Precautions —Continued
5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands
Never handle this unit or its power cord while your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.
6. Installing this Unit
• Install this unit in a well-ventilated location. Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation all around
this unit, especially if it’s installed in an audio rack. If the ventilation is inadequate, the unit may overheat, leading to malfunction.
• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat sources, because its internal temperature may rise, shortening the life of the optical pickup.
•Avoid damp and dusty places, and places subject to vibrations from loudspeakers. Never put the unit on top of, or directly above a loudspeaker.
• Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its side or on a sloping surface, because it may cause a malfunc­tion.
• If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the picture and sound quality may be affected. If this occurs, move this unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.
7. Care
Occasionally, you should dust this unit all over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth damp­ened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a clean cloth. Do not use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because they may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.
8. Handling Notes
• If you need to transport this unit, use the original pack­aging to pack it how it was when you originally bought it.
• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect sprays, near this unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit for a long time, because they may leave marks on the case.
• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm after pro­longed use. This is normal.
• When you’ve finished using this unit, remove all discs and turn off the power.
• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure to use it occasionally.
9. To Obtain a Clear Picture
This unit is a high-tech, precision device. If the lens on the optical pickup, or the disc drive mechanism becomes dirty or worn, the picture quality may be affected. To maintain the best picture quality, we recom­mend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. Contact your Onkyo dealer for details.
10. Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation may damage this unit.
Read the following carefully: When you take a glass containing a cold drink outside on a summer’s day, drops of water, called condensation, form on the outside of the glass. Similarly, moisture may condense on the lens of the optical pickup, one of the most important parts inside this unit.
• Moisture condensation can occur in the following sit­uations:
— The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm
place.
—A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air con-
ditioner is hitting the unit.
— In the summer, when this unit is moved from an
air conditioned room to a hot and humid place.
— The unit is used in a humid place.
• Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility of moisture condensation occurring. Doing so may dam­age your discs and certain parts inside this unit.
If condensation does occur, remove all discs and leave this unit turned on for two to three hours. By this time, the unit will have warmed up and any con­densation will have evaporated. To reduce the risk of condensation, keep this unit connected to a wall out­let.

Before Making Any Connections

• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed all audio and video connections.
Optical Digital Inputs
The DV-SP402E’s optical digital connectors have a shut­ter-type cover that opens when an optical plug is inserted, and closes when it’s removed. Push the plug in all the way.

AV Cables & Connectors

RCA/phono AV Connection Color Coding
RCA/phono AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right­channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs.
Right (red)
Left (white)
(Yellow)
• Push each plug in all the way to make a good connection (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).
•To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

• This player is equipped with copy protection technol­ogy. Do not connect this player to your TV via a VCR using AV cables, as the picture from this player will not appear properly on your TV. (This player may also not be compatible with some combination TV/VCRs for the same reason; refer to the manufacturer for more information.)
• When connecting to your TV as shown above, do not set the “Component Out” setting (page 41) to “Pro­gressive.”
1. Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT and AUDIO OUT-
PUT ANALOG L/R jacks to a set of A/V inputs on your TV.
Use the supplied AV cable (RCA/phono), connecting the red and white plugs to the audio outputs and the yellow plug to the video output. Make sure you match up the left and right audio outputs with their corresponding inputs for correct stereo sound. See the following page if you want to use a compo­nent or S-Video cable for the video connection.
2. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC

Notes:
• Before unplugging the player from the power outlet, make sure you first switch it into standby using either the front panel STANDBY/ON button, or the remote controller, and wait of the “GOOD BYE” message to disappear from the player’s display.
•For the above reasons, do not plug this player into a switched power supply found on some amplifiers and AV receivers.
Important:
• When Component Out (page 41) is set to Progressive, there is no video output from the VIDEO OUTPUT (composite) and S VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.
• If you want to display video on more than one monitor simultaneously, make sure the player is set to Inter­lace.
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a pro­gressive scan signal and switch the player to progres­sive, you will not be able to see any picture at all. In this case, switch everything off and reconnect using the supplied video cable, then switch back to Interlace (see page 18).

Connecting Your TV

• Connect the DVD Player to the TV directly. If you connect the DVD Player to a VCR, TV/VCR combina­tion, or video selector, the playback picture may be distorted as DVD videos are copy protected.
Using S-Video
If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-Video input, you can use this instead of the standard (composite) out­put for a better quality picture.
• Use an S-Video cable (supplied) to connect the S VIDEO OUTPUT to an S-Video input on your TV (or monitor or AV receiver).
Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same mark on the plug before plugging in.

