The DVD Player contains a high quality D/A converter which is used when processing the digital audio signal recorded on DVD media. The DVD Player can also function exclusively as a D/A converter. This feature lets you enjoy high quality processing of digital audio signals from other components in your entertainment system.

Making connections from other components

Before Connecting

•Refer to the instruction manuals supplied with any and all components that you plan to connect the DVD Player to.

•Be sure to turn off the power to all components to be connected and unplug them from the wall outlet before making any connections.

•Make sure that analog audio connections are made from the CH1 or CH2 ANALOG OUTPUT jacks on the DVD Player to an amplifier or receiver as described on pages 12 and 13.

Making digital connections

The DVD Player features an optical and a coaxial digital input jack. The input is selected according to the position of the Source input selector on the front panel, making it possible to make connections to two different components. The input is selected according to the position of the Source input selector on the front panel, making it possible to make connections to a CS tuner, CD player, DAT recorder, or other devices that output linear PCM audio signals with sampling rates of 32/44.1/48 kHz. Make connections from the DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL jack (DIGITAL 1) on the DVD Player to the digital optical output on an audio component using an optical fiber cable (sold separately). Make connections from the DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL jack (DIGITAL 2) on the DVD Player to the digital coaxial output on an audio component using a coaxial cable (sold separately).

Selecting the audio from connected components

Set the Source input selector to the External Input position (Optical or Coaxial) that corresponds to the connections made to the desired component. If the component is connected to the DIGITAL INPUT OPTICAL jack (DIGITAL 1), set to Optical. If the component is connected to the DIGITAL INPUT COAXIAL jack (DIGITAL 2), set to Coaxial. Set the Source input selector to DVD to use the DVD Player for disc playback, etc.

Notes

•When the Source input selector is set to either Optical or

Coaxial, only Standby/On on the front panel of the DVD Player (or ON/STNBY on the remote controller) and DIMMER on the remote controller can be used. All functions of the DVD Player related to disc playback are disabled. The audio sampling rate indicator on the front panel does not light. The remote control confirmation beep does not sound.

•When the position of the Source input selector is changed, there may be a moment of silence before sound is produced. This is not a malfunction.

•If a Dolby Digital or DTS digital signal is input during playback of the selected source component, the signal can be subsequently output without processing to an amp or other component with decoding capabilities. When this is the case, the sampling rate of the digital signal is not displayed.

•The DVD Player does not feature the ability to decode Dolby Digital or DTS digital audio signals input from externally connected components, and therefore no audio will not be output from the discreet 5.1-channel ANALOG OUTPUT.

•When a linear PCM audio signal is input from a connected component, the sampling rate is displayed.

•Please note that if the digital audio signal of a DTS CD or DTS LD is input from a connected component, a loud noise will be output from the ANALOG OUTPUT jacks.

When the DVD Player is in standby mode, set the Source input selector to the position corresponding to the desired input.

As its name suggests, progressive scan delivers the video image sequentially across the horizontal lines of the TV or monitor rather than the alternating odd and even delivery of an interlace scan. The result is a picture quality that best reflects the quality digital video recorded on the DVD.

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-439DV remote controller one at a time. Each command is then programmed to one of the available buttons on the RC439DV 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.

SEND/LEARN indicator

While pressing and holding down the desired MODE button (DVD or RECVR) 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. Refer to the shaded areas in the illustrations below to determine what buttons can be programmed in each mode. If you press the wrong button by mistake, press that 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.

RDV-1 US/Asia 29342995

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 (DVD or RECVR) 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 Research 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.

•After programming another function to the ZOOM ON button or ZOOM +/– buttons, it is no longer possible to perform the Zoom function. To use the Zoom function again, it is necessary to erase the commands programmed to those buttons. For details, see page 60.

•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.

Erasing the programmed command from one button

You can only erase memorized commands and not preset ones.

Erasing all the commands programmed under a MODE button

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 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.

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 lamp flashes twice. The memorized command is erased.

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.

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.
