Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

Remove fuse cover and fuse.

Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your jack outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp jack elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

– Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or

coloured black.

– Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L

or coloured red.

– Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in

the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.

L’appareil n’est pas isolé de la source d’alimentation aussi longtemps qu’il reste branché sur une prise murale, même lorsqu’il est éteint. Il est alors dit en mode «Veille». Dans ce mode, l’appareil consomme très peu de courant.

Das Gerät ist nicht vom Netz getrennt, solange der Netzstecker noch mit der Wandsteckdose verbunden ist, selbst wenn das Gerät ausgeschaltet wurde. Dieser Betriebszustand wird als Bereitschaftsmodus bezeichnet. In diesem Zustand nimmt das Gerät eine sehr geringe Menge Strom auf.

Enheten är inte urkopplad från nätet så länge som den är ansluten till vägguttaget även om enheten i sig självt är avstängd. Detta kallas för beredskapsläge och i detta tillstånd konsumerar apparaten minimalt med ström.

L’unità non è scollegata dall’impianto elettrico di casa sintanto che rimane collegata ad una presa di corrente anche se è spenta. Questo modo viene chiamato “modo di attesa”. In esso, l’unità consuma una quantità molto bassa di energia per mantenere in memoria le impostazioni da voi fatte.

Aunque el propio aparato se encuentre apagado, éste no se desconectará de la fuente de CA siempre que se mantenga enchufado a la toma de corriente. Este estado recibe el nombre de “modo de espera”. En este estado, este aparato ha sido diseñado para consumir una cantidad muy pequeña de energía.

De stroomtoevoer naar het toestel is niet afgesloten zolang de stekker nog in het stopcontact zit, zelfs niet als het toestel zelf uitgeschakeld is. Deze toestand wordt “standby” (waak- of paraatstand) genoemd. Het toestel is ontworpen om in deze toestand.

Данное устройство не отсоединено от источника переменного напряжения до тех пор, пока оно подключено к настенной розетке, даже если само данное устройство выключено. Это состояние называется режимом готовности. В этом состоянии данное устройство потребляет очень малое количество электроэнергии.

Basic playback controls

The table below shows the basic controls on the remote for playing discs. The following chapter covers other playback features in more detail.

Button What it does

 Starts playback.

If the display shows RESUME or LAST MEM playback starts from the resume or last memory point (see also Resume and Last Memory below.)

 Pauses a disc that’s playing, or

restarts a paused disc.

 Stops playback.

Resume and Last Memory

When you stop playback of a DVD, CD, Video CD/Super VCD or DivX video discs, RESUME is shown in the display indicating that you can resume playback again from that point.

FAQ

• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds!

Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your player. The region number should be printed on the disc; check it against the region number of the player (which you can find on the rear panel). See also DVD-Video regions on page 37.

If the region number is OK, it may be that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc and look for signs of damage. See also Taking care of your player and discs on page 35.

• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?

First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that it’s clean and undamaged. See Taking care of your player and discs on page 35 for information on cleaning discs.

If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM. See Disc/content format playback compatibility on page 5 for more on disc compatibility.

•I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play some discs?

Some movie formats are such that even when played on a widescreen TV, black bars are necessary at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.

•I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the player to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so why do I still get black bars top and bottom with some discs?

Some discs override the display preferences of the player, so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those discs will still be shown in letter box format. This is not a malfunction.

Equalizer Virtual Surround Audio DRC Dialog

Audio DRC

• Settings: High, Medium, Low, Off

(default)

When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume, it’s easy to lose the quieter sounds completely—including some of the dialog. Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Control) to on can help by bringing up the quieter sounds, while controlling loud peaks.

How much of a difference you hear depends on the material you’re listening to. If the material doesn’t have wide variations in volume, you may not notice much change.

Note

• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources.

On Off

• Audio DRC is only effective through the digital output when Digital Out is set to

On, and Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby Digital > PCM (see Digital Audio Out

settings on page 30).

• The effect of Audio DRC also depends on your speakers and AV receiver settings.

Virtual Surround

• Settings: On, Off (default)

Switch on Virtual Surround to enjoy realistic surround sound effects from just two speakers.

Tip

• You can also use the SURROUND button on the remote control to switch Virtual Surround on.

