5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands

Never handle this unit or its power cord while your
hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets
inside this unit, have it checked by the dealer from
whom you purchased this unit.

6. Installing this Unit

• Install this unit in a well-ventilated location.
Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation all around
this unit, especially if it’s installed in an audio rack. If
the ventilation is inadequate, the unit may overheat,
leading to malfunction.

• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat
sources, because its internal temperature may rise,
shortening the life of the optical pickup.

•Avoid damp and dusty places, and places subject to
vibrations from loudspeakers. Never put the unit on
top of, or directly above a loudspeaker.

• Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its side or
on a sloping surface, because it may cause a malfunc­tion.

• If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
picture and sound quality may be affected. If this
occurs, move this unit away from the TV, radio, or
VCR.

7. Care

Occasionally, you should dust this 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.
Do not use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other
chemical solvents, because they may damage the finish
or remove the panel lettering.

8. Handling Notes

• If you need to transport this unit, use the original
packaging to pack it how it was when you originally
bought it.

• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect sprays, near
this unit. 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.

• When you’ve finished using this unit, remove all discs
and turn off the power.

• 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
to use it occasionally.

9. To Obtain a Clear Picture

This unit is a high-tech, precision device. If the lens on
the optical pickup, or the disc drive mechanism
becomes dirty or worn, the picture quality may be
affected. To maintain the best picture quality, we recom­mend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or
worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use
depending on the operating environment. Contact the
dealer from whom you purchased this unit.

10. Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation may damage this unit.

Read the following carefully:

When you take a glass containing a cold drink outside
on a summer’s day, drops of water, called condensation,
form on the outside of the glass. Similarly, moisture
may condense on the lens of the optical pickup, one of
the most important parts inside this unit.

• Moisture condensation can occur in the following sit­uations:
— The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm

place.

—A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air con-

ditioner is hitting the unit.

— In the summer, when this unit is moved from an

air conditioned room to a hot and humid place.

— The unit is used in a humid place.

• Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility of
moisture condensation occurring. Doing so may dam­age your discs and certain parts inside this unit.
If condensation does occur, remove all discs and
leave this unit turned on for two to three hours. By
this time, the unit will have warmed up and any con­densation will have evaporated. To reduce the risk of
condensation, keep this unit connected to a wall out­let.

ANALOG

INPUT

• This player is equipped with copy protection technol­ogy. Do not connect this player to your TV via a VCR
using AV cables, as the picture from this player will
not appear properly on your TV. (This player may also
not be compatible with some combination TV/VCRs
for the same reason; refer to the manufacturer for more
information.)

• When connecting to your TV as shown above, do not
set the “Component Out” setting (page 45) to “Pro­gressive.”

1. Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT and AUDIO OUT-

PUT ANALOG L/R jacks to a set of A/V inputs
on your TV.

Use the supplied AV cable, connecting the red and
white plugs to the audio outputs and the yellow plug
to the video output. Make sure you match up the left
and right audio outputs with their corresponding
inputs for correct stereo sound.
See the following page if you want to use a compo­nent or S-Video cable for the video connection.

2. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC

INLET, then plug into a power outlet.

To power outlet

Important

• Before unplugging the player from the power outlet,
make sure you first switch it into standby using either
the front panel Standby/On button, or the remote con­troller, and wait of the “GOOD BYE” message to dis­appear from the player’s display.

•For the above reasons, do not plug this player into a
switched power supply found on some amplifiers and
AV receivers.

Connecting Your TV

• Connect the DVD Player to the TV directly. If you
connect the DVD Player to a VCR, TV/VCR combina­tion, or video selector, the playback picture may be
distorted as DVD videos are copy protected.

Using S-Video

If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-Video input,
you can use this instead of the standard (composite) out­put for a better quality picture.

• Use an S-Video cable (supplied) to connect the S­VIDEO OUTPUT to an S-Video input on your TV (or
monitor or AV receiver).

• The DPS-5.5 has two S-Video output connectors.
They output the same video signal.

• Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same
mark on the plug before plugging in.

•To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV,
see “Component Out” on page 45.

Connecting to an AV Receiver

Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound
from the TV speakers with the connections on page 19,
connecting with an amplifier provides you high quality
dynamic sounds.

