Can I play back audio on a disc labeled "Dolby Digital EX"? Yes, you can play back the disc because Dolby Digital EX
is compatible with Dolby Digital. However, to get the
maximum performance of Dolby Digital EX, we
recommend to connect the DIGITAL OUT jack to a decoder
or amplifier/receiver with built-in decoder that supports
Dolby Digital EX. In this case, set "DIGITAL AUDIO
OUTPUT" on the "AUDIO" preference display to
"STREAM/PCM."

Can I play back audio on a disc labeled "DTS ES"?
Is there any difference in the playback settings between
Discrete and Matrix recording systems for DTS ES?
You cannot listen to the audio using the analog audio
outputs (AUDIO OUT). However, you can listen to DTS ES
audio by connecting the DIGITAL OUT jack to a decoder or
amplifier/receiver with built-in decoder that supports DTS
ES. In this case, set "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" on the
"AUDIO" preference display to "STREAM/PCM."

Can this unit play back a disc labeled "THX"?
What does "THX" mean?
Yes you can. "THX" is the name of a standard for high
quality picture and audio recording, established by
Lucasfilm Ltd. The "THX" label on a disc certifies that it
meets this standard.
When files of the MP3 and Audio CD formats are recorded
on a same disc, can the unit play files of both formats?
Discs like this are of the data CD format, not the Audio CD
format. The unit can play only the MP3 files.

Some Dolby Digital discs contain 5.1-ch Surround or
Dolby Surround audio data. What is the difference
between these two types?
Both are surround sound standards developed by Dolby
Laboratories Inc. in the U.S.A.
In Dolby Surround, two-channel surround audio
information is recorded onto the analog stereo (left and
right) channels together with front stereo audio
information. When played back, the surround signals are
separated by a Dolby Surround or Dolby Pro Logic
decoder.
Dolby Digital digitally encodes and records up to six
channels of information for left, right, center, rear left, rear
right and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect, for use with a
subwoofer).
When played back, a Dolby Digital decoder decodes the
data and outputs signals separately.
Generally, Dolby Digital sounds better.

When playing back a DVD VIDEO or Video CD disc,
something like a mosaic appears on the TV screen. Is this
because of a malfunction of the unit?
This is block noise specific to a digitally recorded motion
picture. It is not a malfunction of the unit.
The unit does not function as described in this Instruction
Manual.
The operation of this unit may occasionally be
unacceptable due to the intention of the disc contents
creator and/or structural restrictions.
Can I record DVD VIDEO data on a video tape? Most of all DVD VIDEO discs are copy-protected so that
you cannot record DVD VIDEO data onto any video tape.
