Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program's soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.

Vocal

Set Vocal to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will mix into a normal stereo sound.

Notes on MP3 Discs

About MP3

  • An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using MPEG1, the audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the ".mp3" file extension "MP3 files".
  • The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than ".mp3".
  • The player can not read a fake MP3 file that has a file extension ".mp3".

MP3 Disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows:

  1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz
  2. Bit rate/ within 32 - 320kbps
  3. CD-R physical format should be "ISO 9660"
  4. If you record MP3 files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example "Direct-CD" etc., it is impossible to playback MP3 files. We therefore recommend that you use "Easy-CD Creator", which creates an ISO9660 file system.
  5. A single session disc requires MP3 files in the first track. If there is no MP3 file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3 files. If you wish to playback MP3 files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.
  6. We do not recommend using CD-RW discs. Please use finished CD-R discs only.
  7. File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate the ".mp3" extension e.g. "******* .MP3".
  8. Do not use special characters such as “_?!><+*}{[@];;V.,” etc.
  9. Total number of files on the disc should be less than 200.
  10. Use 74 minute CD-R discs (650M), do not use 80 minute CD-R (700M) software.

This DVD player requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 files).

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3 files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.
