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.

• 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.)

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), 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.

If you need another pair of stereo outputs (and don’t need to use the multichannel analog outputs), you can use the FRONT/D.MIX 1 or 2 AUDIO OUTPUT jacks (page 22).

Note:

• Watching progressive scan video from the component video outputs This player can output progressive scan video from the component video output. Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, ﬂicker-free image. To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV, see Video Output settings on page 46. When the player is set to output progressive scan video, the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights in the front panel display.

Important:

• 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 21).

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 (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 the best quality picture from the three types of video output available.

• Use a component video cable (not supplied) to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to a component video input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver.

Connecting to an AV Receiver

You can connect this player to your AV receiver using the multichannel analog outputs or one of the digital outputs. In addition to these connections, you should also connect the 2 channel analog outputs for compatibility with all discs. 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.

Before connecting

• When you connect the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E 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.

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-SP502/DV-SP502E’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).

Connecting the Digital Output

This player has both optical and coaxial-type digital audio outputs for connection to an AV receiver. Connect whichever is convenient.

In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also connecting using the stereo analog connection.

Depending on the capabilities of your AV receiver, you might have to set up this player to output only digital audio in a compatible format. See Digital Audio Out settings on page 46 and refer to the operating instructions that came with your AV receiver.

Resume and Last Memory DVD disc menus

With the exception of DVD-Audio and SACD discs, 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. (If you want to clear the resume point, press (stop) while RESUME is displayed.)

If you take a VCD 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 (except VR mode DVD-RW), the player stores the play position of the last ﬁve discs. When one of these discs is next loaded, you can resume playback.

Notes:

• The Last Memory function doesn’t work with VR format DVD-RW, DVD-Audio or SACD discs.

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

Many DVD-Video and DVD-Audio discs feature menus from which you can select what you want to watch.

They may also give access to additional features, such as subtitle and audio language selection, or special features such as slideshows. See the disc packaging for details.

Sometimes DVD-Video menus are displayed automatically when you start playback; others only appear when you press MENU or TOP MENU.

About DivX Playing DivX video

DivX is a compressed digital video format created by the

DivX

video codec from DivXNetworks, Inc. This player can play DivX video ﬁles burned on CD-R/RW/ ROM discs. Keeping the same terminology as DVDVideo, individual DivX video ﬁles are called “Titles.” When naming ﬁles/titles on a CD-R/RW disc prior to burning, keep in mind that by default they will be played in alphabetical order.

DivX video compatibility

• Ofﬁcial DivX® Certiﬁed product.

• Plays DivX

video content (in compliance with DivX technical requirements).

• File extensions: .avi and .divx (these must be used for

the player to recognize DivX video ﬁles). Note that all ﬁles with the .avi extension are recognized as MPEG4, but not all of these are necessarily DivX video ﬁles and therefore may not be playable on this player.

• Media: ISO 9660* formatted CD-R/RW/ROM

* ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2 compliant. CD physical format:

Mode1, Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet ﬁle systems are both compatible with this player.

• Multi-session playback: No

• Unﬁnalized disc playback: No

• File structure: Up to 299 folders; up to 648 folders and

ﬁles combined per folder.

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.

Displaying your DivX VOD registration code

SETUP

Press SETUP and select “Initial Settings”.

Playing DivX®VOD content

Some DivX VOD content may only be playable a ﬁxed number of times. 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.

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 46).

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

Notes:

• Even if you set Audio Output Mode to 5.1 Channel, you’ll only get sound from all speakers when playing a 5.1 channel multichannel disc.

• When set to 5.1 Channel, only the front left/right channels are output from the AUDIO OUT (2ch) jacks. Change to 2 Channel if you want to listen to downmixed stereo audio (for example, because you are listening through the TV’s built-in speakers).

• When set to 5.1 Channel there is no digital output when playing DVD-Audio.

• If you set to 2 Channel, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio is mixed down to two channels so you still hear all the audio recorded on the disc. With DTS encoded audio, you can choose how the signal is downmixed to PCM audio. See DTS Downmix above to change the downmix setting.

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 46) 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 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.

FAQ

My DV-SP502/DV-SP502E switches on but there is nothing displayed on my TV.

• Make sure that the TV is set to the correct video input (not a TV channel). For example, if you connected this player to the VIDEO 1 inputs on your TV, switch your TV to VIDEO 1.

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 55. 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 “Handling 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 “Cleaning 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-ROM. See “Supported Discs” on page 9 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.

My AV receiver is deﬁnitely compatible with 96/88.2kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesn’t seem to work with this player. What’s wrong?

• For digital copy-protection purposes, some 96/88.2kHz DVD discs only output digital audio downsampled to 48/

44.1kHz. This is not a malfunction. To fully take advantage of the high sampling rate audio, connect the analog audio outputs to your ampliﬁer/receiver.

Why can’t I hear SACD audio through the digital outputs?

• SACD audio is only available through the analog outputs. This is not a malfunction. Some DVD-Audio discs too only output audio through the analog outputs.

Is it better to listen to DVD-Audio discs through the analog outputs?

• Some DVD-Audio discs do not output anything through the digital outputs, and multichannel discs are downmixed to stereo for the digital output. In addition, high sampling rate DVD-Audio discs (higher than 96kHz) automatically downsample audio output from the digital outputs. Using the multichannel analog audio outputs for DVD-Audio have none of these limitations.

