There’s Always a Catch

Setup and

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.

Please Read This Section First

This section includes key information to get you started in the right direction. You’ll get your DVD player set up and connected, then you can go back to the sections that discuss specific features as you want to use them.

Connections

A Note about the Illustrations

The illustrations in this book are representational, and in some instances may not exactly match the item represented.

Setup and Connections 3

Unpacking the Box

Unpack the Box

Carefully unpack the items in the box:

• DVD player

• Remote control and batteries

• Audio/Video cables

• S-Video cable

• Power cord

Install Batteries in the Remote

1. Open the battery door on the back of the remote.

2. Insert fresh batteries. Make sure that the polarities (+ and –) are aligned correctly.

3. Replace the battery door.

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.

Prepare to Connect the DVD Player

Types of Discs That the Player Can Play

This DVD player is capable of playing the following types of discs, having the corresponding logos:

• DVDs

• Audio CDs

• Video CDs

DIGITAL VIDEO

Prepare to Connect the DVD Player

Before you connect your DVD player, there are a few things that you need to know.

Protect Your Components from Power Surges

• 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 Cables Correctly 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.

DO NOT Use CD-R Discs!

The wave length of the pickup of this DVD player may cause CD-R discs to be erased. DO NOT play CD-R discs in this player!

CAUTION

Protect your components from overheating.

• Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DVD player.

• Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.

• 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.

• Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand.

See Safety Information, inside front cover.

Types of Jacks and Cables

Before deciding which method to connect the DVD player, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the different types of jacks and cable.

S-Video Jack and Cable (S-VHS)

The S-Video jack provides excellent picture quality for your DVD player. This jack is available on many TVs. Because the S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, and not the sound, you’ll also need to connect the left and right audio cables.

Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)

S-Video Jack

The audio/video jacks provide very good picture and stereo sound quality, and should be used if your TV has no S-Video jack. Each jack is color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). If your TV has only one input for audio (mono), you may need a Y-adaptor (not included) to combine sound from both channels.

RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type)

You may not need coaxial cables to connect the DVD player to your TV, but you may need to use coaxial cables to carry the cable, satellite, or off-air signal to your television.

Digital Cable

If you own a Dolby Digital receiver with a digital coaxial input, you can use that cable to connect the DVD player to that receiver to get the best sound quality.

Audio/Video Jack

RF Jack

Coaxial

Jack

RF Modulator

If your television has only an RF input jack, you will need to use an RF modulator (not included) to convert the line output signal to an RF signal.

Page 9

Choosing a Connection

The following pages show examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player with a TV 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 .................................. 8

If your television only has antenna (RF) inputs, you will need to get an RF modulator and A/V cable “Y” adapter (not included) in order to connect the DVD player.

DVD Player + TV with A/V Input Jacks (and/or S-Video) .......... 9

Choosing a Connection

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.)

DVD Player + Stereo Amplifier/Receiver + TV ..........................10

If your television has an S-Video input, and you have a Dolby Digital Receiver (with a digital coaxial-type input jack), use this connection to get the best quality picture and sound.

DVD Player + TV + VCR .............................................................. 11

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.

Don’t Forget to Plug It In

After you’ve connected the components, don’t forget to plug in the DVD player. Details at the end of this section.

OFF-AIR SIGNAL

PLEASE READ BEFORE USING THE DIGITAL OUT JACK!

This player’s coaxial digital output jack is designed for connection to a Dolby Digital 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.

If you have this problem, try changing the Dolby Digital output from bitstream to PCM using the Digital Output feature in the Setup menu. See “Using the Setup Menu” for more details.

CAUTION

Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DVD player. See Safety Information, inside front cover.

A New Way of Looking At Things

In this section you learn how to use your DVD player to play DVD 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 use with 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.

Playing DVDs

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, the disc will not play. This player’s code is Region No. 1.

Loading and Playing a DVD

Before you load a disc, make sure that it is compatible with the player. Note that the following discs CANNOT be used with this player:

• Laserdisc

• CD-I, CD-ROM, CD-R, DVD-ROM

• MiniDisc



• Discs recorded using other broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or SECAM)

• CD-G discs play audio only, not graphics

To Load and Play a DVD

Make sure the DVD player is properly connected (see “Setup and Connections”) and turned on before you begin.

1. Press the OPEN•CLOSE button on the front of the DVD player.

2. Place a disc gently into the tray with the disc’s label facing up (double-sided discs have a small label on both sides near the center).

3. Press the OPEN•CLOSE or PLAY button to close the disc tray.

The DVD player reads the disc’s table of contents, and then begins playback, or displays the disc menu (if the DVD has one). A DVD’s behavior is determined by how it’s been “authored”—or programmed.

Resume Feature

When you stop disc play, the player remembers where you stopped, so when you press PLAY again to begin play, it will pick up where you left off (unless the disc is removed, the STOP button is pressed twice, or the player is unplugged). Because this feature uses elapsed time as a marker, this feature does not work with discs that do not keep elapsed time (for example, interactive DVDs).

Page 17

Using a DVD’s Disc Menu

A DVD is capable of having a disc menu—its own on-screen menu system separate from the player’s displays. This menu may allow you to change features such as language and playback settings.

Although disc menus’ content and operation differ from DVD to DVD, the following example should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect.

1. When the disc is playing, press MENU to bring up the disc menu.

2. Use the up and down MOVE arrows to highlight the setting or feature you want to change and press OK.

Initialized Settings

“Initialized settings” are the setting to which the player will default each time it is turned on.

Any settings you change with the disc menu only temporarily override the initialized settings.

Use the Setup Menu of the DVD player to change the initialized settings. (See “Using the Setup Menu” for more details.)

A Short Glossary of DVD Terminology

Angles When making a DVD, the studio can incorporate various camera angles which you can select by using the ANGLE button on the remote. Note that not all DVDs contain multiple camera angles.

Chapter Each Title on a DVD can be divided into chapters (similar to tracks on an audio CD).

Disc Menu The Disc menu is an on-screen menu (or series of menus) included with the program content of a DVD. These menus vary from disc to disc, and should not be confused with the player’s own on-screen menus.

Dolby Digital A digital surround sound format that provides six separate (discrete) audio channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and subwoofer.

To play back a Dolby Digital soundtrack, connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to a compatible Dolby Digital receiver.

If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.

LPCM Linear Pulse Code Modulation—a digital recording process. Turning LPCM on in the Setup menu converts 96KHz/24-bit digital audio to 48KHz/16-bit audio which is compatible with digital recording devices such as MiniDisc and DAT recorders.

Subtitling Because so much information can be stored on a DVD, many discs may contain foreign language subtitles.

Title A DVD may contain several different titles; for example, if a disc contains four different movies, each might be considered a title (and each may have several Chapters within it).
