Equipped to play back DVD-Audio discs and capable of decoding Dolby Digital*

and DTS*

multichannel digital bitstreams for a high quality audio experience.

Equipped with a 192 kHz/24 bit DAC (Digital-Analog Converter), this player is capable of playing back the high quality audio recorded on DVD-Audio discs. Additionally, discrete 5.1 channel analog audio output jacks are featured for 96 kHz/24 bit audio output of multichannel DVD-Audio discs and Dolby Digital and DTS multichannel sources decoded by the player's internal Dolby Digital and DTS decoders. By making connections to an AV component that features 5.1 channel discrete inputs, you can enjoy a cinema quality sound experience (page 18).

Equipped for high standard progressive scan component video output

The component video output jacks on this player feature a 525p (480p) progressive scan output frequency. When connections are made to the component video input of a TV, monitor, or projector compatible with 525p (480p) progressive scan frequencies, twice the information of a standard interlace scan and greatly improved picture quality can be achieved (page 15). Also, when taking advantage of the progressive scan system, the Pure Cinema mode can be used to produce an even better picture quality during DVD-Video disc playback (page 45).

*1Playing recordable CDs

• Note that this unit cannot record onto recordable discs.

• This unit can play music-use CD-R and CD-RW discs. However, depending on the condition of the CDRecorder and the disc, you may find that not all discs will play successfully. (For example, if the disc is scratched or dirty, or if the player’s pickup lens is dirty.)

Equipped with newly developed DNR video encoder technology

This player is equipped with a high quality DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) internal video encoder (VQE: Video Quality Enhancer) that automatically performs fine textured video adjustments. Three preprogrammed quality settings can be selected for TV (CRT), projector, and professional, and you can also make custom adjustments to screen quality settings and store them in the player's memory (page 44). This player also features component video output jacks for ideal delivery of the DVD digital video signal, as well as two S-video and two composite output jacks.

Connection to the optional C-AX10 Control Amplifier using PDIF

Multi-channel digital audio and 2 channel with sampling rate of up to 192kHz can be fed directly to a C-AX10 Control Amplifier. Since the signal does not pass through any D/A – A/D conversion, exceptional playback quality is possible (page 17).

Easy setup and adjustment using on-screen menus

Press SETUP on the remote control to open the Setup screen and you’ll find setting up and adjusting the system easy to do with on-screen menus conveniently organized and arranged. Additionally, on-screen information ( explain the options available. Below are just a few examples.

Differences in Disc Composition

DVD-Video

DVD-Videos 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 DVD. Menu screens do not belong to any title. DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a DVD or chapters within a selected title. The player functions available may also vary from title to title, depending on the DVD. When DVDs have a unique title division, it should be noted that search and program functions may be affected.

How to Proceed in This 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 9 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 71 if you are having trouble understanding some of the terminology associated with DVD.

DVD-Video

DVD-Audio

DVD-Audio discs are divided up into units known as groups, and each group is further divided into tracks. Generally speaking, a single song corresponds to a single track, however, tracks may also be divided into indexes. Menu screens and video material common to DVD-Video discs may also be included on some discs.

Group 1

Track 1

SACD/Video CD/CD

SACDs, 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, SACDs, Video CDs and CDs all considered to be a single title, regardless of the number of tracks.

Making Connections

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 22). Additionally, the digital audio settings can be adjusted manually in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu (pages 29 and 30).

• When recording digitally to an MD, CD recorder, DAT, etc., using a digital connection, we recommend using to the 1 COAX PCM jack.

• To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1 channel audio, use the OPT (optical) or the 2 COAX jack. In addition to an AV amplifier with built-in Dolby Digital/DTS decoder, you’ll need a surround sound speaker system (main left/right, center, surround left/right and subwoofer).

DIGITAL OUT (Optical)

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

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

Notes

• The PDIF connection can transmit up to 2 channels of 192kHz/24-bit audio; 4 channels of 96kHz/24-bit audio; 6 channels of 96kHz/16-bit audio; or 6 channels of 48kHz/ 24-bit audio.

• Some discs may be copy protected: audio output from the PDIF jacks will be 48kHz or 44.1kHz/16-bit (2 channel) only. For 96kHz/24-bit and 192kHz/24-bit audio, connect the analog jacks in addition to the PDIF jacks (page 18).

• Some DVD-Audio discs are copy protected: no digital audio is output from the PDIF jacks when these discs are played. “PDIF PROHIBIT” appears in the display when these discs are played. In this case, connect using the analog outputs and switch the [Audio Out] setting on this player accordingly (page 31).

• When connected using PDIF, the speaker settings of this player are ignored (page 32).

Making Connections

Analog Audio Connections

After making physical connections to either the AUDIO OUT FRONT or Multichannel AUDIO OUT analog jacks, be sure to identify which output you are going to be using in the [Analog Jacks] screen of the Setup Navigator (page 21). You can also manually set the output in the [Audio Out] setting of the Setup screen Audio 2 menu (page 31).

2 CHANNEL AUDIO OUT

• Make analog audio connections to a stereo amplifier or receiver.

• Analog audio connections can also be made to a TV or monitor with stereo input jacks.

• Use the supplied audio cable to connect one of the AUDIO OUT FRONT jacks on the player to the audio input on the stereo amplifier or receiver.

• When making analog audio connections, be sure to match the color of the plugs with the color of the jacks (red and white).

• When making this kind of connection, be sure to select “2 Channel” in the Setup Navigator [Analog Jacks] screen (page 21).

5.1 CHANNEL AUDIO OUT

5.1 channel audio refers to the current industry surround sound standard requiring two front speakers, a center speaker, two surround (rear) speakers and a sub woofer. Although in actuality there are 6 channels, because the sub woofer channel, or LFE channel, makes up a mere fraction of the total audio soundtrack, it has been designated as the 0.1 of the 5.1 system.

By utilizing the player’s internal multichannel audio decoder, the audio of Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG DVDs can be output from the 5.1 channel discrete outputs to an AV amplifier or receiver with 5.1 channel input capability.

• Use audio cables to make connections from the player’s Multichannel AUDIO OUT jacks to the equivalent input jacks on the AV amplifier or receiver. This type of amplifier or receiver may be referred to as “multichannel ready” or “Dolby Digital ready”.

• When making 5.1 channel analog audio connections, be sure to match the left and right channels on both components, and also make sure that the jacks of all the channels are connected correctly on both components.

• Either 2 single audio cords or a stereo cord may be used to connect the CENTER and SUB WOOFER channels to the AV amplifier or receiver.

• When making this kind of connection, be sure to select “5.1 Channel” in the Setup Navigator [Analog

Jacks] screen (page 21).

Setting Up the Player

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.
