Compatible with a wide range of DVD digital audio output formats

DVDs are recorded in one of four types of digital audio formats (as of October 1998). The digital audio output jacks of this player output Dolby Digital*2, DTS*3, MPEG, and linear PCM digital bitstreams.

This player has a function that converts Dolby Digital and MPEG audio formats into the linear PCM format. This allows playback of DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital and MPEG without the need for a decoder.

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 discs 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. 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 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 starting on page 7 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 53 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 starting on page 12 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, it is first necessary to set up the player to output the video and audio information that corresponds to your system. The section on page 16 explains how to use the Setup Navigator, a function that automatically sets up the player corresponding to the answers given in a multiple-choice on-screen procedure. The Setup screen menus, described in the section starting on page 23, are also used in a number of other functions. Learning the procedure for operating these 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 TV or monitor and full surround sound capabilities.

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 pages 13 to 15 . 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. You can use the [Setup Navigator] in the Setup screen General menu to set whether you are using a wide screen or standard size TV or monitor (page 17). Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu (page 27).

Notes

• When making connections to this unit or when changing

connections, check that the unit is off by pressing

STANDBY/ON 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.

Audio Connections

This player features two digital (optical and coaxial) and also analog audio output formats.

Digital Audio Connections:

You can enjoy the digital audio recorded on DVD discs from both optical digital and coaxial digital output jacks.

When making digital audio connections, do not make connections from both the coaxial and optical digital outputs to the same component.

When a DVD recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG is loaded, noise will be output if you have made connections via the digital audio jacks to a receiver or amplifier that cannot decode a Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG digital bitstream. In this case, be sure to set up the Setup Navigator audio settings to best reflect the type of system you are using (page 18). Additionally, the digital audio settings can be adjusted manually in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu (page 25-26).

DIGITAL OUT (Optical)(DV-535 only)

The digital signal is transmitted as light pulses through a fiber-optic cable.

• Use to connect to an AV amplifier or receiver with built-in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder.

• Use a fiber-optic cable (not supplied) to connect the DIGITAL OUT OPT (digital optical output) on the player to the digital optical input on an AV amplifier or receiver.

• If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC = PAL conversion.

Using the Setup Navigator

The Setup Navigator has been designed to simplify the process of getting the DVD player ready to perform. Designed as a series of on-screen multiple-choice questions, the Setup Navigator automatically sets the audio, video, and language settings according to how the questions are answered. Once this procedure is complete, it will be possible to begin using the DVD player to enjoy DVDs.

The procedure on this page describes the operations necessary to function within the Setup Navigator screens. A detailed description of the contents of each question that appears on the screen can be found on the following pages.

When setting up for the first time

Some DVDs start playing automatically when loaded in the player. Because the Setup Navigator cannot be used if a disc is playing, it is recommended to set up the player using the Setup Navigator before loading a DVD for the first time. If a DVD has been loaded, be sure to press STOP 7 before proceeding.

How to interpret the setting indicator colors in the Setup screen menus

When setting up the system, or when making adjustments, it is convenient to know what settings are applicable to the different disc formats.

Output To Be Compatible with Your AV Component – DVD

This player is capable of digital audio output for Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG, and signals with a sampling rate of 96 kHz. Make settings in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu to reflect the capabilities of the components that you have made digital connections to.

Notes

• If you have already completed the Setup Navigator screen operations, the settings on this page have already been set by the player.

• If you have made only stereo line connections (analog) using the supplied audio cord, it is not necessary to make any changes in this menu.

Dolby Digital Out

This player is capable of outputting the Dolby Digital surround sound audio signal. When the player is connected to an AV component that has a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, select [Dolby Digital]. This player can also convert the Dolby Digital signal to a digital Linear PCM signal, the same digital signal output from a CD. Select [Dolby Digital 3 PCM] when you have made connections to an amplifier or receiver with a Dolby Pro Logic decoder or a Digital Analog Converter (DAC).

Note

If you have made digital audio connections to component(s) not equipped to decode the DTS digital bitstream, be sure to select [Off]. If a DTS signal is output without decoding, the output is digital noise that could potentially cause damage to your speakers.

96 kHz PCM Out

This player is capable of outputting digital signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz. If you have made connections to a component capable of processing this signal rate, select [96 kHz] for the signal to be output as is. As some components are incapable of processing digital signal input with sampling rates of 96 kHz, selecting [96 kHz 3 48 kHz] compresses the signal to a standard signal with a sampling rate of

48 kHz.

Setting the TV Screen Size – DVD

The width-to-height ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while the width-to-height ratio of wide screen and high-definition TVs is 16:9. This width-to-height ratio is called the aspect ratio. When viewing software recorded in different aspect ratios, the image’s height to width ratio can be switched to match the TV or monitor being used. Make changes to the TV screen size in the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu. Please note that changes to the [TV Screen] setting cannot be made when a disc is playing. Stop playback of the disc before attempting to make any changes.

Wide screen format DVD

Please note that there are some wide screen letter box formats that place black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.

Standard screen format DVD

When viewing a standard screen format DVD on a wide screen TV, black bars may be automatically placed at the side of the screen to adjust to the DVD format.

Standard screen format DVD (unnatural stretched effect)

If you are viewing a standard screen format DVD on a wide screen TV, the picture may appear ‘stretched’ on the screen. To remedy this condition, change your wide screen TV to display a standard (4:3) screen. Refer to the instructions supplied with your wide screen TV or monitor for more information.

“Wide” setting

Notes

• If [Standard (4:3)] is selected in the Setup Navigator screen, [4:3 (Letter Box)] is selected on this screen. If you prefer the pan&scan format, change the settings on this screen.

• Whether the aspect can be switched or not depends on the disc. Please refer to the information written on the disc jacket, etc.

• Some discs may not include the screen format selected in the [TV Screen] setting. When this occurs, the standard TV screen format available on the disc is automatically selected.

Differences in screen sizes and DVD formats

The number of screen size formats currently available can be somewhat confusing. If set incorrectly, the video presentation may not appear as it should. The following diagrams and descriptions are intended to help you set your TV screen size in a way that will allow you to fully enjoy the digital video of DVD. The settings in the [TV Screen] setting are perhaps most applicable when the DVD you are watching is programmed in the wide screen format. If you have a standard TV, select either [4:3 (Letter Box)] or [4:3 (Pan & Scan)] based on your personal preference. If you have a wide screen TV, select [16:9 (Wide)].

When viewing a standard size TV or monitor

DVD screen size format Setting and Appearance

Standard screen format DVD

If you have a standard TV, the standard screen format will be presented regardless of the setting.
