Features

È High picture quality

Á10 bit video D/A converter

With its 10 bit capability, this D/A converter reproduces fine images faithfully.

ÁComponent video output

When used with a compatible monitor, a video connection via the component video output jacks of your new DVD/Video CD/ CD player is capable of the most precise color reproduction in a video signal.

ÁAn array of picture quality modes yielded by digital

processing

Signal deterioration is kept to the minimum by processing the data as digital data. This feature can be used as the picture quality setting individually tailored for DVD playback.

–Cinema Image (See page 21.)

Using the On-Screen Menu Icon enables the cinema mode, which is best for the playback of movie programs, to be selected. In addition, the picture quality best suited to the type of software programs concerned can be selected. In all, four picture quality modes are provided: normal, soft, fine and cinema.

–User selection (See page 21.)

Using the On-Screen Menu Icon, the contrast, color hue, equalizer and brightness can be adjusted to suit your own preference.

–Monitor selector (See page 36.)

Once the type of TV used [Standard (Direct View TV), CRT Projector, LCD Projector, Projection TV] has been selected when the initial setting operations are performed, the optimum picture quality for the type of TV concerned will be automatically selected.

È High sound quality

Á96 kHz/24 bit audio D/A converter

This player enables 96 kHz/24 bit linear PCM signals, which constitute the highest specifications in the DVD standards, to be reproduced faithfully. To support 96 kHz sampling/24 bit sound, the shaping noise of this multi-level digital sigma type of D/A converter is kept flat up to 44 kHz, thus preventing the important audio signals from being affected in any way. In terms of the bottom line, the sound in all of its various modes is reproduced faithfully.

ÁDolby Digital 5.1ch surround decoder

(See pages 21 and 40.)

The Dolby Digital 5.1ch surround decoder incorporated in this player comes with speaker mode settings which support the low-range reproduction capability of the speakers, speaker level settings, delay time settings, audio dynamic range suppression, Cinema Dialogue function to make it easier to hear movie dialogues, and other features.

Ádts (digital theater systems) digital output (See page 10.)

By connecting an amplifier incorporating a dts decoder, you can enjoy high quality digital surround from dts discs.

È On-Screen Menu Icons (See page 18.)

By simply pressing the ON SCREEN button on the remote control, information on the DVD/Video CD/CD player and disc can be displayed on the TV screen for easy identification. The player’s operations and settings can be easily accessed by operating the cursor buttons on the remote control while monitoring the TV screen. The color and position of the On-Screen Menu Icons can be changed.

È Versatile DVD features

ÁMulti-audio function (See page 27.)

The audio soundtrack can be heard in up to 8 languages. (The number of audio sound languages depends on the software.)

ÁMulti-subtitle function (See page 28.)

Subtitles may be displayed in one of a maximum of 32 languages. (The number of the subtitle languages depends on the software.)

ÁMulti-angle function (See page 29.)

This function allows you to choose the viewing angle of scenes which were shot from a number of different angles. (Limited to DVD recorded with multiple camera angles.)

ÁParental lock function (See page 32.)

This function can prevent playback of DVD software unsuitable for some audiences (especially for children).

È Marker function (See page 26.)

This player can store a maximum of 5 positions in memory, for convenient access, as desired.

È Disc formats supported by this player

The player can play back discs bearing any of the following marks:

DVD

[3w (8 cm) disc/ 5w (12 cm) disc]

Video CD

[3w (8 cm) disc/ 5w (12 cm) disc]

È Discs which cannot be played with this

ÁDVD with Region No. other than “1” or “ALL” ÁDisc of PAL system ÁCD-G ÁDVD-ROM ÁCD-RW ÁDVD-R/DVD-RAM ÁDVDoRW ÁCD-ROM ÁCVD ÁVSD ÁSVCD ÁCDV ÁDivx Video Disc

etc.

ÁDo not try to play Photo CD or CD-R.

(Otherwise, data on the disc may be damaged.)

È Region Management Information

This player is designed and manufactured to respond to the Region Management Information that is recorded on a DVD disc. The Region number of this player is “1”. If the Region number described on the DVD disc does not correspond to the Region number of this player, this player cannot play this disc. This player will play DVD discs made for “ALL” Regions. This player will play DVD discs marked with the following symbols:

ALL

Definition of terms

Angle

Recorded onto some DVD discs are scenes which have been simultaneously shot from a number of different angles (the same scene is shot from the front, from the left side, from the right side, etc.). With such discs, the ANGLE button can be used to view the scene from different angles.

Chapter number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. A title is subdivided into many sections, each of which is numbered, and specific parts of video presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.

Digital audio output connector (Optical)

The digital audio output connector (optical) converts electrical signals into optical signals and transfers them to the amplifier. Consequently, it has a number of features including its immunity from electrical interference from external sources and its ability to prevent the generation of noise and its minimal effect on the external environment.

