Introduction

Disc structure

(For DVD VIDEO)

A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of "titles" and each title
may be divided into "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.

Title 2Title 1

Chapter 1

Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2

(For Audio CD/Video CD/SVCD)

An Audio CD, Video CD or SVCD is simply comprised of
"tracks."

What is Playback Control (PBC) function?

The Playback Control function allows you to enjoy menu­driven operation and high-resolution still images which
have a resolution four times greater than moving
pictures.

• High-resolution still image display

You can display high-quality images four times
clearer than moving pictures.

• Menu-driven playback

A selection menu is displayed when you start
playing a Video CD or SVCD disc with the Playback
Control feature. The selection menu shows a list of
numbers for selection. Some discs may show
moving pictures or a divided screen.
You can interact with the screen using the menu

See illustration below about basic feature of menu­driven playback (See page 24 for more information
about PBC (Playback Control)).

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.

Introduction

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!

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

The image may be sometimes poor or noisy due to
defects in the disc itself.

Getting started

About SCANNING MODE

To display video on the television (monitor) screen, the conventional scanning method is called "Interlaced scanning."
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 scanning, resulting in flicker-free, high-density picture.

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 24­frame-per-second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-per-secon
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 to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

To make the Progressive scanning mode selection active

The unit supports the Progressive scanning system as well as the conventional Interlaced scanning system. If your
television or monitor supports the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by making the
Progressive scanning mode active.
If you want to select the scanning mode between the interlaced and progressive modes depending on the source

condition or when connecting more than one television, you can select the mode from the remote control unit. To do
this, set the scan mode selector on the rear panel to "REMOTE" (see page 7).

• When the unit is turned on, and the scan mode selector on the rear panel is set to "REMOTE."

Press and hold down VFP - PROGRESSIVE SCAN for few seconds

The scanning mode switches between the Progressive scanning and Interlaced scanning modes.

• When the scanning mode is set to the progressive mode, the PROGRESIVE indicator on the front panel is lit.
Depending on the "PROGRESSIVE MODE" setting on the "PICTURE" preference display and whether the current DVD
VIDEO disc is film-source or video-source, the color of the indicator differs, as shown in the table below. (see also
page 51).

NOTES

• When using the unit with a stereo amplifier or receiver, set "ANALOG DOWN MIX" in the "AUDIO" preferences to "STEREO"
(see page 53).

• If your stereo amplifier or receiver has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV COMPU LINK function. See "AV
COMPU LINK remote control system" on page 60 for details.

To connect to a digital audio device

You can enhance the playback sound quality by connecting either of the unit’s DIGITAL OUT jacks to the digital input of
an amplifier, etc. by using an optical or a coaxal digital cable (optional). The digital audio signal from a disc will be
transferred directly. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder using
an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.
For a digital connection, connect the unit’s DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to the digital input of a digital audio
device using an optical or a coaxial digital cable.

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, replace the protection cap in the
jack.

The unit resumes playback from the position where playback was interrupted.
If you press 3 then 7, the unit starts playback after the display window shows "RESUME PLAY."
Note that you cannot resume playback if you interrupted playback last time by opening the disc tray.

• To play back a disc from the beginning (instead of the interrupted position)

Do any of the following:
* Press 7 while stopped, then press 3.
* Turn on the unit by pressing DVD STANDBY/ON (on the remote control unit) or STANDBY/ON (on the front

panel) then press

NOTES

• If you use the "OTHERS" preference display to change the "RESUME" setting from "DISC RESUME" to "OFF" or "ON," you
cannot resume playback of a disc whose "resuming" position is stored. However, if you again set "RESUME" to "DISC
RESUME," you will then be able to resume playback of the disc.

• If you open the disc tray while RESUME mode is set to ON, the "resume" point will be cleared.

• The resume function does not work with Audio CD, MP3 and JPEG discs.

• In the case of a Video CD/SVCD disc with PBC function, the unit may resume playback from a point slightly earlier or later than
the point where playback was interrupted.

• The unit may not resume playback exactly from the interrupt point.

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

• When the unit memorizes an interrupt point for a disc, it also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings (regardless of
whether "RESUME" is set to "DISC RESUME" or "ON").

• If you interrupt playback while the menu for a DVD VIDEO, SVCD or Video CD is shown on the TV screen, the unit may not
correctly memorize the interrupt position, regardless of whether the "RESUME" mode is set to "ON" or "DISC RESUME."
