(When letters/numbers appear in the
display)
When the self-diagnosis function is activated
to prevent the player from malfunctioning, a
five-character service number (e.g., C 13 50)
with a combination of a letter and four digits
appears on the screen and the front panel
display. In this case, check the following
table.

DivX
®
Digital video technology created by DivX,
Inc. Videos encoded with DivX technology

Dolby Digital (page 19, 64)
Digital audio compression technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This
technology conforms to multi-channel
surround sound. The rear channel is stereo
and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in
this format. Dolby Digital provides the same
discrete channels of high quality digital audio
found in “Dolby Digital” theater surround
sound systems. Good channel separation is
realized because all of the channel data is
recorded discretely and little deterioration is
realized because all channel data processing
is digital.
