the speaker parameters (distance, level, etc.).
Please turn off the Power of your TV, DVD receiver and other equipment before doing
any connections. Set the volume to low initially.
CONNECTIONS
Subwoofer
Note
Be sure to match the speaker cord to the appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and
•
– to –. If the cords are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.
If you use front speakers with low maximum input rating, adjust the volume carefully to avoid
•
excessive output on the speakers.
Do not disassemble the front cover of supplied speaker.
•
Ideal Speaker Placement
Front Speakers
Set the front speakers so that their tweeters
(high-range) are aligned at about ear level and at a
horizontal angle of 45° to the prime listening position.
Center Speaker
Ideally the center speaker should be positioned with its
top surface flush with the front speakers. However,
you may place the speaker either on top or near the
bottom of your TV set.
Rear Speakers
Set the rear speakers further back, parallel to the
walls, at 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above prime
listening position ear level.
If the space behind the listening position is insufficient
(i.e., too close to the wall), place the rear speakers
facing each other on either side.
Subwoofer Speaker
Place the subwoofer at any convenient location
within the vicinity of the listening position.
Depending on your TV and other equipment you wish to connect, there are various ways you could connect the player.
Use one of the connections described below.
Video connection (Good)
Connect the VIDEO OUT jack on the DVD Receiver to the video in jack on the TV using
•
the video cable supplied (V).
S-Video connection (Better)
Connect the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the DVD Receiver to the S-Video in jack on the TV
•
using the optional S-Video cable (S).
Component Video (Color Stream®) connection (Best)
Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the DVD Receiver to the corresponding
•
in jacks on the TV using an optional Y Pb Pr cable (C).
Note
When the Progressive scan mode is selected, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed
•
any signals. See page 16 to select Progressive Scan.
The signal of S-VIDEO OUT jack will output only when the function mode is selected to

(About the cooling fan)
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the center unit to
prevent abnormal temperature inside the center unit, thus assuring
normal operation. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to
supply external cool air to the inside of the center unit when the
internal temperature exceeds the specified limit.
11
For safety, observe the following carefully.
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor
ventilation could overheat and cause damage.
• DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or
holes. (If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat
may not be able to escape.)

Before Using the DVD Player
P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function
Your DVD player is capable of playing DVD, VCD, and CD discs.
User instructions may vary depending on the type of disc. Read the instructions
carefully before use.
TV Broadcast System
• This device is designed to work with the NTSC video format.
• To change the TV broadcast system to be output, press the ZOOM button while the
power is turned off. The selection will switch between NTSC and PAL each time
you press the button.
• For normal playback, the video format a DVD disc is recorded in must coincide
with your TV's video format.
About the symbol display
Unlike a regular Interlace Scan in which two fields of picture information are alternated to
create the entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses
one field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed
picture without visible scan lines.
While the player is in the Stop mode, hold the P.SCAN button down for
longer than 1 second.
The selection switches back and forth between "P.SCAN" and "I.SCAN" each time the
•
button is held down for a minimum of 1 second.
The previous mode is indicated in the display first, followed by the selected mode in about
•
a second.
What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?
Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)
Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)
CONNECTIONS
• “ ” may appear on the TV screen during operation.
This icon means the function explained in this owner’s manual is not available on
that specific DVD video disc.
Note
When the power is not turned on, press down the STOP ( ) button on the main unit for
•
over 5 seconds.
The product will be initialized to its optimum state.
Some operational features such as the Speaker mode, Test tone, Volume, etc. will not
•
be displayed on the TV screen.
In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two
interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field
contains every other horizontal line in the frame.
The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and
then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating
gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame.
One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains
two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are
displayed every 1/60th of a second each.
The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing
a still object.
Note
This function works only on TVs equipped with component video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) that support Progressive
•
Video. (It does not work on TVs with conventional component inputs, i.e., non-progressive scan TVs.)
Depending on the brand and model of your TV, this function may not work.
•
The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of
video consecutively down the screen, line by line.
As opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a
video image is drawn in a series of passes, you get an
entire image drawn at one time.
The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing
with moving objects. A camera that has the ability to
capture moving objects is called a "full frame shutter
camera".
