CONNECTING TO A TV

• Ensure that all equipment to be connected are switched off or disconnect the AC power cords.

• Before connecting other equipment study the instructions.

• Watch the colour coding of the connecting cables.

A. Connecting to a Stereo TV

1 TV (not supplied)
2 DVD-Player
3 Audio-/videocable (not supplied)
4 S-videocable (not supplied)

5 to audio input (red, white)
6 to video input (yellow)
7 to S-video-input
8 Scartcable (supplied)
9 Power cord (supplied)

10 to AC outlet (110-240 V, 50/60 Hz)

S-video output

The S- (seperate) video output connector seperates the colour (C) and luminance (Y) signals befo­re transmitting them to the TV in order to achieve a sharper picture. Audio signals are not trans­mitted. If your TV is equipped with an S-video input, use a S-video cable (not supplied) to connect
the S-video output of the player with the S-video in jack of your TV. This will optimise your image
reproduction.

IMPORTANT!

Never make or change connections
with the power switched an.

CONNECTIONS / REPRODUCTION

Concerning the digital audio output

Depending on the disc format, either Dolby Digital sound or Linear PCM sound will be outputted
from the unit´s digital audio output connector (PCM/Dolby Digital) as shown in the table below.

DiSC Sound Recording Format Digital Audio Output From Connector

DVD Dolby Digital Dolby Digital Bitstream

Linear PCM Linear PCM (96 kHz Samplingrate only)

Audio-CD Linear PCM Linear PCM (44,1 kHz Samplingrate only)

Video-CD MPEG Linear PCM (44,1 kHz Samplingrate only)

Note:

• For DVDs, sound having 96 kHz sampling cav be outputted from the unit´s digital output
connector.

Information:

• Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by the Dolby Laboratories
Licensing Corporation. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel)
sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficienly recorded on a disc.

• Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in audio CDs. While audio CDs are recorded in

44.1 kHz/16bit, DVD are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.

• If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic
from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as
from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.

Caution for the digital output connector:

• Do not connect an amplifier (with an optical digital input connector) which does not contain
the Dolby Digital decoder.

• Otherwise attemting to play DVD may cause such a high level of noise that it may be harmful
to your ears and damage your speakers.

• Video CDs and audio CDs can be played as they would normally be played.

GENERAL / DEFINITION OF TERMS

If the disc is brought from a cold to a warm environment, moisture may form on the disc.
Wipe this moisture off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc.

You can damage discs if you store them in the following places:

• Areas exposed to direct sunlight

• Humid or dusty areas

• Areas directly exposed to a heat outlet or heating appliance

• CD-ROM

• CDV

• CD-G

• DVD with a Locale No. other than that shown on the DVD unit’s Region Code Label on the
rear panel

• Do not try to play Photo CD

• Be sure to turn the unit off and disconnect the AC power cord before maintaining the unit.

• Wipe this unit with a dry soft cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, wipe clean with a cloth
which has been dipped in a weak soap-and-water solution and wrung out thoroughly, and
then wipe again with a dry cloth.

• Never use alcohol, benzine, thinner, cleaning fluid or other chemicals.
And do not use compressed air to remove dust.

Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which have been simultaneously shot from a number
of different angles (the same scene is shot from the front, from the left side, from the right side,
etc.). With such discs, the ANGLE button can be used to view the scene from different angles.

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title is subdivided into many sections, each of which
is numbered, and specific parts of video presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.

These refer to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures and sound have been
recorded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression technology (MPEG
II) and high-density recording technology, DVD enables esthetically pleasing full-motion video to
be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be recorded).
DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs which are adhered to each other. Since
the thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the information can be recorded, a DVD disc
has a greater capacity than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are adhered to
each other, there is the potential to achieve double-sided play soemtime in the future for even
longer duration play.

This is recorded on a video CD (version 2.0). The scenes or informa-tion to be viewed (or listened
to) can be selected interactively with the TV monitor by looking at the menu shown on the TV
monitor.

These are the printed lines appearing at the bottom of the screen which translate or transcribe
the dialogue. They are recorded on DVD discs.

This indicates the play time which has elapsed from the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to
find a specific scene quickly. (It may not work with some discs.)

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. When a disc contains two or more movies, these
movies are numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are recorded on video CDs and audio CDs. They
enable specific tracks to be located quickly.

This contains recordings of pictures and sound whose quality is on a par with that of videotape.
This player also supports video CDs with playback control (version 2.0).
