1. Connecting MIXED AUDIO OUTs 1

Connect these jacks to the DVD (, AUX, etc.) IN jacks of your amplifier or receiver.

Notes :

󳢯While playing back a disc containing multi-channel signal

format such as DTS, Dolby Digital and MPEG Multichannel with this connection, the 5 discrete channels (front L, center, front R, rear L and rear R) are mixed down to these front and headphone channels.

󳢯If the MIXED AUDIO OUT connection is made, only two

front speakers are required.

2. Connecting VIDEO OUT’s

This DVD Player has 3 kinds of Video Outputs : Component Video, S-Video and Composite Video.

If your receiver or amplifier has both VIDEO INPUT jacks and VIDEO (MONITOR) OUTPUT jacks, connect these VIDEO OUTS to the corresponding VIDEO IN jacks of your amplifier or receiver and the receiver’ MONITOR OUTPUT jacks to the corresponding input jacks on your TV. If your amplifier or receiver does not have the necessary input and output jacks, connect these jacks directly to the VIDEO IN jacks of the TV. (Refer to “CONNECTING TO TV WITH AUDIO AND VIDEO INPUTS” on the next page.) 󳢯When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect

“Y” to “Y”, “R-Y” to “R-Y” (or “P

”), “B-Y” to “B-Y” (or “PB”)

󳢯For your reference, video picture quality is usually rated as

follows :

“COMPONENT” > “S-VIDEO” > “COMPOSITE” NOTE : Do not connect this unit to your TV through a VCR. The copy protection function built into DVD software may interfere with the picture.

3. Connecting DIGITAL OUTs

If your amplifier or receiver has built-in digital decoders or if you wish to make direct connection to an MD or CD recorder, connect the COAXIAL and/or OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUTS to the corresponding DIGITAL INPUTS of the associated device(s).

Notes :

󳢯You must select the appropriate digital output mode on this

DVD player before trying to use it with an outboard amplifier

or receiver via the digital connections. Otherwise, operation with the incorrect digital mode may result in a loud noise through your speakers that could damage the speakers and/or our hearing. (For details, refer to “When selecting the DIGITAL OUTPUT” on page 32.)

󳢯Recordings of DVD software made via the digital connection

on an MD or CD recorder may not be made properly.

󳢯When making the COAXIAL DIGITAL connections, use 75

Ohm coaxial cable not standard audio patch cords.

󳢯Not all of the commercially available optical cables are

suitable for use with audio equipment. If you have any

questions regarding the appropriateness of any cable,

please consult your dealer or a professional service

organization.

󳢯Remove the protecive cap before making any OPTICAL

DIGITAL connections. Re-install the cap when you will not

be using the OPTICAL INS or OUTS.

4. Connecting the 6.1 CH AUDIO OUTs

This DVD player has built-in multi-channel digital decoders for DTS, Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, MPEG Multichannel and Circle Surround including the 6.1 Extended Surround versions of both DTS and Dolby Digital so you can enjoy high-quality audio and surround sound without the need for an external decoder. Connect these jacks to the corresponding 6.1 (or 6) channel inputs of your amplifier or receiver.

Notes :

󳢯If you amplifier or receiver has only 6 channel direct inputs,

do not hook up the REAR CENTER OUTPUT.

󳢯In that case, you can run the REAR CENTER OUTPUT to a

separate amplifier or powered speaker. With such a hookup, however, you will have limited ability to control the rear center speaker level as this DVD player does not have a master volume control. Center Rear volume trim is limited to +/- 12 dB compared to the other channels. If you need more volume adjustment capability, it should come from the associated amplifier or powered speaker.

󳢯When using the 6.1 CH Audio Outs, adjustments for

speaker set-up, bass management, dynamic range control, and surround sound mode should be made from this DVD

player and not from your amplifier or receiver. (Refer to “When selecting the Dynamic Range Control”, when selecting the SURROUND” and “When selecting the SPEAKER OPTIONS” on pages 33-34.)

5. Connecting to an additional amplifier or TV set

This unit incorporates additional audio and video outputs such as (composite) VIDEO OUT 2 and MIXED AUDIO OUT 2 for use with a second TV or amplifier. 󳢯To connect these jacks correctly, refer to “Connecting

MIXED AUDIO OUT’s 1” and Connecting VIDEO OUTs”

described above.

6. AC INPUT CORD

When all connections are made, plug this cord into an AC outlet.

7. VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH (Optional by region)

In some countries, this unit operates on AC 115V or AC 230V. If your unit has this capability, set the VOLTAGE SELECTOR switch to match your line voltage before connecting the AC input cord to an AC outlet.

8. A/V SCART CONNECTORs (Regional Option)

Refer to “CONNECTING TO TV AND VCR WITH SCART CONNECTORS (Regional Option)” on page 9.

