Handling Discs
•Never touch the underside of a disc. Always hold discs
by the edge, as shown.
Underside
•Never attach adhesive tape or sticky labels to discs.
Cleaning Discs
•For best results, keep your discs clean. Fingerprints
and dust can affect the sound and picture quality and
should be removed as follows. Using a clean soft
cloth, wipe from the center outwards, as shown. Never
wipe in a circular direction.
Storing Discs
• Don’t store discs in places subject to direct sunlight,
or near heat sources.
• Don’t store discs in places subject to moisture or dust,
such as in a bathroom or near a humidifier.
•Always store discs in their cases and vertically. Stacking, or putting objects on unprotected discs may cause
warping, scratches, or other damage.
✔
•To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a
damp soft cloth, and then dry it with a dry cloth.
•Never use solvent-based cleaning fluids, such as thinner or benzine, commercially available cleaners, or
antistatic sprays intended for vinyl records, because
they may damage the disc.

Important:
• 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 44) to “Progressive.”
To power outlet
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 “OFF” 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.
1. Connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO OUT
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 page 20 if you want to use a component, SVideo cable or SCART cable for the video connection.
2. Oceanian and European models:
Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC
INLET, then plug into a power outlet.

• 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.
Notes for North American model:
• When Component Out (page 44) is set to Progressive,
there is no video output from the VIDEO OUT (composite) and S VIDEO OUT jacks.
• If you want to display video on more than one monitor
simultaneously, make sure the player is set to Interlace.
Compatibility of this player with
progressive-scan and high-definition TVs
This player is compatible with progressive video Macro
Vision System Copy Guard.

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 (not European model)
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 (not supplied) to connect the S
VIDEO OUT 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.

Note:
•To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV,
see “Video Out settings – Component Out” on
page 44.
Using SCART (European model only)
If your TV has a SCART-type AV input, you can use a
SCART cable to connect this player to your TV. This
type of connection carries both the sound and the picture, so there’s no need to connect up the AUDIO OUT
L/R and VIDEO OUT jacks.
• Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to connect the AV
CONNECTOR to an AV input on your TV.
Using Component Video
You can use the component video output instead of the
standard video out jack to connect this player to your TV
(or other equipment).
This should give you a better quality picture than an SVideo connection.
• Use a component video cable (not supplied) to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a component video input on your TV, monitor or AV
receiver.

About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports
both video and audio on a single digital connection for
use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV
components. HDMI was developed to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection
(HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one
specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content
transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced,
or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel
surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes
per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead
of several cables and connectors), and communication
between the AV source and AV components such as
DTVs.
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia
Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of
HDMI licensing LLC.
Resetting the output resolution to the default setting
with HDMI connection
Switch the player to standby then, using the front panel
controls, press STANDBY/ON while pressing to
switch the player back to 576P/480P.
STANDBY/ON
Notes:
• The player has been designed to be compliant with
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface).
Depending on the component you have connected,
using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal
transfers.
• When you change the component connected to the
HDMI output, you will also need to change the HDMI
settings to match the new component (see HDMI Out
on page 43, HDMI Resolution on page 44 and HDMI
Color on page 44 to do this).
However, the settings for each component are then
stored in memory (for up to 2 components).
• The HDMI connection is compatible with 44.1 kHz/
48 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit 2 channel linear PCM signals, as well as Doldy Digital, DTS and MPEG audio
bitstream.

Connecting to an AV Receiver
Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound
from the TV speakers with the connections on page 18,
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.
Oceanian model has both coaxial and optical digital
jacks; use whichever is convenient.
North American and European models have only coaxial
digital jack.
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-SP404/DV-SP404E’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).
1. Connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack on this
player to a digital input on your AV receiver.
This enables you to listen to surround sound.
For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (supplied)
to connect the “COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT”
jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.
For an optical connection (Oceanian model only), use an
optical cable (not supplied) to connect the “OPTICAL
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT” jack to an optical input on your
AV receiver.
2. Connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUT L/R and
VIDEO OUT jacks on this player to a set of analog audio and video inputs on your AV receiver.

