The maximum number of characters which can be displayed for a file name, including the extension (.mp3 or .wma), is 64, from the first character . ! The maximum number of characters which can be displayed for a folder name is 64. ! In case of files recorded according to the Romeo file system, only the first 64 charac- ters can be displayed. ! When playing discs with MP3/WMA files and audio data (CD -DA) such as CD -EXTRA and MIXED -MODE CDs, both types can be played only by switching mode between MP3/WMA and CD-DA. ! The folder selection sequence for playback and other operations becomes the writing sequence used by the writing sof tware. F or this reason, the expected sequence at the time of playback may not coincide with the actual playback sequence. However , there also is some writing software which per- mits setting of the playback order . ! Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge into one another without a pause. When these discs are converted to MP3/WMA files and burned to a CD -R/CD-RW/CD- ROM, the files will be played back on this player with a short pause between each one, regardless of the length of the pause between tracks on the original audio CD. Important ! When naming an MP3 or a WMA file, add the corresponding filename extension (.mp3 or .wma). Additional Information En 69 Appendix Additional Information
! This unit plays back files with the filename ex- tension (.mp3 or .wma) as an MP3 or a WMA file. T o prevent noise and malfunctions, do not use these extensions for files other than MP3 or WMA files. MP3 additional information ! Files are compatible with the ID3 T ag V er . 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 formats for display of album (disc title), track (track title), artist (track artist) and comments. V er . 2.x of ID3 T ag is given priority when both V er . 1.x and V er . 2.x exist. ! The emphasis function is valid only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequen- cies are played back. (16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz sampling frequencies can be played back.) ! There is no m3u playlist compatibility. ! There is no compatibility with the MP3i (MP3 interactive) or mp3 PRO formats. ! The sound quality of MP3 files generally be- comes better with an increased bit rate. This unit can play recordings with bit rates from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be able to enjoy sound of a certain quality , we recommend using only discs recorded with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps. WMA additional information ! This unit plays back WMA files encoded by Windows Media Player version 7 and 8. ! Y ou can only play back WMA files in the fre- quencies 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz. ! The sound quality of WMA files generally becomes better with an increased bit rate. This unit can play recordings with bit rates from 48 kbps to 192 kbps, but in order to be able to enjoy sound of a certain quality , we recommend using discs recorded with a higher bit rate. ! This unit does not play back WMA files re- corded as VBR (variable bit rate). About folders and MP3/ WMA files ! An outline of a CD-ROM with MP3/WMA files on it is shown below . Subfolders are shown as folders in the folder currently se- lected. 3 1 2 1 First level 2 Second level 3 Third level Notes ! This unit assigns folder numbers. The user can not assign folder numbers. ! It is not possible to check folders that do not include MP3/WMA files. (These folders will be skipped without displaying the folder number .) Additional Information En 70 Appendix
! MP3/WMA files in up to 8 tiers of folders can be played back. However , there is a delay in the start of playback on discs with numerous tiers. For this reason we recommend creating discs with no more than 2 tiers. ! It is possible to play back up to 253 items from folders on one disc. Using the display correctly CAUTION !

T erms Aspect ratio This is the width-to -height ratio of a TV screen. A regular display has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Wide screen displays have an aspect ratio of 16:9, providing a bigger picture for exceptional presence and atmosphere. Bit rate This expresses data volume per second, or bps units (bits per second). The higher the rate, the more information is available to reproduce the sound. Using the same encoding method (such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better the sound. Chapter DVD titles are in turn divided into chapters which are numbered in the same way as the chapters of a book. With DVD video discs fea- turing chapters, you can quickly find a desired scene with chapter search. Dolby Digital Dolby Digital provides multi-channel audio from up to 5.1 independent channels. This is the same as the Dolby Digital surround sound system used in theaters. DTS This stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is a surround system delivering multi-channel audio from up to 6 independent channels. ID3 tag This is a method of embedding track-related information in an MP3 file. This embedded in- formation can include the track title, the ar- tist îÂÂs name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, comments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3 T ag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted as to the num- ber of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back. ISO9660 format This is the international standard for the for- mat logic of CD -ROM folders and files. F or the ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the following two levels. Level 1: The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con- sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English capital letters and half-byte numerals and the î _î sign, with a file-extension of three charac- ters.) Level 2: The file name can have up to 31 characters (in- cluding the separation mark î .î and a file ex- tension). Each folder contains less than 8 hierarchies. Extended formats Joliet: File names can have up to 64 characters. Romeo: File names can have up to 128 characters. Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code modulation This stands for linear pulse code modulation, which is the signal recording system used for music CDs and DVDs. Generally , DVDs are re- corded with higher sampling frequency and bit rate than CDs. Therefore, DVDs can provide higher sound quality . m3u Playlists created using the î WINAMP î soft- ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u). MP3 MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an audio compression standard set by a working Additional Information En 74 Appendix
