Before Operating the System (see pages 7 to 9)
Playable Disc Types:
• About audio format
Lineal" PCM: Uncompressed digital audio, the same
format used for CDs arrd most studio masters.
Dolby Digital: Compressed digital audio, developed by
Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel
encode to create the realistic surround sound.
- DTS (Digital Theater Systems): Compressed digital
audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc.,
which enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the
compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.
When playing back a DVD Audio disc recorded by MLP
(Meridian Lossless Packing; a lossless audio
compression system that can completely recreate the
PCM signal), the signals recognized as the linear PCM
signal, however, no irrdicator lights up in the display
window.
Daily OperationsiPlayback (see pages 10 to 14)
Listening to the Radio:
• If you store a new station irrto an occupied preset number,
tire previously stored station in that nmnber 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:
• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual
operations nmy be different from what is explained in this
manual, due m the programming and disc structure; such
differences are not a malfunction of this System.
• Some DVD Audios prohibit downmix. When you play
back such a disc, "LR ONLY" appears on the display arrd
the System plays back the left front arrd right front signals.
• For MP3_VMA/JPEG playback...
- MP3/WMA/JPEG discs are required a longer readout
time thau regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of
the group/file configuration.)
- Some MP3/WMA/JPEG files cannot be played back arrd
will be skipped. This results from their recording
processes arrd corrditions.
When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1
or Level 2 for the disc format.
This system can play back MP3_VMA/JPEG files with
the extension code <.rap3>, <.wma> or <.jpg>
(regardless of the letter case--upper/lower).
- It is recommended that you nmke each MP3/WMA file
at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz arrd at bit rate of 128 kbps.
This System cannot play back files made at bit rate of
less than 64 kbps.
• When discs* in more than one tray are loaded on tire disc
trays, they are played in sequence as follows:
Ex.:When DISC 2 is pressed:
DISC 2=;>DISC 3=>DISC 4=>DISC 5=;>DISC 1
(then stops)
": When no disc is loaded on the tray, that disc number is
skipped.
