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 DVD player 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 DVD player.
Set the sound to Stereo using the AUDIO button when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD
(page 78).
Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the DVD player to an audio component having a built-in DTS decoder. The DVD player outputs the DTS signal via the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) jack even if DTS is set to Off in AUDIO SETUP menu (page 54), 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 AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL) jack.
When you play a DVD with DTS sound tracks, set DTS to On in AUDIO SETUP
menu (page 54). If you connect the player to audio equipment without a DTS decoder, do not set DTS to On in AUDIO SETUP menu (page 54). A loud noise may come out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.

(DVD-ROMs/DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer III) format. However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet format and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk Format (UDF) for the player to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play DATA CDs or DATA DVDs recorded in Multi Session or Multi Border (see Note on Multi Session/Border discs on page 84). Refer to the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format. Note on Multi Session/Border discs If MP3 audio tracks are recorded in the first session/border, the player will also play MP3 audio tracks in other session/border. If audio tracks and images in Music CD format or Video CD format are recorded in the first session/border, only the first session/border will be played back. Notes
If you put the extension .MP3 to data not in MP3 format, the player cannot recognize the data properly and will generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.
The player cannot play audio tracks in MP3PRO format.
The player may not be able to play some DATA CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet
Write format. If both video data and MP3 audio tracks exist on a DATA DVD, the player recognizes only the video data.
This player supports MP3 audio tracks recorded with a bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. Attempting to play MP3 audio tracks recorded with different specifications may result in loud noise, sound skipping or speaker damage.
Depending on the disc contents, playback may take some time to start.
You cannot repeat play while in program play or shuffle play. 84 Playing an MP3 audio track The Playback order of MP3 audio tracks The playback order of albums and tracks recorded on a DATA CD or DATA DVD is as follows.

Any sub-albums/tracks contained within a currently selected album does not take priority over the next album in the same tree. (Example: E contains G but 6 is played before 7.) When you press O RETURN and the list of MP3 albums appears (page 82), the albums are arranged in the following order: A t B t D t E t F t G. Albums that do not contain tracks (such as album C) do not appear in the list. Tips
If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track file names, the tracks will be played in that order.
A disc with many trees takes longer to start playback. Some discs with many trees cannot be played back. Notes
Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD or DATA DVD, the playback order may differ from the illustration above.
The playback order above may not be applicable if there are more than a total of 1000 albums and tracks in the DATA CD or DATA DVD.
A total of up to 999 files can be recognized for discs that contain both MP3 and JPEG files. Files are recognized in the order that they were recorded. For example, if 990 JPEG files are recorded then 100 MP3 files are recorded, the 990 JPEG files recorded first and only the first 9 MP3 files can be recognized.

DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs) recorded in JPEG format. However, the discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet format and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk Format (UDF) for the player to recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play DATA CDs or DATA DVDs recorded in Multi Session or Multi Border (see Note on Multi Session/Border discs on page 89). Refer to the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW drives and the recording software (not supplied) for details on the recording format. Notes
If both video data and JPEG image files exist on a DATA DVD, the player recognizes only the video data.
A total of up to 999 files can be recognized for discs that contain both MP3 and JPEG files. Files are recognized in the order that they were recorded. For example, if 990 JPEG files are recorded then 100 MP3 files are recorded, the 990 JPEG files recorded first and only the first 9 MP3 files can be recognized. Note on Multi Session/Border discs If JPEG image files are recorded in the first session/border, the player will also play JPEG image files in other session/border. If audio tracks and images in Music CD format or Video CD format are recorded in the first session/border, only the first session/border will be played back. Tip
If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the file names, the files will be played in that order. Notes

DVD (page 7) A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a CD. The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7 times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-

The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its original size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the picture. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence. Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided with the DVD.

The even number field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image. Progressive format (pages 31 and 59) Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 30 frames/60 fields in one second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper. This player is compatible with the 480 progressive format.
