• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heating units as this unit's internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of the pickup.

• Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit on or above one of the speakers.

• Be sure this unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction.

• When you place this DVD Changer near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, place the DVD Changer away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

8.To Obtain a Clear Picture

The DVD Changer is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

9.Notes on Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation damages the DVD Changer. Please read the following carefully.

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the DVD Changer.

• Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.

- When you bring the DVD Changer directly from a cold place to a warm place.

- When you use the DVD Changer in a room where you just turned on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

- In summer, when you use the DVD Changer in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.

- When you use the DVD Changer in a humid place.

6.Care

From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.

7.Notes on Handling

• When shipping the DVD Changer, use the original shipping carton and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the DVD Changer. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the DVD Changer for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

• The top and rear panels of the DVD Changer may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.

• When the DVD Changer is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn off the power.

• If you do not use the DVD Changer for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD Changer occasionally.

• Do not use the DVD Changer when moisture condensation may occur. If you use the DVD Changer in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the DVD Changer to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD Changer, and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the DVD Changer will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD Changer connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

• See also the instruction manual of the connected TV on how to select the signals transmitted by the DVD Changer.

• Before connecting the DVD Changer to your TV, be sure to turn off the power to and unplug both units from the wall outlet.

• If your TV set has one audio input (monaural), connect a Y cable adapter to the DV-C600’s ANALOG OUTPUTs, and the other end of the adapter to the TV’s audio input.

• Be sure to establish a direct video connection between the DV-C600 and your TV set. Do not route the video signal through your VCR or other video component. Otherwise the picture may be distorted due to the DVD disc’s copy protection.

Page 11

Other Audio Playback Options

■ You can enjoy high-quality surround audio playback by connecting the DV-C600 to an amplifier equipped

with a Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic Surround, or DTS decoder. Furthermore you can transfer the signal of audio CDs to your amplifier in the digital domain if it is fitted with a digital input. See pages 10 for the video hookup of the DV-C600 to your TV set.

When using an optical digital cable, remove the cap from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL connector and firmly fit the cable’s jack into the connector. When not using this connector, keep it capped to protect it from dust intrusion.

Getting Started

Notes:

• Before connecting the DVD Changer to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all components from the wall outlet.

• This DVD Changer outputs a very dynamic audio signal. Be sure to set the amplifier’s volume to a moderate listening level to avoid damaging your speakers due to sudden volume surges.

• Switch off the amplifier or select another input source before connecting or disconnecting the DVD Changer’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.

Connecting to an Amplifier Equipped with a Dolby Digital Decoder

Playback of Dolby Digital-encoded discs requires that you establish a digital connection with the amplifier. The selection of the DV-C600’s DIGITAL OUTPUT depends on the type of digital input provided on your amplifier. Use either the DIGITAL OUTPUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL connector. See the amplifier’s manual for details.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a surround sound technology used in movie theaters that is now also available on equipment for a home environment. You can play back motion picture and live-concert DVD video discs of this sound format by connecting the DVD Changer to a 6-channel amplifier equipped with a Dolby Digital decoder or Dolby Digital processor. If your amplifier (or separate decoder) supports Dolby Pro Logic Surround, you can even play back Dolby Pro Logic-encoded DVD movies with full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as titles with the Dolby Surround mark.

• This functionality is only available when using DVD video discs with Dolby Digital encoding.

• Make the following settings:

Connecting to an Amplifier Equipped with Dolby Pro Logic Surround

Your DV-C600 also supports Dolby Pro Logic Surround. This effect can be obtained in one of two ways: via a digital or an analog connection with an amplifier that supports Dolby Pro Logic Surround (see below).

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

Playback of Dolby Pro Logic Surround-encoded DVD video discs requires that you connect the DV-C600 to an amplifier with right and left front speakers, a center speaker, and one or two rear speakers. Feel free to use one or two rear speakers. Be aware, though, that the output sound of the rear channel will be monaural even if you connect two rear speakers.

• If your amplifier is fitted with a digital input:

See the connection for Dolby Digital playback above and make the suggested settings. See also the amplifier’s manual for how to select its Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode.

• If your amplifier has no digital input:

Connect the DV-C600’s ANALOG OUTPUTs as shown in the illustration to the left, and make the following setting:

Setting Select: Page

Audio Out Select Analog 2ch 36

• Select the Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode on your amplifier.

