• This manual mainly explains operations using the buttons on

the remote control.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet

hands.

You can use the buttons both on the remote control and on the

unit for the same operations if they have the same or similar

names (or marks), unless mentioned otherwise.

• Basic and common information that is the same for many

functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated for each

procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the information about

turning on/off the unit, setting the volume, changing the sound

effects, and others, which are explained in the section “Basic and

Common Operations” on pages 10 to 12.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the unit in the following

cases:

• After starting to heat the room.

• In a damp room.

• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.

Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, leave the

unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug

the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Playing Back Discs on the 5-DVD Changer

indicates types of disc available for the operation. (Unavailable disc types are shown in halftone color.)

• For MP3 and JPEG disc playback, see pages 35 and 36. (For how to make a program using MP3 discs is explained in this section.)

Disc Information

On CD-R and CD-RW

•

User-edited CD-R (Recordable) and CD-RW (ReWritable) can be played

back only if they are already “finalized.”

Playable disc types

This unit has been designed to play back the following discs: DVD

VIDEO*, DVD AUDIO*, Video CD (VCD)*, Super Video CD

(SVCD)*, Audio CD*, CD-R, and CD-RW.

* This instruction refers to the following: DVD VIDEO and DVD

AUDIO as “DVD,” Video CD as “VCD,” Super Video CD as

“SVCD,” and audio CD as “CD.”

The unit can play back CD-R or CD-RW recorded on a personal computer

if they have been recorded in the CD format or in ISO 9660 format.

Before playing back CD-R or CD-RW, read their instructions or cautions

carefully.

CD-RW may require a longer readout time. It is caused by the fact that the

reflectance of CD-RW is lower than for regular CD.

The unit can also play back CD-R or CD-RW if MP3 files or JPEG files

are recorded on them. However, they may not be played back because of

their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on

them. Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3 disc or a

JPEG disc is determined by the writing (encoding) software and hardware

used for recording. Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the

following symptoms may occur:

Color

System

Disc

Type

Mark

– Some discs may not be played back.

– Some tracks on an MP3 or JPEG disc are skipped and may not be

played back normally.

Super Video CD

About copy protection

COMPACT

Audio CD

(CD)

This product incorporates copyright protection technology that

is protected by method claims of certain U.S. patents and other

intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation

and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection

technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and

is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless

otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse

engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

DIGITAL AUDIO

CD-R

CD-RW

In addition to the above discs, this unit can play back audio data

recorded on CD Text, CD-G (CD Graphic), CD Extra and Mix-

Mode CD.

• The following discs cannot be played back:

DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, CD-ROM, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo

CD, SACD, VR format DVD-RW, etc.

• The Macrovision’s copy protection system is applied to this unit.

If you make a copy on your VCR from a disc that is recorded this

copy protection signal, the copy cannot be played back normally.

Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the

speakers.

• This unit can also play back MP3 and JPEG (still picture) files

recorded on CD-R and CD-RW. For details about MP3 and JPEG

disc operations, see “MP3/JPEG Disc Playback” on pages 35 and

36.

• On some DVD VIDEO, DVD AUDIO, SVCD or VCD, their

actual operations may be different from what is explained in this

manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure,

but not a malfunction of this unit.

• You can play back DVD-R or DVD-RW recorded with the DVD

VIDEO format, but some may not be played back because of the

disc characteristics or recording conditions.

IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc, make sure of the

following....

• Check the connection with the TV.

• Turn on the TV and select the correct input mode on the

TV to view the pictures or on-screen indications on the

TV screen.

• For disc playback, you can change the initial setting to

your preference. (See pages 76 to 81.)

If “ ” appears on the TV screen when you press a button,

the disc cannot accept the operation you have tried to do, or

data required for that operation is not recorded on the disc.

About Region Code

NOTICE: In some cases, without showing “ ,” operations will

not be accepted.

DVD players and DVD VIDEO have their own Region Code numbers. This

unit can play back only DVD VIDEO recorded with the color system of

NTSC/PAL whose Region Code is “3.”

To change the color system of this unit, see page 9.

Region 3

If a DVD VIDEO with the wrong Region Code number is loaded, “REGION

CODE ERROR” appears on the display and playback cannot start.

Disc structure

On a JPEG disc, each still picture is recorded as a file. Files are

usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other folders,

creating hierarchical folder layers.

This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and

manages folders by “groups.”

