Preparations

Connections

Before using the player, connect the player to a TV and/or amplifier.

Connecting to a TV

The following sections A to D describe TV connections where only a TV is connected to the player so that you will hear audio from the TV.

A Connecting to a TV with the SCART connector

You can enjoy using the player by simply connecting it to your television set with a 21-pin SCART cable.

Before making connections

• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.

• Connect VIDEO OUT of the player directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the player to a TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc. You may also have a monitor problem when connecting the player to an integrated TV/ Video system.

• In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with

“monitor” or “projector.”

• Terminal names used for other components may be different

from those used in the following description.

NOTE

When you connect a SCART cable, do not connect any other cables to other video signal output jacks (VIDEO/S-VIDEO/ COMPONENT VIDEO OUT). If you do so, you will not be able to obtain correct signals from the SCART connector of the player.

NOTES

• Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly.

• Do not connect cables to S-VIDEO jack and SCART connector. If you do so, you will not be able to obtain correct signals from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.

• If your TV has component video input jacks of BNC type, use an adapter which converts a pin jack to a BNC jack (not supplied).

Progressive scan video playback available

In the Progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the progressive video input.

Hint

Depending on the source material format, DVD VIDEO discs can be classified into two types; film source and video source (note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source). When the player plays back a film source material, Progressive (uninterlaced) signals are created using the original information. When a video source material is played back, the unit interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Connecting to a digital audio device

You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the player’s DIGITAL OUT (either OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack to a digital input of an amplifier, etc., using an optical or coaxial digital cable. The digital audio signal on a disc will be transferred directly from the player. If the connected digital audio equipment is a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.

NOTES

• Connect the player and the digital audio device by using either an optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable.

• It is not recommended to use the digital jacks for dubbing. When recording the sounds (DVD VIDEO, SVCD, Video CD or Audio CD) played back on the player, record them through the analog jacks.

• Depending on the disc, no signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT. Make an analog connection in this case.

• Set [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] in the [AUDIO] preference display correctly according to the connected digital audio equipment. If setting made for [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] is incorrect, loud noise may be generated causing damage to the speakers (see page 28).

Restarting playback after stopping (resuming playback)

Changing the resume mode

The player has three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC RESUME.

• You can select the mode using the preference display (see page 28).

When the resume mode is “OFF”

Playback always starts from the beginning.

When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME”

The player memorizes interrupted positions for the last 30 discs played. Storing a new interrupted position will erase the interrupted position stored for the first disc. The memory of the interrupted positions are not cleared even if you open the disc tray or turn off the player.

NOTES

• If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to [OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose “resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set [RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume playback of the disc.

• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted position has already been stored, the memory will be updated with the new interrupted position.

• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the player regards each side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.

• When the player memorizes an iterrupted point for a disc, it also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.

• The player may not resume playback exactly from the interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with PBC function, the player may resume playback from a point slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was interrupted.

The player resumes playback from the position you interrupted playback, as long as the disc you interrupted playback is still on the disc tray. This is because the player’s resume mode is set to ON when you purchased the player. When the resume mode is set to ON, the player memorizes the position on a disc where you interrupted playback.

• When you press 7 to interrupt playback, the TV screen shows

[RESUME STOP] and the [RESUME] indicator lights up in the display window.

• When you re-start playback, the TV screen shows [RESUME PLAY].

Hint

The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared even if you turn off the player.

To play back from the beginning

Press 7 while the disc is stopped. The memory is cleared. Then press 3 (SELECT).

NOTES

• The player remembers the interrupted position even if you turn the power off.

• The memory is cleared if you open the disc tray.

About screen saver function

A television monitor may have an image burned into it if a static image is displayed for a long time. To prevent this, the player automatically activates the screen saver function if a static picture, such as an on-screen display or menu, is displayed while no button is pressed for over 5 minutes. When the screen saver function is activated, the TV screen gets darker. Pressing any buttons will release the screen saver function. You can set the screen saver function to ON or OFF (see page

Operations

The player can play back MP3 files and WMA files on a home recorded CD-R/RW disc or commercially available CD. We refer to a disc that contains MP3 and/or WMA files as an “MP3/WMA disc” in this manual. Note that if a disc contains both of MP3/WMA files and JPEG files, you can only play back files of the type selected by the [MP3&WMA/JPEG] setting in the [PICTURE] preference display (see page 28).

About MP3/WMA discs

On an MP3/WMA disc, each song is recorded as a file (track). Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.

• Each file is regarded as a track.

• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.

• A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.

• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group

1.”

• The player recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99 groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3/WMA files, they also count in the 150-file total.

Max. 99 groups per disc

Appendix D: Glossary

Aspect ratio

A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV. It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.

Bitstream

The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Chapter/title

Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track for Video CD or Audio CD.

Component video

Video signals with three channels of separate information that makes up the picture. There are some types of component video, such as R/G/B and Y/C

Composite video

A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization information.

Dolby Digital (AC3)

A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the original four channels for playback. Because the audio is recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a two-channel stereo system. Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is enhanced channel separation.

Down-mix

Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output connectors.

DTS

A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six (5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder, either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dynamic range

The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.

B(PB)/CR(PR).

Interlaced scanning

In a conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display monitor in between lines of two halves. The Interlaced scanning system places lines of the second half of the picture in-between lines of the first half of the picture.

JPEG

A popular file format for still image compression and storage. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.

• baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.

• progressive JPEG: used for the web

• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now

Linear PCM audio

PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the usual method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.

MP3

MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data reduction of about 1:10.

MPEG Multichannel

This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1 channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie theater experience in your own home.

NTSC (National television system committee)

A black and white and color television system format used in the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.

PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)

A color television system format used extensively in Western Europe.

PBC

PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the disc through menus.

Progressive scanning

Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a single frame. A progressive scanning DVD player converts the interlaced video from DVD into progressive format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.

RGB

An abbreviation for Red, Green and Blue. Color monitors and color television sets display different hues by mixing these three colors.

S-video

A video signal which improves picture quality over standard composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV monitors, etc.

Track

The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.

WMA

WMA is an abbreviation of “Windows Media Audio,” and is an audio data compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. Sound quality of data compressed using WMA is the same as that of MP3, though the WMA file size is smaller than that of MP3.
