Connection of Equipment

Before Start

Do not insert the power cord plugs of the player and the connected components until all of the components have been connected.

Be sure to insert all connection cables securely. If a cable is plugged incompletely, lack of video, lack of audio or noise may result.

Before connecting or disconnecting a connection cord, be sure to unplug the power plug from the wall power outlet. If a connection cable is connected or disconnected while the power plug is left connected, malfunction or equipment damage may result.

When a DVD AUDIO disc is played, the player can output audio signals at very high frequencies. As this may sometimes lead to speaker damage due to a high-volume sound, do not set "Audio Filter" to "Filter 110 kHz" when the speakers in use are not suitable for high-frequency reproduction. Œ

Also, be sure to check the actual sound level when increasing or decreasing the volume control setting.

Remote control range:

If the joystick remote is used outside this area, correct operations will not be possible.

¶ When the controllable distance of the joystick remote

reduces, replace both batteries with new ones.

¶ Do not install the player in a place where the remote

control sensor is subjected to direct sunlight or the light of a fluorescent lamp base on high-frequency lighting (inverter system, etc.). Otherwise, the control range of the joystick remote will be reduced.

Preparation of Remote Control Unit

OUTPUT jacks output the same number of channels as the original number of channels regardless of whether the "D.MIX" indicator is lit or not.

DTS disclaimer clause

DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software which consequently cannot be decoded and played back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, proper precautions should be taken by the consumer if the analog outputs are connected directly to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the CD, LD or DVD player.

This unit is equipped with DTS Digital Surround™ decoder.

S Video connection: When the connected TV has an S

Video connector, connect the S VIDEO OUTPUT connector of the player to it using the provided S Video cable.

"IPB Display" Setting

With the MPEG2 which is one of the video display methods of DVD, each picture is divided into the following three picture types before being coded in digital signal.

I-picture (in-frame coding): This is the standard video

and can constitute a picture by itself. As the highest picture quality can be obtained, the still image of Ipicture is most suitable for use when adjusting the picture quality.

P-picture (forward prediction coding): Picture cal-

culated based on past pictures (I-picture or P-picture).

B-picture (bidirectional prediction coding): Picture

calculated by comparing the previous and next pictures (I-pictures or P-pictures). This picture type contains least amount of video information.

When IPB Display is set to "On", the I, P or B type of DVD still picture is displayed on the TV screen to help identify whether the picture is I-picture, P-picture or Bpicture. This makes it possible to find the I-picture which is the standard video containing most amount of information.

Delay Time Setting

When playing a DVD recorded with Dolby Digital audio, the distances from the listening position to the center and surround speakers should ideally be identical to those of all other speakers except for the subwoofer. The delay time setting makes it possible to compensate for the difference in distances of actual speakers by delaying the audio output from the center speaker and surround speakers so that the sounds from all speakers reach the listening position at the same timing. (The delay time adjustment is available only with Dolby Digital.)

Before starting the speaker setting, see the following figure and measure distance A of the center speaker (A = Df - Dc) and distance B for the surround speakers (B = Df - Ds). The standard delay time settings can be identified based on these values and the following tables.

Glossary

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc): DVD VIDEO is a disc

featuring high video/audio quality, made possible by large recording capacity of video and audio signals of movie software, etc. and by digital signal processing. DVD AUDIO has been desired to provide even higher audio quality than DVD VIDEO by using highbit, high sampling rate processing.

VIDEO CD (VCD): This is a CD containing moving pic-

ture. By compressing video data to about 1/120 and audio data to about 1/6, a 12 cm disc with the same size as ordinary music CD can store moving pictures and audio for up to about 74 minutes.

The VCD includes the P.B.C.-incompatible discs with only the playback capability (Version 1.1) and P.B.C.compatible discs with the menu playback and spe-

Other Information

cial playback capabilities (Version 2.0)

MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) (DVD, VCD):

A digital video and audio compression and decompression system which is standardized as an international standard.

Decoder: A device for restoring standard audio signal

from audio data recorded based on coding into DVD data, etc. This processing is referred to as decoding.

Downmixing: Conversion of multichannel audio sig-

nals of DVD or DTS-CD into 2-channel stereo signals.

Sampling rate: Sampling refers to converting an ana-

log signal into digital signal by slicing the analog signal into fine parts at a certain time interval and digitizing every sliced part. The sampling rate is the count of slicing per second. The original sound can be reproduced more faithfully when the sampling rate is higher.

Quantization bit: The quantization bit count refers to

the number used in digitizing the sliced parts obtained by slicing the analog signal as described above. The quantization bit count is the number of bits used in digitization per second. The original sound can be reproduced more faithfully when the quantization bit count is larger.

Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): Audio signal

format without using compression. In the DVD which has a very large disc capacity, the linear PCM signal using high sampling rate can be recorded.

Packed PCM : The packed PCM(P.PCM) signal is ob-

tained by compressing the linear PCM signal featuring large data amount and high sampling rate. With this compression, the signal before compression can be restored perfectly.

