............................................................... 100V - 240V

The available power supply voltage differs according to country or region. However, this unit is equipped with an Automatic Voltage Selector. The power supply voltage of the area where the unit will be used automatically meets the required voltage within the range of AC 100 - 240 V, without any manual voltage adjustment. To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and be correctly wired to provide connection to earth. Improper extension cords are a major cause of fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective earthing of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.

1. Connecting AUDIO OUTs

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

Note :

• While playing a multi channel (5.1 channel) program source recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS, etc., the 5 discrete channels(front L/R, center and surround L/R) are mixed down to these front and headphone channels. In this case, you can hear sound from the front speakers and headphones.

2. Connecting VIDEO OUTs

The COMPONENT VIDEO OUTs of this unit are capable of outputting either conventional interlacing video signal or progressively scanned video signal(that can reproduce highdensity pictures with less flicker).

• According to VIDEO OUTs, the excellence in picture quality is as follows: Progressive “COMPONENT” > Interlaced “COMPONENT” > “S-VIDEO” > “COMPOSITE”

• When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect “Y/PY” to “Y”, “Cb/Pb” to “Cb”(, “Pb”, “B-Y”), “Cr/Pr” to “Cr”(, “Pr”, “R-Y”).

• Depending on the type of the COMPONENT VIDEO INs of TV, be sure to set the COMPONENT OUT to the corresponding setting.(Refer to “When selecting the COMPONENT OUT” on page 33 or “CHANGING THE COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT SIGNAL” on page 26.)

• If there are both VIDEO INs and (MONITOR) VIDEO OUTs on your amplifier or receiver, connect these jacks to the corresponding VIDEO IN jacks of your amplifier or receiver and (MONITOR) VIDEO OUT jacks of that to the corresponding VIDEO IN jacks of the TV respectively.

• If there are no VIDEO jacks, connect these jacks to the TV directly. (Refer to “CONNECTING TO TV WITH AUDIO AND VIDEO INS” on the next page.)

• You can connect the COMPOSITE VIDEO 2 jack to an additional monitor TV.

Notes:

• When the COMPONENT OUT is set to PROGRESSIVE, the S-VIDEO and COMPOSITE VIDEO OUTs can not output the normal video signals. Therefore, it causes the picture to break up and shake.

• When the progressive video signals are input into the nonprogressive COMPONENT VIDEO INs of your TV, the picture may not be shown normally, too. Therefore, when the progressive COMPONENT VIDEO INs of TV are not connected to, you should set the COMPONENT OUT to INTERLACED.

• Do not connect the unit to the TV through a VCR. Otherwise the picture may be disturbed due to the copy protection function.

3. Connecting DIGITAL OUTs

You can enhance the sound quality by connecting these COAXIAL and OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTs to the corresponding DIGITAL INs of an amplifier, MD recorder, etc. The digital audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If you connect to a DTS, Dolby Digital or MPEG-II decoder or an amplifier with built-in decoder, you can enjoy theater-quality audio in your home.

Notes :

• When you connect the audio equipment with a digital input, before using, set the AUDIO SETUP correctly according to the connected audio equipment with a digital input. When the AUDIO SETUP is not set correctly, loud noise or no sound may be heard from the speakers, and it may be harmful to your ears and damages the speakers.(Refer to “SETTING THE AUDIO SETUP” on page 35.)

• When you connect the MD or CD recorder with a digital input for digital recording, the LPCM SELECT should be set to LPCM 48K. If not, the digital recording do not perform properly. (Refer to “SETTING THE AUDIO SETUP” on page

35.)

• When making the COAXIAL DIGITAL connection, be sure to use a 75 Ω COAXIAL cord, not a conventional AUDIO cord.

• All of the commercially-available optical fiber cords cannot be used for audio equipments. If there is an optical fiber cord which cannot be connected to your audio equipments, consult your dealer or nearest service organization.

Audio output from the unit’s DIGITAL OUTs

Note 1 : The type of audio output from the DIGITAL OUTs can

be selected by the DIGITAL OUT settings.

Note 2 : Sound having 96 kHz sampling is converted into 48

kHz sampling when it is output from the unit’s DIGITAL OUTs.(Refer to “SETTING THE AUDIO SETUP” on page 35.)

• Linear PCM is a signal recording format used in music CDs. While music CDs are recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, DVD Videos are recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit to 96 kHz/24 bit.

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.

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.

Folder (MP3 disc)

The folder is the largest unit of the contents recorded on MP3 discs. Usually, the folder corresponds to an album(or a piece) of music software.

Track / song number (CD, MP3 disc)

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

• DVD Video structure

• CD structure

• MP3 disc structure

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 screen 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.

Angle (DVD Video)

Some DVD Videos contains scenes which have shot simultaneously from multiple camera angles. With these discs, the same scene can be viewed from each of these different angles.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital provides multichannel surround sound in cinemas from 35 mm film and in the home from laser discs, DVDs, and digital broadcast television, cable, and satellite systems. It enables the transmission and storage of up to five full-range audio channels, plus a low-frequency effects channel(LFE), thus 5.1 channels, in less space than is required for just one linear PCM-coded channel on a compact disc.

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Pro Logic decodes program material encoded in Dolby Surround, and is built into virtually every home theater audio system. Dolby Pro Logic reconstructs the original four channels - left, center, right, and surround - that were encoded onto the program material’s stereo soundtracks.

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.
