Audio CDs

Audio CDs (12 cm).

CD-R, CD-RW

Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW discs

(rewritable).

CD-Rs written during a multisession recording can

be played, provided that the session has ended

before the disc is played (depending on the write

software).

However, depending on the condition of the

CD-writer, computer and the disc used, you may

find that not all discs will play. When playing a

CD-R disc, it is normal for the unit to take up to

60 seconds to recognize the disc before starting

to play.

If the disc is not recognized after a period of 120

seconds, remove the disc, and insert it again.

• Do not use its full capacity.

• CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of

CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases,

CD-RW playback may be faulty.

• Use reliable, good-quality CD write software.

• Close all other applications on the computer to

ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.

Jpeg Files
CD-R and CD-RW with jpeg files. Certain jpeg files,

including progressive jpeg files, cannot be read by

this unit.

The total number of files and folders on the disc

should be less than 650. Make sure that files have

the “.jpg” extension. Files without the “.jpg” exten-

sion will not be able to be read by the unit --- even

thought the files are shown as jpeg images on

your computer.

Dolby Digital

The Dolby Digital mode lets you enjoy full digital

surround from software processed in the Dolby

Digital format. Dolby Digital provides better

sound quality and a more powerful presence

than conventional Dolby Surround. This unit is

equipped with Dolby Digital 5.1 channel so that

you can enjoy enhanced full digital surround

sound. Different from Dolby ProLogic in that only

four channels (Front Left, Front Right, Center and

Rear) are used, the new system provides stereo

separation of the rear speakers (Rear-Right, Rear-

Left). Adding the subwoofer channel to the 5

channels for bass sounds (counted as 0.1 channel)

results in 5.1 channels (or 6 Channels) that bring

you the most sophisticated Dolby Digital sound

enjoyment.

efficiency. Adjust the antenna for

better reception and a more efficient

search.
