Features

Equipped with an i.LINK port for digital transfers of high-quality media

By simply connecting a single i.LINK cable between components with i.LINK ports, you can get direct digital transfers of not only DVD-Video audio but also multi-channel audio such as Super Audio CD or DVDAudio, which previously could only be connected in analog with five audio cords, as well as 2-channel audio like conventional CDs (see page 55).

When transferring DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD audio digitally by i.LINK, this unit employs the Jitter Free Transfer System (JFTS), a technology that removes jitter from transfers. By combining this unit with JFTScompatible components, you can play jitterfree audio.

An HDCP-compatible HDMI*1 terminal is provided to ensure the very highest picture and digital sound quality by fully digital transmission.

This unit comes with a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) jack, an extended DVI interface for next-generation televisions. This interface allows transfers of uncompressed digital video and digital audio (audio streams like Dolby Digital and DTS as well as linear PCM) with a single connector. HDMI standard Ver. 1.1 compatibility means the unit can also transfer DVD-Audio multichannel audio over HDMI.

End-to-end full-digital transfers with alldigital processing make it possible to enjoy realistic video without any of the image degradation from AD/DA conversions. And with the inclusion of our newly developed, high-precision 10-bit scaler IC, the unit can up-convert 480p video signals to 720p, 10 8 0i, and 1080p video output signals by way of the scaling function and the HDMI jack (see page 52).

to let you enjoy beautiful video possible with DVD. Furthermore, NSV technology suppresses noise during DA conversion.

Support for 10-bit advanced progressive NTSC/PAL with newly developed chroma-error compensation.

Our newly developed chroma-error compensation completely eliminates the chroma error that occurs near perpendicular edges in color-difference signals.

dts 96kHz/24 bit compatibility

It is equipped with a dts 96/24 decoder that lets you enjoy dts audio with sound quality as high as 96kHz/24bit. This product does not support dts 88.2kHz/24bit.

Dolby Headphone compatibility

The Head Phone can reproduce the world of Dolby Surround with realistic ambience like that you would experience using a 5.1 ch system (Excluding Super Audio CD) (see

page 13).

Lip Sync capability

When it is connected to a plasma display or projector, it corrects the time lag between the video and audio created by the video circuit processing time in units of 10msec up to a maximum of 200msec. It precisely synchronizes the actors’ voices and the movements of their mouths (see page 31).

Equipped with a Super Audio CD Distance compensation function

It can perform Distance adjustment of Super Audio CD that was formerly impossible by converting it to PCM (see page 44).

Superlative audio performance with Super Audio CD, DVD-Audio, Dolby*

Digital and DTS*4 software

Logos:

High quality 14-bit/216MHz Video D/ A converter*

Speaker Size

• Default setting: Front L/R: Large | Center: Large | LFE: On | Surround L/R: Large

You only need to make this setting if you connected this player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs. This setting does not affect digital audio output.

Follow the on-screen displays to describe which speakers are in your system and their sizes and positions.

Set the size of your speakers in the Speaker Size screen. The front left/right (L/R), center (C) and surround left/right (LS/RS) speakers can each be set to Large, Small or Off. Set a speaker to Large if the main speaker cone is 12cm or more; set to Small if it’s less than 12cm.

The subwoofer (LFE) can only be set to On or Off.

The graphic of the screen represents your speaker setup, with the currently selected speaker’s name highlighted in yellow.

Distance

• Default setting: Unit: Feet | Distance: 10 feet Set the distance from your main listening position

to each speaker in the Distance screen. The distance setting for any speaker that was set to Off in the Speaker Size screen will be disappeared. For the other speakers, enter the distance to the nearest 1 feet (0.3m). You can set the distance for the L/R speakers between 1.0 feet (0.3m) and 40 feet (12m). Note that you must set the C and SW speakers within 15 feet (4.5m) of the L/R setting. The LS and RS speakers must be set within –15 feet (–4.5m) and +15 feet (+4.5m) of the L/R setting.

Level

• Default setting: Fix

You may want to make this setting if you connected this player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs.

Under the default setting, all channels are output at the relative volumes they were recorded at. Change the setting to Variable, if you want to adjust the relative volume levels of any of the speakers. Adjustment is in the range of -6dB to +6dB, in steps of 0.5dB.

•When you set it to Variable, the overall output level may sound quieter than when set to Fix. This is not a malfunction.

Press ENTER

To help you gauge the correct gain levels, set the Te st Tone to Manual (test tone from just that speaker) or Auto (test tone from each speaker in turn), then adjust the gain so that all speakers appear to be the same volume from your listening position.

