(MPEG).
Use of MP3 allows for audio data to be
compressed to approximately a tenth of
the source data size.
This unit plays fi les with the extension
(.mp3) as MP3 fi les.
*1 International Organisation for
Standardisation
CAUTION
Do not use an audio fi le extension on

Operating Tips for DVD Player
Condensation phenomenon
Immediately after turning on the heater
when the vehicle is cold, the DVD or
optical components (prism and lens) in the
DVD player may become clouded with
condensation. At this time, the DVD will
eject immediately when placed in the unit.
A clouded DVD can be corrected simply
by wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded
optical components will clear naturally in
about an hour. Wait for normal operation
to return before attempting to use the unit.
Handling the DVD player
The following precautions should be
observed.
 


 Do not use deformed or cracked DVDs.
The disc may not eject resulting in a
malfunction.
 


 Do not use non-conventional discs such
as heart-shaped, etc. The disc may not
eject resulting in a malfunction.
 


 If the memory portion of the DVD is
transparent or translucent, do not use the
disc.
Transparent
 


 A new DVD may have rough edges on
its inner and outer perimeters. If a disc
with rough edges is used, proper setting
will not be possible and the DVD player
will not play the DVD. In addition,
the disc may not eject resulting in a
malfunction. Remove the rough edges
in advance by using a ball-point pen
or pencil as shown below. To remove
the rough edges, rub the side of the pen
or pencil against the inner and outer
perimeter of the DVD.
 


 When driving over uneven surfaces, the
sound may jump.
 


 DVDs bearing the logo shown in the
illustration or DVD-R/DVD
R/DVD-
RW/DVD
RW written with video data
(DVD-Video/DVD-VR fi le) can be
played.
 


 Use discs that have been legitimately
produced. If illegally-copied discs such
as pirated discs are used, the system may
not operate properly.

 Be sure never to touch the signal surface
when handling the DVDs. Pick up a
DVD by grasping the outer edge or the
edge of the hole and the outer edge.
 


 Do not stick paper or tape on the DVD.
Avoid scratching the reverse side (the
side without a label). The disc may not
eject resulting in a malfunction.
 


 Dust, fi nger smudges, and dirt can
decrease the amount of light refl ected
from the signal surface, thus affecting
sound quality. If the DVD should
become soiled, gently wipe it with a soft
cloth from the centre of the DVD to the
edge.
 


 Do not use record sprays, antistatic
agents, or household spray cleaners.
Volatile chemicals such as benzine and
thinner can also damage the surface
of the DVD and must not be used.
Anything that can damage, warp, or fog
plastic should never be used to clean
DVDs.
 


 The DVD player ejects the DVD if the
DVD is inserted upside down. Also dirty
and/or defective DVDs may be ejected.
 


 Do not insert cleaning discs in the DVD
player.
 


 Do not insert any disc with a peel-off
seal affi xed to it.




 This unit may not be able to play certain
DVD-R/DVD

direct sunlight or high temperature may
damage the DVD-R/DVD
R/DVD-

eject resulting in a malfunction.
 


 The conditions in which a DVD video
can be played may be pre-determined
depending on the intentions of the disc
software creator. Functions may not
operate as the user intends because

Glossary
DVD-Video
DVD-Video is a video image storing
standard determined by the DVD forum.
“MPEG2”, a global standard in digital
compression technologies, has been
adopted which compresses on average
about 1/40th of the image data and stores
it. In addition, a variable-rate coding
technology, which changes the assigned
information amount according to the shape
of the screen image, has been adopted.
Audio information can be stored using
Dolby digital instead of PCM (Pulse Code
Modulation) and more realistic sounding
audio can be enjoyed.
In addition, various, supplementary
functions such as multi-language
availability are provided for enhanced
enjoyment.
DVD-VR
DVD-VR is short for DVD Video
Recording Format; video image storing
standard determined by the DVD forum.
Multi-angle
One of the DVD player's functions.
Because scenes can be recorded in
multiple angles (camera position), users
can choose a desired angle.
Multi-language
As a function of the DVD player, audio
or subtitles for the same video images can
be stored in multiple languages and the
language can be selected freely. Region code
DVD players and discs are assigned codes
for each market region and only discs
manufactured for that specifi c region can
be played.
A disc cannot be played if the region code
assigned to the player is not indicated on
the disc.
In addition, even if a region code is not
indicated on the disc, disc playback may
be prohibited depending on the region. In
this case, a disc may not be playable in
this DVD player.
Operating Tips for OGG
OGG is the audio compression format for
Xiph. Org Foundation.
Audio data can be created and stored at a
higher compression ratio than MP3.
This unit plays fi les with the extension
(.ogg) as OGG fi les.
CAUTION

Do not use an audio fi le extension on
fi les other than audio fi les. In addition,
do not change the audio fi le extension.
Otherwise, the unit will not recognise
the fi le correctly resulting in noise or a
malfunction.
 


 OGG fi les written under specifi cations
other than the indicated specifi cation
may not play normally or fi les or folder
names may not display correctly.
 


 The fi le extension may not be provided
depending on the computer operating
system, version, software, or settings. In
this case, add the fi le extension “.ogg” to
the end of the fi le name, and then write
it to the disc.
