SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used. Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type. DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below: IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: —The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or

coloured black.

—The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or

coloured red. Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug. Before replacing the plug cover make sure that: —If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug. —The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not simply over the lead wires. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

immediately and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur.

First, install the batteries as detailed below. Fit two R6 (UM/SUM-3 or AA) 1.5 volt batteries (included) or equivalent. If the remote control stops working, insert new batteries. Ensure the batteries are inserted correctly, matching the polarities (

• Do not subject the remote control to shock, water or excessive humidity.

• The remote control may not function if the DVD Player sensor is in direct sunlight or any other strong light.

• Incorrect use of batteries may cause them to leak or burst. Read the battery warnings and use the batteries

properly.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, or mix brands in use.

• Remove the batteries if you will not use the remote control for an extended period of time.

Basic Connection

• Set the power switch on the player and equipment to

be connected to OFF before connecting.

• Read through the Operation manual for the equipment

to be connected.

• Be sure that the colours of the connectors and plugs

match up when connecting the cord.

The connections described below are for video connection to the S-VIDEO OUT, VIDEO OUT or LINE1 OUT (21-pin Euro-SCART) connector. Set the S-VIDEO OUT, VIDEO OUT/Y, Cb, Cr selector switch to “SVIDEO OUT, VIDEO OUT”.

Connecting to a Stereo TV Set

1 TV set (sold separately) 2 DVD player 3 Video/audio cord (supplied) 4 S-video cord (supplied) 5 To audio input connectors (red, white) 6 To video input connector (yellow) 7 To S-video input connector 8 AC power cord (supplied) 9 To power outlet (AC 110-240V, 50/60Hz)

• For LINE1 OUT connection, see page 13.

• Refer “VIRTUAL Surround (Audio) Selection” on page 46.

S-video Output Connector

The S-Video (separate) output connector provides access to separate colour (C) and luminance (Y) signals before they are combined into composite video (VIDEO OUT). This gives a sharper picture as the TV set no longer has to separate them. Use the S-video cord (supplied) when connecting the player to a TV set equipped with an S-video input connector for the best picture clarity possible.

Connecting to a Monaural TV Set

1 TV set (sold separately) 2 DVD player 3 Audio cord (commercially available) 4 Video/audio cord (supplied) 5 To audio input connector 6 To video input connector

• For LINE1 OUT connection, see page 13.

Notes on Installation:

Bundling the cord connecting the DVD player and television with the antenna cable can cause electrical interference when you are watching television programmes. Be sure to keep the DVD player connection cords separate from the antenna cord when you install the player.

darker and more obscure portions of the image without altering the brightness of the brighter portions, thereby making the entire image easier to see.

• Four digital gamma settings are available to allow for differences in the images played and in the brightness

of the room.

• When you are watching a recording with frequent dark scenes, such as a film or concert, or when you are

watching a recording in bright room, this feature makes the darker scenes easier to see and gives the impression of greater depth in the image.

Definition of Terms

Angle

Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which have been simultaneously shot from a number of different angles (the same scene is shot from the front, from the left side, from the right side, etc,). With such discs, the ANGLE button can be used to view the scene from different angles.

Chapter Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title is subdivided into many sections, each of which is numbered, and specific parts of video presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.

DVD

This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures and sound have been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression technology (MPEG II) and high-density recording technology, DVD enables esthetically pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be recorded). DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs which are adhered to each other. Due to higher data density dual layer and possibility of double sided operation, the DVD disc has a much greater capacity than the single sided 1.2 mm thick disc (CD). Since the two thin discs are adhered to each other, there is the potential to achieve double-sided play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.

Linear PCM Sound

Linear PCM is a signal recording format used for audio CDs. The sound on audio CDs is recorded at 44.1kHz with 16 bits. (On DVD discs, sound is recorded at between 48kHz with 16 bits and 96kHz with 24 bits.)

Playback Control (PBC)

This is recorded on a video CD (version 2.0). The scenes or information to be viewed (or listened to) can be selected interactively with the TV monitor by looking at the menu shown on the TV monitor.

Subtitles

These are the printed lines appearing at the bottom of the screen which translate or transcribe the dialogue. They are recorded on DVD discs.

Time Number

This indicates the play time which has elapsed from the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to find a specific scene quickly. (It may not work with some discs.)

Title Number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. When a disc contains two or more movies, these movies are numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

Track Number

These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are recorded on video CDs and audio CDs. They enable specific tracks to be located quickly.

Video CD (VCD)

This contains recordings of pictures and sound whose quality is on a par with that of videotape. This player also supports video CDs with playback control (version 2.0).

Digital Output

• The digital output format (optical or coaxial) used in this DVD player is linear PCM audio sampling at

44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. Linear PCM sound for DVD video discs sampled at 96 kHz cannot be output digitally. Check the disc jacket for information on the audio sampling used.
