Precautions
1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use
only, recording copyrighted material is illegal without
the permission of the copyright holder.
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not userserviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact the
dealer from whom you purchased this unit.
3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all over
with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth
dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and
water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a clean
cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or
other chemical solvents, because they may damage
the finish or remove the panel lettering.
4. Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION
CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make
sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage
requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel (e.g., AC
230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit
from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug is
readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.
Never disconnect the power cord from a wall outlet
while the player is turned on, unless it is in an
emergency. Doing so may cause malfunction.
Pressing the [On/Standby] button to select Standby
mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If you do not

packaging to pack it how it was when you originally
bought it.
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray,
near the player. Do not leave rubber or plastic items
on this unit for a long time, because they may leave
marks on the case.
This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm after
prolonged use. This is normal.
If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not
work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure

Important notes about HD DVD
HD DVD with high-definition content required for HD
viewing. Viewing high-definition content and up-converting
DVD content may require an HDCP capable DVI or HDMI
input on your 50/60 Hz display device. Up-conversion
of DVD content will result in near HD picture quality.
Firmware update may be required for some interactive
features depending on content, which may also require an
always-on broadband internet connection. Some features
may require additional bandwidth. Some recordable media
may not be supported. Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD
and DTS support for up to 5.1 channels (DTS HD support
for DTS core only). MP3/WMA audio files not supported.
Because HD DVD is a new format that makes use of new
technologies, certain disc, digital connection and other
compatibility and/or performance issues are possible. This
may, in rare cases, include disc freezing while accessing
certain disc features, or functions, or certain parts of the
disc not playing back or operating as fully intended. If you
experience such issues, please contact the dealer from
whom you purchased this unit. Some features subject to
delayed availability. 1080p capable display required for
1080p output resolution. Deep Color feature as specified
in HDMI 1.3a requires compatible Deep Color capable
HD display and/or device. For 24p output, content that
was created in 1080p / 24 frames/sec is required. Viewing
24p output requires an HD display capable of accepting
a 1080p/24Hz signal. While every effort has been made
at the time of publication to ensure the accuracy of the
information provided herein, product specifications,
configurations, system/component/options availability are
all subject to change without notice.
Note
• The firmware in this player can be updated. See
page 39 for
details.
DVD-Video regions
All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on the case
somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the world the
disc is compatible with. Your HD DVD player also has a
region mark, which you can find on the rear panel. Discs
from incompatible regions will not play in this player. In
this case the attention sentence “Incompatible disc
region number Can’t play disc” is displayed on screen.
Discs marked “ALL” will play in any player.
The diagram below shows the various DVD regions of the
world.
About the volume level
The volume level of some commercial HD DVD and DVD
discs may seem lower than that of audio CDs, other
software, etc. If you turn up the volume of the TV or
amplifier to play such discs, be sure to turn it back down
after playback finishes.
Playback restrictions
This owner’s manual explains the basic instructions for
this player. Some HD DVD discs or DVD video discs
are produced in a manner that allows specific or limited
operation during playback. As such, the player may not
respond to all operating commands. This is not a defect in
the player. Please refer to the notes on compatible discs
later in this Introduction and to the discussion of DVD
playback and features later in this manual.
“ ” may appear on the TV screen during operation. “ ”
means that the operation is not permitted by the player or
the disc.
About software
Because of problems and errors that can occur during
the creation of HD DVD, DVD and CD software and/or
the manufacture of HD DVD, DVD and CD discs, Onkyo
cannot assure that this player will successfully play
every disc bearing the HD DVD, DVD or CD logos. If you
happen to experience any difficulty playing an HD DVD,
DVD or CD disc on this player, please contact the dealer
from whom you purchased this unit.
Some differences
The HD DVD player operates more like a computer and
differently than a standard DVD player. In addition to
containing a microprocessor, it contains an operating
system, random access memory (RAM), and an HD DVD
drive. The operating system includes software that is
transferred to the RAM when the machine is turned on
and at other times during operation. This transfer can take
time. Therefore, when you turn the HD DVD player on, it
may take a little while before it is ready to use. Likewise,
other functions may not be performed as quickly as they
would on other AV equipment. Please take these factors
into consideration as you use the HD DVD player.