DVD

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 2) and high-density recording technology, DVD enables esthetically pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be recorded). DVD 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 disc 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 of play.

Playback control

This is recorded on a Video CD (version 2.0). The scenes or information to be viewed (or listened to) can be selected interactively with the TV monitor by looking at the menu shown on the TV monitor.

Getting Started

Subtitles

This is the appearance of the dialogue at the bottom of the screen which are prerecorded on some DVD discs.

Title number

These numbers are recorded on DVD discs. When a disc contains two or more movies, these movies are numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.

Track number

These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are recorded on Video CDs and CDs. They enable specific tracks to be located quickly.

Video CD

This contains recordings of pictures and sound whose quality is on a par with that of videotape. This player also supports Video CDs with playback control (version 2.0).

Field

Half of the video information (video signal) in a frame is called a field. With conventional TV systems, a signal frame (a single screen) consists of two fields.

Field still

Only one field (half of the video information) is displayed on the TV screen, so the apparent resolution is low. However, there is no blurring on the screen.

Frame

Individual images in a video or on the TV are called frames.

Frame still

The two fields are displayed, alternately, on the TV screen, so the image is blurry. However, the image quality is better than field images.

Connection

ÁEnsure that this player and other equipment to be connected are set to the standby mode or off, and disconnect the AC cord, before commencing

connection.

ÁDo not block ventilation holes of any of the equipment and arrange them so that air can circulate freely. ÁRead through the instructions before connecting other equipment. ÁEnsure that you observe the color coding when connecting audio and video cables. ÁSelect the appropriate screen type at the initial setting “6 TV Aspect” according to your TV set [4:3/16:9 and Standard (Direct View TV)/CRT Projector/

LCD Projector/Projection TV]. (See page 36.)

Notes:

ÁIf the DVD/Video CD/CD player is connected to the TV through a video cassette recorder, the picture may not be played back normally with some

DVDs.

ÁWhen playing some DVD discs, TV volume level may be lower than from some other sources, adjust the TV volume to your desired level. ÁWhen the DVD/Video CD/CD player is connected to the TV set through the component video output connectors, the ON SCREEN informations from

the amplifier will not show on the TV screen. To show them, select the input position which is connected to the amplifier on the TV set.

Do not place the player on amplifiers or other equipment which may become hot.

Connecting to an AV amplifier containing Dolby Digital or dts (digital theater systems) decoder

When DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or dts are played, Dolby Digital bitstream or dts bitstream is output from the player’s OPTICAL digital audio output connector or COAXIAL digital audio output connector. When the player is connected to a Dolby Digital decoder or dts decoder, you can enjoy theater-quality audio in your home. [An optical digital audio cable or coaxial digital audio cable (both optional) is required when an optional Dolby Digital decoder or dts decoder is used.]

Note:

ÁWhen connecting an AV amplifier which contains dts decoder, be sure to select “Bitstream” at “3 dts” of the initial setting “7 Digital

Audio Output”. (“Off” is selected at the factory preset.) If “Off” is selected, dts bitstream is not output from the digital audio output connector.

ÁSome dts decoders which do not support DVD-dts interface

may not work properly with the DVD/Video CD/CD player.

For your reference:

ÁDolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique devel-

oped by the Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc.

ÁLinear PCM is a signal recording format used in a CD. While

a CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD is recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/24 bit.

ÁIf you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will

obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.

Caution for the optical/coaxial digital audio output connector: È When connecting an amplifier (with an optical/

coaxial digital input connector) which contains the Dolby Digital decoder or dts decorder

ÁBe sure to select “Bitstream” both at “2 Dolby Digi-

tal” and “3 dts” of the initial setting “7 Digital Audio Output”. (See page 38.)

È When connecting an amplifier (with an optical/

coaxial digital input connector) which does not contain the Dolby Digital decoder or dts decoder

ÁBe sure to select “PCM” at “2 Dolby Digital” and

“Off” at “3 dts” of the initial setting “7 Digital Audio Output”. (See page 38.)

ÁOtherwise any attempt to play DVDs may cause

such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.

ÁVideo CDs and CDs can be played as they would

normally be played.

Example: in the case of the P-Picture

ÁI/P/B:

The MPEG 2 standard adopted for DVD uses the following 3 picture types for the coding of each picture (frame) on the TV screen.

I: I-Picture (Intra coded picture)

This is the standard picture type, and each picture is coded separately. Since it features the best picture quality, it is recommended that the screen be frozen with I-Picture when the picture quality is to be adjusted.

P: P-Picture (Predictive coded picture)

This picture type is computed on the basis of a past I-Picture or P-Picture.

B: B-Picture (Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture)

This picture type is computed by comparing the previous and subsequent I-Picture or P-Picture. It has the lowest volume of information.