DVD VIDEO consists of “titles,” and each title may be divided into

some “chapters.”

For example, if a DVD VIDEO contains some movies, each

movie may have its own title number and it may be further divided

into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO Karaoke, each song may

have its own title number, but it may not be further divided into

chapters.

Group 2

Group 1

File 1 File 2

Group 3

Group 4

Group 5

Playback Control function (PBC)—SVCD and VCD only

DVD AUDIO consists of “groups,” and each group may be divided

into some “tracks.”

The Playback Control function enables menu-driven operation.

Some DVD AUDIOs also contain a “bonus group” that can be

played back by entering the “key number” (a kind of password).

Usually the contents of “bonus group” are not open to the public.

Note that most DVD AUDIOs include much information in addition

to audio, such as still pictures, movies, and text.

Menu-driven playback

A selection menu is displayed when you start playing a SVCD and

VCD with the Playback Control feature. The selection menu shows

a list of numbers for selection. Some discs may show moving

pictures or a divided screen. You can interact with the screen using a

menu display to select and play an entry.

See the example illustration below about basic feature of menu-

driven playback (for details about the operation through the disc

menu, see also page 20).

SVCD, VCD, and CD consist of “tracks.”

In general, each track has its own track number. (On some

discs, each track may also be divided by indexes. This unit is

not compatible with Index function.)

On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a file. Files are

usually grouped into a folder. Folders can also include other

folders, creating hierarchical folder layers.

This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and

manages files and folders by “tracks” and “groups.”

Some DVDs are recorded with their own menus which show their

contents. SVCDs or VCDs with the Playback Control (PBC)

function also have their own menus, such as lists of songs. You can

play back the discs by using these menus.

The Playback Control function (PBC) allows you to operate the

SVCD or VCD by using menus.

When a SVCD or VCD with the PBC is detected, “VCD - - PBC”

appears on the display.

When you start playback, a menu automatically appears on the TV

screen.

Recording on an MD

Before You Start Recording on an MD

• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

• When you record onto partially recorded MD, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The recording starts from the point following

the last recorded track of the MD.

If you want to record on such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see “Erasing All Tracks

—ALL ERASE” on page 67).

• When an MD is fully recorded, recording will stops automatically.

• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the volume level. Thus, during recording you can adjust the

sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

• While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the AHB PRO (Active Hyper Bass PRO) effect through the speakers or

headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 11 and 12).

• When selecting DISC or AUX-DIGITAL as the source, you can make a digital to digital recording.

When recording from a digital-copied CD-R/RW on an MD, see pages 47 and 88.

• You cannot record more than 254 tracks onto an MD, even if there is still enough recording time remaining on it.

About the track marks

To avoid erasing important recordings

When playing an MD, you can move among the tracks.

You can do this because there is a mark recorded at the beginning

of each track enabling you to locate the track. This mark is called

a “track mark” and the portion between two adjacent track marks

is called a “track.”

The recordable MD has an erasure prevention tab so that

important recordings are not accidentally erased. When you

finish recording or editing, slide to open the erasure prevention

tab on the cartridge side surface. New recording or editing is now

no longer possible. (If you try to do, “DISC PROTECTED”

appears on the display.)

• When using disc synchronized recording, a track mark is

recorded at the beginning of each track. You cannot put a track

mark manually.

To do re-recording or editing, return the tab to the closed

position.

• When recording from an analog source such as FM, AM,

TAPE, or AUX, you can select “MANUAL MARK,” “TIME

AUTO MARK,” and “AUTO TRK MARK” by pressing SET

(see page 49).

To add a track mark after recording is over, you can use the

DIVIDE function (see page 64).

Precautions for performing long-hour stereo recording

After having made long-hour stereo recordings on this unit, pay

attention to the following:

To set “LP:”-prefix addition mode

• Songs (tracks) recorded in 2 times or 4 times long-hour

recording mode can only be played back on the equipment

provided with MDLP, compatible with a long-hour stereo

recording function; otherwise, “LP:” is displayed before a title

and playback proceeds without sounds.

You can select whether or not to add “LP:” to the beginning of the

title for the tracks recorded using the stereo long-hour recording

mode (LP2 or LP4).

On the remote control ONLY:

• When editing songs (tracks) on an MD, you cannot join (JOIN)

songs (tracks) recorded in different recording length modes

(SP/LP2/LP4).

Press LP:.