Hint:
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a
few seconds!
Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your
→
player. The region number should be printed on
the disc; check it against the region number of the
player (which you can find on the rear panel). See
also DVD-Video regions on page 50.
→
If the region number is OK, it may be that the disc
is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc and look for
signs of damage. See also Taking care of your
player and discs on page 10.
•Why won’t the disc I loaded play?
→
First check that you loaded the disc the right way
up (label side up), and that it’s clean and undamaged. See Taking care of your player and discs on
page 10 for information on cleaning discs.
→
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s probably
an incompatible format or disc type, such as
DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM. See Supported Discs
on page 8 for more on disc compatibility.
•I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at
the top and bottom of the screen when I play some
discs?
→
Some movie formats are such that even when
played on a widescreen TV, black bars are necessary at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not
a malfunction.
•I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the player to show
widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so why do I
still get black bars top and bottom with some discs?
Some discs override the display preferences of the
→
player, so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan)
selected, those discs will still be shown in letter
box format.
This is not a malfunction.
•I’ve connected to a HDMI compatible component but
I can’t get any signal and the front panel HDMI indicator won’t light!
→
Make sure that you’ve selected this player as the
HDMI input in the settings for the component
you’re using. You may need to refer to the instruction manual of the component to do this. See Connecting using HDMI on page 21 for more on
HDMI compatibility.
• There’s no picture from the HDMI output!
This player cannot display pictures from DVI
→
compatible sources. See Connecting using HDMI
on page 21 for more on HDMI compatibility.
Make sure the resolution on this player matches
that of the component you have connected using
HDMI. See HDMI Resolution on page 44 to
change the HDMI resolution.

Dialog
• Settings: High, Medium, Low, Off (default)
The Dialog feature is designed to make the dialog stand
out from other background sounds in the soundtrack.
Audio DRC
• Settings: High, Medium, Low, Off (default)
When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume, it’s
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 43).
• The effect of Audio DRC depends on your speakers
and AV receiver settings.
Virtual Surround
• Settings: On, Off (default)
Switch on Virtual Surround to enjoy realistic
surround sound effects from just two speakers.
Notes:
•Virtual Surround doesn’t work with DTS, through
either the analog or digital outputs.
• 96kHz linear PCM audio is automatically downsampled to 48kHz if Virtual Surround is switched on.
• If the player is outputting Dolby Digital, DTS or
MPEG bitstream audio (in other words, no conversion
to PCM), Virtual Surround has no effect on the audio
from the digital output. See Digital Audio Out settings
on page 43 for how to set up the digital output formats.
•How good the surround effect is varies with the disc.

Additional information
Screen sizes and disc formats
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 44) 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 44) 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.
Resetting the player
Use this procedure to reset all the player’s settings to the
factory default.
1
2
Switch the player into standby.
Using the front panel buttons, hold
down the button and press
STANDBY/ON to switch the player
back on.
All the player’s settings are now reset.
Setting the TV system (Not North
American model)
The default setting of this player is “AUTO”, and unless
you notice that the picture is distorted when playing
some discs, you should leave it set to “AUTO”. 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 (“AUTO” , “PAL” and
“NTSC”).
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

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”.
*1
DivX
DivX is a media technology created by DivX,
Inc. DivX media files contain compressed video. DivX
files can also include advanced media features like
menus, subtitles, and alternate audiotracks.
Dolby Digital
*2
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).
*3
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 cinemalike 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.
*4
HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a highspeed digital interface which has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or highdefinition video plus
standard to multichannel surround-sound audio on a single digital connection. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes
per second and communication between the AV source
and AV devices such as DTVs.
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”.

Progressive scan video
All the lines that make up a video picture are updated in
one pass (compared to interlace which takes two passes
to update the whole picture).
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.
