About discs
Playable and non-playable disc types are as follows:
Playable discs
The DVD VIDEO Logo is a trademark.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with the Audio CD format and CD-R discs recorded with the Audio CD, Video CD and
MP3 format can be played back, though some discs may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or
recording condition.
• DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own Region Code numbers. This unit only can play back DVD
VIDEO discs whose Region Code numbers include “1”.
Examples of playable DVD VIDEO discs:
This unit accommodates both the NTSC and PAL system and can playback discs recorded with either system.
Note that a PAL video signal on a disc is converted to an NTSC signal and output.
• When playing back a “PAL” disc, the Progressive scan mode is never active even if you set the Progressive scan mode
to active.
Non-playable discs
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD AUDIO, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, PHOTO CD, CD-EXTRA, CD-G, CD-TEXT
• Playing back discs listed as “Non-playable discs” above may generate noise and damage speakers.
• This unit can play back audio recorded in CD-G, CD-EXTRA and CD-TEXT discs.
A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of “titles”, while an Audio CD or Video CD is comprised of “tracks”. Each title may be
divided into some “chapters”. For example, if a DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title
number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO KARAOKE disc, each song usually has its
own title number and does not have chapters. In general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the
same title has continuity.