• Each time you press these buttons, the “LP:”-prefix

addition mode alternates between on and off.

(LP:) ON

(LP:) OFF

More about MDLP

•

You cannot make a long-hour monaural recording using this unit.

Sound quality will decrease as the recording length mode changes to

LP2 (little) and LP4 (much). To obtain the best sound quality, it is

recommended to use the SP mode when recording.

(LP:) ON

Adds “LP:” to the beginning of the track title. The

total number of characters you can enter for an MD is

reduced (for details, see pages 68).

(LP:) OFF Does not add “LP:” to the beginning of the track title.

Recording on a Tape

Before You Start Recording on a Tape

• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the volume level. Thus, during recording you can adjust the

sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

• While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the AHB PRO (Active Hyper Bass PRO) effect through the speakers or

headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 11 and 12).

• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Place the unit away from the TV.

• You can use only type I tapes for recording.

To protect your recordings

To keep the best recording and playback sound quality

Cassettes have two small tabs on the back to protect unexpected

erasure or recording.

To protect your recording, remove these tabs.

To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with adhesive

tape.

You need to clean the heads.

• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use with

a wet-type head cleaning tape (available at electronic and audio

shops).

Adhesive tape

The use of the C-120 or longer tape is not recommended, since

characteristic deterioration may occur and this tape easily jams

in the pinch rollers and the capstans.

When the head becomes dirty, the following symptoms will

occur:

– Sound quality is reduced.

– Sound level decreases.

– Sound drops out.

• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.

• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any metallic or

magnetic tools.

To demagnetize the head

Turn off (on standby) the unit, and use a head demagnetizer

(available at electronics and audio shops).

At the start and end of cassette tapes

There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when

recording discs, MDs, or radio broadcasts, wind the leader tape first to

ensure that the recording will be made without any music part lost.

Editing an MD

Guidance—MD Group Functions

To add to the conventional MD Editing functions (called the track

editing functions in this manual), MD Group functions help you to

classify the tracks by making groups on your MD.

Using MD Groups as a separate item

You can enjoy playback, recording, and editing groups.

• Playback (see page 40):

Classifying the tracks on an MD

You can play back and repeat the desired group without making

a program: For example, you can play back repeatedly genre B

tracks by selecting Group 1 in the left figure—Group Play.

• Recording (see page 45):

MDLP enables you to record more tracks on a single MD than

usual. So, there are many tracks which have been recorded from

the various sources—discs, FM, and so on—on your MD.

You can form a group while tracks are being recorded.

• Editing:

You can edit the groups using the following functions:

– Forming a group (FORM GR)

In that case, if you can classify the tracks by source, by album, or

by artist, the playback of your favorite songs becomes much easier.

– Adding a track to a group (ENTRY GR)

– Dividing a group (DIVIDE GR)

Track number

– Joining two groups (JOIN GR)

– Moving a group (MOVE GR)

– Ungrouping tracks (UNGROUP)

– Dissolving all groups (UNGR ALL)

– Erasing tracks in a group (ERASE GR)

Track

How to make up Groups

You can make up groups using two methods: Forming a group

function and Group recording function.

• Forming a group function—FORM GR:

Select this when you want to make groups after recording (see

page 56).

Group 1

Group 2

Group 3

• Group recording function:

Press GROUP REC ON/OFF to record and group tracks at the

same time (for details, see page 46).

In the figure above, as an example, there are 5 different genres

(from A to E) of tracks on the MD. Using MD Group functions,

you can form a group by genre B tracks as Group 1, genre C tracks

as Group 2, etc.

By forming groups on the MD, you can classify the tracks by each

genre—the album title, the artist, etc. You can also assign a name

to each group (see pages 68 to 70).

prevention tab on the cartridge side surface. (See page 45 for

details.)

Press TITLE EDIT.

• During stop mode:

About the number of characters entered for an MD

The total number of characters that you can enter for an MD is 1792. The

maximum number that you can enter for a disc/track title is 61.

(However, the actual number you can enter may be slightly less than the

maximum numbers due to the MD limitations—see page 88.)

• A space can be counted as one character.

• When the stereo long-hour recording (LP2 or LP4, see page 46)

method is used for recording, the maximum number you can enter for a

track title is automatically reduced since “LP:” and a space are

automatically added to the beginning of the track title. Consequently

this reduces the total number of characters you can enter for an MD.

Ex.: You can enter up to 10 characters for each track if an MD is

composed of 120 tracks recorded using the stereo long-hour

recording method.