group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan- dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con- ventional disc. MPEG This stands for Moving P ictures Experts Group, and is an international video image compression standard. Some DVDs feature di- gital audio compressed and recorded using this system. Multi-angle With regular TV programs, although multiple cameras are used to simultaneously shoot scenes, only images from one camera at a time are transmitted to your TV . Some DVDs feature scenes shot from multiple angles, let- ting you choose your viewing angle as desired. Multi-audio (Multilingual dialog) Some DVDs feature dialog recorded in multi- ple languages. Dialog in up to 8 languages can be recorded on a single disc, letting you choose as desired. Multi-session Multi-session is a recording method that al- lows additional data to be recorded later . When recording data on a CD -ROM, CD-R or CD-RW , etc., all data from beginning to end is treated as a single unit or session. Multi-ses- sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses- sions on one disc. Multi-subtitle Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be re- corded on a single DVD, letting you choose as desired. Optical digital output/input By transmitting and receiving audio signals in a digital signal format, the chance of sonic quality deteriorating in the course of transmis- sion is minimized. An optical digital output/ input is designed to transmit and receive digi- tal signals optically . Packet write This is a general term for a method of writing on CD -R , etc., at the time required for a file, just as is done with files on floppy or hard discs. Parental lock Some DVD video discs with violent or adult- or- iented scenes feature parental lock which pre- vents children from viewing such scenes. With this kind of disc, if you set the unit îÂÂs parental lock level, playback of scenes inappropriate for children will be disabled, or these scenes will be skipped. Playback control (PBC) This is a playback control signal recorded on Video CDs (V ersion 2.0). Using menu displays provided by Video CDs with PBC lets you enjoy playback of simple interactive software and software with search functions. Y ou can also enjoy viewing high- and standard-resolution still images. Region number DVD players and DVD discs feature region numbers indicating the area in which they were purchased. Playback of a DVD is not pos- sible unless it features the same region num- ber as the DVD player . This unit îÂÂs region number is displayed on the bottom of the unit. Title DVD video discs have high data capacity , en- abling recording of multiple movies on a sin- gle disc. If , for example, one disc contains three separate movies, they are divided into title 1, title 2 and title 3. This lets you enjoy the convenience of title search and other func- tions. Additional Information En 75 Appendix Additional Information
VBR VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit rate according to the needs of audio compres- sion, it is possible to achieve compression- priority sound quality . WMA WMA is short for Windows Media " Audio and refers to an audio compression technol- ogy that is developed by Microsof t Corpora- tion. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 7 or later . Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsof t Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. Additional Information En 76 Appendix

! At low temperatures, the LCD screen may be dark for a while af ter the power is turned on. ! The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is exposed to direct sunlight. ! When using a portable phone, keep the an- tenna of the portable phone away from the display to prevent disruption of the video by the appearance of spots, colored stripes, etc. Keeping the display in good condition ! When removing dust from the screen or cleaning the display , first turn the system power off , then wipe with a soft dr y cloth. ! When wiping the screen, take care not to scratch the sur face. Do not use harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners. Small fluorescent tube ! A small fluorescent tube is used inside the display to illuminate the LCD screen. î The fluorescent tube should last for ap- proximately 10,000 hours, depending on operating conditions. (Using the display at low temperatures reduces the ser vice life of the fluorescent tube.) î When the fluorescent tube reaches the end of its useful life, the screen will be dark and the image will no longer be projected. If this happens, consult your dealer or the nearest authorized PIO - NEER Ser vice Station. Additional Information En 72 Appendix

