Before Use (Continued)

Precautions

Handling the unit

When shipping the unit

The original shipping carton and packing materials come in handy. For maximum protection, re-pack the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

When setting up the unit

The picture and sound of a nearby TV, VCR, or radio may be distorted during playback. In this case, position the unit away from the TV, VCR, or radio, or turn off the unit after removing the disc.

To keep the exterior surfaces clean

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They will leave marks on the surface.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD player is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn, the picture quality will be poor. Regular inspection and maintenance are recommended after every 1,000 hours of use. (This depends on the operating environment.) For details, please contact your nearest dealer.

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get on the surface. Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

Storing discs

After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car exposed to direct sunlight, as there may be a considerable temperature increase inside the car.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older vinyl records.

Digital Audio Output

Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options. Set the player’s Digital Audio Output according to the type of audio system you use.

DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM: Select “DOLBY DIGITAL/PCM” if you connected the DVD Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to a Dolby Digital decoder (or an amplifier or other equipment with a Dolby Digital decoder).

Stream/PCM: Select “Stream/PCM” if you connected the DVD Player’s DIGITAL OUT jack to an amplifier or other equipment with a DTS decoder, Dolby Digital decoder or MPEG decoder. If you like to have DTS sounds from the digital output jack, you have to select “Stream/PCM”.

PCM: Select when connected to a 2-channel digital stereo amplifier. The DVD player outputs sounds in the PCM 2ch format when you play a DVD video disc recorded on the Dolby Digital, MPEG1, or MPEG2 recording system.

Sample Frequency

To change the Sample Frequency setting, first select the desired Digital Audio Output as indicated as above.

(1) If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of

handling 96KHz signals, loud buzzing sounds might be heard. In this case, select 48 KHz. When this choice is made, this unit will automatically convert any 96KHz signals to 48KHz so your system can decode them.

(2) If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling

96KHz signals, select 96KHz. When this choice is made, this unit will pass each type of signal through without any further processing.

5.1 Speaker settings

Select speaker settings, including volume balance and delay time, or test the speaker settings. Speaker settings are only active on the Analog MultiChannel Output. (See “Speaker Settings”, page 27.)

ENTER. The setting of the selected item is changed between On and Off.

Dynamic Range Control (DRC)

With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack in the most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the loudest sounds and the quietest ones). Then, you may listen to a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set DRC to On for this effect.

Vocal

Set Vocal to On only when a multi-channel karaoke DVD is playing. The karaoke channels on the disc will mix into normal stereo sound.

PBC

Set Playback Control (PBC) to On or Off.

On: Video CDs with PBC are played according to the PBC. Off:

Video CDs with PBC are played the same way as Audio CDs.

Auto Play

You can set up the DVD Player so a DVD disc automatically starts playing whenever the DVD is inserted. If Auto Play mode is set to On, this DVD player will search a title where playback time is longest and then play back the title automatically.

On: Auto Play function is activated. Off: Auto Play function is not activated.

Note

The Auto Play function may not work for some DVDs.

B.L.E. (Black Level Expansion)

To select the black level of playback pictures. Set your preference and monitor’s ability.

On: Expanded grey scale. (0 IRE cut off) Off: Standard grey scale. (7.5 IRE cut off)

Pluge (Blacker than Black)

For proper adjustment of your television brightness settings utilizing a commercially available test disc.

On:

Select when you adjust the level of your TV using a commercially available test disc that contains pluge signals.

Off: For normal use.

DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)

You can reduce ambient noise in the picture.

DNR1: Normal level DNR2: Expanded level. Off: Off.

Notes

– Actual picture enhancement may vary depending on the

quality of the disc.

– While the DNR2 (expanded level) can provide additional

improvement in the reduction of noise in the video signal, it may produce undesirable picture artifacts on some discs. Should this occur, select a more appropriate DNR level (normal or off).

– Depending on the disc, some picture detail may be lost by

the picture enhancement.

– A DVD audio disc with Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack may

be played, some DVD audio discs include moving pictures which may be modified by the above processes.

DVD Audio is a new disc format building on the success of DVD to provide high quality, uncompressed, multichannel audio for a new experience in audio quality. A DVD Audio disc can be identified by the DVD audio logo on the disc jacket or on the disc itself.

