Precautions
For British models
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the
power supply cord of this unit should be performed
only by qualified service personnel.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected
to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
coloured black.

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.

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:

Connections —Continued
Connecting your television
Here’s how to connect the DV-S155X to your television so you can view DVD and other
images. The connection method depends on the type of connector you use. Depending on the
connectors that your television has, connect either the component jacks, the S-video jack, or the
composite jack.
If your television has component video input jacks
Use commercially-available component video connection cables to connect the DV-S155X’s
component video output jacks to the component video inputs of your television.

To switch the video output type
If your television supports progressive-scan video, you can use the PROGRESSIVE button on
the DV-S155X or on the remote to switch the video output type. Do this while playback is
stopped.
Progressive (NTSC only):
This is the higher-quality mode that produces a sharper image. Choose this if you’ve connected
a television that supports progressive input. The “PROGRESSIVE” indicator in the display area
will light.
Interlaced (default setting):
Choose this if you’ve connected a television that does not support progressive video input.
Note
• If you choose Progressive when the DV-S155X is connected to a television that doesn’t support progressive input, the image will not be output correctly. Press the remote’s PROGRESSIVE button to turn off progressive mode.
• The image may be garbled when you switch between progressive and interlaced modes.
Regarding the DV-S155X’s compatibility with progressive-scan televisions
At present, some progressive-scan televisions are not completely compatible with the
DV-S155X, and can produce garbled images. If you experience problems when using progressive playback, turn off progressive mode on the DV-S155X and use the progressive function
provided on your television.

Connecting your amp
• Refer to the Instruction Manual of your amp as well as the instructions given here.
• Before you make connections, turn off the power of all the equipment you’re going to connect, and disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets. Don’t plug in the DV-S155X’s
power cord yet.
• When making connections, make sure that the plug is
inserted all the way into the jack.
Note
Since the DV-S155X contains components that are vulnerable to heat, don’t place it on top of an
amp or other source of heat. Doing so can cause malfunctions.
Connect an amp that supports Dolby Digital or DTS, such as the PR-155X
This allows you to enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS audio.
Connect the audio inputs of your television
Connecting the PR-155X
Use an optical cable to connect the DV-S155X’s AUDIO OUTPUT DIGITAL OPTICAL jack
to the optical digital input jack of your amp.
Use the included audio connection cable to connect the DV-S155X’s AUDIO OUTPUT ANALOG jacks to the audio input jacks of your amp.
Tip
You can enjoy 5.1 ch playback with DVD video simply by connecting the digital jack. However
you will need to make the analog connections as well if you want to perform analog recording
from the DV-S155X onto an MD recorder or other device connected to the amp, or in order to
enable system operation with an Onkyo-manufactured amp.

PAL Output Setting
With this setting you can specify how the DV-S155X outputs video signals when playing NTSC
discs
format
Auto (default):
Use this option if your TV or projector supports PAL
and NTSC. When you play a PAL disc, the video output will be PAL. When you play an NTSC disc, it’ll
be NTSC. The DV-S155X does not convert the format.
PAL:
Use this option if your TV doesn’t support NTSC
playback, or the picture is distorted when watching
NTSC discs. The DV-S155X will convert NTSC format video to a PAL-compatible format known as Mod
PA L or 60 Hz PAL .
Note
This setting can be changed only when playback is stopped.
Audio Settings
Digital Out/Digital1
Digital Out/Digital2
You’ll need to perform this procedure if you’ve connected the DV-S155X to an amp that does
not support digital signals, or to an MD recorder. The signal you specify for Digital Out/
Digital1 will be output from the DIGITAL OPTICAL jack. The signal you specify for Digital
Out/Digital2 will be output from the DIGITAL COAXIAL jack.
• Dolby Digital output
Dolby Digital:
Choose this setting if you’ve connected the
DV-S155X to an AV amp or decoder that supports Dolby Digital. (This is the default setting.)
Dolby Digital > PCM:
Dolby Digital signals will be converted to linear
PCM signals for output. Choose this setting if
you’ve connected the DV-S155X to an AV amp
that doesn’t support Dolby Digital.
Tip
If you’ve connected the DV-S155X to an MD recorder, choosing the “Dolby Digital > PCM” setting for the
digital jack (Digital 1 or 2) to which the recorder is connected will allow you to convert the Dolby Digital
signal into PCM and record it on your MD recorder.
• MPEG output
MPEG:
Choose this if you’ve connected the DV-S155X to an AV amp that supports MPEG.
MPEG>PCM:
MPEG signals will be converted to linear PCM for output. Choose this if you’ve connected
the DV-S155X to an AV amp that doesn’t support MPEG. (This is the default setting.)

48 kHz for output, or is output as analog audio.
• This setting applies to both “Digital Out/Digital1” and “Digital Out/Digital2.”
Dynamic Range Control setting
The Dynamic Range Control setting lets you compress the audio so that loud sounds will be
softer and soft sounds will be louder. This is convenient when you find it difficult to hear the
dialog of a movie, or when watching a movie late at night.
Off (default):
Dynamic Range Control will be off.
On:
Dynamic Range Control will be on. Loud sounds
such as explosions will be softer, and dialog will be
easier to hear.

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-to-digital 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”.
82
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.
DV-S155X-En.book Page 83 Saturday, July 24, 2004 2:20 PM
Glossary —Continued
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 nor-
mally 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.