Warnings

• If you connect to the digital input of an amplifier that does not have a Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder, set the DV-C600’s “Audio Out Select” function to “PCM.” Any other setting may damage your ears or speakers when using high volume levels.

• During playback of DTS-encoded audio CDs, excessive noise may be output from the ANALOG OUTPUTs. To avoid possible damage to your audio system, we recommend you either break the connection between the DVD Changer’s ANALOG OUTPUTs and the amplifier, or to only start playback of your DV-C600 after selecting the appropriate digital input source on your amplifier.

• DTS Digital Surround™ playback is only available if you connect an external 5.1-channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder to a DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the DVD Changer.

Connecting to an Amplifier Equipped with a DTS Decoder

Playback of DTS-encoded discs requires that you establish a digital connection with the amplifier.

Digital Stereo Audio Playback

The DV-C600 also allows you to output a stereo audio signal in the digital domain. The selection of the DV-C600’s DIGITAL OUTPUT depends on the type of digital input provided on your amplifier. Use either the DIGITAL OUTPUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL connector. See the amplifier’s manual for details.

Connecting to an Amplifier Equipped with a Digital Audio Input

PCM

If your amplifier provides a digital audio input, you can establish a digital connection between the DV-C600 and the amplifier. Choose this type of connection if your amplifier is equipped with a better D/A converter than your DV-C600, or if you also own a dedicated D/A converter.

• Make the following setting:

Setting Select: Page

Audio Out Select PCM 36

Notes:

• NEVER connect a DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the DVD Changer to the AC-3 RF input of a Dolby Digital Receiver. AC-3 RF inputs use a different encoding format that is not supported by the DV-C600’s DIGITAL OUTPUTs.

• The amplifier’s coaxial digital input may be labelled “DIGITAL” rather than “COAXIAL”. See its manual for details.

TITLE

To obtain a higher picture quality

Occasionally, some picture distortion not usually visible during a normal telecast may appear on the TV screen during playback of a DVD video disc. This is due to the fact that DVD videos provide a higher resolution and therefore also more data to process. While the amount of noise depends on the TV you connect the DVD Changer to, reducing the sharpness setting on your TV when viewing DVD video discs may alleviate the problem.

The letters on this menu page have the following meaning:

D: Disc number, T: Title (or Track) number, C: Chapter number.

■ Programming the D, T and C entries

Here are a few hints that explain the programming system and help you save time:

Note:

For Video and audio CDs, you can only program the disc (“D”) and Track numbers. Track numbers are assigned to the “T” entry. The “C” entry only applies to DVD video discs.

Only specify what you does need to change: Disc number: if a subsequent entry refers to the previously

selected disc number, you do not need to enter it again for the new step. (Do not change the “—” setting for “D”.) Title number (DVD video discs only): if a subsequent step refers to another Chapter of the previously selected Title, only entering the Chapter number is enough. (Do not change the “—” setting for the “D” and “T” entries.) Chapter number (DVD video discs only): if you want the DV-C600 to play back all Chapters of the selected Title, leave the “C” entry blank.

Use the numeric buttons on the remote controller to enter the numbers you wish to include in your Memory sequence.

Use the

/ buttons to move the cursor to the “D”, “T”, or “C” column, depending on whether you want to enter a disc, Title (or Track), or Chapter number.

Confirm your selection by pressing the ENTER.

The DV-C600 now jumps to the next Memory step.

Program the remaining steps.

Press the PLAY button to start playback of your memory sequence.

“Copy” the settings of the previous memory:

Doing so allows you to use the settings of the previous memory as a starting point and only change one entry. Example: if memory 1 refers to disc 3/Title 2/Chapter 25, while memory 2 needs to refer to disc 1/Title 2/Chapter 12, you can “copy” memory 1 to memory 2 and modify the “C” (chapter) entry:

• Program the memory to be copied (example: memory 1), and press the ENTER button. The DVD Changer advances to memory 2.

• Use the numeric buttons to enter the chapter number 12 on the black cursor on the “C” entry, then press the ENTER button, “D” and “T” on the memory 1 are copied to memory 2.

■ Other Memory Functions

SELECTION

Next Selection: Preparing the next Audio Track

During playback of an audio CD, you can already prepare the next track that will be played as soon as the current one is finished. The difference with direct selection of a track or disc is that playback of the prepared track starts only after the current track is finished (i.e. not right away).

During playback of an audio CD, press the NEXT SELECTION button on the DV-C600 or the remote controller to activate this function.

