l

LPCM 48K

In the Linear PCM setting, “48K” means

“the digital audio output maximum sampling rate is

Notes:

l

Sampling rate:

When a sound wave is converted to a digital signal, the sound is sampled and converted to data at

a specific frequency rate. For example, a signal with a 96 kHz sampling rate indicates that in one

second, the analog signal was sampled 96000 times to produce the digital signal.

l

In LPCM set-up menu, there will be a case that even when “LPCM 96K” is selected, output signal

is converted to 48KHz if the disc has the copy guard management system in it.

Section 1: What is a JPEG?

JPEG is short for the 'Joint Photographic Experts Group', a group of experts nominated to produce

standards for continuous tone image coding.

The best known standard from JPEG is 10918-1 (ITU-T T.81), which is the first of a multi-part set of

standards for still image compression. This allows you to create files (such as photographs, drawings,

and most clip-art) that can be archived on a CD-R for viewing on theAD-1600/1700M, computer, or the

web.

W MPEG-4?hat is

MPEG-4 is a highly efficient video compression standard being able to shrink MPEG-2 video files to

1/8 of it's original size. Most video streaming technologies , for example DivX and XviD, are based on

this standard. MPEG4 is the most popular and widest spread digital video technology.

HOW TO PLAYBACK YOUR MPEG-4 CD?

1. Press OPEN/CLOSE. Place the CD on the disc tray, and press OPEN/CLOSE again to close the

disc tray.

2. Select a folder or an AVI file contained on the CD. Use the direction keys to navigate among the

items.

3. Press PLAY. The player will start the playback.

HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN MPEG-4 DISC?

1. Convert your source material (e.g. videos from your camcorder) with a suitable program like “Dr.

DivX” to MPEG-4 file format.

2. Place a blank recording media (recordable CD or DVD) into PC CD/DVD burner or other record

devices.

3. Burn your favourite MPEG-4 files on that media using a burning application software like Nero

Burning ROM, Clone CD, etc. Do not use UDF file format for burning. We recommend to use ISO

9660 Level 1 or 2. Do not use multisession.

Note :

s

1. The MPEG-4 file must be conforming to ISO MPEG-4 simple or advanced profile without using

Quarter pixel (QPEL)

2. We recommend to use max. bitrate of 2000 kBit/sec and a maximum resolution of 720 x 576 pixel

(PAL) or 720 x 480 pixel (NTSC).

3. Please use quality brand recording media as they usually provide better compatibility. We

recommend not to use maximum burning speed.

Advanced users:

1. When you create MPEG-4 files, DO NOT use progressive B-frames, GMC or QPEL. Even if your

player can play the files, it might cause problems on other DVD players.

2. Your DVD player is optimised for playback of standard resolution files, If the MPEG-4 file does not

show correct aspect ratio on your player, check the resolution. Optimal resolutions are 720 * 576 /

720 * 480 / 640 x 480 / 320 x 240 / 352 x 288

3. Your player can accept peak bitrates even much higher than 2000 kBit/sec. However, we cannot

guarantee that these files play back correctly, especially on other devices. If you want to use

higher bitrates than average 2000 kBit, we recommend to make some tests before converting

your video material.

As MPEG-4 is an open standard, we cannot guarantiee that all MPEG-4 files play back correctly

on this DVD player

.

DivX subtitles

Your Xoro DVD player can display DivX subtitles. It supports srt, sub and smi

Before you start playback, the subtitle file must be activated. As soon as the player has read the CD

on the remote control. The player prompts “DivX subtitle selected”. Now, you can start the movie and

the selected subtitles will be displayed. You can deactivate the subtitle display simply by pressing

SUBTITLE key on the remote control.

Note:

l

Subtitles are not supported in all languages. It may be possible that other languages are

supported, too due to an improved firmware. Also, other subtitle formats may be supported by

newer firmware. You can check www.xoro.com for newer firmware. Please note that some

programs create subtitles which are not compatible with this player.This is normal and is no defect
