Differences in Disc

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.

	Title 1						Title 2
Chapter 1		Chapter 2				Chapter 1		Chapter 2

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 “Before Using” on page 8 to confirm that all the accessories were included with the player.

DVD 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

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.

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.

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.

•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.								MAKING
	•	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								CONNECTIONS
		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.
