• Place the unit in a well-ventilated location. Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of the unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is blocked, the unit may overheat and malfunction.

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or heating units as the unit’s internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of the pickup.

• Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit on or above one of the speakers.

• Be sure the unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction.

• When you place the unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

7. Care

From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.

9. To Obtain a Clear Picture

The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

10. Notes on Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please read the following carefully.

• What is moisture condensation?

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside the unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.

• Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.

– When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a

warm place.

– When you use the unit in a room where you just turned on

the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

– In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid place

just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.

– When you use the unit in a humid place.

• Do not use the unit when moisture condensation may occur.

If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the unit will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

Operating Components not Reached by the Remote Controller Signals (IR IN/OUT)

In order to use the remote controller to control the DPS-8.3 from a remote location, you will need to prepare a multi-room kit (sold separately such as one of those given below:

• Integra’s Multi-Room System kit (IR Remote Controller Extension System).

• Multiroom A/V distribution and control system such as those from Niles® and Xantech®.

If the remote controller signal does not reach the DPS-8.3 remote sensor

If the DPS-8.3 is located inside a cabinet or other enclosure where the infrared rays from the remote controller cannot enter, then operation with the remote controller will not be possible. In such a case, it will be necessary to install a remote sensor at a location outside of the cabinet for the infrared rays from the controller to reach.

Press Power to switch on the main power.

The DVD Player enters standby mode. The STANDBY indicator lights up.

• The buttons on the remote controller do not operate if the Power switch is set to Off.

• To switch off the main power, press Power again.

Press Standby/On on the DVD Player or On on the remote controller.

The DVD Player turns on and the Standby indicator turns off.

• To put the DVD Player in the standby mode, press Standby/On on the DVD Player, or Standby on the remote controller. Be sure to set the volume to minimum before putting the DVD Player in the standby mode for the next use to avoid sudden loud sound reproduction.

• While the Standby indicator lights up, the DVD Player can receive signals from the remote controller. However, if you press Power on the DVD Player to switch off the main power, the remote controller cannot be used to turn on the DVD Player.

• Setting the Standby button to standby does not shut off the power completely.

■ Setting the TV System (Australian model only)

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).

The TV system changes as follows: AUTO = NTSC NTSC = PAL PAL = AUTO Note that you have to switch the player into standby before each change.

About MOD. (Modulation) PAL

• SHRINK 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 5.1-channel digital surround format of DOLBY DIGITAL/ DTS/MPEG2 enables you to individually play five full-range (20 Hz-20 kHz) channels (left and right front, center, two surround channels) plus an LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel for the low-range effect sound. It will create a realistic sound as heard in theaters and concert halls.

DVD Video and CD that have the mark are recorded using this system.

MPEG2

DVD Video that have the mark are recorded using this system. MPEG2 may have 8 channels. In this case, left and right center speakers in addition to the above speaker configuration are used.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC Surround

This surround format consists of 4 channels (left and right front, center, and monaural surround channel) and emphasizes the center channel. This format is very effective for panning music, conversation, and three-dimensional sound movement output from three front channels. It also simulates the atmosphere and surround effects of the sound reflected from the side and rear walls of the theater.

You may want to make this setting if you connected this player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs. Under the default setting, all channels are output at the relative volumes they were recorded at. Change the setting to [Variable] if you want to adjust the relative volume levels of any of the speakers. Adjustment is in the range of –6dB to +6dB, in steps of 0.5dB. When set to [Variable], the overall output level may sound quieter than when set to [Fix]. This is not a malfunction.

Setting the TV Screen Size

The width-to-height ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while the width-to-height ratio of wide screen and high-definition TVs is 16:9. This width-to-height ratio is called the aspect ratio. When viewing software recorded in different aspect ratios, the image’s height to width ratio can be switched to match the TV or monitor being used. Make changes to the TV screen size in the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video 1 menu. Please note that changes to the [TV Screen] setting cannot be made when a disc is playing. Stop playback of the disc before attempting to make any changes.

■ Differences in screen sizes and DVD formats

The number of screen size formats currently available can be somewhat confusing. If set incorrectly, the video presentation may not appear as it should. The following diagrams and descriptions are intended to help you set your TV screen size in a way that will allow you to fully enjoy the digital video of DVD. The settings in the [TV Screen] setting are perhaps most applicable when the DVD you are watching is programmed in the wide screen format. If you have a standard TV, select either [4:3 (Letter Box)] or [4:3 (Pan & Scan)] based on your personal preference. If you have a wide screen TV, select [16:9 (Wide)].

Programming the Commands

of Other Remote Control Units into the Remote Controller

This remote controller features a learning function that allows you to program the remote codes of other remote control units for more singular control of your home entertainment system. A number of commands can be programmed for operation for when the remote controller is in DVD mode and when it is in Receiver mode. Please follow the procedure in this section to program your remote controller to your preferences.

