Chapter 1: Setup and Connections

Things to consider before you connect

Protect components from overheating

• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

• Don’t stack components.

• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.

• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf.

Position cables properly to avoid audio interference

• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.

• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle of the back of the TV.

• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.

Connection Pictures

Audio/video cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in this book show each cable separately (audio left, audio right, and video). Graphics contained within this publication are for representation only

Types of discs your DVD player can play

• DVD discs – contian picture and sound (DVD-R, DVD+RW are compatible with this player) .

• CDs (CD-R, CD-RW) – Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only. MP3 discs are CDs that

VIDEO CD

Some discs may not be compatible due to laser pickup and disc design.

contain MP3 files. This player is also capable of playing CDs that contain JPEG files.

• Video CD discs – Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. The difference is the amount of information that can be stored on the disc. VCDs typically have lower picture and sound quality than DVD discs.

Connection: DVD + TV + Audio Receiver

Both Dolby Digital® and DTS® are audio formats used to record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the digital track of film (while the film is being made). Both of these formats provide up to six separate channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer. The disc will play 5.1-channel sound only if you’ve connected a DTS or Dolby Digital receiver or decoder and if the disc is

encoded in the Dolby Digital or DTS format.

Please Read This Before Using the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT Jack!

This player’s digital output jack is designed for a connection to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder. Older digital equipment may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection can create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or speakers. It is important to choose the correct Digital Output setting in the DVD Player’s Sound menu,

especially when you use either of the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack. For more information, go to page X.

Chapter 1: Setup and Connections

DVD Player + TV + Audio Receiver

1. Connect the left and right audio cables to your audio/video receiver and to the AUDIO OUT L (left – white) and R (right – red) jacks on the back of your DVD Player.

2. If you have a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver, use one of the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks to connect the receiver to the DVD player. You must also set the Digital Output setting in the Sound menu (go

to page 44).

Note: The DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack has two options: OPTICAL and COAXIAL. Some Dolby Digital receivers have one type of Digital Audio Input jack, and some have both. Under most conditions, optical and coaxial connections work equally well — the only difference is the type of cable you connect to the jack.

Rarely, but sometimes, coaxial cables — especially long ones, pick up radio frequency (RF) interference from household appliances, nearby power lines, and/or broadcast towers. If you want to use a less expensive cable, connect a coaxial cable to the COAXIAL jack.

If you would rather use the OPTICAL jack, connect an optical digital cable to the DVD player and to the corresponding digital optical input jack on the receiver.

3. Connect the video cable.

A. Basic video connection – Connect the video cable (yellow) to the VIDEO OUT jack on the back

of your DVD Player, and to the Video Input jack on your TV (sometimes labeled VIDEO IN).

– OR –

B. S-Video (not provided) – If your TV has an S-Video jack, connect the S-Video cable to the

S-VIDEO OUT jack on the back of your DVD Player and to the S-VIDEO jack on your TV.

3. Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote.

Important Battery Information

• If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batteries because they can leak and cause damage.

• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.

• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.

• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.

Remote

Point the Remote in the Right Direction and Put it in DVD Mode

When you want the remote to operate the DVD Player, point the remote at the DVD Player, not the TV. The remote has to be pointed in the correct direction and toward the correct component in order for the remote control’s signal to communicate with the sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path between the remote control and the component you want to operate, so the signal isn’t blocked.

Make sure the remote is in DVD mode — press the DVD button.

Turn on the TV and DVD Player

1. Turn on your TV and tune it to the correct Video Input Channel (if you don’t know which channel is your the Video Input channel, go to page 61 for help).

2. Press the ON•OFF button to turn on the DVD Player.

Chapter 3: Playing Discs

VIDEO CD

This DVD Player is capable of playing the following types of discs: DVDs, audio CDs, Video CDs, MP3 CDs. Before you put a disc in the player, make sure it is compatible.

Regional Coding

Both the DVD Player and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in order for the disc to play. If the codes don’t match, the disc won’t play. This player’s code is region 1.

Using Different Menus

You can’t play the following types of discs:, Laserdiscs, CD-I, CD-ROM (computer-only discs), DVD-ROM, or discs recorded using other broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or SECAM).

Note: Some discs may not be compatible due to laser pickup and disc design.

Chapter Contents

The beginning of this chapter pertains to DVD discs. Many of the player’s features work the same way with other types of discs. Video CDs, Audio CDs, and MP3 CDs are explained later in the chapter.

Each disc is programmed with different features. There are three separate types of menus that you can use to access features:

• The Disc menu – The Disc menu is part of each disc and is separate

from the DVD player’s menu. The contents of each Disc menu vary according to how the disc was authored and what features are included.

The Disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with the MENU button on the remote.

• The DVD player’s Info Display – The Info Display appears as icons

across the top of the screen when a disc is playing. It can only be accessed while you are playing a disc. It’s turned on and off with the INFO button on the remote.

• The DVD player menu – The DVD player’s menu system is accessed only

when a disc isn’t playing. It appears automatically when you press the STOP button on the remote.

Remember: A feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example, if you choose subtitles on the Info Display, the subtitles will only appear if the disc was created with subtitles. If a menu or icon is “grayed out” it means that item (or feature) isn’t available.

To Load and Play a DVD Disc

Turn on the TV and your DVD Player (press ON•OFF on the remote or press the STANDBY/ON button on the DVD Player).

1. If necessary, tune the TV to its Video Input channel (if you need more information, go to page 61).

2. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button (the disc tray opens).

3. Place a disc gently into the tray with the disc’s label facing up (double-sided discs have content on both sides, so you can place either side up).

4. Press the OPEN/CLOSE or PLAY button. The disc tray closes. The DVD Player reads the disc’s table of contents, and then one of three things happens depending on how the disc was programmed:

• The disc starts playing.

• The disc menu appears on the screen. One of the options will start disc play. Highlight that option and press OK.

• The DVD Player’s main menu appears on the screen. Highlight the Play option and press OK.

When you stop playing a disc, the player remembers where you stopped. When you start playing the disc again, the DVD Player picks up where you left off unless the disc is removed or the player is unplugged, or if you press the STOP button twice.

Chapter 3: Playing Discs (DVDs)

Search Options

To search a disc, you can use the FORWARD button or the REVERSE button. You can also utilize the following search features:

Picture Scan — When you’re playing a disc, each time you press FORWARD or REVERSE, your DVD Player scans the disc faster until you reach the fastest scan speed. To resume normal playback, press PLAY.

Freeze Frame and Frame Advance – While a disc is playing, press PAUSE to freeze the picture. To advance one frame at a time, press PAUSE again (the on-screen icon changes from PAUSE to FRAME). Each time you press the FORWARD or REVERSE button, the picture goes to the next (or previous) frame. To resume normal playback, press PLAY.

Slow Motion (in Freeze Frame Mode) – While a disc is playing, press PAUSE. Press REVERSE or FORWARD (each time you press REVERSE or FORWARD the slow motion will get even slower until you reach slowest speed). To resume normal playback, press PLAY.

Playback options

Many of your DVD Player’s playback features are accessed through the Info Display (described on pages 17 through 25). Additionally, with some discs you can use the Zoom Feature to see details of an image and the Scene Again feature to quickly repeat the last few seconds of the movie.

Zoom

1. While you’re playing a disc, press ZOOM (the player zooms in on the image). Each time you press ZOOM, the picture is magnified even more (until you get to the maximum zoom level).

2. To see other parts of the picture when you’ve zoomed in on the image, press the up, down, left, and/or right arrow buttons.

Scene Again

1. While you’re playing a disc, press the AGAIN button on the remote (the disc automatically repeats the last few seconds of the movie).

Using the On-Screen

The on-screen Info Display contains many playback features. To see the Info Display, press the INFO button on the remote while a disc is playing (the Info Display appears across the top of the screen). Each feature is illustrated with an icon. Use the left and right arrow buttons to move through the different icons in the Info Display. When an icon is highlighted, use the up and down arrow buttons on the remote to scroll through the choices displayed in the text box under the icons.

Remember, you can only access the Info Display when you’re playing a disc. Also, the Info Display features are only available if the disc was created with that particular feature (i.e., if you select the Angle icon, you won’t be able to change the camera angle unless the disc was created with different camera angles). Also, if one of the icons is “grayed out,” the Info Display feature isn’t available for the disc you’re playing.

The invalid symbol appears on the screen when you press a button that doesn’t have any function. To make the Info Display disappear from the screen, press INFO on the remote control.

Chapter 3: Playing Discs (DVDs)

Time Display

This feature displays the time that has elapsed during playback. For DVD discs, the time displayed refers to the current title and acts as a Time Search feature. For example, if you like a particular scene

Hour Seconds

Minutes

in a movie, you can enter the elapsed time the scene plays and skip right to it. To use Time Search:

1. Press INFO on the remote (the Info Display appears).

2. If the time box isn’t already highlighted, use the left/right arrow buttons on the remote control to highlight it.

Note: For Audio CDs, the time displayed refers to the track that’s playing.

Selecting a Title

Some discs contain more than one title. For example, there might be four movies on one disc (each movie might be considered a title). Each title is divided into chapters. To select a title:

1. While the disc is playing, press INFO on the remote (the Info Display appears).

2. If the Title icon on the Info Display isn’t highlighted, press the right/left arrow buttons to highlight it.

3. Use the number button(s) on the remote to enter the title number or press the up/down arrow buttons to go to the next or previous title.

