Playable discs
The DVD VIDEO Logo is a trademark.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with SVCD, Video CD, Audio CD or MP3 format can be played back, though
some may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording condition. Note that the CD-R
and CD-RW that are not finalized cannot be played back.
• DVD VIDEO players and DVD discs have their own Region Code numbers. This unit only can play back DVD
VIDEO discs whose Region Code numbers include “2.”
Examples of playable DVD VIDEO discs:
Non-playable discs
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD AUDIO, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, CD-ROM, PHOTO CD, CD-EXTRA, CD-G,
CD-TEXT, SACD
• 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, Video CD or SVCD 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.
For the MP3 disc structure, see page 40.