My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then suddenly stops!

• The disc may have been illegally copied.

Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using your DV-SP502/DV-SP502E, check the following table for possible causes and remedies. If you still can’t resolve the issue yourself, please contact your Onkyo dealer.

Settings are canceled.

• When the power is cut due to power failure or by unplugging the power cord, settings will be canceled: Press. STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the player off. Wait for --GOOD BYE-- to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cord.

No picture/No color.

• Incorrect video connections: Check that connections are correct and that plugs are inserted fully. Also check the video cable for damage.

• TV/monitor or AV ampliﬁer settings are incorrect: Check the instruction manual of the connected equipment.

• The video output is set to progressive but your TV/monitor is not compatible with progressive scan: See page 21 for how to set to interlace.

Screen is stretched or aspect does not change.

• The TV Screen setting in the Initial Settings menu is incorrect. See page 54 for how to set it correctly for your TV/ monitor.

Picture disturbance during playback or the picture is dark.

• This player is compatible with Macro-Vision System copy guard. Some discs include a copy prevention signal, and when this type of disc is played back, stripes etc., may appear on some sections of the picture depending on the TV. This is not a malfunction.

• Due to the player’s copy protection circuits, connection of this device through a VCR or an AV selector may prevent recording or cause picture problems. This is not a malfunction.

No audio, or audio is distorted.

• No audio is output during slow motion playback or when scanning discs other than audio CDs and SACDs.

• Some DVD discs do not output digital audio: Switch your ampliﬁer to the player’s analog outputs.

• Check that the disc is free from dust and dirt, and that it is not damaged (page 10).

• Check that all interconnects are ﬁrmly inserted.

• Check that the plugs and terminals are free of dirt, oxide, etc. and clean if necessary. Also check the cable for damage.

• Make sure the player’s output is not connected to the ampliﬁer’s phono (turntable) inputs.

• Check your ampliﬁer/receiver’s settings (volume, input function, speaker settings, etc.).

Troubleshooting—Continued

The analog audio is OK, but there appears to be no digital audio signal.

• Make sure that the Digital Out setting is set to On (page 46).

• Check that the Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG out settings (page 46) are suitable for your ampliﬁer/receiver/check the instruction manual that came with your ampliﬁer/receiver.

• SACDs and some DVD-Audio discs do not output digital audio. Listen through the player’s analog audio outputs.

Noticeable difference in DVD and CD volume.

• This is due to differences in the audio format and is not a malfunction.

Cannot play multichannel audio

• Make sure that Audio Output Mode is set to 5.1 Channel (page 52).

• Check that the Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG Out settings (page 46) are suitable for your ampliﬁer/receiver—check the instruction manual that came with your ampliﬁer/receiver.

• DVD-Audio and SACDs do not output multichannel digital audio. Listen through the player’s analog outputs.

• Check that the settings in the Speaker Installation screen are correct (page 52).

• Check the audio options available from the disc menu.

Cannot listen to highsampling rate audio through the digital output.

• Make sure that Linear PCM Out is set to Downsample Off (page 46).

• As a copy-protection measure, some DVDs do not output 96kHz audio. In this case, even if set to Downsample Off, the player automatically outputs the audio at 48 kHz. This is not a malfunction.

Cannot output 192kHz or 176.4kHz digital audio.

• The player does not output digital audio at these sampling rates. The digital output is automatically downsampled.

Cannot output 96kHz or 88.2kHz digital audio.

• Check that Linear PCM Out is set to Downsample Off (page 46).

• Some discs are digital copy protected and do not output high sampling rate digital audio. In this case the output is automatically downsampled.

No DTS audio output.

• If this unit is connected to a non-DTS compatible ampliﬁer or decoder using a digital audio cable, set DTS Out to DTS > PCM (page 46). If you do not do this, noise will be output when you play a DTS disc.

• If this unit is connected to a DTS-compatible ampliﬁer or decoder using a digital audio cable, check the ampliﬁer settings, and that the cable is properly connected.

Audio mix does not sound right or sounds incomplete (for example, inaudible dialog).

• Make sure that Audio Output Mode is set to 2 Channel if you’ve connected to the stereo inputs on your ampliﬁer or TV (page 52).

Troubleshooting—Continued

Remote Controller

Buttons on the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E work OK but those on the remote controller don’t?

• There are no batteries in the remote controller. Install new batteries (page 11).

• The batteries are ﬂat. Replace with new batteries (page 11).

• The batteries are installed incorrectly. Check the batteries and correct as necessary (page 11).

• You’re not pointing the remote controller at the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E’s remote sensor. Point the remote controller at the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E’s remote sensor (page 11).

• You’re too far away from the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E. Use the remote controller closer to the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E (page 11). The remote controller has a range of approximately 16 ft (5 meters).

• A strong light source is interfering with the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E’s remote sensor. Make sure that the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E is not subjected to direct sunshine or inverter-type ﬂuorescent lights. Relocate if necessary.

• If the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E is installed in a cabinet with colored glass doors, the remote controller may not work reliably when the doors are closed. Open the doors, or use a cabinet without colored glass.

The DV-SP502/DV-SP502E contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely even that this should happen, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least ﬁve seconds, and then plug it back in again.
