Audio problems
Creating MP3 discs
MP3 discs can be created from a computer using appropriate
MP3 encoding software and a CD-ROM writer.
Generate the MP3 files with a data rate of at least 128Kbits per
second. Group the tracks into folders to create separate albums
on the disc. Do not create folders within the folders.
Tracks and albums are played in the order in which they are
recorded onto the CD-ROM. Usually this will be in alphabetical
order of filename.
There is no sound when playing a disc
❍ Check that your preamplifier is switched on, and the volume is
at an appropriate level.
❍ Check that the DVD player is connected correctly to the other
components of your system; see Setting up the DVD player,
❍ Check that the correct source has been selected on your
preamplifier.
❍ Try playing another disc. If this disc works, check the problem
disc for signs of dirt or damage.
❍ If you are using the DVD player with a preamplifier or active
loudspeakers check that the Digital audio format menu
option is set to PCM; see To select the digital audio output
Some of my speakers are quiet
Although the 598 is a multi-channel player, it is not a surround
controller, so it does not have any surround sound processing
modes, eg Trifield, built in. Playing a CD or a DVD with a two-
channel soundtrack will result in sound coming from only the left
and right outputs of the player. A multi-channel disc will be
decoded to the appropriate number of channels.
