Before using this unit please read these operating instructions carefully.
Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit itself as well
as the safety suggestions listed below.
Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.

Safety

1. Power Source—The unit should be connected to a power supply only

of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the
unit. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,
consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

2. Polarization—If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will fit into the
AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

3. Power Cord Protection—AC power supply cords should be routed so
that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon
or against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet,

09

and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.

4. Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

5. Nonuse Periods—When the unit is not being used, turn the power off.
When left unused for a long time, the unit should be unplugged from
the household AC outlet.

6. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the unit
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

Installation

Environment

1. Water and Moisture— Do not use this unit near water—for example,

near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like. Damp
basements should also be avoided.

2. Condensation—Moisture may form on the lens in the following
conditions...

≥immediately after a heater has been turned on.
≥in a steamy or very humid room.
≥

when the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a warm one.
If moisture forms inside this unit, it may not operate properly. To
correct this problem, turn on the power and wait about one hour for the
moisture to evaporate.

3. Heat—The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators and the like. It also should not be placed in temperatures less
than 5 ˚C (41 ˚F) or greater than 35 ˚C (95 ˚F).

Placement

1. Ventilation—The unit should be situated so that its location or position

does not interfere with its proper ventilation. Allow 10 cm (4˝) clearance
from the rear of the unit.

2. Foreign Material—Care should be taken so that objects do not fall
into and liquids are not spilled into the unit. Do not subject this unit to
excessive smoke, dust, mechanical vibration, or shock.

3. Carts and Stands— The unit should be used only
with a cart or stand that is recommended by the
manufacturer. The unit and cart combination should
be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may cause the unit and cart
combination to overturn.

4. Mounting—Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer.

Getting started

Do not place the unit
on amplifiers or equip­ment that may become
hot.

The heat can damage the unit.

Maintenance

Disconnect this unit from the AC outlet before cleaning.
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened
with a mild detergent solution.
Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as
alcohol or benzine.

This unit equips three types of video jacks as follows:

1. VIDEO jack

This jack transmits conventional composite video signal. Connect this jack
to your AV amplifier so that you can switch the both audio and video inputs
at once.

2. S VIDEO jack

This jack transmits color and luminance separately and achieves high
quality color reproduction. Connect this jack to your television using a
commercially available S-Video cable. If your AV amplifier equipped with S
VIDEO input and output jacks, connect to the AV amplifier so that you can
switch the both audio and video inputs at once.

Amplifier: e.g. AVR-S80

3. COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks

These jacks transmit color difference and luminance separately and
provide the best quality picture. Connect these jacks to the corresponding
jacks of your television. If your AV amplifier equipped with COMPONENT
VIDEO input and output jacks, connect to the AV amplifier so that you can
switch the both audio and video inputs at once.

Glossary

Bitstream

This is the digital form of multiple channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)
before it is decoded into its various channels.

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is
called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories.
Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be 5.1-channel
audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc
using this method.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 chan­nels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround channel is
monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world.
There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects
are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can
be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound
before distortion occurs.

Reference

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture.
There are about 30 frames shown each second.
One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields
one after the other to create frames.
A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up
of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall
quality is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information
of a frame still so picture quality is lower.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with
DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.
I: Intra coded picture (I-picture)

This is the standard picture and is a complete picture in itself. This
means it has the best picture quality and is the best to use when
adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture (P-picture)

This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.

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

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures
so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information
with menus (called menu play in these instructions).
