Introduction 5

Welcome!

This DVD-Video Player/5-Disc Changer will allow you to enjoy better picture quality,
clearer sound, and endless playback features available on Digital Versatile Discs (DVDs).
Expanding technology allows you to add options to your viewing - watch a director’s
cut of a movie, listen to the producer’s comments, or play your favorite scene over and
over again. Hear a movie in different languages, or listen only to the soundtrack. The
possibilities are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the DVD.
Of course, you can listen to your favorite Audio Compact Discs on this DVD Changer
as well. Determine the order in which you want to hear the songs, or play the Disc
repeatedly - all while seeing the status of the CD on your television.
We hope you enjoy this DVD Changer and learn to use all of its features. To get the
most out of the DVD Changer, read this owner’s manual carefully. It will describe how
you can access all the features listed below.

is set up in the DVD Changer’s menu, it may not be available if the current Disc does

All features described in this manual are not available on every DVD or
Audio CD. If the feature is not available on the Disc, you cannot use the

6 Playable Discs

Region Codes

DVDs also must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on this DVD
Changer. You can not play Discs that are labeled for other regions.
Look for the symbols below on your DVDs. If these region symbols do not appear on
your DVD, you cannot play the DVD in this DVD Changer.

The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 represents the
United States, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
and small regions near Australia.
A Disc encoded in a specific region format can only be played on DVD Changers with the
same region code. For example, if a Disc is labeled for Region 2, you can not play the
DVD on this DVD Changer.

Color Systems

Different color systems are available throughout the world. The most common color sys­tems are NTSC, which is used primarily in the United States and North America, PAL,
and SECAM.
This DVD Changer uses the NTSC color system. Therefore, the Discs that you play must
be recorded in the NTSC system. You cannot play Discs recorded in other formats. The
color system of the DVD may be listed on the DVD or on the Disc case.

Unacceptable Discs

If you insert an unacceptable type of disc, “Please insert a playable disc” will appear on
the TV screen. Also, “- - - - - “ will appear on the DVD Changer display panel. Insert a
different DVD or Audio CD. The following Discs will not play on this DVD Changer.

• Compact Disc-Graphic

(CD-G)

• Compact Disc-Video

(CD-V)

The following discs might play, but only the audio will be available. There will be no picture.

Recycling Guidelines/Battery Safety

● Your new product and its packaging contain materials that can be

recycled and reused. Specialized companies can recycle your prod­uct to increase the amount that needs to be properly disposed.
Your product uses batteries that should not be thrown away when
depleted but should be disposed of as small chemical waste. Please
find out about the local regulations on disposal of your old prod­uct, batteries, and packaging whenever you replace existing equip­ment.

● Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leakage that may

result in bodily injury or damage to the unit:
Install ALL batteries correctly, with the + and - markings on the
battery aligned as indicated on the unit;
Do not mix batteries, for example, old with new or carbon with
alkaline; and
Remove batteries when the unit will not be used for a long time.

8 Hookups

Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to connect, there are various ways
you could connect the DVD Changer. Use only one of the connections described on pages
9-12.

Before you begin...

● Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo, Receiver or other devices as necessary. Note

the style of jacks and connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose
different Audio and VIdeo In channels on your other equipment so you can see and hear
the DVD Changer on the TV, Stereo, etc.

● Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power

outlets only after you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change con­nections with equipment connected to the power outlet.

● Depending on your connection, you may need to purchase additional cables.

Determining the best possible connection...

Your hookup will be determined primarily by feature availability of your existing equipment.
However, the following guidelines describe which options have the best picture and sound
quality.

 Use the Component Video jacks for the best picture quality.
 Use the S-Video jack for excellent picture quality.
 Use the yellow Video jack for good picture quality.
 If your TV only has an RF-style jack, usually labeled Antenna In or 75 ohm, you

will need an adapter in order to connect the DVD Changer to the TV. Ask your
electronics retailer for details. The DVD picture still will exceed the quality of
videotapes and other analog recordings.

 Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound. Connect one of the DVD

Changer’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks (COAXIAL or OPTICAL) to your
Receiver for the best sound quality.

 If digital connections are not possible, connect the DVD Changer’s red and white

AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Receiver or TV. Using the red
and white cables provides a standard “analog” or “two-channel” connection.
Sound is distributed through two channels, or the Left and Right channels.

Remember...

● Connect the DVD Changer directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the

DVD Changer to a VCR, then connect the VCR to a TV. This type of connection may
distort the picture and sound. Also, your VCR might have the copy protection system,
which could further distort the DVD image.

● Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called AUX or

AUXILIARYIN, AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2, etc. These channels often
are located near channel 00. See your TV owner’s manual for details.

● Set the audio equipment (Amplifier, Receiver, etc.) to the correct channel or

“source” mode.

● Do not connect the DVD Changer’s AUDIO OUT jack to the PHONO IN jack of your

audio system.

● You only need one audio connection and one video connection.

● If you connect the DVD Changer to a Receiver that is Dolby Digital and DTS compati-

ble, set Dolby Digital or DTS to On at the DVD Changer. Details are on pages 40-41.

● If your Receiver is not Dolby Digital or DTS compatible, set Dolby Digital or DTS to

Off at the DVD Changer. Playing a DVD when the settings are wrong will distort the
sound or damage the speakers.

Once you determine the best option, find your choice on pages 9-12. Follow
the specific steps for the hookup you chose.