Note

• Virtual Surround doesn’t work with DTS, through either the analog or digital outputs.

• 96kHz linear PCM audio is automatically downsampled to 48kHz if Virtual Surround is switched on.

• If the player is outputting Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG bitstream audio (in other words, no conversion to PCM), Virtual Surround has no effect on the audio from the digital output. See Digital Audio Out settings on page 30 for how to set up the digital output formats.

• How good the surround effect is varies with the disc.

About DivX® VOD content

In order to play DivX VOD (video on demand) content on this player, you first need to register the player with your DivX VOD content provider. You do this by generating a DivX VOD registration code, which you submit to your provider.

Important

• DivX VOD content is protected by a DRM (Digital Rights Management) system. This restricts playback of content to specific, registered devices.

• If you load a disc that contains DivX VOD content not authorized for your player, the message Authorization Error is displayed and the content will not play.

• Resetting the player (page 37) will not cause you to lose your registration code.

Playing DivX® VOD content

Some DivX VOD content may only be playable a fixed number of times. When you load a disc containing this type of DivX VOD content, the remaining number of plays is shown on-screen and you then have the option of playing the disc (thereby using up one of the remaining plays), or stopping. If you load a disc that contains expired DivX VOD content (for example, content that has zero remaining plays), the message Rental Expired is displayed.

If your DivX VOD content allows an unlimited number of plays, then you may load the disc into your player and play the content as often as you like, and no message will be displayed.

Taking care of your player and discs

General

Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole and edge.

When you're not using a disc, return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight).

Don't glue paper or put stickers on to discs. Do not use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharptipped writing instrument to write on the disc.

Don’t use self-adhesive disc labels on discs as these can cause the disc to warp slightly during playback causing distortion in the picture and/or sound.

Damaged and shaped discs

Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged discs as they may damage the player.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on discs can affect playback performance. Clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown below.

If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records.

Cleaning the unit’s exterior

Unplug the unit before cleaning. Use a dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. If the

surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry cloth.

Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit.

If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning cloth, read the instructions carefully before use. These cloths may leave smear marks on half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry cloth.

This player is designed to be used only with conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use shaped discs. YAMAHA disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Page 39

Additional information

Cleaning the pickup lens

The DVD player’s lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest YAMAHA authorized service center. We do not recommend using commercially available lens cleaners for CD players.

Condensation

Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won’t damage the player, it may temporarily impair its performance. Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on.

Moving the player

If you need to move the player, first press STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the player off. Wait for -OFF- to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cable. Never lift or move the unit during playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

Screen sizes and disc formats

DVD-Video discs come in several different screen aspect ratios, ranging from TV programs, which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.

Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 31) of this player should be set to 16:9 (Wide).

When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details.

Please note that some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even though you have a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a ‘letter box’ style with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting (page 31) of this player should be set to 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan), depending on which you prefer.

Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are shown with black bars top and bottom.

Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are shown with the left and right sides cropped. Although the picture looks larger, you don’t actually see the whole picture.

Please note that many widescreen discs override the player’s settings so that the disc is shown in letter box format regardless of the setting.

Note

• Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in a distorted picture.

English

Additional information08

Setting the TV system

The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO. If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region’s system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).

1 If the player is on, press STANDBY/ON to switch it to standby.

2 Using the front panel controls, hold down  then press STANDBY/ON to switch the TV system.

The TV system changes as follows:

• AUTO NTSC

• NTSC PAL

• PAL AUTO

Note

• You have to switch the player into standby (press STANDBY/ON) before each change.

2 Using the front panel buttons, hold down the  (stop) button and press STANDBY/ON to switch the player back on.

All the player’s settings are now reset.

DVD-Video regions

All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on the case somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the world the disc is compatible with. Your DVD player also has a region mark, which you can find on the rear panel. Discs from incompatible regions will not play in this player. Discs marked ALL will play in any player.

The diagram below shows the various DVD regions of the world.

Selecting languages using the language code list

Some of the language options (such as ‘DVD Language’ in the Setup Navigator) allow you to set your preferred language from any of the 136 languages listed in the language code list on page 38.

1 Select ‘Other Language’. 2 Use the cursor left/right ( ) buttons