DVD Audio can provide higher quality stereo than Audio CDs with a sampling rate of up to 192kHz (compared to

44.1kHz for CDs). DVD Audio digital sound can be delivered with up to 24 bits of data (compared to 16 bits for a standard CD).

A typical DVD Audio disc contains up to seven times the data capacity of a CD. This additional space is used for music, either Advanced Resolution multi-channel sound quality that is closer to the artist’s master recording or for longer recordings. Many DVD Audio discs contain on-screen text, such as artist biographies, playlists, or lyrics. Some DVD Audio discs contain photo galleries or video clips.

Note

To enjoy maximum sound quality and surround effect of DVD Audio, you must use 5.1 channel analog audio output (5.1CH AUDIO OUT jacks on the DVD Player). If you use the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) for your audio connection, the sound will only be similar to CD-quality sound even though you’re playing a DVD Audio disc and might not have sorround effect.

Moving to another GROUP

Some DVD Audio discs divide content into different groups. Your player enables you to quickly access different groups during playback via the on-screen display.

1 Press DISPLAY during playback on in stop mode. 2 Press 33/44to select Group icon. 3 Press 1/2 or the numbered buttons (0-9) to select a

group number.

Note

Sometimes the author of the disc creates hidden content that can only be accessed by entering a password. If the lock icon appears on the TV screen, enter the password (sometimes you’ll find it on the disc’s jacket cover or on a web site). This password control isn’t dictated by your DVD Player — it is a function of the disc. Since the authoring of DVD Audio Discs varies, some of the on-screen display choices might not be available for the disc you’re playing.

Viewing another PAGE

Since DVD Audio discs can hold a lot of content, there are various ways to see what’s available on the disc.

1 Press DISPLAY during playback. 2 Press 33/44to select Page icon. 3 Press 1/2 to select a page number.

What appears on the screen will vary from disc to disc because the information available depends upon the way the disc was created.

Note

Since the authoring of DVD Audio Discs varies, some of the on-screen display choices might not be available for the disc you’re playing.

Notes on MP3/WMA Recordings

About MP3

An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme. We call files that have the “.mp3” file extension “MP3 files”.

The player can not read an MP3 file that has a file extension other than “.mp3”.

About WMA(Window Media Audio)

An WMA file is a Microsoft audio compression technology.

WMA(Windows Media Audio) offers double the audio compression of the MP3 format.

MP3/WMA Disc compatibility with this player is limited as follows:

1. Sampling Frequency / only at 44.1kHz (MP3),

22.05 - 44.1kHz (WMA)

2. Bit rate / within 32 - 320kbps (MP3), 32 - 128kbps (WMA)

3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”

4. If you record MP3/WMA files using the software which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for example “Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to playback MP3/WMA files. We recommend that you use “Easy CD Creator”, which creates an ISO9660 file system.

5. A single session disc requires MP3/WMA files in the first track. If there is no MP3/WMA file in the 1st track, it cannot playback MP3/WMA files. If you wish to playback MP3/WMA files, format all the data in the disc or use a new one.

6. File names should be named using 8 letters or less and must incorporate “.mp3” or “.wma” extension e.g. “********.MP3” or “********.WMA”.

7. Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ” etc.

8. Total number of files on the disc should be less than

650.

This DVD player requires discs/recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files). That require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to insure compatible playback.

Customers should also note that permission is required in order to download MP3/WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.

Notes on JPEG Recordings

Depending upon the size and number of the JPEG files, it could take a long time for the DVD player to read the disc’s contents. If you don’t see an onscreen display after several minutes, some of the files are too big — reduce the resolution of the JPEG files to less than 2 mega pixels and burn another disc.

Total number of files and folders on the disc should be less than 650.

Some disc may be incompatible due to different recording format or condition of disc.

z When you are using software such as “Easy CD

Creator” to burn the jpeg files into the CD-R, ensure that all the selected files have the “.jpg” extensions when copying into the CD layout.

z If the files have “.jpe” or “.jpeg” extensions, please

rename them as “.jpg” files.
