The DV-60 player uses six DACs with high-quality 14-bit 216MHz processing for video output. This type of DAC, the ADV7314, employs new Noise shaping Video (NSV) technology from Analog Devices, Inc. of the USA. NSV technology uses multi-bit delta-sigma conversion, removing video noise and providing low noise and high linearity, without the loss of information that is often associated with analog filtering systems. Noise Shaped Video and NSV are registered trademarks of Analog Devices, Inc.

To eliminate “jaggies” and produce clear natural images, the DV-60 uses DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) technology. The circuits employed are from the Faroudja business devision of Genesis Microchip, and enable hardware based diagonal line detection and smoothing from a pixel based image. As a result, smoother progressive-scan images can be produced, with “jaggie” noise reduced by interpolation techniques.

Changing the Color System (NTSC/PAL)

If you experience picture distortion or are unable to view the monitor image, you may need to change the color setting to match your TV.

1.Turn the unit off.

2.While holding down the PAUSE button of the main unit, press the STANDBY/ON button.

3.While “V Set NTSC” (or “V Set PAL”) is displayed on the front panel display, press the /

button. The display changes to “V Set PAL” (or “V Set NTSC”). Select “V Set PAL” when a PAL TV (European standard) is connected. Select “V Set NTSC” when a NTSC TV (American standard) is connected.

4.Press the STANDBY/ON button to turn the unit off.

Note that you have to turn the unit off before each change.

About MOD.(Modulation) PAL:

Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage.

If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC-PAL conversion.

Type of discs that can be played on this system

This player can playback discs bearing any of the following logos:

Region Number of DVD Video discs:

DVD players and discs are designed with region numbers that dictate the regions in which a disc can be played. If the region number on the disc you want to play does not match the region number of your DVD player, you will not be able to play the disc. In that case, an error message will appear on the screen.

The region number is printed on the rear panel of this unit.

How to remove the disc How to hold the disc

Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side up. (Compact discs can be played or recorded only on one side.)

To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially (from the center hole outward towards the outer edge) with a soft, dry cloth:

Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.

Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”

Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the disc.

Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing mechanisms.

CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.

Printable discs aren’t recommended, as the label side might be sticky and damage the unit.

Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do not use any protective coating spray.

Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.

Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.

Do not use irregular shape doscss (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). Discs of this sort can damage the unit:

If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.

Notes on DVD audio and video CD (PBC playback)

Scanning does not work within menus. If forward scanning reaches the end of a track, the scan stops and playback starts from the beginning of the next track. If it reaches the last track on the disc, playback stops. If backward scanning reaches the start of a track, normal playback starts from the start of that track.

Notes on video CD (non-PBC playback), audio CD and Super Audio CD

Scanning can be carried out across track boundaries. If backward scanning reaches the start of the disc, playback starts from the beginning. If forward scanning reaches the end of the disc, scanning and playback stop.
