AV component with multi channel discrete audio input jacks.
Notes
•The audio of DVD-Audio that have been recorded in multi channel audio is
output from the 5.1channel ANALOG OUTPUT jacks regardless of the Audio
Out Select setting. In order to enjoy the audio of DVD-Audio, it is necessary to
make connections to the 5.1channel ANALOG OUTPUT jacks. Additionally,
please note that there is no audio output from the DIGITAL OUTPUT jacks.
•When a DVD-Video has been recorded in multi channel audio, the audio is
downmixed to a 2-channel stereo mix and output from the ANALOG OUTPUT
jacks (CH1, CH2, or FRONT).
•To ensure proper delivery of sound, be sure to match the names of the jacks
on the DVD Player and the component being connected to.

Making MULTI CHANNEL OUTPUT connection
The MULTI CHANNEL OUTPUT is a DB-25 port that can output up to 5.1
channels of decoded analog audio from DVD-Audio sources to a
receiver or other AV component that features a similar input port.
Ideally you want to connect two identical ports together via a single
DB-25 cable.
Notes
•The audio of DVD-Audio that have been recorded in multi channel audio is
output from the 5.1-channel ANALOG OUTPUT jacks regardless of the Audio
Out Select setting. Additionally, there is no audio output from the DIGITAL
OUTPUT jacks.
•When a DVD-Video has been recorded in multi channel audio, the audio is
downmixed to a 2-channel stereo mix and output from the ANALOG OUTPUT
jacks (CH1, CH2, or FRONT).
•When connecting the cable, be sure to secure the locking screws on the DB-25
connectors.
•The output from this port is the same as from the 6-channel ANALOG OUTPUT
jacks.

Digital connections
Make digital connections from the DVD Player to an AV
component that features digital input capability or one
or more multi-channel audio decoders to realize the full
cinematic experience made possible by the DVD format.
This DVD Player features two sets of optical and coaxial
digital audio output jacks and can output Dolby Digital,
DTS, and MPEG2* bitstreams as well as outputting
standard PCM.
Make connections from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL
CH1 or CH2 jacks to the digital optical input jack on the
AV component using an optical fiber cable (sold
separately). Make connections from the DIGITAL OUTPUT
COAXIAL CH1 or CH2 jacks to the digital coaxial input
jack on the AV component using a coaxial cable (sold
separately). It is not necessary to make more than one
type of digital connection to a single component.
When you are making connections to an amp or
receiver that has internal Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG*
decoding capabilities, set Audio Out Select to
“Bitstream” using the on-screen menu explained in
“Customizing the Function Settings” starting on page 46.
See page 48 for direct information.

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

•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.

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.

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.

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.
