Tips for making WMA/MP3 and JPEG discs (For CD-R, CD-RW)
• Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended
formats).
• This unit supports multi-session but if there are a lot of sessions it

• When there are more than 8 groups, the eighth group onwards will
be displayed on one vertical line in the menu screen.
• There may be differences in the display order on the menu screen
and computer screen.
• This unit cannot play files recorded using packet write.
Naming folders and files e.g.
(Files are treated as content and folders root
are treated as groups on this unit.)
At the time of recording, prefix folder and
file names with 3-digit numbers in the
order you want to play them (this may not
work at times).
Files must have the extension:
".WMA" or ".wma"
".MP3" or ".mp3"
".JPG', ".jpg", ".JPEG" or ".jpeg"

1. Damage requiring service--The unit should be serviced by
qualified service personnel if:
(a) The AC power supply cord or AC adaptor has been damaged;
or
(b) Objects or liquids have gotten into the unit; or
(c) The unit has been exposed to rain; or

2. Servicing--Do not attempt to service the unit beyond that
described in these operating instructions. Refer all other
servicing to authorized servicing personnel.
3. Replacement parts--When parts need replacing ensure the
servicer uses parts specified by the manufacturer or parts that
have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized
substitutes may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
4. Safety check--After repairs or service, ask the servicer to
perform safety checks to confirm that the unit is in proper working
condition.
The servicer will require all components to service your system.
Therefore, should service ever be necessary, be sure to bring the
entire system.
I Product information
For product information or assistance with product operation:
In the U.S.A., refer to "Customer Services Directory" on page 35.
In Canada, contact the Panasonic Canada Inc. Customer Care
Centre at 1-800-561-5505, or visit the website
(www.panasonic.ca), or an authorized Servicentre closest to
you.
In other areas, consult your dealer.
Clean this unit with a soft, dry cloth.
oNever use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
• Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the
instructions that came with the cloth.
Do not use commercially available lens cleaners as they may
cause malfunction. (Cleaning of the lens is generally not necessary
although this depends on the operating environment.)
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVD's to normal.
This is called decoding.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can
also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can
be recorded on one disc using this method.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the
world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic
sound effects are possible.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound
that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest
level of sound before distortion occurs.
Frame still and field still
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving
picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these
fields one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is
made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred,
but overall quality is high.
A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a
frame still so picture quality is lower.
I/P/B
MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
h Intra coded picture
This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when
adjusting the picture.
P: Predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.
B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture
This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and
P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.
Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)
These are uncompresseddigitalsignals,similarto those found on CDs.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and
information with menus.
Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave
(analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital
encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per
second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the
original sound.

Listening caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider
how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's
Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come
through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion--and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be
loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
eStart your volume control at a low setting.
eSlowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
eSet the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
Please check and identify the supplied accessories. Use numbers indicated in parentheses when asking for replacement parts.
(Product numbers correct as of December 2004. These may be subject to change.)
Only for U.S.A.: To order accessories, refer to "Accessory Purchases" on page 35.
For other areas: To order accessories, call the dealer from whom you made your purchase.
