The recorder cannot play the following discs:
• All CD-ROMs (including PHOTO CDs)
• CD-Rs/CD-RWs, other than those recorded in the music CD
format
• Data part of CD-Extras
• VIDEO CDs
• Super VCDs
• DVD-ROMs

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD
• When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be
heard from the analog stereo jacks. To avoid possible damage
to the audio system, the consumer should take proper
precautions when the analog stereo jacks of the recorder are
connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital
Surround™ playback, an external 5.1-channel decoder system
must be connected to the digital jack of the recorder.
• Set the sound to “Stereo” using the AUDIO button when you
play DTS sound tracks on a CD (page 57).
• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the
recorder to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder.
The recorder outputs the DTS signal via the DIGITAL OUT
(COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack even if “DTS” is set to “Off”
in the Audio Setup (page 96), and may affect your ears or cause
your speakers to be damaged.
Notes on playing DVDs with a DTS sound track
• DTS audio signals are output only through the DIGITAL OUT
(COAXIAL or OPTICAL) jack.
• When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set “DTS” to
“On” in the Audio Setup (page 96).
• If you connect the recorder to audio equipment without a built-
in DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” to “On” in the Audio Setup
(page 96). A loud noise may come out from the speakers,
affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
Notes
• The following type of high-speed discs can be played back on this
recorder: up to 2u-speed DVD-RWs (Revision 1.0), up to 4u-speed
DVD-Rs (Revision 1.0), or up to 4u-speed DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs.
• DVD-RW/-Rs, DVD+RWs/+Rs, or CD-RW/-Rs recorded on another
recording device cannot be played on this recorder if they have not
been correctly finalized. Some discs cannot be played due to the
recording quality or physical condition of the disc, or the
characteristics of the recording device and authoring software.

Using the PROGRESSIVE button
You can fine-tune the Progressive 480p video signal output
when you press PROGRESSIVE on the front panel (the
PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up) and connect the recorder
using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a TV that is able
to accept the video signal in progressive format.
Press PROGRESSIVE repeatedly to toggle the displays as
follows:
• INTERLACE
Select this when you are connected to a standard (Interlace
format) TV.
• PROGRESSIVE
Select this when you are connected to a TV compatible with
progressive signals. The recorder outputs video signals in
progressive format.
◆ Conversion modes
DVD software can be divided into two types: film based
software and video based software. Video based software is
derived from the TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays
images at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Film based software is
derived from film and displays images at 24 frames per second.
Some DVD software contains both Video and Film.
In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when
output in PROGRESSIVE mode (60 frames per second), the
progressive video signal needs to be converted to match the type
of DVD software that you are watching. The title recorded on
this recorder is Video based software. If you want to set the
conversion mode for Video based software regardless of the
software type, set “Progressive Mode” in Video Setup to
“Video” (page 95).
Notes
• When you play video based software with progressive signals, sections
of some types of images may appear unnatural due to the conversion
process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.
Images from the LINE OUT (S VIDEO) 1/2 and LINE OUT (VIDEO)
1/2 jacks are unaffected as they are output in the normal (interlace)
format.
• If you have set the recorder to progressive format even though your TV
is not compatible with progressive format (480p) signals, you cannot
view pictures. Some video signals recorded on the disc may not be
converted in progressive format. In either of these cases, set the
recorder to interlace format.