Connecting the DV-SP402E—Continued

Connecting to an AV Receiver

Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound from the TV speakers with the connections on page 17, connecting with an amplifier provides you high quality dynamic sounds.
To reproduce Dolby Digital surround and DTS surround sound, you need to connect to an amplifier with a Dolby Digital and DTS decoder respectively.
Before connecting
• When you connect the DVD Player to the amplifier, be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the mains before making any connections. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.
• Connect the plugs securely.
To enjoy surround sound you need to connect this player to an AV receiver using a digital output. This player has both coaxial and optical digital jacks; use whichever is convenient.
In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also connecting using the stereo analog connection.
To record the audio from a CD-R disc etc. to a cassette or CDR recorder that’s connected to the AV receiver, and when your AV receiver has Zone2, you must connect the DV-SP402E’s analog audio outputs to the AV receiver.
You’ll probably also want to connect a video output to your AV receiver. You can use any of the video outputs available on this player (the illustration shows a standard (composite) connection).
This enables you to listen to surround sound. For an optical connection, use an optical cable (not sup-
plied) to connect the “OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” jack to an optical input on your AV receiver.
For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (similar to the supplied video cable) to connect the “COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.
2. Connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT L/R and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on this player to a set of analog audio and video inputs on your AV receiver.

easy to lose the quieter sounds completely—including some of the dialog. Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Control) to on can help by bringing up the quieter sounds, while controlling loud peaks.
How much of a difference you hear depends on the mate­rial you’re listening to. If the material doesn’t have wide variations in volume, you may not notice much change.
Notes:
• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources.
• Audio DRC is only effective through the digital output when Digital Out is set to On, and Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby Digital > PCM (see “Digital Audio Out settings” on page 41).

Additional information

Screen sizes and disc formats Resetting the player

DVD-Video discs come in several different screen aspect ratios, ranging from TV programs, which are generally 4:3, to Cinema- Scope widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.
Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios; “stan­dard” 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
Widescreen TV users
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 41) of this player should be set to “16:9 (Wide)”.
When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture is pre­sented. Your TV may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details.
Please note that some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even though you have a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a “letter box” style with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the “TV Screen” setting (page 41) of this player should be set to “4:3 (Letter Box)” or “4:3 (Pan&Scan)”, depending on which you prefer.
Set to “4:3 (Letter Box)”, widescreen discs are shown with black bars top and bottom.
Use this procedure to reset all the player’s settings to the factory default.

ST
Switch the player into standby.
Using the front panel buttons, hold down the button and press STANDBY/ON to switch the player back on.
Set to “4:3 (Pan&Scan)”, widescreen discs are shown with the left and right sides cropped.
Although the picture looks larger, you don’t actually see the whole picture.
Please note that many widescreen discs override the player’s settings so that the disc is shown in letter box format regardless of the setting.
Note:
• Using the “16:9 (Wide)” setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or either of the “4:3” settings with a widescreen TV, will result in a distorted picture.

Glossary

Analog audio
An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Com­pare this to digital audio which can be an electrical sig­nal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also “Digital audio”.
Aspect ratio
The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conven­tional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).
Digital audio
An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to­digital converter, generating a stream of numbers.
On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also “Sam­pling frequency” and “Analog audio”.
Dolby Digital
Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this high quality surround system is used in many of the finer movie theaters around the world.
The on-screen display shows which channels are active, for example showing 3/2.1. The 3 being the two front channels and the center channel; the 2 being the surround channels, and the .1 being the LFE channel.
DRM
DRM (digital rights management) is a type of server software developed to enable secure distribution of paid content over the web, recently incorporated by WMA (Windows Media Audio).
DTS
DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has become a popular surround sound format for movies.
Dynamic range
The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting lost in noise).
Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a very wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File)
A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for digital still cameras. Digital cameras from various manufactur­ers use this compressed file format which carries date, time and thumbnail information, as well as the picture data.
File extension
A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type of file. For example, “.mp3” indicates an MP3 file.
ISO 9660 format
International standard for the volume and file structure of CD-ROM discs.
JPEG
A file format used for still images, such as photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are identified by the file extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”. Most digital cameras use this format.
MP3
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file format. Files are recognized by their file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.
MPEG audio
An audio format used on Video CDs and some DVD discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio to PCM format for wider compatibility with digital recorders and AV amplifiers. See also “PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)”.
MPEG video
The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. Video CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard.
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)
A system of navigating a Video CD through on-screen menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs that you would normally not watch from beginning to end all at once—karaoke discs, for example.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to PCM. See also “Digital audio”.
Regions (DVD-Video only)
These associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have com­patible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions).
Sampling frequency
The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality, but the more digital information is gener­ated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of
44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements) per second. See also “Digital audio”.
WMA
WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and refers to an audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 8 or Windows Media Player for Windows XP.