To reproduce Dolby Digital surround and DTS surround
sound, you need to connect to an amplifier with a Dolby
Digital and DTS decoder respectively.

Using Component Video

You can use the component video output instead of the
standard video out jack to connect this player to your TV
(or other equipment).

This should give you the best quality picture from the
three types of video output available.

• Use a component video cable (not supplied) to con­nect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to a
component video input on your TV, monitor or AV
receiver.

• If your TV or projector has BNC component video
inputs, use a BNC component video cable to connect
them to the DPS-5.5’s BNC component video outputs.

• The DPS-5.5 has two component video outputs. The
COMPONENT 1 output uses RCA/phono connectors.
The COMPONENT 2 output uses BNC connectors.
They output the same video signal.

20

Before connecting

• When you connect the DVD Player to the amplifier, be
sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from
the wall outlet before making any connections. Other­wise, the speakers may be damaged.

• Connect the plugs securely.

To enjoy surround sound you need to connect this player
to an AV receiver using a digital output. This player has
both coaxial and optical digital jacks; use whichever is
convenient.

In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also
connecting using the stereo analog connection.

To record the audio from a CD-R disc etc. to a cassette
or CDR recorder that’s connected to the AV receiver, and
when your AV receiver has Zone2, you must connect the
DPS-5.5’s analog audio outputs to the AV receiver.

You’ll probably also want to connect a video output to
your AV receiver. You can use any of the video outputs
available on this player (the illustration on next page
shows a standard (composite) connection).

Controlling AV Components that are Out of Range

You can use the following multi-room kits to control the
DPS-5.5 when it’s out of range of the remote controller:

• Onkyo Multi-Room System (IR Remote Controller
Extension System)

• Multiroom AV distribution and control systems such
as those made by Niles® and Xantech®.

Controlling Other Out-of-range AV Components

If another AV component is out of range of its remote
controller, you can use a commercially available IR
emitter to retransmit the remote controller signals
received at the DPS-5.5’s IR IN, as shown below.

Controlling the DPS-5.5 When It’s Out of Range

If the DPS-5.5 is located in another room, installed in a
cabinet, or out of range of its remote controller, you can
use a commercially available IR receiver to pickup the
remote controller signals and feed them to the DPS-5.5,
as shown below.

Introduction

Most of the features described in this chapter make use
of on-screen displays. For an explanation of how to nav­igate these, see “Using the on-screen displays” on
page 24.

Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to
DVD discs, Video CDs, CDs and WMA/MP3/JPEG
discs, although the exact operation of some varies
slightly with the kind of disc loaded.

Some DVD discs restrict the use of some functions (ran­dom or repeat, for example). This is not a malfunction.

When playing Video CDs, some of the functions are not
available during PBC playback. If you want to use them,
start the disc playing using a number button to select a
track.

Use the Disc Navigator to browse through the contents
of a disc to find the part you want to play. You can use the

Box)” or “4:3 (Pan & Scan)”. In Letter Box mode, wide­screen software is shown with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off
widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even
though the image looks larger on the screen, you’re actu­ally seeing less of the picture). See also “Screen sizes
and disc formats” on page 50. Pan & Scan only works
with DVD-Video discs that support Pan & Scan.

Some DVD-Video discs feature a Parental Lock level. If
your player is set to a lower level than the disc, the disc
won’t play. This gives you some control about what your
children watch on your DVD player.

Some discs also support the Country code feature. The
player does not play certain scenes on these discs,
depending on the Country code you set.

Before you can set the Parental Lock level or the Country
code you must register a password.

As the password owner, you can change the Parental
Lock level or Country code whenever you like. You can
also change the password.

Notes:

• Not all discs that you may consider inappropriate for
your children use the Parental Lock feature. These
discs will always play without requiring the password
first.

• If you forget your password, you’ll need to reset the
player to its factory settings (see “Resetting the
player” on page 50), then register a new password.

Registering a new password

You must register a password before you can change the
Parental Lock level or enter a Country code.

Press Enter to register the password and

return to the Options menu screen.

If you forget your password, you can reset the
player then register a new one. See “Resetting the
player” on page 50 for how to reset the player.

