Introduction
Features
This unit is a compatible player for DVD Audio, DVD
Video, Audio CD and Video CD.
Audio features
7 Supports audio formats for DVD Audio including high
sampling frequencies up to 192 kHz, the linear PCM
multichannel format, up to 24-bit resolution and MLP,
as well as the audio formats for DVD Video such as
Dolby Digital 5.1 ch. and DTS.
• DOLBY DIGITAL
Introduction
A surround audio format configured with six channels.
Because the “sub-woofer” channel, one of the six channels,
is an auxiliary channel, this format is called “5.1-channel
system.”
• DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
A surround audio format configured with six (5.1) channels
which is same as Dolby Digital. Because the compression
ratio is lower than Dolby Digital, it provides wider dynamic
range and better separation.
• MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing)
A format for DVD Audio with the compression ratio of about
2:1 while allowing the PCM signal to be completely recreated
by the MLP decoder (required in all DVD-Audio players). It
supports up to 192kHz/24-bit.
• Linear PCM
Uncompressed digital audio, the same format used on CDs
and most studio masters.
DVD Audio supports up to 6 channels at sample rates of 48/
96/192 kHz (also 44.1/88.2/176.4 kHz) and sample sizes of
16/20/24 bits, while DVD Video supports 2 channels at
sample rates of 48/96 kHz and sample sizes of 16/20/24 bits.
Audio CD/Video CD is limited to 2 channels, 44.1 kHz at 16
bits.

before recording from discs. Recording of
copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws.
Note about the copyguard system
• The DVD Video disc is protected by the copyguard
system. When you connect the unit to your VCR
directly, the copyguard system activates and the
picture may not be played back correctly.
Safety precautions
Avoid moisture, water and dust
Do not place your player in moist or dusty places.
Avoid high temperatures

DVD/Video CD/CD PLAYER
A television monitor screen may be burned out if a static picture is displayed
for a long time. To prevent this, the unit automatically activates the screen
saver function if a static picture, such as an on-screen display or menu, is
displayed for over several minutes.
• Pressing any button on the unit or the remote control unit will release the
screen saver function and return to the previous display.
• You can select one of several screen saver modes available (see page 43).
During DVD playback, you may see icons displayed over the picture. These
have the following meanings.
: Displayed at the beginning of a scene recorded from multiple angles. (See
page 32.)
How to use numeric buttons
: Displayed at the beginning of a scene recorded with multiple audio

knowledge
Preliminary
• Playing back discs listed as “Non-playable discs” in the table 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” and 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.
A DVD Audio disc is comprised of “groups”, and each group is comprised of “tracks.” Some DVD Audio discs also
contain a “bonus group” that can be played back by entering the “key number” (a kind of password). Usually the
contents of a “bonus group” are not opened to the public. Note that most DVD Audio discs include other information
in addition to audio, such as still pictures, movies and text. An Audio CD or Video CD is simply comprised of
“tracks.”

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.
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 normal 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.)

Connect the unit to a TV equipped with stereo audio input and video input jacks using the supplied audio/video
cables.
• If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts
stereo audio output to monaural.
• 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
• When connecting to a TV using the VIDEO jack, set the SCAN MODE selector to “525i”. Otherwise, you cannot get any picture.
• When making the audio connection using the FRONT (LEFT and RIGHT) jacks, set “DOWN MIX” in “PREFERENCE 2” to “Lo/
Ro” and the Speaker setting in “SPK. SETTING” to “2 CHANNEL”. See pages 42 and 44.
• 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.

Set the SCAN MODE selector correctly according to your TV system.
If your TV or projector provides the “525p” (or “480p”) video inputs, connect the unit's COMPONENT outputs to them
and set the SCAN MODE selector to “525p”. Also make sure that the TV/projector is set to the progressive mode when
enjoying playback of the unit.
If you have a conventional TV or projector, set the SCAN MODE selector of the unit to “525i”. If the SCAN MODE
selector is set to “525p”, no signal will be output from the VIDEO and S-VIDEO jacks.
• Connect “Y” to “Y,” “P
B” to ”PB,” “PR” to “PR” correctly.
NOTES
• When the component video input jacks of the TV is of the BNC type, use an adapter to convert a pin jack to a BNC jack
(optional).
• Make the “DOWN MIX” setting in “PREFERENCE 2” to “Lo/Ro” and the Speaker setting in “SPK. SETTING” to “2 CHANNEL”
(see pages 42 and 44).
• If you do not connect the unit with the S-video cable, some functions of your TV may not work.
About SCAN MODE
To display video on the monitor (television) screen, the conventional scanning method is called “Interlaced
scan”. With this method, only half of the horizontal lines are displayed at a time. So two fields complete a
single picture (frame); i.e., the first field, containing all the odd-numbered lines, is displayed followed by the
second field, containing all the even-numbered lines.
On the other hand, the Progressive scan system scans all horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the
number of pictures compared with the interlaced scan, resulting flicker-free, high-density picture.
To enjoy the progressive scanned video, a monitor (or TV or projector) to be connected to the unit must have
the Progressive inputs.
Depending on the material source 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). Film sources are
recorded as 24-frame-per-second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-persecond (60-field-per-second interlaced) information.
When the unit plays back a film source material, uninterlaced progressive output 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 field to create the pseudo uninterlaced picture and outputs as the progressive signal.
