Superlative audio performance from built in DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital*, DTS** and MPEG decoders

The 192kHz/24bit-compatible DAC inside the DV-S88A/ DV-S838A delivers breath-taking sound quality with DVDAudio, Dolby Digital and DTS discs.

The DV-S88A/DV-S838A is compatible with both 2channel (192kHz/24bit) and multi-channel (96kHz/24bit) DVD-Audio discs thanks to its 5.1-channel audio outputs.

In addition, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG decoders are built-in so you can connect the DV-S88A/DV-S838A directly to an AV amplifier with 5.1 channel inputs to enjoy cinema-like surround sound.

525 line digital progressive-scan component video output (NTSC)

Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan effectively doubles the amount of video information fed to your TV or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free image. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this feature.)

For the very highest picture quality, try watching a movie on DVD-Video on a progressive-scan compatible TV.

The DV-S88A/DV-S838A offers complete flexibility and compatibility with all types of AV equipment with composite video and S-Video outputs, as well as component video outs.

Digital Noise Reduction PRO (Video Quality Enhancer)

This new type of DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) for encoding video (called VQE or Video Quality Enhancer) enables you to adjust the video settings on a more detailed and exact level. There are three possible settings to choose from. These include: TV (CRT), Projector, and Professional. This technology can remember which setting you’ve chosen and employ it at the proper time.

Smooth variable speed scanning in forward and reverse directions

This player incorporates technology that enables smooth playback of DVDs and Video CDs not only at different speeds but also in both forward and reverse directions. Control the direction and scanning speeds from 1/16 normal play speed to extremely quick scanning using the

MULTI DIAL on the remote control (page 52).

Differences in Disc

How to Proceed in This

Composition

DVD

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 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

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.

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 disc 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 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 68 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 14 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 20 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 28, 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.

Play a disc.

When all the connections and setups have been made, you are ready to play a DVD, Video CD, or CD with the player. The section

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 16 to 18 . 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 20). Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu (page 36).

Notes

• When making connections to this unit or when changing

connections, check that the unit is off by pressing

STANDBY/ON (or POWER) and unplug the power cord

from the power outlet.

• The 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 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 23). Additionally, the digital audio settings can be adjusted manually in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu (pages 30–31).

DIGITAL OUT (Optical)

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.

Analog Audio Connection

After making physical connections to either the AUDIO OUT FRONT or AUDIO OUT (5.1 channel) analog jacks,

be sure to identify which output you are going to be using in the [Analog Jacks] screen of the Setup Navigator (page 22). You can also manually set the output in the [Audio Out] setting of the Setup screen Audio 2 menu (page 32).

Notes

• When [5.1 Channel] is selected, the front right (R) and left (L) audio channels are output from the AUDIO OUT FRONT jacks.

• The [Audio Out] setting creates an audio output default for the player. If connections are made to both AUDIO OUT FRONT and AUDIO OUT (5.1 channel) analog jacks to make different audio connections for multichannel and stereo audio sources.

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 22).

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 DVD-Audio, 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 AUDIO OUT (5.1 channel) 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.

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

Jacks] screen (page 22).

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
