Audio CDs
Audio CDs (12 cm).
CD-R, CD-RW
Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW discs

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

sion will not be able to be read by the unit --- even
thought the files are shown as jpeg images on

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.
