How to Proceed in This

Composition

DVD

DVDs are divided into units referred to as titles, and titles are divided into chapters. A DVD which contains a movie may have only one title with many or no chapter divisions. Karaoke DVDs may have many titles, assigning a title to each song on the disc. Menu screens do not belong to any title.

DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a disc or chapters within a selected title. The player functions available may also vary from title to title, depending on the disc. When DVDs have a unique title division, it should be noted that search and program functions may be affected.

Chapter 1 Chapter 2

Title 1

DVD

Chapter 1

Video CD/CD

Video CDs and CDs are divided into units referred to as tracks (Video CD tracks may also be referred to as scenes). One song generally corresponds to one track. Some tracks are further divided into units referred to as indexes. Video CDs with PBC (Playback Control) also contain menus recorded on the disc which enable easy access to the contents of the disc.

When played back on a DVD player, both Video CDs and CDs are considered to be a single title, regardless of the number of tracks.

Manual

DVD is an incredible format that presents the highest quality digital audio and video available today. The amount of information that can be recorded onto a DVD is remarkable, allowing it to offer numerous functions and features available with no other format.

Because using the DVD player and DVDs may be confusing at first, following the order below should help you get through the important stages of getting set up so you can start using your player as soon as possible.

Get familiar with the player.

Refer to the section “Before Using” on page 8 to confirm that all the accessories were included with the player. If you are new to DVD, it might be beneficial for you to go through the “Names and Functions” section starting on page 10 to get familiar with the parts and buttons on the main unit and remote control as they will be referred to throughout this manual.

There is also a list of terms that can be found on page 54 if you are having trouble understanding some of the terminology associated with DVD.

Make the necessary connections.

No entertainment system seems to be set up exactly the same way. The “Making Connections” section starting on page 15 shows how video and audio connections may be made to suit your home entertainment system.

Set up the necessary player menus.

Before you can begin to enjoy the benefits of the DVD format, you should set up the player to output the video and audio information that corresponds to your system. The section “Setting Up the Player” starting on page 19 explains how to use the Setup screen menus as well as how to make the necessary initial adjustments. The Setup screen menus are used in a number of functions. Learning the procedure for operating the menus will make using this player much easier and more enjoyable.

Making Connections

Connecting Your DVD Player

Unlike any other audiovisual media format, DVD offers a wide array of audio and video output options which allows playback to be enjoyed in any number of system configurations from a standard TV with stereo audio input to a home theater system with a projection monitor and full surround sound capabilities.

The illustrations on this and the following pages show the DV-525 round blade 2 - pin AC plug model.

Connection Guide

The illustration on this page shows the basic setup using the audio and video cords included with this player. Use this illustration as a guide to setting up your home system.

An explanation of each type of audio and video connection available can be found on the following pages. To determine the best audio and video connection setup for your system, refer to the manuals supplied with the components you are making connections to.

In addition to making physical connections to your TV or monitor, it is also necessary to assign the TV screen size in the Setup screen Video menu corresponding to whether you are using a wide screen or standard size TV or monitor (page 22).

Notes

• When making connections to this unit or when changing connections, check that the unit is off by pressing POWER, and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

• The analog video output on this player uses copy protect circuitry to prevent the video playback on DVDs from being copied. If you connect the player to a TV via a VCR, or record and play back the contents of a disc with a VCR, the playback picture may not be normal.

(Taiwan model only) Finally, connect to a power outlet.
