Note on Region Code
 
DVD players and DVDs have their own Region Code numbers. 
This System can play back only DVDs recorded with the NTSC 
or PAL color system whose Region Code numbers including 
“4.”
EX.:
If a DVD with the improper Region Code numbers is loaded, 
“RGN ERR (Region Code Error)” appears on the display and 
playback will not start.
 
DVD Video—digital audio formats
 
The System can play back the following digital audio 
formats.
•
 
Linear PCM:
 
 Uncompressed digital audio, the same 
format used for CDs and 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 a multi-channel encoded DVD, the System 
properly converts these multi-channel signals into 2 
channels, and emits the downmixed sound from the 
speakers.
•
 
To enjoy the powerful sound of these multi-channel 
encoded DVDs,
 
 connect a proper decoder or an amplifier 
with a proper built-in decoder to the digital output terminal 
on the rear.
