GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

• If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), it will fit into the outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

• If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Power-supply cords

should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an outside

antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.

LIGHTNING — For added protection for this product

during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

POWER LINES — An outside antenna system should

not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets,

extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

• When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.

• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.

• If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

• When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for service.

REPLACEMENT PARTS — When replacement parts

are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

ENGLISH

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and

clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

W e Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Superlative audio performance from built in DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital*, DTS** and MPEG decoders

The 192kHz/24bit-compatible DAC inside the DV-12S1 delivers breath-taking sound quality with DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital and DTS discs.

The DV-12S1 is compatible with both 2-channel (192kHz/ 24bit) and multi-channel (96kHz/24bit) DVD-Audio discs thanks to its 5.1-channel audio outputs.

In addition, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG decoders are builtin so you can connect the DV-12S1 directly to an AV amplifier with 5.1 channel inputs to enjoy cinema-like surround sound.

525 line digital progressive-scan component video output (NTSC)

Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan effectively doubles the amount of video information fed to your TV or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free image. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this feature.)

For the very highest picture quality, try watching a movie on DVD-Video on a progressive-scan compatible TV.

The DV-12S1 offers complete flexibility and compatibility with all types of AV equipment with composite video and S-Video outputs, as well as component video outs.

Digital Noise Reduction PRO (Video Quality Enhancer)

This new type of DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) for encoding video enables you to adjust the video settings on a more detailed and exact level. There are three possible settings to choose from. These include: TV (CRT), Pr ojector, and Professional. This technology can remember which setting you’ve chosen and employ it at the proper time.

Differences in Disc Composition

DVD

DVD-Videos are divided into units referred to as titles, and titles are divided into chapters. A DVD which contains a movie may have only one title with many or no chapter divisions. Karaoke DVDs may have many titles, assigning a title to each song on the disc. Menu screens do not belong to any title.

DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a disc or chapters within a selected title. The player functions available may also vary from title to title, depending on the disc. When discs have a unique title division, it should be noted that search and program functions may be affected.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 2

DVD-Audio discs are divided up into units known as groups, and each group is further divided into tracks. Generally speaking, a single song corresponds to a single track, however, tracks may also be divided into indexes. Menu screens and video material common to DVD-Video discs may also be included on some discs.

Video CD/CD

Video CDs and CDs are divided into units referred to as tracks (Video CD tracks may also be referred to as scenes). One song generally corresponds to one track. Some tracks are further divided into units referred to as indexes. Video CDs with PBC (Playback Control) also contain menus recorded on the disc which enable easy access to the contents of the disc.

When played back on a DVD player, both Video CDs and CDs are considered to be a single title, regardless of the number of tracks.

THX

With their experience in movie making and DVD mastering, Lucasfilm engineers researched the capabilities of the DVD format. They have identified many key areas of importance that are necessary to ensure the highest quality possible for video and audio playback.

The Home THX DVD specification was created to realize the full potential of the format. The THX DVD program is a number of technical and performance specifications developed to make certain that the

audio and video quality of every DVD recording is reproduced as accurately as possible. Thus exploiting the medium’s maximum potential.

MARANTZ and THX have engineered this product to give maximum performance and quality. “At the time of THX Certification of the DV-12S1, widely accepted industry performance standards for the features

“Progressive Scan Video” and “DVD Audio’ did not exist. While THX sees that these features are present in the MARANTZ DV-12S1, THX engineers did not certify their technical performance.”

5.1 CHANNEL AUDIO OUT

5.1 channel audio refers to the current industry surround

sound standard requiring two front speakers, a center speaker, two surround (rear) speakers and a sub woofer. Although in actuality there are 6 channels, because the sub woofer channel, or LFE channel, makes up a mere fraction of the total audio soundtrack, it has been designated as the 0.1 of the 5.1 system.

By utilizing the player’s internal multichannel audio decoder, the audio of DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG DVDs can be output from the 5.1 channel discrete outputs to an AV amplifier or receiver with 5.1 channel input capability.

• Use audio cables to make connections from the player’s AUDIO OUT (5.1 channel) jacks to the equivalent input jacks on the AV amplifier or receiver.

• When making 5.1 channel analog audio connections, be sure to match the left and right channels on both components, and also make sure that the jacks of all the channels are connected correctly on both components.

• Either 2 single audio cords or a stereo cord may be used to connect the CENTER and SUB WOOFER channels to the AV amplifier or receiver.

• When making this kind of connection, be sure to select [5.1 Channel] in the Setup Navigator [Analog Jacks] screen (page 21).

Setting Up the Player

Using the Setup Navigator

The Setup Navigator has been designed to simplify the process of getting the DVD player ready to perform. Designed as a series of on-screen multiple-choice questions, the Setup Navigator automatically sets the audio, video, and language settings according to how the questions are answered. Once this procedure is complete, it will be possible to begin using the DVD player to enjoy DVDs.

The procedure on this page describes the operations necessary to function within the Setup Navigator screens. A detailed description of the contents of each question that appears on the screen can be found on the following pages.

When setting up for the first time

Some DVDs start playing automatically when loaded in the player. Because the Setup Navigator cannot be used if a disc is playing, it is recommended to set up the player using the Setup Navigator before loading a DVD for the first time. If a DVD has been loaded, be sure to press STOP 7 before proceeding.
