Insert the two supplied batteries (AA) in

accordance with the polarity diagram inside the battery compartment.

Close the battery compartment.

Notes:

• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try replacing both batteries.

• Don’t mix new and old batteries, or different types of batteries.

• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent possible leakage and corrosion.

• Flat batteries should be removed as soon as possible to prevent possible leakage and corrosion.

Using the Remote Controller

To use the remote controller, point it at the DV-SP405’s remote control sensor, as shown below.

Notes:

• The remote controller may not work reliably if the DV-SP405 is subjected to bright light, such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind when installing the DV-SP405.

• If another remote controller of the same type is used in the same room, or the DV-SP405 is installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote controller may not work reliably.

• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote controller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently, thereby draining the batteries.

• The remote controller may not work reliably if the DV-SP405 is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing the DV-SP405.

• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obstacle between it and the DV-SP405’s remote control sensor.

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 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.

Note:

• To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV, see “Video Output settings – Component Out” on page 46.

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 OUTPUT L/R and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.

• Use a SCART cable (not supplied) to connect the AV CONNECTOR to an AV input on your TV.

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 devices. 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 5 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices 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.

• The arrow on the cable connector body should be face up for correct alignment with the connector on the player.

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 45, “HDMI Resolution” on page 46 and “HDMI Color” on page 46 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 19, 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 multichannel 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 CD recorder that’s connected to the AV receiver, and when your AV receiver has Zone2, you must connect the DV-SP405’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 a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (supplied)

to connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT 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 OUTPUT jack to an optical 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.

Tip:

• You usually have to connect the same kind of video

cable between your DVD player and AV receiver, and between your AV receiver and TV.

Resume and Last Memory

When you stop playback of a disc, RESUME is shown in the display indicating that you can resume playback again from that point.

If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you start playback the display shows RESUME and playback resumes from the resume point. With DVDs and Video CDs, if you take the disc out of the player after stopping playback, the last play position is stored in memory. If the next disc you load is the same one, the display shows LAST MEM and playback will resume. For DVD-Video discs, the player stores the play position of the last five discs. When one of these discs is next loaded, you can resume playback. If you want to clear the resume point, press (stop) while RESUME is displayed.

Notes:

• The Last Memory function doesn’t work with VR format DVD-R/-RW discs.

• If you don’t need the Last Memory function when you stop a disc, you can press (stop) button again to stop playback and then press OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc tray.

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 53.

→ 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 11.

• 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 11 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 22 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 22 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 46 to change the HDMI resolution.

Notes:

• Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD discs, Video CDs, CDs, DivX Video/WMV and MP3/WMA/MPEG-4 AAC/JPEG discs, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded.

• Some DVDs restrict the use of some functions (random or repeat, for example) in some or all parts of the disc. This is not a malfunction.

• When playing Video CD, some of the functions are not available during PBC playback. If you want to use them, start the disc playing using a number button to select a track.

• 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 45 for how to set up the digital output formats.

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

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 45).

• The effect of “Audio DRC” depends on your speakers and AV receiver settings.

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.

About DivX® VOD content

In order to play DivX VOD (video on demand) content on this player, you first need to register the player with your DivX VOD content provider. You do this by generating a DivX VOD registration code, which you submit to your provider.

Important:

• DivX VOD content is protected by a DRM (Digital Rights Management) system. This restricts playback of content to specific, registered devices.

• If you load a disc that contains DivX VOD content not authorized for your player, the message “Authorization Error” is displayed and the content will not play.

• Resetting the player (as described in “Resetting the player” in the main Operating Instructions) will not cause you to lose your registration code.

When you load a disc containing this type of DivX VOD content, the remaining number of plays is shown on-screen and you then have the option of playing the disc (thereby using up one of the remaining plays), or stopping. If you load a disc that contains expired DivX VOD content (for example, content that has zero remaining plays), the message “Rental Expired” is displayed.

If your DivX VOD content allows an unlimited number of plays, then you may load the disc into your player and play the content as often as you like, and no message will be displayed.

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 CinemaScope 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 46) of this player should be set to “16:9 (Wide)” or “16:9 (Compressed)”. When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format with the “16:9 (Wide)” setting, 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 46) 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.

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”).

Switch the player into standby.

Using the front panel buttons, hold down the (stop) button and press STANDBY/ON to switch the player back on.

All the player’s settings are now reset.

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)” or “16:9 (Compressed)” setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in a distorted picture.

STANDBY/ON

If the player is on, press STANDBY/ ON to switch it to standby.

Using the front panel controls, hold down then press STANDBY/ON to switch the TV system.

The TV system changes as follows:

AUTO NTSC PAL

DVD-Video regions

All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on the case somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the world the disc is compatible with. Your DVD player also has a region mark, which you can find on the rear panel. Discs from incompatible regions will not play in this player. In this case the attention sentence “Incompatible disc region number Can’t play disc” is displayed on screen. Discs marked “ALL” will play in any player.

The diagram below shows the various DVD regions of the world.

Selecting languages using the language code list

Some of the language options (such as “DVD Menu Lang.” in the “Initial Settings”) allow you to set your preferred language from any of the 136 languages listed in the “Language code list” on page 54.

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”.

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

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.

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-4 AAC

MPEG-4 AAC is a compressed stereo audio file format. Files are recognized by the extention ‘.m4a’. Note that some files purchased with copyright protection (such as files from the iTunes store) may not playback.

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”.

Glossary—Continued

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 content can be encoded by using Windows Media Windows Media® Player 9 Series, or Windows Media® Player 10 Series.

WMV

WMV is an acronym for Windows Media Video and refers to a video compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. Files are recognized by the file extension “.wmv”.

Player for Windows® XP,