Follow the on-screen displays to select speakers and set the Output Levels.

• Many AV amplifiers allow you to make similar settings at the amplifier stage. In this case, set the output levels at the player or the amplifier, not both.

•As the test tone plays through a speaker, its name is highlighted in yellow on-screen.

Remember

•You can't use the test tone function when the Audio Out setting is 2 Channel (see page 39). The test tone will not work with the disc tray open, or while a disc is playing.

• This setting cannot be chosen when i.LINK is connected or when HDMI is connected while either Auto or Multi PCM selected for the

HDMI audio setting. (pages 54, 55)

Audio DRC

• Default setting: Off When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume,

it’s easy to lose the low level sounds completely, including some of the dialog. Switching on Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) can help things by bringing up the low level sounds, while keeping the lid on high level peaks.

The Off setting leaves the original dynamics intact; On ‘squashes’ the dynamics; but exactly how much difference you can hear between the settings will depend on the material you’re watching.

Remember

• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources.

• The effect of Audio DRC depends on your speakers and AV amplifier settings.

• This setting cannot be chosen when i.LINK is connected or when HDMI is connected while either Auto or Multi PCM selected for the HDMI audio setting. (pages 54, 55)

•How good the surround effect is varies with the disc.

•When TruSurround is On, the audio can be output only for the L/R jacks on the Front.

• This setting cannot be chosen when i.LINK is connected or when HDMI is connected while either Auto or Multi PCM selected for the

HDMI audio setting. (pages 54, 55)

SRS TruSurround

SRS TruSurround uses technology that simulates multichannel surround sound using only two speakers.

Super Audio CD Play

• Default setting: DSD

Either DSD or PCM is selected using the cursor button (2/3).

TruSurround

• Default setting: Off If you connected your DVD player using only the

stereo analog outputs and set Audio Out to 2 Channel (page 39), you can simulate surround sound by setting TruSurround to On.

Note

•Works with DVD-Video and VCD only.

• The digital audio output is processed by TruSurround when playing 2 channel Dolby Digital DVDs or Video CDs with TruSurround On. It is recommended that TruSurround be turned Off when connecting the player to your amp using a coaxial or optical connection.

• DSD

DSD that is the original format of Super Audio CD plays. It is not possible to set the Distance in the speaker settings.

• PCM

DSD signals are played converted to PCM. It is possible to set the Distance in the speaker settings.

Note

This setting is set to DSD when i.LINK is connected. (pags 55)

TV Aspect

• Default setting: 16:9 Wide If you have a widescreen TV, select the 16:9 Wide

setting—widescreen DVD software is then shown using the full screen area. When playing software recorded in conventional (4:3) format, the settings on your TV will determine how the material is presented—see the manual that came with your TV for details on what options are available. If your TV does not have settings for how 4:3 sources look, choose the 16:9 Squeeze setting. The picture you see on your TV will be determined by the disc. See page 46 for more information.

If you have a conventional TV, choose either 4:3 L- Box or 4:3 Pan Scan. In Letter Box mode, widescreen software is shown with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even though the picture looks larger on the screen, you’re actually seeing less of the movie).

Components Out

• Default setting: Interlace

Compared to a standard interlaced TV picture, a progressive scan TV is capable of stable, flickerfree images.

Set only if you connected the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT to a progressive scan-compatible TV or monitor.

• Progressive – Use this setting with TVs and monitors that have progressive scan component video inputs. Check the TV’s instruction manual if you are not sure about this.

• Interlace – Use this setting with regular TVs that are not compatible with progressive scan. Check the TV’s instruction manual if you are not sure about this.

Pause Mode

• Default setting: Auto The player uses one of two processes when

displaying a still frame from a DVD disc. The default Auto setting automatically chooses the best setting each time.

• Field – produces a stable, generally shake-free

image.

• Frame – produces a sharper image, but more

prone to shake than field stills.

English

Tip

If this player is set to output progressive-scan video, it’s possible that the picture will appear stretched when playing discs recorded in 4:3 format. This happens when the TV’s aspect ratio is set to ‘Full’. To see the picture in its correct aspect ratio, change the TV setting to ‘Normal’.

If your TV doesn’t have settings to change the aspect ratio of the picture, set this player to 16:9

Squeeze.

Note

• If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and choose one of the progressive scan settings, you will not be able to see any picture at all. With your TV connected using either the composite or S-Video terminals, choose the Interlace setting in the Component Video menu.

