GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

• If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), it will fit into the outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

• If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.

Differences in Disc

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 discs have a unique title division, it should be noted that search and program functions may be affected.

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 “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 62 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 16 shows how video and audio connections may be made to suit your home entertainment system.

Super VCD/Video CD/CD

Super VCDs, Video CDs and CDs are divided into units referred to as tracks (Super VCD and 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. Super VCDs/ 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, Super VCDs, Video CDs and CDs are considered to be a single title, regardless of the number of tracks.

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4

Super VCD/Video CD

Track 1 Track 2

Track 3 Track 4 Track 5

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 22 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.

Play a disc.

When all the connections and setups have been made, you are ready to play a DVD, Super VCD, Video CD, or CD with the player. The section “Getting Started Using Your DVD Player” starting on page 26 outlines the basic player operations.

Enjoy the many features available.

Once you are comfortable using the basic player functions, you are ready to take advantage of the various options DVD and this player have to offer. The section “Advanced Functions” starting on page 46 describes how to use the features available on many DVDs.

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.

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. 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 23). Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu (page 34).

Notes

• When making connections to this unit or when changing connections, check that the unit is in standby (off) by pressing

STANDBY/ON (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 playback 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 2 channel and 5.1 channel audio output connection possibilities.

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.

DIGITAL OUT (Coaxial)

The digital signal is transmitted electronically through a coaxial cable.

• Use to connect to an AV amplifier or receiver with

built-in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder.

• Use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the

coaxial digital output on the player to the coaxial digital input on an AV amplifier or receiver.

AV amplifier or receiver with built-in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder

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 the [Digital Jack] setting in the Setup Navigator to best reflect the type of system you are using (page 25). Additionally, the digital audio settings can be adjusted manually in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu (page 33).

DIGITAL OUT (Optical)

The digital signal is transmitted as light pulses through a optical cable.

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

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

Analog Audio Connection:

After making physical connections to either the AUDIO OUT (2 CH) or AUDIO OUT (5.1 CH) analog jacks, be sure to identify which output you are going to be using in the [Analog Jacks] screen of the Setup Navigator (page 24). You can also manually set the output in the [Audio Out] setting of the Setup screen Audio 2 menu (page 31).

Notes

• When “5.1 Channel” is selected, the front right (R) and front left (L) audio channels output from the AUDIO OUT (2 CH) analog jacks (page 31).

• The [Audio Out] setting creates an audio output default for the player. If connections are made to both AUDIO OUT (2 CH) and AUDIO OUT (5.1 CH) analog jacks to make different audio connections for multichannel and stereo audio sources, it is possible to switch between 2 channel and 5.1 channel audio output by pressing 5.1 CH MODE on the front panel. However, this button does not work when the GUI indicator is lit.

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 (2 CH) analog 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).

Stereo amplifier or receiver

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 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 AUDIO OUT (5.1 CH) jacks to the equivalent input jacks on the AV amplifier or receiver.

• 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.
