About discs

Playable disc types

Playable and non-playable disc types are as follows:

Playable discs

DVD VIDEO Video CD Audio CD

The DVD VIDEO Logo is a trademark.

• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with the audio CD format can be played back, though some may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording condition.

Knowledge

Preliminary

• DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own Region Code numbers. This unit only can play back DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code numbers include “1”. Examples of playable DVD VIDEO discs:

ALL

This unit accommodates the NTSC television system and can playback discs recorded with the NTSC system. Note that the unit cannot playback discs recorded with the PAL system.

CD-RW

Non-playable discs

DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD AUDIO, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, PHOTO CD, CD-EXTRA, CD-G, CD-TEXT

• Playing back discs listed as “Non-playable discs” above may generate noise and damage speakers.

• This unit can play back audio recorded in CD-G, CD-EXTRA and CD-TEXT discs.

Disc structure

A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of “titles,” while an Audio CD, Video CD is comprised of “tracks.” Each title may be divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO karaoke disc, each song usually has its own title number and does not have chapters. In general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the same title has continuity.

(Example: DVD VIDEO disc)

Title 1 Title 2

Getting started

Connections

*In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with “monitor” or “projector.” *Before using the unit, you have to connect the unit to a TV and/or amplifier. *In the following connection examples, the rear panel drawing of the unit is based on XV-521BK/523GD/525BK. The

XV-421BK rear panel looks different.

Before making any connections

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

• Since different components often have different terminal names, carefully read the instructions supplied with the component you are going to connect.

To connect to a TV

You can enjoy using the unit by simply connecting it to a TV. To improve audio sound quality, connect the audio outputs to your separate audio equipment. (See the following pages.)

* If the TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal,

you can use the AV COMPU LINK function (except XV-421BK). See “AV COMPU LINK remote control system” on page 41 for details.

• If your TV has an S-video input, you should connect it with the S-VIDEO output of the unit using the supplied Svideo cable in addition to the (standard) video connection to get better picture quality.

NOTES

• Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the unit to a TV via a VCR may

cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc.

• Connect the unit to an NTSC television. Do not connect the unit to a PAL television.

To connect to audio equipment with a digital input

You can enhance the sound quality by connecting the unit’s DIGITAL OUT to the digital input of an amplifier, DAT or MD by using an optional digital cable (the XV-521BK/523GD/525BK provides both the optical and coaxial jacks while the XV-421BK only provides the coaxial jack). The digital audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder by using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound. When you make the digital connection, also make the analog connection, because, depending on the disc type, no audio may be reproduced from the DIGITAL OUT.

For XV-521BK/523GD/525BK

When using the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack, remove the protection cap. Do not lose the removed cap. When the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack is not used, fix the protection cap into the jack.

• With the digital connection, the unit’s settings for COMPRESSION and DOWN MIX in the AUDIO page of the preference display

are invalid. Settings for these items must be made from the decoder.

To connect the power cord

NOTES

• With a Video CD disc, if the AUDIO setting is set to L or R, you cannot activate the 3D Phonic function (i.e. the 3D Phonic mode is fixed to OFF).

Conversely, when the 3D Phonic function is active, changing the AUDIO setting to L or R from STEREO cancels the 3D Phonic function.

• The 3D phonic function works correctly when playing back discs recorded in the Dolby Surround or Dolby Digital 5.1-CH format.

It also works when playing back discs other than those above, but does not provide the correct effect.

• The 3D Phonic function does not affect the DTS or Dolby Digital bitstream signal from the DIGITAL OUT jack.

• The sound effect will not be set or operate, even if 3D PHONIC is pressed, for the sound of DVD VIDEO discs recorded in Linear PCM.

• When you set the 3D PHONIC function to on, the DOWN MIX and COMPRESSION settings in the AUDIO page of the preference display are disabled.

Turn on the main power of the television.

Insert a disc into the source component.

Press PLAY of the source component.

The following actions are performed automatically:

• Turning on the power for the receiver.

• Setting the source of the receiver to the component which has started playback.

Care and handling of discs

How to handle discs

When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the player to malfunction.

Label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Additional

information

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.

CAUTION

Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.) These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.