• During play mode:

Track title entry screen appears on the display.

For the group title:

Glossary

Aspect ratio

Multi-angle

The ratio of horizontal and vertical sizes of a displayed image. The

horizontal vs. vertical ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3 and that of

wide-screen TVs is 16:9.

By recording multiple scenes progressing at the same time in a

single title, the user can select view angles. This feature is called

the multi-angle function.

Component video signal

Multi-channel

A video signal system where elements necessary for reproducing

image signal comprised of the three primary colors of light are

transmitted via separate signal lines. Types of signal, such as R/G/

B, Y/P^B/P^R, etc., are available.

DVD VIDEO has been designed to have each soundtrack

constitute one sound field. Multi-channel refers to a structure of

sound tracks having three or more channels.

Multi-language

Composite video signal

When a title is created to cope with multiple languages, it is

generally called a multilanguage title.

A video signal comprised of three kinds of signals combined: an

image signal made up of luminance and chrominance signals

using the frequency multiplication technique, burst signal

providing the basis for color reproduction, and synchronization

signal.

Playback control (PBC)

Refers to the signal recorded on SVCD/VCD for controlling

reproduction. By using menu screens recorded on SVCD/VCD

that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive-type software as well

as software having a search function.

Dolby Digital

This is a digital audio compression technology that was developed

by Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Digital encoding method (so-called

discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format) records and compresses

the left front channel, right front channel, center channel, left rear

channel, right rear channel, and LFE channel (total 6 channels, but

LFE channel is counted as 0.1 channel, therefore called 5.1

channels) signals digitally. Each channel is completely

independent from other channel signals to avoid interference,

therefore, you can obtain much better sound quality with stereo

and surround effects.

Progressive scanning

By progressive scanning, all the horizontal lines of a picture are

displayed at one time as a single frame on a TV compatible with

NTSC color system. This system can convert the interlaced video

from DVD VIDEO into progressive format for a progressive TV. It

dramatically increases the vertical resolution.

Region code

A system for allowing discs to be played only in the regions

designated beforehand. All the countries in the world are divided

into six regions and each region is identified by a specified region

code (or region number). If the region code of a disc matches to

that of a player, the player can play back the disc.

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround encoding format records the left front channel,

right front channel, center channel, and surround channel

(monaural) signals into 2 channels.

Sampling frequency

Frequency of sampling data when analog data is converted to

digital data. Sampling frequency numerically represents how

many times the original analog signal is sampled per second.

DTS Digital Surround

Another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format, available on

CD, LD, and DVD software, developed by Digital Theater

Systems, Inc.

Transfer rate

Compared to Dolby Digital, audio compression rate is relatively

low. This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth

and depth to the reproduced sounds. As a result, DTS Digital

Surround features natural, solid and clear sound.

The rate of transferring digital data. Usually the measure is in bit

per second (bps). The DVD system applies a variable transfer rate

system for high efficiency.

Interlaced scanning

In the conventional video system, a picture is shown on the

display monitor in two halves. The Interlaced scanning system

places lines of the second half of the picture in-between lines of

the first half of the picture.

JPEG

A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint

Photographic Expert Group, which features little distortion in

image quality in spite of its high compression ratio.

Letter box

A method of displaying wide images like movies in on a 4:3 TV

screen with no part of the image deleted by placing black bands on

the top and bottom of the screen. This name has derived from the

screen form looking literally like a letter box.

MP3

A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the

abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1)

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs, tapes and mechanism clean.

General Notes

Handling MDs

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your

discs, tapes and the mechanism clean.

• Store discs and tapes in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or

on shelves.

• Do not open the shutter.

– The shutter is locked so that it will

not open. Trying to force it open will

break the MD. If the shutter opens

accidentally, close it again quickly

without touching the MD inside.

• Keep the unit’s disc trays closed when not in use.

Continued use of irregular shape discs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.)

can damage the unit.

• Do not place MDs in the following places:

– High temperature areas such as in direct

sunlight or inside a car.

– High humidity areas, e.g. in a bathroom.

– On a beach or sandy area.

Handling discs

• Clean MDs regularly.

– If dust or dirt gets on cartridge, wipe it off with a soft dry

• Remove the disc from its case by holding

it at the edge while pressing the center

hole lightly.

cloth.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc,

or bend the disc.

• Put the disc back in its case after use to

prevent warping.