NEXT indicator flashes

Current disc number

Note:

This function is only available for audio CDs (when the CD indicator lights).

The NEXT indicator flashes and the disc number disappears on the display.

Use the DISC1 – 6 buttons (or DISC + and DISC –) to select the disc that contains the next track you want to listen to.

The number of the selected disc flashes on the display.

Note:

You need to press one of these buttons within 8 seconds after pressing NEXT SELECTION. Otherwise, the Next Selection function will be cancelled. In that case, start again with step 1.

If you want to play back all tracks of the selected disc, skip to step 4 without selecting a track. AL: means that all tracks will be played back.

Tip:

You can also use the DISC SKIP button on the DV-C600 to select the next disc.

Select the track using the numeric buttons.

The number of the selected track flashes on the display.

In that case, the display looks as follows:

Press the NEXT SELECTION button to confirm your selection. The disc number and track number light up continuously . After a few moments, the disc and track numbers of the currently playing track reappear.

You can check the next selection by pressing the NEXT SELECTION button.

As soon as the current track is finished, the DVD Changer will play back the prepared track (or disc if you selected “AL”).

Tip:

NEXT SELECTION is also available during Memory playback (see page 22) and Random playback (see page

26). Using Next Selection, will cancel the Memory or Random playback function, however.

■ Cancelling the Next Selection function

If you decide not to take advantage of the Next Selection function after all, proceed as follows:

1. Press the NEXT SELECTION button. The disc and song numbers flash on the display.

2. Press the CLEAR button.

3. Press the NEXT SELECTION button again. The NEXT indicator goes dark and the function is cancelled.

Notes:

• Directly selecting another disc or track with the DISC SKIP button, DISC +/–, DOWN

/UP or the numeric buttons after preparing a track with NEXT SELECTION cancels the Next Selection function.

• You can only prepare one track with Next Selection. See “Programming Memory Sequences” on page 22 for how to prepare a series of tracks. Preparing yet another track before the previously entered Next Selection command has been executed overrides your first setting, so that only the second Next Selection is carried out.

• If you stop playback by pressing the

STOP button, the Next Selection

function is cancelled.

Page 25

Using the DVD Changer as CD player

Since your DV-C600 allows you to insert up to six discs in any combination (DVD video discs, audio CDs), there may be times when you only want to listen to music and avoid having to press the DISC SKIP or DISC+ and DISC– buttons several times to skip to the next audio CD. In that case, proceed as follows:

Getting Started

CD MODE

Press the CD MODE button while the DV-C600 is stopped or playing back a CD.

The RPT message appears on the display and the REPEAT indicator lights to signal that all audio CDs will be repeated in sequence.

Disc number

Press the CD MODE button again to cancel CD Mode.

The RPT message disappears and the REPEAT indicator goes dark again to signal that the DVD Changer has returned to normal playback mode.

REPEAT lights up.Track number

Note:

The CD MODE button does not work while the DV-C600 is playing back a disc other than an audio CD. You first need to press the STOP button. Next, press the CD MODE button to enter CD Mode. The DVD Changer starts playing back the audio CD in the holder with the lowest number.

Note:

Another way of selecting only audio tracks is to take advantage of the DV-C600’s Memory function. See “Programming Memory Sequences” on page 22 for details.

Your DV-C600 allows you to select the following audio-related settings. The number of options depends on the DVD video disc you are playing back. It is not possible to select an option for which there is no data on the DVD. Language: A DVD video disc may contain several language versions of a movie.

Select the preferred language. Recording system: Select the recording system that best matches the input capabilities of your amplifier or receiver. For example, there is little point in selecting “

6CH” if your amplifier does not support Dolby Digital 5.1. Depending on the selected recording system, the DV-C600 automatically converts the audio data to an acceptable format for your amplifier.

The DV-C600 accepts the Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM recording systems. Other systems cannot be played back. See also the conversion table below for details about the available options. Dolby Digital 5.1 Channel is displayed as “

TV Shape

This is where you can specify the shape of your TV screen. This is important for determining whether you would like to see the whole picture, or a slightly bigger version.

4:3 Letterbox:

Select this setting if you own a standard 4:3 TV set and want to see the whole picture. In that case, masking bars are inserted above and below the picture.

4:3 Normal:

Select this setting for a standard 4:3 TV set if you want the picture to fill the entire screen. In that case, the left and right borders may fall outside the screen’s scope.

16:9 Widescreen:

Select this setting for a 16:9 wide-screen TV.

