Depending on the audio equipment connected to the digital output (coaxial or optical), you will need to adjust the audio option settings as explained below. From the Main Menu, select Audio Options, then set each item (Dolby Digital, PCM, MPEG, DTS) as explained below, using the Navigation keys. Digital audio output * If the DVD disc contains an audio format of higher quality than 48kHz/16bit (maybe 96kHz/ 24bit), the player has to convert into a format compatible with DAT or MD. ** In this case you do not hear the highest sound quality possible recorded on the disc (the analog AUDIO OUT is also affected). Caution for the optical or coaxial audio output. When connecting an amplifier (with an optical/coaxial digital input connector) which does not contain the Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder, be sure to select: • Dolby Digital = PCM • DTS = Off Do not use ... the Digital Audio Out sockets to connect to an equipment other than a Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG 2 receiver or a suitable decoder. Such a connection can create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears and could damage headphones or speakers. Older digital equipment, some of which are not fully compliant with IEC 958, are likely to cause this problem.If you encounter this problem, use the Digital audio out menu (see above) to convert the Dolby Digital audio bitstream output to linear PCM. The same should be applied with the so-called Optical or Coaxial REC.OUT socket of Dolby Digital decoders, when they are connected to this DVD player. Since REC.OUT is a 1:1 copy of the decoder's input, no other equipment should be connected there.

you may notice some disturbance or picture freezing for a few seconds during the layer change. CD-R discs. This unit can play most CD-R discs. However, depending on the condition of the CD-recorder, computer and the disc used, you may find that not all discs will play successfully. When playing a CD-R disc, it is completely normal for the unit to take up to 30 seconds to recognize the disc before starting to play. If the disc is not recognized after a period of 30 seconds, remove the disc, and then insert it again. If after several trials, this disc cannot be recognized, make sure you have followed the recommendations below or try another type of disc. Use CD-R data discs. There are two main types of recordable CDs: CD-R audio discs (for music only), which should be used when recording with Hifi CD- audio recorder, and CD-R data Discs, which should be used when recording with a personal computer. Use no more than 630 Mb of recording, regardless of the actual capacity of the CD-R disc. Use only 650 Mb (74 minutes) CD-R, and avoid the 700 Mb format (80 minutes recording time). Some studies show that blue-color CD-Rs may sometimes give lower playback quality than other-color CD-Rs. Never use CD-RW (recordable/rewritable) discs. These CDs are designed for multiple use, and are oriented to computer use rather than music. Playback quality with these discs can vary with the equipment used and many other technical factors. Use a completely brand new CD-R disc (which has not been recorded at all). Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc recording. Use a good quality CD-R recording program. Make your recordings in a single, one shot recording session, using the option “write at once” This session should be the first session recorded on a blank CD-R disc. (Your home computer allows CD-R recording in several “passes” or sessions, and the computer can play back these individual sessions without difficulty. With a DVD player, however, there is just one play list, and the DVD player only plays what was recorded in that first play list. You should therefore make sure you can record all the tracks you intend recording in a single session.) Do not under-record. If you make just a few recordings on your disc the DVD player will take a long time searching for and locating these few tracks. Disc playback recommendations IB5400GB 3/09/01 16:14 Page 34

This means that no more recording can be added, later on, on this disc. Your home computer will only do this if you have ticked the right option in your recording program, at the end of the recording session. CD-R MP3 discs. In the case of CD-R MP 3 discs, please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above, plus the comments below: Your MP3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format. ISO 9660 format and Joliet MP3 files are compatible with Microsoft’s DOS and Windows, and with Apple’s Mac. These two formats are the most widely used. When naming your MP3 files do not exceed 8 characters, and place “.mp3” as the file extension. General name format of: Title.mp3. When composing your title ensure that you use 8 characters or less, have no spaces in the name, and avoid the use of special characters including: ( . , / , \ , = ,+ ). Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128 kb/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording MP3 files. Sound quality with MP3 files basically depends on the rate of compression/decompression you choose. Getting audio CD quality sound requires an analog/digital sampling rate, that is conversion to MP3 format, of at least 128 kb/sec and up to 160 kb/sec. However, choosing higher rates, like 192 kb/sec or more, only rarely give even better sound quality. Conversely, files with sampling rates below 128 kb/sec will not be played properly. Do not try recording copyright protected MP3 files. Certain “securized” files are encrypted and code protected to prevent illegal copying. These files are of the following types: Windows Media™(registered trade mark of Microsoft Inc) and SDMI™(registered trade mark of The SDMI Foundation). You must not copy such files. Your DVD player only accepts one level of file directory. Consequently you must choose: • either to save all your MP3 recording files at the root of the disc; • and/or create folders in the directory for each artist or music type (e.g. classical, rock, jazz, etc) This should be organized as suggested below: Artist1 Title1.mp3 Artist2 Title3.mp3 Title2.mp3 Title4.mp3... And so on. Important: The above recommendations cannot be taken as a guarantee that the DVD player will play MP3 recordings, or as an assurance of sound quality. You should note that certain technologies and methods for MP3 file recording on CD-Rs prevent optimal playback of these files on your DVD player (that is degraded sound quality and even, in some cases, inability of the player to read the file or files). Note: The above recommendations were updated in April 2001. Disc playback recommendations IB5400GB 3/09/01 16:14 Page 35