ENGLISH

Page 7

ENGLISH

󳢯You can enjoy DVD Videos by simply connecting this unit to a TV. To hear improved audio sound quality, connect the MIXED

AUDIO OUTs 1 to your amplifier or receiver.

󳢯To connect these jacks correctly, refer to “Connecting MIXED AUDIO OUTs 1” and “Connecting VIDEO OUTs” on the

previous page.

Note :

󳢯If your TV has only a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you will need to use an optional audio cord which converts

stereo audio output to monaural.

󳢯Do not connect the VIDEO OUTs of the unit to the TV through a VCR. Otherwise the image may be disturbed due to the copy

protection builtinto the DVD software.

CONNECTING TO TV WITH AUDIO AND VIDEO INPUTS

󳢯When these VIDEO and DIGITAL INs are connected to the corresponding VIDEO and DIGITAL OUTs of additional DVD

player, etc., you can also enjoy high-quality audio and surround by using the built-in DTS/Dolby Digital/MPEG Multichannel decoder of this unit. If this is the case, be sure to connect the 6.1 CH AUDIO OUTs (and MIXED AUDIO OUTs ) to your amplifier or receiver.

󳢯When you connect the additional equipment with a digital output, before using, change the SYSTEM setting according to the

type of the DIGITAL OUT jack of the equipment connected. (Refer to “SETTING THE SYSTEM” on page 29.)

󳢯The digital audio signal from either the OPTICAL or the COAXIAL DIGITAL IN can be directly transferred to both of the

DIGITAL OUTs of this unit. If this is the case, be sure to connect these DIGITAL OUTs to your amplifier, etc.

󳢯A signal from the S-VIDEO IN can be directly transferred to only the S-VIDEO OUT and a signal from the regular VIDEO IN to

only the regular VIDEO OUTs 1 and 2.

󳢯Depending on your use, the unit’s settings should be set properly. With DIGITAL OUT connections, the DIGITAL OUTPUT

setting should be made from this unit and with 6.1 CH AUDIO OUT connections, settings for “D·R·C”, “SURROUND” and “SPEAKER OPTIONS” on the AUDIO SETUP menu should be made.

󳢯For correct connection and use, refer to “Connecting DIGITAL OUTs” and “Connecting 6.1 CH AUDIO OUTs” on the previous

page.

󳢯The audio component such as CD player, etc. can be also connected to these DIGITAL INs only, not the VIDEO INs.

DVD Video

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 Video enables esthetically pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be recorded). DVD Video has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the information can be recorded, a DVD Video has a greater capacity than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. 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.

MPEG (DVD Video)

MPEG stands for Moving Picture Expert Group. It is regarded as an international standard for digital signal compression and restoration for media.

Track number (CD)

Track numbers are used to designate the various sections of a disc.

Title, Title number (DVD Video)

The title is the largest unit of the video/audio recording in DVD Videos. Usually, the title corresponds to a movie of video software or an album (or a piece) of music software. Title numbers are sequential numbers assigned to titles.

Chapter, Chapter number (DVD Video)

Chapters are divisions, which are smaller than the titles, of the contents recorded on DVD Videos. Every title is composed of more than one chapter. Chapter numbers are the sequential numbers assigned to the chapters in a DVD Video.

Aspect ratio (DVD Video)

The aspect ratio is the ratio between the vertical and horizontal size of the picture displayed on a TV screen. The aspect ratio of normal TV screen is 4:3 while that of the wide-screen TV and HDTV screens is 16:9.

Subtitle (DVD Video)

Some DVD Videos contain the recording of more than one subtitle languages. With these discs, this unit can select one of the subtitle languages as desired during playback.

Dolby Digital

This is the latest digital surround system developed by Dolby Laboratories. Discs bearing the includes the recording of up to 5.1 channels of digital signals, which can reproduce much better sound quality, spatial expansion and dynamic range characteristics than the previous Dolby Surround effect.

Dolby Pro Logic

This is a specially encoded 2 channel surround format designed to provide theater-like surround sound from Dolby Pro Logic program sources bearing the .

Dolby Virtual

This employs sophiticated digital processing to create the illusion of five

phantom speakers. Therefore, this allows you to experience a realistic multi-channel experience from the Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic or 2 channel stereo digital audio (recorded in linear PCM) program source, through just a single pair of front speakers. Manufactured under licence from Dolby Laboratories. Dolby ,

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

DTS is a newly-developed surround system which can handle more amount of data than Dolby Digital, providing better audio quality. Though the number of audio channels is 5.1 which is same as Dolby Digital, discs bearing the provides fat sound and better signal-to-noise ratio, thanks to the lower audio compression ratio format. It also provides wide dynamic range and better separation, resulting in magnificent sound.