T erms Aspect ratio This is the width-to -height ratio of a TV screen. A regular display has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Wide screen displays have an aspect ratio of 16:9, providing a bigger picture for exceptional presence and atmosphere. Bit rate This expresses data volume per second, or bps units (bits per second). The higher the rate, the more information is available to reproduce the sound. Using the same encoding method (such as MP3), the higher the rate, the better the sound. Chapter DVD titles are in turn divided into chapters which are numbered in the same way as the chapters of a book. With DVD video discs fea- turing chapters, you can quickly find a desired scene with chapter search. Dolby Digital Dolby Digital provides multi-channel audio from up to 5.1 independent channels. This is the same as the Dolby Digital surround sound system used in theaters. DTS This stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is a surround system delivering multi-channel audio from up to 6 independent channels. ID3 tag This is a method of embedding track-related information in an MP3 file. This embedded in- formation can include the track title, the ar- tist îÂÂs name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, comments and other data. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3 T ag editing functions. Although the tags are restricted as to the num- ber of characters, the information can be viewed when the track is played back. ISO9660 format This is the international standard for the for- mat logic of CD -ROM folders and files. F or the ISO9660 format, there are regulations for the following two levels. Level 1: The file name is in 8.3 format (the name con- sists of up to 8 characters, half-byte English capital letters and half-byte numerals and the î _î sign, with a file-extension of three charac- ters.) Level 2: The file name can have up to 31 characters (in- cluding the separation mark î .î and a file ex- tension). Each folder contains less than 8 hierarchies. Extended formats Joliet: File names can have up to 64 characters. Romeo: File names can have up to 128 characters. Linear PCM (LPCM)/Pulse code modulation This stands for linear pulse code modulation, which is the signal recording system used for music CDs and DVDs. Generally , DVDs are re- corded with higher sampling frequency and bit rate than CDs. Therefore, DVDs can provide higher sound quality . m3u Playlists created using the î WINAMP î soft- ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u). MP3 MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3. It is an audio compression standard set by a working Additional Information En 74 Appendix
group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Stan- dards Organization). MP3 is able to compress audio data to about 1/10th the level of a con- ventional disc. MPEG This stands for Moving P ictures Experts Group, and is an international video image compression standard. Some DVDs feature di- gital audio compressed and recorded using this system. Multi-angle With regular TV programs, although multiple cameras are used to simultaneously shoot scenes, only images from one camera at a time are transmitted to your TV . Some DVDs feature scenes shot from multiple angles, let- ting you choose your viewing angle as desired. Multi-audio (Multilingual dialog) Some DVDs feature dialog recorded in multi- ple languages. Dialog in up to 8 languages can be recorded on a single disc, letting you choose as desired. Multi-session Multi-session is a recording method that al- lows additional data to be recorded later . When recording data on a CD -ROM, CD-R or CD-RW , etc., all data from beginning to end is treated as a single unit or session. Multi-ses- sion is a method of recording more than 2 ses- sions on one disc. Multi-subtitle Subtitles in up to 32 languages can be re- corded on a single DVD, letting you choose as desired. Optical digital output/input By transmitting and receiving audio signals in a digital signal format, the chance of sonic quality deteriorating in the course of transmis- sion is minimized. An optical digital output/ input is designed to transmit and receive digi- tal signals optically . Packet write This is a general term for a method of writing on CD -R , etc., at the time required for a file, just as is done with files on floppy or hard discs. Parental lock Some DVD video discs with violent or adult- or- iented scenes feature parental lock which pre- vents children from viewing such scenes. With this kind of disc, if you set the unit îÂÂs parental lock level, playback of scenes inappropriate for children will be disabled, or these scenes will be skipped. Playback control (PBC) This is a playback control signal recorded on Video CDs (V ersion 2.0). Using menu displays provided by Video CDs with PBC lets you enjoy playback of simple interactive software and software with search functions. Y ou can also enjoy viewing high- and standard-resolution still images. Region number DVD players and DVD discs feature region numbers indicating the area in which they were purchased. Playback of a DVD is not pos- sible unless it features the same region num- ber as the DVD player . This unit îÂÂs region number is displayed on the bottom of the unit. Title DVD video discs have high data capacity , en- abling recording of multiple movies on a sin- gle disc. If , for example, one disc contains three separate movies, they are divided into title 1, title 2 and title 3. This lets you enjoy the convenience of title search and other func- tions.

VBR VBR is short for variable bit rate. Generally speaking CBR (constant bit rate) is more widely used. But by flexibly adjusting the bit rate according to the needs of audio compres- sion, it is possible to achieve compression- priority sound quality . WMA WMA is short for Windows Media " Audio and refers to an audio compression technol- ogy that is developed by Microsof t Corpora- tion. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 7 or later . Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsof t Corporation in the United States and/or other countries. Additional Information En 76 Appendix
