Caution for DualDisc playback
The non-DVD side of a "DualDisc" does not comply with
the "Compact Disc Digital Audio" standard. Therefore,
the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product
may not be recommended.
Note on Region Code
DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their
own Region Code numbers. This system can play back
DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code numbers include
the system's Region Code, which is indicated on the rear
panel.
Examples:
If a DVD VIDEO with an improper Region Code number
is loaded, "REGION CODE ERROR!" appears on the TV
screen and playback cannot start.
• On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs,
their actual operation may be different from what is
explained in this manual. This is due to the disc
programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of
this system.
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
• This system supports "multi-session" discs (up to 20
sessions).
• This system cannot play "packet write" (UDF format)
discs. Some discs may not be played back because of
*1
their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or
damage or stain on them.
Discs that cannot be played back
• DVD-RAM, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD,
SACD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and
damage the speakers.
Damaged discs and discs in an extraordinary shape
(other than a disc of 12 cm or 8 cm in diameter) cannot
be played back.
Notes on all files
• The system can only recognize and play files with one
of the following extensions, which can be in any
combination of upper and lower case;
MP3: ".mp3"
•
WMA: ".wma"
•
JPEG: ".jpg", ".jpeg"
•
MPEG1/MPEG2: ".mpg", ".mpeg"
•
ASF: ".asf"
•
DivX: ".divx", ".div", ".avi"
•
• If a character other than single byte English characters
is used in the file name, the track/file name will not be
displayed correctly.
• The system recognizes up to 150 tracks (files) per
group, 99 groups per disc, and the total number of the
tracks (files) that the system can play is 4 000.
• Since the unit ignores the tracks/files whose numbers
are exceeding 150 and the groups whose numbers are
exceeding 99, they cannot be played back.
• Some files may not be played back normally because
of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.
