Preparation for Use

System connections (continued)

" TV connection

Three types of jacks (VIDEO OUT, S-VIDEO OUT and COMPO­NENT VIDEO OUT) are available for connection of a TV and the
main unit. Connect according to your TV.

Connecting to a TV with a video input jack:

You can enjoy DVD images by connecting your TV and the main
unit with the supplied video cable.

Set the video mode to "Interlace" (default setting). For the proce­dure, refer to "Changing the video output mode".

What is progressive scanning?

The conventional TV system displays 30 frames of still images per
second to complete sequential movement (interlaced scanning).
Whereas, progressive scanning displays one frame every 1/60th of
a second (60 frames per second) to realize less-flicker, high-density
images.

22

Notes:

! Change the TV input in accordance with the connected jack.

Do not connect other equipment (VCR, etc.) between the TV and

!

the main unit. Images may be distorted.

! Refer to the operation manual of the equipment to be connected.
! Insert the plugs fully to avoid fuzzy pictures or noise.

HT-X1

Connecting to a TV with an S-video input jack:

If your TV is equipped with an S-video input jack, you can enjoy
higher quality images by connecti ng it with an S-video cable (not
supplied).

Set the video mode to "Interlace" (default setting). For the proce­dure, refer to "Changing the video output mode" on page 22.

Note:

When the video and S-video cables are both connected, the images
from the S-video input jack appears on your TV.

Connecting to a TV with component video input jacks:

If your TV is equipped with component video input jacks, purchase a
component video cable to enjoy higher quality images.

Preparation for Use

Notes:

! If your TV has different indications for the component video

inputs (Y, CB and CR or Y, B-Y and P-Y), connect jac ks with its
matching color.

! Some component video jacks designed for the high-vision sy s-

tem are not compatible with DVD. Do not connect this unit to
those component video input jacks. (Images may appear dis­torted or may not appear due to the system difference.)

" Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation i n an extremel y
humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet
(laser pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control.
Condensation may cause the system to malfunction. If this hap­pens, leave the power on with no disc in the system until normal
playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on
the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the system.

" If trouble occurs

When this product is subjected to strong external interference
(mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply
voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated inc orrectly, it may
malfunction.

If such a problem occurs, do the following:

1 Set the system to the stand-by mode and turn the power on

again.

2

If the system is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and
plug in the subwoofer/amplifier unit, and then turn the power on.

Note:

If neither operation above restores the system, clear all the memory
by resetting it.

" Clearing all the memory (reset)

Maintenance

Error indicator s an d wa rn in gs

HT-X1

" Cleaning the laser pickup lens

In order to ensure proper operation of the DVD player, preventative
maintenance (cleaning of the laser pickup lens) should be per­formed periodically. Lens cleaners are commercially available. Con­tact your local DVD software dealer for options.

" Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft clo th and a diluted soap
solution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:

! Do not use chemicals for cleaning (gasoline, paint t hinner, etc.).

It may damage the cabinet finish.

! Do not apply oil to the inside of each component as this may

cause malfunctions.

! Since the disc insertion slot fac-

es upward, dust may accumu­late on it. Clean it with a cotton
swab, etc.

" Care of discs

Discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur
due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guide­lines below for maximum enjoyment from your disc collection and
player.

! Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label

side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.

! Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and ex cessive

moisture.

! Always hold the discs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on

the discs can cause noise or mistracking. If a disc is dirty or does
not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out
from the center, along the radius.

When you load an unplayable disc or fail to perform operations
properly, the following messages are displayed on the TV screen.
