• DVD-R discs recorded with the DVD VIDEO format can be played back, though some may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording condition. Note that unfinalized disc cannot be played back.

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

ALL

This unit accommodates the NTSC system, also can play back discs recorded with PAL system whose Region Code numbers include "1". Note that the PAL video signal on disc is converted to an NTSC signal and output.

Audio formats

There are some audio formats recorded on discs as shown below.

•Linear PCM

Uncompressed digital audio, the same format used on CDs and most studio masters. DVD VIDEO supports 2 channels at sampling rates of 48/96 kHz and quantization of 16/20/24 bits. Audio CD/Video CD is limited to 2 channels, 44.1 kHz at 16 bits.

• Dolby Digital

A surround audio format configured with six channels. Because the "LFE (Low-Frequency Effect for sub-woofer, etc.)" channel, one of the six channels, is an auxiliary channel, this format is called "5.1-channel system". Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channel information.

• DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

A surround audio format configured with six (5.1) channels which is same as Dolby Digital. Because the

3 6

compression ratio is lower than Dolby Digital, it provides wider dynamic range and better separation. Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channel information.

The associated indicator lights up in the display window when playing back a disc.

Non-playable discs

DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-AUDIO, CD-ROM, PHOTO CD, CD-EXTRA, CD-G, CD-TEXT, SACD, MIX-MODE CD

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

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

Introduction

Disc structure

(For DVD VIDEO)

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.

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."

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4

Video CDs and SVCDs with Playback Control function

What is Playback Control function?

The Playback Control function, allows you to enjoy menu-driven 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 and 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 a menu display to select and play an entry. See example illustration below about basic feature of menu-driven playback (for details about PBC, see also page 22).

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!

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 images may be garbled or noisy. This is sometimes due to the disc.

Getting started

• If your television equipped with component jacks supports the progressive scan mode

Set the Scan mode selector to "480p".

• If you want to select the scan mode between the interlace and progressive modes

(depending on the source condition, or when connecting more than one television etc.)

You can select the mode from the remote control unit. To do this, set the scan mode selector to "REMOTE". (See "To make the Progressive scan mode selection active from the remote control unit" on page 8 for details about how to select the scan mode from the remote control unit when the scan mode selector is set to "REMOTE".)

NOTES

• When the scan mode is set to the progressive mode, the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is lit. The color of the indicator differs depending on the "PROGRESSIVE MODE" setting on the "PICTURE" preference display and the status of the unit (see pages 8 and 49.)

• When connecting to a TV using the VIDEO or S-VIDEO jack, make sure that the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is not lit. If it is lit, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed the correct signals. To turn off the PROGRESSIVE indicator, set the scan mode selector on the rear panel to "480i". Or, while setting the scan mode selector to "REMOTE", make the Progressive scan mode inactive by following the procedure described on page 8.

• 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 "ANALOG DOWN MIX" in the "AUDIO" preferences to "STEREO" (see page 51).

• 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.

• To improve audio sound quality, connect the AUDIO OUT jacks to your separate audio equipment. (See the following pages.)

• If your TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV COMPU LINK function. See "AV COMPU LINK remote control

system" on page 58 for details.

About SCAN MODE

To display video on the television (monitor) 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.

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-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 to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Getting started

To make the Progressive scan mode selection active from the remote control unit

The unit supports the Progressive scan system as well as the conventional Interlace scan system. If your television or monitor supports the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by making the Progressive scan mode active.

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

If you want to select the scan mode between the interlace 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).

Press and hold down the VFP - PROGRESSIVE SCAN button for a few seconds.

The scan mode switches between the Progressive scan and Interlace scan modes.

• When the scan mode is set to the progressive mode, the PROGRESSIVE 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 pages 7 and 49.)

• 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 58 for details

Getting started

To connect to digital audio device

You can enhance the sound quality by connecting either of the unit's DIGITAL OUT jacks to the digital input of an amplifier, MD, etc. by using an optical or a coaxal digital cable (optional). 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 digital connection, we recommend also to make the analog connection, because, depending on discs, no signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT.

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.