• Compatibility of this unit with progressive-scan TVs: Note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this unit and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of progressive scan picture problems, try switching the connection to the “STANDARD DEFINITION” output.

• 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 discs, because the picture may roll. If the TV has a VHold 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 to PAL conversion.

TV System

• Default setting: NTSC

The default setting of this player is NTSC, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to NTSC.

If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region’s system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting (Multi, PAL and NTSC).

Note

•When the selected format is changed to a different format from the TV format in which a program was recorded, the picture may become jerky and the upper and lower parts of the screen may disappear. The above setting should be specified to match the format of your own TV.

• Changes can be made only in the Stop mode. When RESUME is indicated on the display, put the player in the Stop mode by repressing

7 (STOP) button.

About i.LINK

By simply connecting a single i.LINK cable between components with i.LINK ports, you can get direct digital transfers of not only DVD-Video audio but also multi-channel audio such as Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio, which previously could only be connected in analog with five audio cords, as well as 2channel audio like conventional CDs.

When transferring DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD audio digitally by i.LINK, this unit employs the Jitter Free Transfer System (JFTS), a technology that removes jitter from transfers. By combining this unit with JFTS-compatible components, you can play jitter-free audio.

Make sure that the plug is pushed fully home.

• i.LINK can transport three formats: “i.LINK AUDIO (A&M protocol)” used by this unit, “MPEG-2 TS” for BS digital, and “DV” used by DVD recorders and digital video players. Data cannot be forwarded correctly when this unit is connected to components or computer peripherals that do not support the i.LINK AUDIO format. Furthermore, such connections may cause the unit to operate incorrectly.

• During playback at an i.LINK component, do not unplug other i.LINK components, plug in new i.LINK components, or turn components on or off. Doing so many interrupt the audio playback.

• Some i.LINK components cannot relay data when power is off or in standby mode. Please refer to the owner’s manual of your connected i.LINK component. This unit cannot relay i.LINK data in standby power mode.

• i.LINK components indicate the maximum data transfer rate they support near the i.LINK port. The maximum i.LINK data transfer rates are defined as 100/200/400 Mbps (all rates are approximate). S200 indicates a maximum transfer rate of 200 Mbps; S400 indicates 400 Mbps. This unit has a maximum i.LINK data transfer rate of 400 Mbps. The actual transfer rate, however, may be slower than 400 Mbps due to a component’s specification or when connected to an S100 or S200 device. Whenever possible, connect components with the same maximum data transfer rate in parallel.

(Mbps is an abbreviation for megabits per second and indicates the amount of data that can be communicated in one second. At 400 Mbps, 400 megabits of data are transferred in one second.)

• i.LINK functions are not guaranteed to connect and operate among all i.LINK components. The functions of each respective component determine whether data or control signals can be exchanged among i.LINK components.

• This unit’s i.LINK module was designed based on IEEE Std. 1394a-2000, Standard for High Performance Serial Bus.

• i.LINK and the i.LINK logo are trademarks of the Sony Corporation.

• IEEE 1394 is an international standard formulated by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers U.S. (IEEE).

i.LINK Network

i.LINK components can be connected in the following configurations when exchanging i.LINK AUDIO signals (A&M Protocol).

1. Daisy-chain connection

Each pair of components is connected with a single i.LINK cable in series. Up to 17 components can be connected in this configuration.

2. Tree (tower) connection

Each pair of components is connected with a single i.LINK cable in series and in parallel. Up to 63 components can be connected in this configuration.

Note

Always make i.LINK connections between any pair of components with one cable. Do not under any circumstance connect two components with two cables (forming a loop) because a component will receive the signals it outputs causing it to operate incorrectly.

Both the player and the amplifier must support Digital Transmission Content Protection (DTCP), a copyright protection system, in order to play Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio (excluding free-to-copy discs) audio over an i.LINK connection. DTCP is a copy-protection technology that includes data encryption and component authentication. This unit supports DTCP. Please refer to the owner’s manual of your amplifier to determine if it supports DTCP.

Handling discs

When holding discs of any type, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge.

Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance. Take care also not to scratch the label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as the recorded side, scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable.

Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown in the diagram below.

Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes.

Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular strokes.

Discs to avoid

Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it in your player—you could end up damaging the unit.

This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended for this product.

Cleaning the pickup lens

The DVD player’s lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest MARANTZ-authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.

If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records.

Storing discs

Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable than vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and store discs correctly. When you're not using a disc, return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight).

Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc.

Problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won’t damage the player, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.

For more detailed care information see the instructions that come with discs.

Do not load more than one disc into the player.
