PRECAUTIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY

ENGLISH

Units shipped to the U.S.A and Canada are designed for operation on 120 V AC only.

Safety precaution with use of a polarized AC plug. However, some products may be supplied with a nonpolarized plug.

CAUTION

: To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully

insert.

ATTENTION

: Pour éviter chocs électriques, introduire la lame la plus large de la

fiche dans la borne correspondante de la prise et pousser jusqu’ au fond.

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.

kHz sampling when it is output from the unit’s DIGITAL OUTs.(Refer to “SETTING THE AUDIO SETUP” on page 33.)

• 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.

4. AC INPUT CORD

Plug this cord into a wall AC outlet.

5. A/V SCART OUTPUT CONNECTOR (Regional

Option)

Refer to “CONNECTING TO TV WITH SCART CONNECTOR(Regional Option)” on page 8.

ENGLISH

1. Connecting AUDIO OUTs

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

Notes :

• To listen to analog audio signal that is outputting from the AUDIO OUTs, you should set the AUDIO OUT to “ANALOG”.(In this case, the digital audio signal cannot be output from the DIGITAL OUTs of this unit.)

• Depending on whether the AUDIO OUTs are connected to a stereo amplifier/receiver/TV or a A/V amplifier/receiver with built-in surround decoder, you should set the DOWNMIX correctly. (Refer to SETTING THE AUDIO SETUP” on page 33.)

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) VIDEO”

• When making COMPONENT VIDEO connections, connect “Y” to “Y”, “C

B” to “C

B”(, “P

B”, “B-Y”), “CR

” to “CR

”(, “PR”, “R-

Y”).

• Depending on the type of the COMPONENT VIDEO INs of

TV, be sure to set the component video output signal to the corresponding setting.(Refer to “CHANGING THE COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT SIGNAL” on page 26.)

• DVD Video structure

• CD structure

• MP3 disc structure

On an MP3 disc, a folder can be a member of another folder, creating hierarchical folder layers. If you are familiar with a personal computer, you may easily understand the hierarchical file/folder construction.

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.

Interlaced scan

In the conventional video system, a picture is shown on the screen in two halves. The interlaced scanning system places lines of the second half of the picture in-between lines of the first half of the picture.

ENGLISH

DVD Video

This refers to a high-density optical disc on which highquality pictures and sound have been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression technology (MPEG-2) and high-density recording technology. DVD Video enables esthetically pleasing fullmotion 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

MPEG stands for Moving Picture Expert Group. It is regarded as an international standard for compressing and restoring digital video and audio signal. “MPEG” standards include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Video CD and MP3 are based on MPEG-1, while DVD Video is based on MPEG-2.

MP3

MP3 is an audio data reduction format, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data reduction of about 1:10.

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.

Track number (CD)

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

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.

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic”, and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

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.

“DTS” and “DTS 2.0+Digital Out” are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

Progressive scan

Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a picture at one time, as a single frame.

Composite video

A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization information.

S-video

A video signal which improves picture quality over the standard composite video signal.

Component video

Video signals with three channels of separate information that makes up the picture. There are some types of component video, such as Y/CB(Pb)/C

R(Pr) and R/G/B.

Bitstream

The digital signal form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.

Linear PCM

PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation. Linear PCM is the usual digital method without compression, used for audio playback of audio CDs, DVD Videos, etc.
