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.

The UZ-1 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 UZ-1 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.

How to remove the disc |
How to hold the disc |
<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 CD-R and CD-RW 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 CDs (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit:
<If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD- R/CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.

F i.LINK (AUDIO) terminal
In addition to the digital audio from DVD-Video, CD and video CD, the digital surround audio from Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio discs can be output from this terminal.
Use a commercially available S400 compatible i.LINK (IEEE1394) 6pin cable to connect the unit to an amplifier.
<When using this terminal, set the i.LINK output setting to “60958” or “PCM” (see page 26), and the Digital Output setting to “ON” (see page 29).
<See page 40 for further details on i.LINK.
G Digital audio output terminals
Digital audio from DVD-Video, DVD-Audio (2ch only),CD and video CD is output from these terminals.
The unit may be connected using either coaxial or optical (TOS) commercially available cables to amplifiers including a decoder, or to digital audio devices such as CD recorders, etc.
COAXIAL: Use RCA (pin) digital audio cable
OPTICAL: Use optical digital audio cable (TOS)
<The optical terminal is covered by a shutter. Make sure that the cable is firmly inserted, but do not force the cable when connecting it or removing it, in order not to cause damage to the unit.
<When using these terminals, set the Digital Output setting to “ON” (see page 29).
<This terminal cannot output the digital audio from a Super Audio CD.
<This terminal cannot output the digital surround audio from a DVD-Audio disc.
<DVD Audio disc signals are converted where necessary from 192kHz or 176.4kHz to 96kHz/88.2kHz or 48kHz/44.1kHz. However, there may be some occasions when digital audio cannot be output by the unit from such a disc.
H Analog audio output terminals
Connect these terminals to a stereo amplifier using a commercially available RCA (pin) audio cable.
<When using these terminals, set “Analog Output” to “2 ch” to downmix the multi-channel material to two channels. Note that if “Analog Output” is set to “Multi ch”, only the front L/R sound of the multi-channel material will be output from these terminals.
I Word sync connector
This allows the use of an externally-generated word clock connection, using a commercially available BNC coaxial cable.
Devices producing such a suitable clock signal include external D-A converters or dedicated word clock generators. Connect the SYNC OUT (or WORD OUT) of such a device to the unit.
J SIGNAL GND connection
Use a commercially available PVC-covered cord to connect the signal ground terminal on the unit to the amplifier signal ground.
< Note that this is NOT an electrical safety ground (earth).
K Power cord receptacle
After all other connections have been made, insert the supplied AC power cord into this receptacle, then connect the other end of the power cord into the wall socket. Ensure that your AC voltage corresponds to the voltage marked on the rear panel of the unit. Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt.
<In order to avoid the risk of electric shock, fire, and so on, only use the supplied power cord.
<If you are not going to use the unit for some time, disconnect the power cord from the wall socket.