Notes:

• The picture size is preset on the DVD video disc. Therefore, the playback picture may not conform to the picture size you select.

• When you play DVD video discs that only contain 4:3 picture size information, any other TV Shape setting you may select is ignored.

• If you select “16:9 Widescreen” while your TV set is equipped with a 4:3 screen, the picture will be horizontally distorted (compressed) during playback. Always set the TV Shape function according to the TV set your are using.

PAL: Choose this option when you wish to watch DVD video

discs in the PAL video format. This requires that you connect the DVD Changer to a PAL television set.

Auto: The DVD Changer automatically selects either the PAL

If the DVD video disc contains some footage in the PAL format and other scenes in the NTSC system, the image may briefly distort while the DVD Changer switches to the appropriate format.

Audio Out Select

This function allows you to select the outputs and format for audio playback. Always select the setting that best matches your amplifier’s capabilities and input connectors. The “Bitstream” and “PCM” options refer to the DV-C600’s digital outputs. See also “Other Audio Playback Options” on page 11.

Bitstream: Select this option if your amplifier is equipped

with a digital input (optical or coaxial) and a Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG1, or MPEG2 decoder. The DV-C600 outputs digital audio information in the Bitstream format when you play back a DVD video disc with Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG1, or MPEG2 encoding.

Analog2Ch: Select this option if the DV-C600 is connected

to the audio inputs of your TV set, or an analog input pair of your external amplifier. Note that even this analog connection may allow you to take advantage of the amplifier’s Dolby Pro Logic processor.

PCM: Select this option if the DV-C600 is connected

to a digital input of your amplifier and if you would like the sound to be played back in stereo (e.g. for audio CDs). If you select “PCM”, the audio data of DVD video discs with Dolby Digital, MPEG1, or MPEG2 encoding is automatically converted to 2-channel PCM, so that you lose the surround information. See also the table on page 29.

Dynamic Range Control

DVD

Karaoke Vocal

DVD

DVD Karaoke discs sometimes also contain a vocal track you probably don’t need for Karaoke applications. That is why the DV-C600 allows you to switch the lead vocal off.

Off: The lead vocal track is muted. On: If available on the selected DVD Karaoke disc, the lead

vocal track is output.

Notes:

• The Karaoke Vocal feature is only available during playback of Dolby Digital-encoded (multi-channel) DVD Karaoke discs.

• For optimum Karaoke enjoyment, be sure to use appropriate audio equipment, such as an external amplifier.

Extended Audio Feature

Some DVD video discs contain a special track that describes the on-screen actions for visually impaired persons. Your DVC600 is set to automatically output this track if available. If this is not necessary, switch this function off.

Off: The Extended Audio Feature track is muted. On: The Extended Audio Feature is active.

DVD

Dynamic Range Control allows you to “compress” the dynamic range of a DVD’s sound track, so that you can lower the volume without losing extremely soft signals. This is especially useful when you are watching a movie late at night.

Off: The full dynamic range is maintained. On: Low-level signals are slightly boosted so as to remain

audible at a low volume setting.

Notes:

• This function is only available during playback of Dolby Digitalencoded DVD video discs.

• The degree of dynamic range reduction may differ depending on the DVD video disc.

Screen Saver

The screen saver function protects your TV screen from burnin of images that are displayed for too long. If you also work with a computer, you probably know how it works. The screen saver is especially useful if you often use the Pause (“still”) function and tend to forget to switch it off. See page 16.

Parental Lock

DVD video discs equipped with the Parental Lock function allow you to decide what exactly can be viewed on your DVC600, which is especially useful if you have children. For example: you could select a level where violent scenes unsuitable for children are skipped and replaced with more suitable scenes, or prevent playback of a disc altogether. Whether the Parental Lock function actually works depends on the DVD video disc in question, because it needs to contain the software capable of responding to this function. Parental Lock is secured by means of a 4-digit code to avoid that your children bypass this function. Ask your dealer or rental service for details about the Parental Lock support of a given DVD video disc. Also note that the meaning of the Parental Lock levels depends on the country whose rating standards are used by the DVD video disc.

Off: The Parental Lock feature is not active. To select the

“Off” setting, perform steps 1 and 2 below.

On: Switching on Parental Lock involves specifying the

highest level that can be viewed. You cannot just switch this function on without selecting a level. Careful: if you only carry out steps 1 and 2, Parental Lock will be switched off. Be sure to perform steps 1 – 4 below.
