There's Always a Catch
Because DVD is a new technology, we recommend that
you take some time right now to read through this
manual and familiarize yourself with the player..
I Know, You Really Want to Get Going
I know that you'd rather use your DVD player than read
about it, so I've divided this manual up into sections
that address how to use each type of disc that you can
play on your player: DVDs, Audio CDs, and Video CDs.
So, you don't have to read all of the book at once.
Read the First Two Sections First
The first two sections, "Before You Begin" and
"Connections" include key information to get you
started in the right direction. I suggest that you read at
least these two sections before you do anything; then
you can go back to the sections that discuss the
features as you want to use them.
A Quick Tour of the Remote
INFO Displays information about the disc, such as the
available titles, and lets you choose which title you want
to view.
MARKER Allows you to select (or "mark") places on a disc
so that you can quickly find them.
MENU Brings up the main menu of the DVD disc. The
information you see will vary from disc to disc, and some
discs may contain no menu at all.
ONeOFF Turns the subtitling feature on and off. To select
a language option for subtitles, you need to use the
SUBTITLE button.
PAUSE Pauses disc play.
PLAY Begins disc play (and closes disc tray, if open).
POWER Turns on power when the unit is in standby
mode; or puts the unit in standby mode when power is on.
PROGRAM Allows you to program the order in which
tracks are played during audio CD playback.
REPEAT Allows you to repeat the play of a Title, Chapter,
or Track.
RETURN While using the on-screen menu system, takes
you to the preceding menu screen.
REV Allows you to search backward through a disc while
it is in play mode (or slow speed search in pause mode).
SELECT Use SELECTto choose a highlighted option.
SETUP Brings up the DVD player's Setup menu.
SUBTITLE Allows you to temporarily change the
language preference for the subtitle feature.
SKIP FWD Allows you move to the beginning of the next
chapter or track on a disc (in effect, "skipping" the chapter
or track).
SKIP REV Allows you move to the beginning of the
preceding chapter or track on a disc (in effect, "skipping"
the chapter or track).
STOP Stops disc play.
TITLE Allows you to see the Titles that are available on
the current DVD disc (if the disc contains a title menu).

A Few Things You should Know
Before you connect your DVD player, there are a few
things that you need to know.
Protect YourComponents from PowerSurges
• Connect all components before plugging any power
cords into the wall outlet.
Always turn off the DVD player, TV and other
components before you connect or disconnect any
cables.
Position CablesCorrectly to Avoid Audio Hum or
Interference
Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks.
Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV's
back panel instead of straight down the middle after
you connect your components.
Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them
away from the audio/video cables as much as
possible.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly
grounded.
ProtectYour Components from Overheating
Do not block ventilation holes in any of the
components. Arrange the components so that air
can circulate freely.
• Do not stack components.
• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your
components in a stand.
Connecting Your DVD Player
Choosing a Connection
The following pages show examples of connections commonly
used to connect the DVD player with a IV and other
components. Refer to your TV, VCR, or Dolby Digital Receiver
owner's manual for more information on hooking up your
specific components.
DVD Player + TV without A/V Input Jacks................................10
If your television only has antenna (RF) inputs, you will need to
get an RF converter in order to connect the DVD player. This
connection gives you a good quality picture and sound.
DVD Player + TV with AN Input Jacks (and/or S-Video) ........ 11
If your television has A/V input jacks use them to connect your
DVD for better quality picture and sound. (For the best quality
picture, use the S-Video input if your television has one.)
T_
DVDPlayer + Stereo Amplifier/Receiver + TV......................... 12
If your television has an S-Video input, and you have a Dolby
Digital Receiver (with optical-type input jack), use this
connection to get the best quality picture and sound.
DVDPlayer + TV + VCR.............................................................13
If you want to include a VCR in your connection scheme, this
shows you one possible connection.
Finishing the Connection
After you have connected all of the components, you will need
to attach the power cord, and set the on-screen menu
language (see page 14 for more information).
Don't Forget to Plug It In ]
After you've connected the components,
don't forget to plug in the DVD player.

A New Way of Looking At Things
In this section you learn how to useyour DVD player to
play Digital Video Discs(DVDs for short).
As a little up-front information, you should know that
although some of the remote buttons look the same as
those you would usewith a VCR or CD player, the
functions work somewhat differently. So, take some
time now to find out how to play DVDs, and then you can
sit back and enjoy all of the features it has to offer you.
Also Keep In Mind...
In order for some of the player's features to work, the
DVDs that you use must be encoded with specific
information. For example, a disc must contain subtitles
in order for the player to show them to you.
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 do not match, you the disc will not
play.This player's regional code is Locale #1.
