A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the center unit to
prevent abnormal temperature inside the center unit, thus assuring
normal operation. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to
supply external cool air to the inside of the center unit when the
internal temperature exceeds the specified limit.

For safety, observe the following carefully.

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor
ventilation could overheat and damage the canter unit.

• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or
holes. (If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat
may not be able to escape.)

TV Broadcast System

• This device is designed to work with the NTSC video format.

• For normal playback, the video format a DVD disc is recorded in must

coincide with your TV's video format.

13

Connecting your System to the Power Supply

The AC plug must be plugged into an appropriate socket.

Before plugging your system into an AC outlet, you must check the voltage.

1. Plug the AC Cord on the rear of the system into an appropriate outlet.

2. Press the On/Standby button to switch your DVD Player system on.

Supports the Progressive scan system, as well as the conventional (current) Interlace scan system.
*To enjoy the progressive video picture, you must connect the unit to a television or monitor that

supports the progressive video input.

P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function

While the player is in the stop mode, hold the P.SCAN
button down for longer than 1 second.

•

The selection switches back and forth between "P.SCAN" and "I.SCAN"
each time the button is held down for a minimum of 1 second.

•

The previous mode is indicated in the display first, followed by the
selected mode in about a second.

Press the Setup/P.Adj button. (Play mode only)

•

Each time the Setup/P.Adj button is pressed, the following appears on the TV screen:

In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two
interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field
contains every other horizontal line in the frame.
The old field of alternating lines is displayed first, and
then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating
gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame.
One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains
two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are
displayed every 1/60th of a second each.
The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing
a still object.

Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)

The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of
video consecutively down the screen, line by line.
As opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a
video image is drawn in a series of passes, you get an
entire image drawn at one time.
The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing
with moving objects. A camera that has the ability to
capture moving objects is called a "full frame shutter
camera".

Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)

What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?

•

This function only works with TV's equipped with component video inputs (Y, P

r

, Pb).

•

Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.

Repeating Playback

•

Each time you press the button, repeat mode
changes as follows:

Press the REPEAT button.

The indication corresponding to the selected mode
appears on the TV screen.

REPEAT:RANDOM

:

All tracks recorded on the disc will be played once in random order.

REPEAT:ONE

REPEAT OFF

: Repeat play is canceled.(Normal play is resumed.)

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group
(or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format
with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*).
That means,by using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW
can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular
CD can.
*Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second

of audio data will consume. The measuring unit used is
Kbps (1000 bits per second).
To obtain better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate.
The most popular bit rate for encoding (recording)is
128 Kbps.

What is MP3?

•This system can only read MP3 files that are recorded in
the format that is compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1 or
Level 2.

•The system can read or play MP3 files only with the
extension code —“.mp3 ”.

•ID3*tags cannot be shown on the display.

*An MP3 file can contain file information called “ID3 Tag ”

where its album name, performer, track title, etc. are
recorded.

MP3 File Compatibility

•

Your DVD player can also play CD-R and CD­RW discs recorded in digital audio format.
When recording your own CD-R or CD-RW
discs, make sure that the recording session is
properly terminated, or they will not be
playable. (Depending on disc properties and
recording quality, some CD-R/RWs may not be
playable.)

•

CD-RW has a lower reflection rate than CD-R
media and consequently it will take a longer to
read CD-R discs.

•

CD-RW discs recorded at high speed tend to
be difficult for the DVD player to read. If the
recording speed for the CD-RW disc is not
predetermined, write it at low speed.

Creating Realistic Sound Fields

You can use the following surround to reproduce a realistic sound field.

• Digital Multichannel Surround —Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround

• Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround

To enjoy surround effectively, all the speakers need to be connected and activated.

Dolby Digital

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with Dolby Digital ( ).
Dolby Digital encoding method (discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format)records and digitally compresses the left front

channel,right front channel,center channel,left rear channel,right rear channel,and LFE channel signals (total 6 channels,but LFE
channel is counted as 0.1 channel.Therefore, LFE is called the 5.1 channel).
In addition,Dolby Digital enables stereo rear sounds,and sets the cutoff frequency of the rear treble at 20 kHz,compared to 7 kHz
for Dolby Pro Logic.These facts result in better sound quality than Dolby Pro Logic.

When the system detects Dolby Digital signals,the DOLBY DIGITAL indicator lights up on the display.

DTS Digital Surround

Used to reproduce multichannel sound tracks of the software encoded with DTS Digital Surround ( ).
DTS Digital Surround is another discrete 5.1 channel digital audio format available on CD,LD,and DVD software.

Compared to Dolby Digital,audio compression rate is relatively low.
This fact allows DTS Digital Surround format to add breadth and depth to the reproduced sounds.As a result,DTS Digital
Surround features natural,solid and clear sound.

When the system detects DTS Digital Surround signals, the DTS indicator lights up on the display.

Dolby Pro Logic II

• Dolby Pro-Logic II is a new multi-channel playback format developed by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic
steering technology and offering improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits.

• Dolby Pro Logic II can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround ( ) but also
regular stereo sources into five channels (front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) to achieve
surround sound.

• Whereas with conventional Dolby Pro Logic the surround channel playback frequency band was limited, Dolby Pro
Logic II offers a wider band range.
In addition, the surround channels were monaural (the surround left and right channels were the same) with previous
Dolby Pro Logic, but with Dolby Pro Logic II they are stereo.

* Sources recorded in Dolby Surround

These are sources in which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of signals
using Dolby Surround encoding technology.
Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and video cassettes to be played on
stereo VCRs, as well as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts and cable TV.
Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic makes it possible to achieve multi-channel surround playback.
The signals can also be played on ordinary stereo equipment, in which case they provide normal stereo sound.

Dolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing multichannel audio signals that offers improvements over
conventional Dolby Pro Logic. It can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround, but
also regular stereo sources into five channels (front left/right, center and surround left/right). In addition,
various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so you can adjust the
sound field with greater precision.

This function works only in the DPL II M (Dolby Pro Logic II Music) Mode.

Pro Logic II Mode

•

The Music mode is recommended when listening to CDs or watching DVDs with mostly
musical content.

•

The Cinema mode is best when watching movies.

•

The Pro Logic mode offers the same surround processing as original Pro Logic and is
best used when the source contents are not of optimum quality.

•

The Matrix mode is useful for when the audio is mono.

DSP modes have been designed to simulate different acoustic environments.
The sound heard in a hall, theater, pavilion, dance club, or live club consists of direct

Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection.
Indirect sounds are delayed by the distance of the ceiling and walls.
These indirect sounds are an important element of the acoustic surround effect.
