The TV picture display and disc signal systems can be divided roughly into two TV formats (NTSC and PAL). They are variable depending on countries and areas.

This unit has a function for output of disc video in NTSC format after conversion to PAL format. For details, refer to "NTSC PAL" in "VISUAL" setting on page 78.

TV formats in major countries :

TV Format	Major Countries & Areas
NTSC	Japan, Taiwan, Korea, USA, Canada, Mexico, Philippines, Chile, etc.
PAL	China, U.K., Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Kuwait, Singapore, etc.

Checking the Video Format

Check the video format of the VCD and DVD discs to be played on the player as described below.

Check if the video formats of the TV to be used and disc to be played match each other.

• For details, refer to the instructions provided with the TV and disc.

When the TV is switchable between NTSC and PAL, set the TV format according to the disc format.

TV Format	Playable Disc Format
NTSC only	NTSC
PAL only	PAL
NTSC/PAL switchable	NTSC/PAL

• Correct video cannot be reproduced if the video formats of the TV and disc do not match.

When the video formats are different :

Try playing the disc. If the video formats of the disc and TV do not match, the played video may be black and white or become as shown below.

Discs with MP3/WMA or JPEG files which can be played back on this unit

Playback of compressed files in the formats MP3, WMA, and JPEG is possible. Depending on the disc properties, the recording status, etc., playback may not be possible on this unit.

• The following file types can be played back on this unit.

MP3 : Bit Rate, 32 kbps to 320 kbps Sampling frequency: 32/44.1/48 kHz (128 kbps/44.1 kHz recommended)

WMA : Bit Rate, 48 kbps to 192 kbps Sampling frequency: 32/44.1/48 kHz (64 kbps/44.1 kHz recommended)

JPEG : Conforming to the Exif Ver. 2.1 JPEG baseline method Image resolution ; Within 7680 × 7680 (subsampling; 4:2:2, 4:2:0) * Not compatible with progressive JPEG, JPEG2000.

This unit is compatible with discs written with ISO9660, level 1 or level 2 (expanded format excepted). (Not compatible with discs written with packet writing.)
This unit is compatible with closed multi-session discs.
- The maximum number of folders which can be played back with this unit is 255, and the maximum number of files is limited to 1743.
The file names always must have the extension ".MP3" (MP3 files), ".WMA" (WMA files), or ".JPG" (JPEG files).
Depending on the properties of the JPEG file and the recording status, the image may not be displayed correctly.
- Never add the wrong extension log to any files, the equipment will assume that they can be played back, and this will produce loud noises in the speakers, resulting in damage of adverse effects.

Confirming media and files

Check to ascertain that MP3/WMA files can be played back correctly on the personal computer in use prior to saving them onto the media. Check to ensure that the saved file can be played back normally.

When saving files onto media

Ensure that the session is closed or finalized when data has been written on media. There are cases where media on which the session has not be closed or finalized will not be played back correctly with this equipment.

There are cases where the folder names and file names will not be displayed correctly depending on the software used to save them.
- Do not store files or folders other than playable files on media to be played back with this equipment.
It is recommended that ten or less sessions are stored when recording MP3/WMA/JPEG files onto a media.
- In case of a multisession disc, some time may be required until playback begins.
- There are cases where playback is not possible when MP3/WMA/JPEG files (CD-ROM) and music CD information (CD-DA) are saved on the same media.

Playback order for MP3/WMA audio and JPEG images

A disc with MP3/WMA and JPEG files recorded on it is played back in the order of ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ ⑥ ⑦

Hints for disc creation>
When setting of the playback order is desired, insert successive numbers like "01" to "99" in front of the folder and file names. However, depending on the writing software, writing may not be done in the intended order.
- As folder 3 is included in folder 2, ④ has priority over ⑥
- When playback shifts from JPEG images to MP3/WMA audio (example: from ④ to ⑤), the audio is played back with displayed image.
- With skipping from MP3/WMA audio to JPEG images (example: from ③ to ④), the audio stops and the image is displayed.
- With a hierarchy exceeding 8 levels, the folders in the eighth level are displayed along with the last folder of the playback order.

Sound equalization

Super bass range (band 1: 63Hz)

When this control is moved up, the sound from bass instruments such as a bass guitar becomes deep and stable. When the super bass sound is boomy, move this control down.

Bass range (band 2: 160Hz)

Usually, the listening room resonance frequency is in this range. To eliminate bass resonance, move this control down.

Mid bass range (band 3: 400Hz)

This range is the basis of music, whether the sound is rich or not, depends on this range. When the playback sound is not so good, moving this control up slightly makes the sound sonorous.

Mid range (band 4: 1kHz)

When this control is moved up or down, the baritone or soprano voice is emphasized/de-emphasized. This range is related to the "presence" of music.

Mid-high range (band 5:2.5kHz)

This range is related to stimulus and metallic sound. When this range is well compensated, vivid sound can be obtained.

High range (band 6: 6.3kHz)

This frequency range is related to hardness of the sound. When this control is moved up, strings or brass instruments, such as flutes or piccolos, are emphasized. When the control is moved down, the sound will be more soothing.

Super high range (band 7:16kHz)

This frequency range is related to the width and details of the music. When this control is moved up, super high frequency instruments, such as triangles or cymbals, are emphasized, resulting in wide sound and echoes.