Screen sizes and disc formats

DVD-Video discs come in several different screen aspect
ratios, ranging from TV programs, which are generally
4:3, to Cinema- Scope widescreen movies, with an
aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.

Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios; “stan­dard” 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting
(page 45) of this player should be set to “16:9 (Wide)”.

When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can
use the TV controls to select how the picture is pre­sented. Your TV may offer various zoom and stretch
options; see the instructions that came with your TV for
details.

Please note that some movie aspect ratios are wider than
16:9, so even though you have a widescreen TV, these
discs will still play in a “letter box” style with black bars
at the top and bottom of the screen.

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the “TV Screen” setting
(page 45) of this player should be set to “4:3 (Letter
Box)” or “4:3 (Pan&Scan)”, depending on which you
prefer.

Set to “4:3 (Letter Box)”, widescreen discs are shown
with black bars top and bottom.

Resetting the player

Use this procedure to reset all the player’s settings to the
factory default.

Switch the player into standby.

Using the front panel buttons, hold
down the Stop ( ) button and
press

Standby/On to switch the

player back on.

Setting the TV system

(Australian model)

The default setting of this player is “AUTO”, and unless
you notice that the picture is distorted when playing
some discs, you should leave it set to “AUTO”. If you
experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV
system to match your country or region’s system. Doing
this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can
watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are
compatible with each setting (“AUTO” , “PAL” and
“NTSC”).

Set to “4:3 (Pan&Scan)”, widescreen discs are shown
with the left and right sides cropped.

Although the picture looks larger, you don’t actually see
the whole picture.

Please note that many widescreen discs override the
player’s settings so that the disc is shown in letter box
format regardless of the setting.

Note:

• Using the “16:9 (Wide)” setting with a standard 4:3
TV, or either of the “4:3” settings with a widescreen
TV, will result in a distorted picture.

Glossary

Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Com­pare this to digital audio which can be an electrical sig­nal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also
“Digital audio”.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conven­tional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost
square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is
almost twice as wide as it is high).

Digital audio

An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During
recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals
(44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to­digital converter, generating a stream of numbers.

On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an
analog signal based on these numbers. See also “Sam­pling frequency” and “Analog audio”.

Dolby Digital

Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio,
this high quality surround system is used in many of the
finer movie theaters around the world.

The on-screen display shows which channels are active,
for example showing 3/2.1. The 3 being the two front
channels and the center channel; the 2 being the surround
channels, and the .1 being the LFE channel.

DRM

DRM (digital rights management) is a type of server
software developed to enable secure distribution of paid
content over the web, recently incorporated by WMA
(Windows Media Audio ).

DTS

DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is
a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has
become a popular surround sound format for movies.

Dynamic range

The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds
possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting
lost in noise).

Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a very
wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like
effects.

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File)

A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for digital
still cameras. Digital cameras from various manuafctur­ers use this compressed file format which carries date,
time and thumbnail information, as well as the picture
data.

File extension

A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type
of file. For example, “.mp3” indicates an MP3 file.

ISO 9660 format

International standard for the volume and file structure
of CD-ROM discs.

JPEG

A file format used for still images, such as photographs
and illustrations. JPEG files are identified by the file
extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”. Most digital cameras use this
format.

MP3

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file
format. Files are recognized by their file extension
“.mp3” or “.MP3”.

MPEG audio

An audio format used on Video CDs and some DVD
discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio to PCM format
for wider compatibility with digital recorders and AV
amplifiers. See also “PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)”.

MPEG video

The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. Video
CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses
the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard.

PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)

A system of navigating a Video CD through on-screen
menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs
that you would normally not watch from beginning to
end all at once—karaoke discs, for example.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

The most common system of encoding digital audio,
found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a
lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital
and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio
recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with
digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS
and MPEG audio to PCM. See also “Digital audio”.

Regions (DVD-Video only)

These associate discs and players with particular areas of
the world. This unit will only play discs that have com­patible region codes. You can find the region code of
your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are
compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

Sampling frequency

The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into
digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the
sound quality, but the more digital information is gener­ated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of

44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements)
per second. See also “Digital audio”.

WMA

WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and refers to
an audio compression technology developed by
Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by
using Windows Media Player version 8 or Windows
Media Player for Windows XP.