Note: Some discs only have one title.

Shortcut

While you’re playing a disc, you can use the CH +/– buttons to go to the next chapter/previous chapter.

Chapter 3: Playing Discs (DVDs)

Selecting a Chapter

Because DVD discs use digital technology, a title can be divided into individual chapters (similar to tracks on a CD). You can skip to a specific chapter by using the Chapter feature in the Info Display.

1. While a disc is playing, press INFO on the remote (the Info Display appears).

2. Press the right arrow button until the chapter icon is highlighted.

3. Press the number button(s) on the remote to enter the chapter you want to play —enter 2 digits (for

Chapter 3: Playing Discs (Audio CDs)

Standard: the tracks play in the same order as listed on the CD (starting with track 1). This is the default play mode.

Random: the tracks on the CD play in a random order.

Program: the tracks play in the order you designate. To use the Program play mode, you must set up

Chapter 3: Playing Discs (MP3s)

Playing MP3 Discs

MP3 (MPEG-3, which stands for Motion Picture Experts Group-Layer 3, meaning the third layer of information) is a format used to compress digital audio. Since the audio is compressed, it takes up less space.

Obtaining MP3 Files

There are two ways to obtain MP3 files:

• Use your computer software to encode MP3 files from an audio CD — you can download the software from some internet sites such as MusicMatch.

• Download MP3 files from the internet. Some internet sites allow you to download MP3 files for free, and some charge a fee.

Creating an MP3 Disc on Your Computer

Your DVD player handles MPEG-1, layer III audio. If you encode your own MP3 files from an audio CD, avoid using the features of MPEG-2,such as the 22kHz sampling frequency.

Be sure to make a data CD rather than an audio CD. If you make an audio CD,you will lose the extra features and compression of the MP3 format.

When you burn a CD, take the following steps to get optimal use of the CD for playing in your DVD player. In your CD burning software, select ISO-9660 for the file system.

Notes: Help — For more information regarding MP3 encoding software and MP3 sites, visit www.lyrazone.com. The Joliet file system is not recommended. Using the Joliet file system may result in shortened file names. Some transport modes (reverse and fast forward) are not available for MP3 CDs.

Chapter 3: Playing Discs (MP3s)

The MP3 Display

MP3 discs contain individual songs that can be organized into folders — similar to how you use your computer to put documents (files) into different folders when you burn them onto the CD. The contents of a folder can either be songs or more folders (subdirectories).

Selecting Folders and Songs

Playback begins automatically when you insert an MP3 disc into the player. The player will begin playing the songs in the order they were burned on the disc.

1. If a disc is playing, press STOP. To open a folder, use the arrow buttons on the remote to highlight the folder and press OK (the songs in the folder appear).

2. Use the up/down arrow buttons to highlight the song you want from the song list. To start playing the highlighted song, press OK.

Skipping Songs

Use the CH+ button to move to the next song. Use the CH-button to move to the beginning of the song that’s currently playing. Press CH- again to move to the previous song.

Note: There isn’t an Info Display when playing MP3 files.

Handling Cautions

• Before connecting other components to this player, be sure to turn all components off.

• Don’t move the player while a disc is being played. The disc may get scratched or broken, and the player’s internal parts may be damaged.

• Don’t put any container filled with liquid or any small metal objects on the player.

• Be careful not to put your hand into the disc tray.

• Don’t place anything other than the disc in the disc tray.

• Exterior influences such as lightning and static electricity can affect normal operation of this player. If this occurs, turn the player off and on again with the ON•OFF button, or disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord to the AC power outlet. The player will operate normally.

• Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the player after use.

Maintenance of Cabinet

For safety reasons, when cleaning the cabinet be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents for cleaning.

• Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.

Formation of Condensation

• Due to sharp changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form if warm air comes in contact with any cold parts inside the player.

• When condensation forms inside the player, the player may not operate correctly. If this occurs, leave the player at room temperature until the inside of the player becomes dry and operational.

• If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft, dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge.

Handling Discs

• Don’t touch the disc’s signal surfaces. Hold by the edges or by one edge and the hole in the center.

• Don’t affix labels or adhesive tape to label surfaces. Don’t scratch or damage the label.

• Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

Cleaning Discs

• Dirty discs can cause reduced video and audio performance. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.

• If a disc becomes very dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well. Wipe the dirt away gently, and remove any water drops with a dry cloth.

• Do not use record-cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Also, never clean the discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.

Back of the DVD Player

When connecting, make sure you connect Output jacks to Input jacks, Video to Video, Right Audio to Right Audio, etc. A description of each jack follows.

