120 or longer tapes. These
tapes easily jams in the pinch rollers and the capstans, and may
cause characteristic deterioration.
Playing Back a Disc:
• 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.
• 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.
Daily Operations—Sound & Other Adjustments
(see pages 15 to 17)
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.
Unique DVD/VCD Operations
(see pages 18 to 20)
• During slow-motion playback, no sound will be reproduced.
• While zoomed in, the picture may look coarse.
Advanced Disc Operations
(see pages 21 to 23)
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.