Bitstream (DVD): This is the generic name given for

the flow of data based on a standard such as Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, etc.

Dolby Digital: A digital audio compression technology

developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It is compatible with 6-channel surround audio as well as 2-channel stereo, and capable of recording a large amount of audio data efficiently in a disc.

DTS : Digital surround system developed by Digital The-

ater Systems, Inc.

Title/Title No. (DVD VIDEO): The title is the largest

unit of video or audio recorded in DVD VIDEO. Usually, a title corresponding to a movie product with video software or an album (or a piece of music) with music software. The numbers assigned to the titles are referred to as title numbers.

Chapter/Chapter No. (DVD VIDEO): The chapter is a

partition of video or audio that is smaller than the title. A title is composed of multiple chapters. The numbers assigned to the chapters are referred to as chapter numbers.

Group/Group No. (DVD AUDIO): The group is the

largest unit of the contents in DVD AUDIO. Usually, a group corresponds to an album. The numbers assigned to the groups are referred to as group numbers.

Track/Track No. (DVD AUDIO, VCD, CD): The track

is a partition of audio (such as a piece of music or music chapter) in a disc. These partitions are numbered and the numbers are referred to as track numbers. While a track usually corresponds to a piece of music with DVD AUDIO or ordinary music CD, the partitions of contents and track numbers are not always corresponding with VCD. As a result, while all of the playback operations including track skipping and programming of ordinary music CD are based on the track number information, such operations may sometimes be unavailable with VCD.

AVTT (Audio Video Title): Part of DVD AUDIO that

contains moving pictures. The audio language, subtitle language and viewing angles in this part can be switched by the user.

AOTT (Audio Only Title): Part of DVD AUDIO that

contains audio and still pictures. The audio language and still pictures in this part can be switched by the user.

Subtitle language (DVD): Some DVDs contain the re-

cording of multiple subtitle languages. This player allows the user to select desired one of the recorded subtitle languages during playback of such a DVD.

Chapter 7: Other Information

Angle (DVD): Some DVDs contain the recording of

multiple viewing angles. This player allows the user to select desired one of the recorded angles during playback of such a DVD.

Audio language (DVD): Some DVDs contain the re-

cording of multiple audio languages. This player allows the user to select desired one of the recorded audio languages during playback of such a DVD.

Aspect ratio: The ratio between the horizontal and ver-

tical sizes of picture displayed on a TV screen. The aspect ratio of ordinary TV is 4:3, and that of widescreen TV is 16:9.

Pan & scan (DVD): Method of displaying a horizon-

tally-long picture recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio on a 4:3 TV screen by trimming part of picture.

In general, the trimming positions for pan & scan are determined uniformly by the reproducing device. However, the pan & scan of DVD allows the software producer to specify the trimming positions to be used in playback.

Letterbox (DVD): Method of displaying a horizontally-

long picture recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio on a 4:3 TV screen by attaching bands at the top and bottom of the screen and displaying the horizontally-long picture at the center of screen.

Frame (DVD, VCD): Each frame of a moving picture,

that is displayed 30 times a second with NTSC and 25 times a second with PAL. These TV formats reproduce moving pictures by displaying still pictures sequentially.

Field (DVD, VCD): Part of a frame obtained by divid-

ing the video data of each frame by two. Each frame of ordinary TV is constituted by displaying the fields alternately.

Frame still/Field still (DVD, VCD): Types of still pic-

tures obtained by temporarily stopping a moving picture. The frame still picture may produce blur in the picture because it displays two specific fields alternately, but the picture quality is higher. The field still picture has lower picture quality because it uses half the picture information of frame still, but is not accompanies with picture blur.

IPB display (DVD): With the MPEG2 which is one of

the video display methods of DVD, each picture is divided into the following three picture types before being coded in digital signal.

I-picture (Intra coded): This is the standard video and can constitute a picture by itself. As the highest picture quality can be obtained, the still image of Ipicture is most suitable for use when adjusting the picture quality.

P-picture (Predictive coded): Picture calculated based on past pictures (I-picture or P-picture).

B-picture (Bidirectionally predictive coded): Picture calculated by comparing the previous and next pictures (I-pictures or P-pictures). This picture type contains least amount of video information.

P.B.C. (PlayBack Control) (VCD): VIDEO CDs carry-

ing messages such as "Playback Control Capable" can be played interactively by selecting the desired play position or information in hierarchical structures while watching the menus displayed on the TV screen.

OSD (On-Screen Display): OSD is a method of inter-

active operations using the menus and icons displayed on the TV screen.

On-Screen Message: Message displayed on the TV screen

when an operation is performed.

Downconversion: Conversion of PCM signal with high

sampling rate such as 96 kHz and 192 kHz into a signal with a sampling rate of 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz.

Dynamic range: Difference between the minimum re-

producible audio signal and maximum reproducible audio signal.