Programming procedure

The first step in the procedure is to determine whether the new command is to be learned in the DVD mode or in the Receiver mode. Generally speaking, this should be decided by the command being learned. After deciding which mode is to be used, you will then transfer the individual commands from the other remote control unit to the RC-499DV remote controller one at a time. Each command is then programmed to one of the available buttons on the RC-499DV remote controller. Even after the commands have been programmed, keep the other remote control unit in a safe place in the case that the programmed commands should be lost (e.g., when the batteries run down). If the commands are lost, it will then be necessary to program them again.

Place the remote controller and the other remote control unit of the other component facing each other at a distance of 5 to 15 cm apart.

5 to 15 cm

RC-499DV

Send/Learn

While pressing and holding down the desired Mode button (VCR or TV) on the remote controller, press Search and then release both buttons.

When you press and hold down the desired Mode button, the Send/Learn indicator lights up. When you press Search, the indicator turns off. When you release both buttons, the indicator lights up again.

Press and release the button on the remote controller to which you want to transfer the new command.

The buttons that can be selected in this step depend on the mode (other than Mode (DVD, RCVR, TV, VCR)).

If you press the wrong button by mistake, press the same button again. The Send/ Learn indicator flashes three times and the remote controller exits the programming mode. When this is the case, start again at step 1.

Programming the Commands of Other Remote Control Units into the Remote Controller

Programming procedure

Press and hold down the button on the other remote control unit that corresponds to the command you want to program until the Send/ Learn indicator flashes twice to indicate that the command has been successfully programmed.

After flashing twice, the Send/Learn indicator lights up again.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program other commands within the same mode. Repeat step 2 to 4 to program commands to the other mode.

Press the Mode button (VCR or TV) that you pressed in step 2 to complete the programming.

Use the remote controller to perform the newly learned command to confirm that it was learned correctly.

Notes

• Some buttons have already been programmed to control functions of an Integra/Onkyo receiver. Therefore, it is recommended to program additional functions of the receiver that are not already programmed in the remote controller.

• If no buttons are pressed for more than 30 seconds during the programming, or if you perform an invalid operation, the Send/Learn indicator flashes three times quickly and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume programming from step 2.

• If you perform an invalid operation during programming, the Send/Learn indicator flashes three times quickly and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 2.

• When you want to program a command to a button to which you have already programmed a command, simply follow the same procedure and programming for that button will be overwritten.

• The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands, as do most other remote control units. Though most remote control units can be memorized by the remote controller, be aware that some remote control units use a system that is quite different from the remote controller and therefore may not be able to be programmed.

• Some remote control units have a single button that performs multiple functions (for example, the function may change each time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function must be programmed to a separate button on the remote controller.

• Once you have programmed the commands from the other remote control unit, refer to the instructions supplied with the other component to operate.

• Make sure that both the remote controller and the other remote control unit have new batteries. If either of them has batteries that are low, you may not be able to program the commands of the other remote control unit properly into the remote controller.

• Removing the batteries from the remote controller for at least 10 minutes erases all of the commands that have been programmed in the remote controller.

You can only erase memorized commands and not preset ones.

Press and hold down the desired Mode button for the command, press the Search button, and then release both buttons.

When you release the buttons, the Send/Learn indicator lights.

Note

If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the programming, the Send/Learn indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 1.

Press and release the button for the command you wish to erase.

When you press the button, the Send/ Learn indicator turns off. When you release the button, the lamp lights again.

Press and release the same button again.

The Send/Learn indicator flashes twice. The memorized command is erased.

Erasing all the commands programmed under a Mode button

Press and hold down the desired Mode button, press the Search button twice, and then release both buttons.

When you release the buttons, the Send/Learn indicator flashes twice slowly and then lights again.

Press and release the same Mode button again.

When you release the button, the Send/ Learn indicator flashes twice slowly. This erases all the commands memorized to the Mode button.

Notes

• If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds, the Send/Learn indicator flashes three times quickly and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume Step 1.

• If you perform an invalid operation during programming, the Send/Learn indicator flashes three times quickly and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 1.

• If many commands have been programmed to the Mode button, then the Send/Learn indicator may remain lit for some time during Step 2. This is not a malfunction.

Use this feature to register the remote codes of other remote control units. Please look up your TV/VCR from list of remote control codes starting on page 69.

While pressing and holding down

the desired Mode button (VCR or TV) on the remote controller press +10 and then release both buttons.

When you press and hold down the desired Mode button, the Send/Learn indicator lights up. When you press the Display button, the indicator turns off.

When the Send/Learn indicator turns off, release the buttons and the indicator lights up again.

Use the number buttons on the remote controller to input the TV/VCR three digit remote control code.

The Send/Learn indicator flashes twice slowly to indicate that the command has been successfully programmed.

If you perform an invalid operation, the Send/Learn indicator flashes three times quickly. Follow the same procedure again.