Chapter 5: Additional Information

Description of Jacks (from left to right)

AUDIO OUT – Insert audio cables (left - white, and right - red) to the AUDIO R and L jacks on your DVD Player and to the corresponding Audio Input jacks (left and right) on your TV or receiver.

VIDEO OUT – If you are using color-coded red, yellow and white RCA cables, connect the yellow video cable to this jack and to the Video Input jack on your TV.

DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (OPTICAL and COAXIAL)

Use one of these jacks to connect your DVD Player to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder. Some receivers have either the COAXIAL or OPTICAL type of Digital Audio Input jack, and some have both. Under most conditions, optical and coaxial connections work equally well — the only difference is the type of cable you connect to the jack.

Rarely, but sometimes, coaxial digital cables — especially long ones, pick up radio frequency (RF) interference from household appliances, nearby power lines, and/or broadcast towers. If you want to use a less expensive cable, connect a coaxial cable to the COAXIAL jack if your receiver has a COAXIAL input jack..

OPTICAL - connect an optical cable (SPDIF) to the OPTICAL jack on the DVD Player and Digital Audio Optical Input jack on your receiver.

COAXIAL - connect digital cable to this jack and to the Digital Audio Coaxial Input jack on your receiver. the cable is not a black coaxial cable, but an RCA-type cable.

Y, Pb, Pr – Use these jacks to connect to a TV with component video input jacks. Unlike a single video input, component video maintains the video signal as three separate signals through these three jacks. This connection provides optimum quality. To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the Y, Pb, and Pr connections. It is essential to match the colorcoded connectors with a compatible TV.

S-VIDEO OUT – If your TV has an S-VIDEO jack, connect an S-Video cable to the DVD Player’s S-VIDEO jack and to the TV’s S-Video jack to achieve better picture quality than using the VIDEO jack. S-Video only carries the picture, so you must connect the audio cables, as well.

Chapter 5: Additional Information

Explanation of Input Jacks and Cables

This section describes the jacks and cables you can use to make connections (only audio/video cables are packed with your DVD Player — you can purchase cables by calling 1-800-338-0376, details are on page 62, or order online at www.rca.com, or go to your local electronics store). There are several ways to connect your DVD Player to your TV depending upon the cables you have and the jacks that are on the back of your TV.

Different jacks and cables provide a different level of performance. It’s important to remember, we’re talking about degrees of picture improvement for comparison. If your TV has Component jacks (Y, Pb, Pr), S-VIDEO, and composite video (often colorcoded yellow and grouped with Audio Left and Right jacks that are white and red); Component (Y, Pb, Pr), would be considered excellent, S-Video would be very good, and the composite video jack (yellow) would be considered good.

Component Video (Y, Pb, Pr) Jacks and Cables

The Y, Pb, Pr jacks provide optimum picture quality because the video is separated into three signals (two signals are dedicated to the color portion of the image, and the other signal is dedicated to the black and white part of the image).

To ensure maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for the connection. There are bundled component video cables sold that are colorcoded to match the Y, Pb, Pr jacks (red, green, and blue). Component Video Input jacks are usually found on Digital Televisions (HDTV).

Note: Also, remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the Y, Pb, Pr jacks and cables carry only the picture signal, not the sound.

Chapter 5: Additional Information

S-VIDEO

AUDIO OUT

VIDEO OUT

S-Video Jacks and Cables

The S-Video (separate video) jack provides better picture quality than a composite video jack (sometimes labeled VIDEO and color-coded yellow) because S-Video keeps the color (chrominance, also called chroma) part of the signal separate from the black and white (luminance) part of the picture. S-Video cables are designed to keep the color information separated. If your TV has an S-VIDEO jack, connect the DVD Player to the TV with an S-Video cable (not provided) for a better quality picture.

Note: Remember to connect the left and right audio cables because the S-Video cable carries only the picture signal, not the sound.

Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)

Audio

These jacks are used to send the audio from the disc you’re playing in the DVD Player to the TV. The audio jacks and cables are often color-coded (red for right audio, and white for left audio). You must connect audio cables to the AUDIO L and R jacks on the DVD Player and the corresponding Audio Input Jacks on the TV no matter which Video jack you connect (VIDEO; S-VIDEO; Y, Pb, Pr)

Note: If your component has only one input for audio (mono), connect it to the left (white L/Mono) audio jack on the TV and don’t connect the right audio part of the cable.

Video

The basic Video jack (usually color-coded yellow) jack is also referred to as composite video. Composite video doesn’t keep color information separated (like S-Video), but it’s better than the video quality you get from an RF coaxial cable (the type used to plug the cable feed into a TV).