Handling cassette tapes

• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up the

slack by inserting a pencil in one of the reels and

rotating.

• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or

caught in the cassette.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the

disc when placing it back in its case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,

temperature extremes, and moisture.

• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.

To clean the disc

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight

line from center to edge.

• Avoid storing tapes in any of the following

places:

– In dusty places

– In direct sunlight or heat

– In moist areas

– On a TV or speaker

– Near a magnet

DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional

record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to

clean the disc.

Cleaning the unit

• Stains on the unit

Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily

stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral

detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or

have its paint peel off, be careful about the following:

– DO NOT wipe it with a rough cloth.

– DO NOT wipe it too vigorously.

– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.

– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as an insecticide to

it.

– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact with

it for a long time.

Additional Information

MD Disc Types

There are two types of MDs: Premastered (prerecorded) and Recordable (blank).

Premastered MDs

Premastered MDs, which have been recorded at music studio, can be played back like regular CDs. On an MD of this type, data is recorded

as the presence or absence of tiny pits. A laser beam focuses on the pits on the surface of the MD and reflects the detection back to the lens in

the MD recorder. The MD recorder then decodes the signals and plays them back as music. This type of MD is called an “optical disc.”

Recordable MDs

Recordable MDs, which use magneto-optical technology, can be recorded and played back repeatedly. The laser inside the MD recorder

applies heat to the MD, demagnetizing the magnetic layer of the MD for recording and playback. This type of MD is called a “magnetic-

optical disc.”

ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding)/ATRAC3 (

)

The MD provides 80 minute recording and playback time, much more than an audio CD, but in a diameter of only 64 mm. This ability to

store such a large amount of data is the result of ATRAC, an audio compression technique developed for MD. This technology cuts out faint

sounds that would not be heard by the human beings. This technology, based on human sensitivity to sounds, reduces recorded data volume

up to about one-fifth of the original data volume.

Furthermore, this unit takes advantage of the latest ATRAC3 techniques, which can reduce the amount of data to record to one-10th or one-

20th of the original data volume. This allows for 2 times or 4 times long-hour stereo recording on this unit.

UTOC (User Table Of Contents)

Found only on recordable MDs, this area contains sub-data (track number, recording data, etc.) which can be rewritten by the user.

UTOC enables us to search for tracks quickly and edit tracks on the MD.

3:12

4:15

6:05

Sound Skip Guard Memory

The biggest weakness of discs is their susceptibility to vibration. The “Sound Skip Guard Memory” has been developed to cope with this

weakness.

With this function, a few seconds of signals read by the optical read head from the MD are first stored in memory before being reproduced as

audio signals. Thus, even when vibration or shock interrupts signals being read, these stored signals can continue to reproduce sounds for that

few seconds. Thus, the user will enjoy uninterrupted music.

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)

The MD recorder integrated to this unit uses the Serial Copy Management System which allows only first-generation digital copies to be

made of premastered software (like CDs or prerecorded MDs).

MD limitations

The MD records data in an original format that differs from that of conventional cassette tapes or DATs. Since there are some limitations

with this recording format, the following types of symptoms may occur. These symptoms are not malfunctions.

Symptoms

Cause

“DISC FULL” appears, even though there is

still enough remaining time on an MD.

There is a maximum number of tracks which can be recorded, regardless of recording

time. More than 254 tracks cannot be recorded on an MD.

“DISC FULL” appears, even though the

number of tracks and recording time do not

reach the limit.

Repeating erasure and recording on the same MD creates many blank portions sparsely

on the MD. When recording on such an MD, a track is recorded on these blank portions

sparsely. If a track is divided and recorded into so many portions, “DISC FULL” appears.

• The JOIN function sometimes does not work.

• The remaining time on the MD does not

increase even when tracks are erased.

If a divided portion of less than 8 seconds is made while a track is recorded on the

MD, that track cannot be joined to another track using the JOIN function.

Furthermore, if that track is erased, the remaining time of the MD may not increase

exactly by the erased amount.

The sound drops out during fast forward or fast

reverse.

If a track has been divided into many portions while being recorded on the MD,

sounds will drop out while fast forwarding or reversing such an MD.

The amount of recorded time on the MD added

to the amount of remaining time is shorter than

the MD’s total possible recording time.

You cannot record on a blank portion of less than 12 seconds (SP mode) on the MD.

For this reason, the actual recording time of discs may become shorter.
