This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

2. Insert two “AA” (R6P) batteries, with each one oriented correctly.

3. Close the cover.

Cautions On Batteries

• Use “AA” (R6P) batteries in this remote control unit.

• Replace the batteries with new ones approximately

once a year, though this depends on the frequency with which the remote control unit is used.

• If the remote control unit does not operate within a close proximity of the main unit, replace the batteries with new ones, even if less than a year has passed.

• The included batteries serve only for verifying operation. Replace them with new batteries as soon as possible.

• When inserting the batteries, be careful to do so in the proper direction, following the and marks

in the remote control unit’s battery compartment.

• To prevent damage or battery fluid leakage:

• Do not mix a new battery with an old one.

• Do not mix two different types of batteries such

as alkaline and manganese.

• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in flames.

• Remove the batteries when not planning to use the remote control unit for a long period of time.

• If the batteries should leak, carefully wipe off the fluid from the inside of the battery compartment, then insert new batteries.

5. COMPONENT VIDEO OUT Jacks

Use these jacks if you have a TV with Component Video in jacks. These jacks provide CR/P with S-Video, Component Video provides the best picture quality.

6. S-VIDEO OUT Jack

Use the S-Video cable to connect this jack to the S-Video jack on your A/V-compatible TV or wide screen TV for a higher quality picture.

7. REMOTE CONTROL IN/OUT Jacks

Connecting the DENON Satellite Remote Control to these jacks enables you to operate more than one DENON components with one remote control.

8. 5.1ch AUDIO OUT Jacks

Use speaker cables to connect these jacks to the 5.1 ch Audio input jacks of your AV amplifier with 5.1-channel input terminals.

When using the DENON Satellite Remote Control,

1. Connect the DENON Satellite Remote Control to the REMOTE CONTROL IN jack of this player. This allows you to operate this player with the Satellite Remote Control.

2. Connect another DENON component to the REMOTE CONTROL OUT jack of this player. This allows you to operate this player and the connected component with the same Satellite Remote Control.

NOTE:

• When there is video output from the HDMI OUT jack, no signal is output from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.

Selecting Progressive Scan (525p/480p or Interlaced 525i/480i) Playback

¡If your TV is compatible with progressive scanning (525p/480p), connect the TV to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks of

the DVD player and set PROGRESSIVE to ON in the display setting. Next, set your TV to the progressive scan mode. Refer to page 25 for instructions on changing the display setting. P.SCAN will appear on the display of the unit.

¡If your TV is not compatible with progressive scanning, set PROGRESSIVE to OFF (refer to page 25).Make sure that P.SCAN

on the display of the unit lights off.

¡Use a commercially available adaptor if the video input jacks of your TV or monitor is the BNC type. ¡Progressive video signal will not be output from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT during the HDMI output mode.

What is Progressive Scanning?

¡Unlike conventional interlace scanning, the progressive scan system provides less flickering and images in higher resolution

than that of traditional (525i/480i) television signals.

CONNECTIONS

The following shows examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player to TV and other components. If using this DVD player to play back a DVD in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround or DTS surround format, the DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT jacks. By hooking up the player to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy more convincing, realistic ambience with powerful and high-quality surrounding sound of a professional standard which can be heard in movie theaters. Use a commercially available audio optical or coaxial digital cable (not included) for the audio connections.

NOTES:

• Be sure to turn off the power of all components in the system before connecting another component.

• Refer to the Instruction Manuals for your TV, stereo system and any other components to be connected to the

DVD player.

HOW TO CONNECT TO A TV WITHOUT AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT JACKS

If your TV does not have RCA type audio and video input jacks it is still possible to connect this DVD player to your TV’s 75-ohm coaxial antenna terminal using an optional Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator, not included. Connect the audio and video outputs of the DVD player to the audio and video inputs on the RF Modulator, and then connect the coaxial output of the RF Modulator (usually marked “TO TV”) to the 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal on your TV. Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details. If your TV’s 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that cable from your TV’s antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator (usually marked “ANT IN”), then connect the RF modulator to your TV’s antenna terminal as described above.

NOTE:

• The picture quality from DVD discs will not be as good if the DVD player is connected to the TV’s antenna terminal through an RF Modulator.

To play back the digital video images of a DVD via an HDMI connection, it is necessary that both the player and the display equipment (or an AV amplifier) support a copyright protection system called HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the connected AV equipment. This player supports HDCP. Please read the operating instructions of your display equipment (or AV amplifier) for more information.

*HDMI: High-Definition Multimedia Interface

NOTES:

• When using an HDMI-incompatible or HDCP-incompatible display equipment, the image will not be viewed properly.

• When the PURE DIRECT button on the front panel is turned on, not only HDMI images but sounds are not output (refer to

page 16).

• Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, this play- er cannot be controlled by another device vice the HDMI connector.

• The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency, the number of channels and bit length) may be limited by the equipment that is connected.

• When playing a Super Audio CD with an HDMI connection, audio cannot be transferred beyond the CD layer. Make an ana- log connection for this.

• Among the monitors that support HDMI, some do not support audio output (for example, projectors). In connections with equipment such as this, audio signals are not output from the HDMI output connector.

• When the set’s HDMI connector is connected to a DVI-D compatible monitor (HDCP compatible) with an HDMI-DVI convert- er cable (commercially available), the signals are output in digital RGB.
