FOREWORD

This section must be read carefully before any connection is
made to the mains supply.

WARNINGS

Do not expose the equipment to rain or moisture.
Do not remove the cover from the equipment.
Do not insert anything into the equipment through the

ventilation holes.
Do not handle the mains lead with wet hands.
Make a space of about 0.1 meter around the unit.

CE marking

This product is in conformity with the EMC
directive and low-voltage directive.

EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING

Your Marantz product complies with the household power and
safety requirements in your area.

IMPORTANT: (FOR UK version only)

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or BSI
approved type.

3. Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A.
If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board
should not be greater than 5A.

NOTE : The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible

shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket
elsewhere.

PRECAUTIONS

The following precautions should be taken when operating the
equipment.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

When installing the equipment ensure that:
– the ventilation holes are not covered.

– air is allowed to circulate freely around the equipment.
– it is placed on a vibration-free surface.
– it will not be exposed to excessive heat, cold, moisture or dust.
– it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
– it will not be exposed to electrostatic discharges.

In addition, never place heavy objects on the equipment.
If a foreign object or water does enter the equipment, contact

your nearest dealer or service center.
Do not pull out the plug by pulling on the mains lead; grasp the

plug.
It is advisable when leaving the house, or during a thunderstorm,

to disconnect the equipment from the mains supply.

HOW TO CONNECT A PLUG

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
BLUE—”NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN—”LIVE” (“L”)

1. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter “N” or coloured BLACK.

2. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter “L” or coloured RED.

3. Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug
which is marked by the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol

or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip
is clamped over the sheath of the lead — not simply over the two
wires.

Compatible with a wide range of DVD
digital audio output formats

DVDs are recorded in one of four types of digital audio
formats (as of October 1998). The digital audio output jacks
of this player output Dolby Digital*, DTS**, MPEG, and linear
PCM digital bitstreams.

This player has a function that converts Dolby Digital and
MPEG audio formats into the linear PCM format. This allows
playback of DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital and MPEG
without the need for a decoder.

Easy setup and adjustment using on­screen menus

Differences in Disc
Composition

DVD

DVDs 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

Title 1

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.

How to Proceed in This
Manual

DVD is an incredible format that presents the highest quality
digital audio and video available today. The amount of
information that can be recorded onto a DVD disc is
remarkable, allowing it to offer numerous functions and
features available with no other format.
Because using the DVD player and DVDs may be confusing
at first, following the order below should help you get through
the important stages of getting set up so you can start using
your player as soon as possible.

Get familiar with the player.

Refer to the section
all the accessories were included with the player. If you are
new to DVD, it might be beneficial for you to go through the

“Names and Functions”

familiar with the parts and buttons on the main unit and
remote control as they will be referred to throughout this
manual.

There is also a list of terms that can be found on page 49 if
you are having trouble understanding some of the
terminology associated with DVD.

Make the necessary connections.

No entertainment system seems to be set up exactly the
same way. The
page 10 shows how video and audio connections may be
made to suit your home entertainment system.

Set up the necessary player menus.

Before you can begin to enjoy the benefits of the DVD format,
it is first necessary to set up the player to output the video
and audio information that corresponds to your system. The
section

“Setting Up the Player”

how to use the Setup Navigator, a function that automatically
sets up the player corresponding to the answers given in a
multiple-choice on-screen procedure. The Setup screen
menus, described in the section starting on page 21, are also

Making
Connections

Connecting Your DVD Player

Unlike any other audiovisual media format, DVD offers a wide
array of audio and video output options which allows
playback to be enjoyed in any number of system
configurations from a standard TV with stereo audio input to a
home theater system with a TV or monitor and full surround
sound capabilities.

Connection Guide

The illustration on this page shows the basic setup using the

audio and video cords included with this player. Use this

illustration as a guide to setting up your home system.

An explanation of each type of audio and video connection

available can be found on pages 11 to 13. To determine the

best audio and video connection setup for your system, refer

to the manuals supplied with the components you are making

connections to.

In addition to making physical connections to your TV or

monitor, it is also necessary to assign the TV screen size. You

can use the [Setup Navigator] in the Setup screen General

menu to set whether you are using a wide screen or standard

size TV or monitor (page 15). Additionally, you can use the

[TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu (page

25).

Notes

• When making connections to this unit or when changing
connections, check that the unit is off by pressing
Power Switch and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

• The analog video output on this player uses copy protect
circuitry to prevent the video playback on DVDs from being
copied. If you connect the player to a TV via a VCR, or record
and play back the contents of a disc with a VCR, the playback
picture may not be normal.

Audio Connections

This player features two digital (optical and coaxial) and also
analog audio output formats.

Digital Audio Connections:

You can enjoy the digital audio recorded on DVD discs from
both optical digital and coaxial digital output jacks.

When making digital audio connections, do not make
connections from both the coaxial and optical digital
outputs to the same component.

When a DVD recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG is
loaded, noise will be output if you have made connections via
the digital audio jacks to a receiver or amplifier that cannot
decode a Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG digital bitstream. In
this case, be sure to set up the Setup Navigator audio
settings to best reflect the type of system you are using (page

16). Additionally, the digital audio settings can be adjusted
manually in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu (page 23-24).

DIGITAL OUT (Optical)

The digital signal is transmitted as light pulses through a
fiber-optic cable.

• Use to connect to an AV amplifier or receiver with built-in
Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder.

• Use a fiber-optic cable (not supplied) to connect the
DIGITAL OUT OPT (digital optical output) on the player to
the digital optical input on an AV amplifier or receiver.

DIGITAL OUT (Coaxial)

The digital signal is transmitted electronically through a
coaxial cable.

• Use to connect to an AV amplifier or receiver with built-in
Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder.

• Use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the DIGITAL
OUT (coaxial digital output) on the player to the coaxial

digital input on an AV amplifier or receiver.

About MOD. (Modulation) PAL

• SHRINK
Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV

system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically
switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without
vertical shrinkage.

• If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not
be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If
the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops
rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically,
leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen.
This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC = PAL
conversion.

VIDEO OUT

• Make composite video connections to a standard TV or
monitor with a video input jack.

• Use the supplied video cable to connect the VIDEO OUT
jacks on the player to the video input on the TV or monitor.

• Be sure to match the color of the plug with the color of the
jack (yellow).

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
proceeding.