Notes on web-enabled network content
Certain HD DVD discs may contain or have the capability
of downloading studio-provided, web-enabled network
content. To minimize any potential compatibility and/or
connectivity issues, before viewing such content, it is
recommended that you perform the firmware update
process to ensure that your HD DVD player is using the
latest firmware version. Do not unplug or turn off the HD
DVD player when downloading studio-provided, webenabled network content. Doing so may cause data stored
in the player’s persistent storage to be lost.
HD output jacks

Step 6: Setting up the player
*Why HDMI connection is most recommended?
HD DVD and DVD video disc creators have the option to include copy protection instructions in their discs that prohibit
the output of some standard video or high definition video (original 720p, 1080i or 1080p or up-converted 480i or 480p)
from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks. If such instructions are present in the disc you are playing, you must
use the HDMI OUT jack to view the disc in a high definition format and the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks, if
activated, will output video only in 480i or 480p resolution.
Check the type of video input on your TV. To view high definition content, use the
HDMI OUT jack or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to connect to a TV.
Some discs may require use of the HDMI OUT jack.
Set the MODE switch according to your connection.

Via HDMI input
To view 1080p output, make this connection.
HDMI transfers digital audio and uncompressed digital video
on a single cable. As a result, audio cables and video cables
don’t need to be connected separately to a device.
Note
• This player supports simultaneous output of video on its HDMI and component video ports. However, some discs may restrict output
of video on the component video ports when viewing high definition content or up-converted DVD content. The resolution on the
HDMI output will be the same as the resolution output on the component video output. Thus, because the HDMI output can change
automatically to match the maximum available resolution of your display, if you connect both the HDMI output and component output,
the resolution on the component output will change if the HDMI output auto-adjusts.
Notes
• When the HDMI connection is not verified, an error message
appears on the front panel display. In this case, disconnect the
HDMI cable then connect it again, or turn off the connected HDMI
device then turn it on.
• HDMI output is digital only, DVI analog is not supported.
• HDMI is an evolving technology, so it is possible that some devices
may not operate properly with this player.
• To get the most possible benefit from Dolby Digital Plus, you
should connect your HD DVD player to your AV receiver using its
HDMI input. If your AV receiver has this type of input, make sure it
is connected to your HD DVD player and that the input is set to use
audio from HDMI (and not the SPDIF coaxial or optical input). If
your AV receiver does not have an HDMI input, then the next best
choice is to use the SPDIF (coaxial or optical) input on your AV
receiver.
• If you use the SPDIF (coaxial or optical) output or analog outputs
to connect your audio system and have the “Digital Out HDMI”
( page 22) set to “Auto” or “PCM”, the audio output level from
these jacks will be reduced when listening to a multichannel
disc. To restore the audio output level, set “Digital Out HDMI” to
“Downmixed PCM”.
• Be sure to confirm compatibility of a cable when connecting a
Deep Color compatible display device.
When the output resolution (
page 21) is set to “up to
1080p/24Hz”, Deep Color output is disabled.
Via component video input
• Connect the player directly to your TV. If you connect the player to a VCR, TV/VCR combination, video
selector or AV amplifier, the playback picture may be distorted due to copy protection.
• Be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the wall outlet before making any connections.
This connection only sends video signals. Be sure to make audio
connection on
page 15.
Step 1: Connecting to a TV
Some discs may be down converted or require HDMI connection.
Not compatible with 1080p. To view 1080p output, select HDMI connection.

Sound can output from connected audio system.
If you made the HDMI connection between the player and a TV, this step is unnecessary. Skip to Step 3.
Via HDMI output
You can enjoy the benefits of Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby TrueHD by connecting the HDMI OUT jack of your player to
an AV receiver with an HDMI audio input.
This connection requires selection of “Digital Out HDMI” (Step 16, page 23).
Via digital audio output
You can listen to down-converted Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD as well as Dolby Digital and DTS using a
receiver with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding capabilities and an optical digital input.
This connection requires selection of “Digital Out SPDIF” (Step 16, page 23).
Caution
• When you are connecting (via the HDMI OUT
jack) an AV decoder that does not have Dolby
Digital or DTS decoding capability, be sure to
set “Digital Out HDMI” (
page 23) to “PCM”
or “Downmixed PCM”. Otherwise, high volume
sound may damage your hearing as well as
the speakers.
Note
• You may need to adjust the HDMI audio output
to match the capabilities of your AV amplifier.
In this case, set “Digital Out HDMI” (
page
23) to “PCM”.
