There’s Always a Catch

Before You

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 Note about the Illustrations

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

Before You Begin 3

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.

Author Menu The Author menu is the menu on a disc that allows you to change settings for that disc. We call it the “Author” menu because its features are “authored” by the maker of the disc, and may vary from disc to disc.

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

Dolby Digital This format is used when 5.1-channel audio signals are recorded onto the digital track of film. It provides five separate (discrete) channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer.

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.

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).

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

A Quick Tour of the Remote

Installing Batteries in the Remote

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

2. Insert four, fresh, AAA-size 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.

Types of Discs That the Player Can Play

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

• Audio CDs

• Video CDs

• DVDs

8 Before You Begin

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!

Page 11

A Few Things Y ou should Know

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

Connections

• 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.

Protect Your 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.

CAUTION

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

Connections 9

Page 12

Connecting Your DVD Player

Jacks and Cables

S-Video Jack and Cable (S-VHS)

The S-Video jack provides the best picture quality for your DVD player. This jack is available on many TVs and is used in conjunction with audio cables to connect the DVD player to your TV.

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

Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type)

The audio/video jacks provide very good picture and stereo sound quality, and should be used if your TV has no S-Video jack.

These jacks are used for most audio/video connections between components. The DVD audio/video jacks are 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 to combine sound from both channels.

S-Video Jack

S-Video jack

Audio/Video jacks

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.

Optical Cable (for Connecting to a Dolby Digital Receiver)

If you own a Dolby Digital receiver that uses an optical cabletype input, you can use an optical cable to connect the DVD player to that receiver to get the best sound quality.

RF Output Adaptor

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

Connecting Your DVD Player

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, Audio/Video Receiver, or Dolby Digital Receiver owner’s manual for more information on hooking up your specific components.

DVD Player + TV without A/V Input Jacks............................... 12

If your television only has antenna (RF) inputs, you will need to get an RF output adaptor in order to connect the DVD player. This connection gives you a good quality picture and sound.

DVD Player + TV with A/V Input Jacks (and/or S-Video) ....... 13

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 + TV + Audio/Video Receiver ................................ 14

If your television has an S-Video input, and you have an Audio/ Video Receiver, use this connection to get the best quality picture and sound.

DVD Player + TV + Dolby Digital Receiver............................... 15

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

DVD Player + TV + VCR............................................................. 16

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 17 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 use your 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 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 regional code is Locale #1.

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, or the player is unplugged). Because resume uses elapsed time as a marker, this feature does not work with discs that do not keep elapsed time (for example, interactive DVDs).

What’s a Scene?

Because DVD is a digital format, the information can be separated in many different ways. One way that a DVD might be separated is by scenes (as in a movie). Each scene might be a chapter on a DVD, so rather than watching the whole movie to get to a scene, you can just go straight to it.
