01 Before you start

Introduction to home theater

You are probably used to using stereo equipment to listen to music, but may not be used to home theater systems that give you many more options (such as surround sound) when listening to soundtracks.

Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio channels to create a surround sound effect, making you feel like you're in the middle of the action or concert. The surround sound you get from a home theater system depends not only on the speakers you have set up in your room, but also on the source and the sound settings of the system.

DVD-Video has become the basic source material for home theater due to its size, quality, and ease of use. Depending on the DVD, you can have up to seven different audio tracks coming from one disc, all of them being sent to different speakers in your system. This is what creates a surround sound effect and gives you the feeling of ‘being there’.

This receiver will automatically decode Dolby Digital, DTS or Dolby Surround DVD-Video discs. In most cases, you won’t have to make changes for realistic surround sound, but other possibilities (like listening to a CD with multi-channel surround sound) are explained in Playing sources, starting on page 43.

(*except those that contain MP3 files formatted as specified in the MP3 audio compatibility section)

DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs (Audio CDs and Video CDs) recorded using a DVD recorder, CD recorder or personal computer may not be playable on this machine. This may be caused by a number of possibilities, including but not limited to: the type of disc used; the type of recording; damage, dirt or condensation on either the disc or the player’s pick-up lens.

CD-R/RW compatibility

This unit will play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in CD Audio or Video CD format, or as a CD-ROM containing MP3 audio files. However, any other content may cause the disc not to play, or create noise/distortion in the output.

Before you start

01

This unit cannot record CD-R or CD-RW discs.

Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs recorded as CD Audio can be played, but the full Table of Contents (playing time, etc.) will not be displayed.

This unit will not play DVD-RW discs that were recorded using the Video Recording format.

This unit cannot record DVD-R/RW discs.

Unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played in this player.

PC-created disc compatibility

If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format as listed above, there will be cases in which the disc may not be playable in this machine due to the setting of the application software used to create the disc. In these particular instances, check with the software publisher for more detailed information.

Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW software disc boxes for additional compatibility information.

MP3 audio compatibility

This unit will play CD-ROM discs containing files saved in the MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format (MP3) with a sampling rate of 32, 44.1 or 48kHz. Incompatible files will not play and UNPLAYABLE will show in the display.

Fixed bit-rate files are recommended. Variable bit-rate (VBR) files are playable, but playing time may not be shown correctly.

This player only plays tracks that are named with the file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.

This player is not compatible with multisession discs. If you try and play a multisession disc, only the first session will be played.

Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording your MP3 files. The disc must be finalized in order to play in this unit.

This player can recognize a maximum of 250 folders and 250 tracks. Discs containing more than 250 folders or 250 tracks will play, but only the first 250 folders / tracks.

Folder and track names (excluding the “.mp3” extension) are displayed.

01 Before you start

There are many different recording bitrates available to encode your MP3 files. This unit was designed to be compatible with all of them. Audio encoded at 128Kbps should sound close to regular CD Audio quality. This player will play lower bit-rate MP3 tracks, but please note that the sound quality becomes noticeably worse at lower bit-rates.

Setting up the remote to control your TV

You can set up the supplied remote to control your TV. Here’s how to set it up.

1Switch on your TV.

2Find the name of the manufacturer of your TV in the Preset Code List on page 68-69.

Next to each manufacturer is one or more three digit codes. These tell the remote what kind of TV you have.

If the name of the manufacturer of your TV does not appear in the table, you won’t be able to set up this remote to control your TV.

3 Point the remote at your TV, hold down the CLEAR button, then enter the three digit code for your TV.

The remote transmits an on/off signal to the TV. If you’ve entered the correct code, your TV should switch off.

If your TV doesn’t turn off, repeat the procedure using the next code in the list until your TV switches off successfully. Once set, you can then use the following individual TV controls.

Getting started

Using the on-screen displays

For ease of use, this player makes extensive use of graphical on-screen displays (OSDs). You should get used to the way these work as you’ll need to use them when setting up the player, using some of the playback features, such as program play, and when making more advanced settings for audio and video.

All the screens are navigated in basically the same way, using the cursor buttons to change the highlighted item and pressing ENTER to select it.

Playing discs

The basic playback controls for playing DVD, CD, Video CD and MP3 discs are covered here. Further functions are detailed in the next chapter.

1If the player isn’t already on, press STANDBY/ON to switch it on.

If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, also turn on your TV and make sure that it is set to the correct video input.

2Press 0OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc tray.

3Load a disc.

Load a disc with the label side facing up, using the disc tray guide to align the disc (if you’re loading a double-sided DVD disc, load it with the side you want to play face down).

03 Getting started

4 Press 3 (6) to start playback.

If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, a menu may appear. See pages 20–21 for how to navigate these.

If you’re playing an MP3 disc, it may take a few seconds before playback starts, depending on the complexity of the file structure on the disc.

After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds!

Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your player. The region number should be printed on the disc; check it against the region number of the player (which you can find on the rear panel). See also page 8.

If the region number is OK, it may be that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc and look for signs of damage. See also page 59.

Why won’t the disc I loaded play?

First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that it’s clean and not damaged. See page 59 for information on cleaning discs.

If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM. See page 6 for more on disc compatibility.

I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play some discs?

Some movie formats are such that even when played on a widescreen TV, black bars are necessary at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.

I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the player to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so why do I still get black bars top and bottom with some discs?

Some discs override the display preferences of the player, so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those discs will still be shown in letterbox format. This is not a malfunction.

04 Playing discs

Introduction

With most of the features described in this chapter, you can make use of on-screen displays. For an explanation of how to navigate these, see Using the on-screen displays on page 17.

Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to DVD discs, Video CDs, CDs and MP3s, although the exact operation of some varies slightly with the kind of disc loaded. With CDs and MP3 discs, you can use the front panel display instead of the OSD for many features.

Some DVD discs restrict the use of some functions (random or repeat, for example). This is not a malfunction.

When playing Video CDs, some of the functions are not available during PBC playback. If you want to use them, start the disc playing using a number button to select a track.

Using the Disc Navigator to browse the contents of a disc

(Available only when using the OSD)

Use the Disc Navigator to browse through the contents of a disc to find the part you want to play.

It’s not possible to use the Disc Navigator when playing a Video CD in PBC mode, or an unfinalized CD-R/RW disc.
