9. A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.

10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.

This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

17. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

18. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

19. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

20. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

21. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product, c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water, d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified

technician to restore the product to its normal operation, e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this

indicates a need for service.

22. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

23. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

COAXIAL

OPTICAL

When playing DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS, the Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream is output from the DVD-2930CI’s digital audio output terminal. By connecting the DVD-2930CI to an AV amplifier equipped with a built-in Dolby Digital or DTS decoder you can achieve sound with a power and sense of presence like that of a movie theater or concert hall.

Match the shapes

• If the TV to which the player is to be connected is compatible with progressive scan video, connect to the component video input terminals.

• The DVD-2930CI’s progressive output (525P) is compatible with Macrovision copy guard. With TVs that are not compatible with the DVD-2930CI, the picture may be affected. In this case, set “COMPONENT VIDEO OUT” at “VIDEO SETUP” to “INTERLACED”.

• For TVs not compatible with the progressive mode, set “COMPONENT VIDEO OUT” at “VIDEO SETUP” to “INTERLACED”.

• When using an optical fiber cable (commercially available), insert its plug fully in the proper direction.

NOTE:

• Connect the DVD-2930CI’s video output either directly to the TV or indirectly via an AV amplifier. Do not connect it via a VCR (video cassette recorder). Some discs include copy prohibit signals. If such discs are played via a VCR, the copy guard system may disturb the picture.

NOTE:

• Playing a DVD recorded in DTS when connected to an AV amplifier (decoder) that is not DTS compatible could result in noise that is unpleasant on the ears and could damage the speakers.

Connection to a device with 2-channels of analog audio inputs

AUDIO IN

• Bitstream:

These are signals that have been compressed and converted to digital. Depending on the decoder, they are decoded for example into 5.1-channel multi-channel audio signals.

• Linear PCM (LPCM):

These are audio signals that have been converted to digital without being compressed (the signal recording format used for music CDs). While music CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit format, DVDs are recorded in anything between

44.1 kHz/16 bit and 192 kHz/24 bit format, so they generally offer higher sound quality than music CDs.

• Packed PCM (PPCM):

These are compressed PCM signals providing high sound quality with virtually no data loss when restored to the original signals.

• When a DVD source containing PCM signals recorded in multi-channel is played, the signals are down-mixed to the 2-channels for output (the DVD-2930CI’s “D.MIX” indicator lights). For sources for which down-mixing is prohibited, only the FL and FR channels are output.

•To achieve high quality analog sound, we recommend setting “DIGITAL OUTPUT” to “OFF” for the “PURE DIRECT MODE” setting ( page 28). (This minimizes influence from the digital output circuitry.)

NOTE:

• When connecting to a 2-channel audio stereo device, use the “2ch AUDIO OUT” terminals. If the

“5.1ch AUDIO OUT FL/FR” terminals are used, set “AUDIO SETUP” in “initial settings” to “2CH (VSS OFF)”, “2CH (VSS1 ON)” or “2CH (VSS2 ON)” ( page 22). For software recorded in multichannel, analog signals that have been down-mixed into two channels are output. (For sources for which down-mixing is prohibited, only the FL/FR signals are output.)

* The video signals are only output in RGB format.

• Digital transfer is possible up to 24 bit/2ch for 192/176.4 kHz, 24 bit/6ch for 96 kHz or less.

• When making DENON LINK connections, be sure to check the version of the AV amplifier to be connected then make the “DENON LINK” setting at “initial settings” appropriately ( page 19). If two DENON LINK terminals of different versions are interconnected, there may be no sound or only noise.

• When “DENON LINK” is set, downmixed audio signals are output from the DVD-2930CI’s analog audio output terminals (L/R and FL/FR). When using the 5.1-channel analog audio terminals, set the “DENON LINK” setting in the initial settings to “OFF”.

• The DVD-2930CI’s speaker settings are invalidated when the DENON LINK terminal is connected. (Make the speaker settings on the AV amplifier to which the DVD-2930CI is connected.)

• When the DENON LINK 2nd connection, Super Audio CD’s signals are not output from the DENON LINK terminal. Please use the analog audio output terminals.

At “AUDIO SETUP”, set “DIGITAL OUTPUT” to “PCM” ( page 23), “DOWN SAMPLING” to “ON” ( page 23). Playing a DVD without first making the correct settings could result in noise that is unpleasant on the ears and could damage the speakers.

¢ Copyright protection system

In order to play the digital video and audio signals of DVD-Video and DVD-Audio discs using HDMI connections, both the player and the TV, AV amplifier, etc., must be compatible with a copyright protection system called “HDCP” (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection system). HDCP is a copyright protection technology consisting of data encrypting and authentication of the connected device. The DVD-2930CI is HDCP compatible. When a device that is not compatible with HDCP is connected, video signals will not be output normally. For information on your TV, AV amplifier, etc., refer to its operating instructions.

Power supply cord

(Included)

NOTE:

• The audio signals of the multi and stereo areas of Super Audio CDs are not HDMI output.

• DVD-Audio discs that are copyright protected by CPPM can only be played on devices that are

mutually compatible with HDMI Ver. 1.1. (The DVD-2930CI is compatible with HDMI Ver. 1.1.)

• Some HDMI compatible devices can be used to control other devices via the HDMI terminal, but the

DVD-2930CI cannot be controlled via the HDMI terminal by other devices.

• The audio signals from the HDMI terminal (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by

the connected device.

• Set the DVD-2930CI’s resolution according to the resolutions with which the connected TV or

monitor are compatible.

• Use a cable including the HDMI logo (HDMI certified product) for connection of the HDMI terminal.

Normal playback may not be possible if a cable that does not include the HDMI logo (non-HDMIcertified product) is used.
