Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.
Do not place the unit
on amplifiers or equip-
ment that may become
hot.
The heat can damage the unit.
PRECAUTIONS
Placement
1. Ventilation—The unit should be situated so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. Allow
10 cm (4q) 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, exces-
sive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the unit and cart combination to
overturn.

manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting acces-
sory recommended by the manufacturer.
Maintenance

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 pow-
er
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, 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.

2. Condensation—Moisture may form on the lens in the following
conditions…
³immediately after a heater has been turned on.
³in a steamy or very humid room.
³when the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a

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 tempera-
tures less than 5 oC (41 oF) or greater than 35 oC (95 oF).

As this unit has built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders (➡ page 34), you can enjoy discs recorded with these systems by connecting this unit to
the 6-channel input terminals on an AV amplifier (connection [B] below). However, to enjoy the special sound effects available with AV amplifiers
that can make you feel like you were in a cinema or hall, connect this unit digitally to the AV amplifier (connection [A] below).
Use analog connection [B] to enjoy the high quality audio (sampling frequencies of 192 kHz and 96 kHz) and multi-channel audio found
on DVD-Audio. If the disc is copyright-protected, the audio can only be output through the digital output terminal if it is converted to 48
kHz.

Connections using the S video or component video terminals
Audio connections (➡ pages 9 and 10)
[A] S VIDEO OUT terminal
The S VIDEO terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the
VIDEO terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance
(Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)
[B] COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal
These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive out-
put and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO terminal.
Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference sig-
nals (P
B/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve
high fidelity in reproducing colors.
³The description of the component video input terminals depends
on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/P
B/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR).
Connect to terminals of the same color.
³After making this connection, change the black level for a better
picture (➡ page 29, Video—Black Level Control).
To enjoy progressive video
1. Connect to the component video (480p) input terminals on
a television compatible with this unit’s copy guard system.
Video will not be displayed correctly if you connect to a
television that is incompatible with this unit’s copy guard
system.
2. Press [PROGRESSIVE ON] on the front panel so the
indicator lights (➡ page 15).
Recording to MDs or cassette tapes
To make a digital recording
1. Connect the recording equipment with an optical or coaxial digit-
al audio cable (➡ page 9 [A]).
2. When recording DVDs, make the following settings.
VIRTUAL SURROUND (V.S.S.): OFF (➡ page 22)
Digital Audio Output: On (➡ page 29)
PCM Down Conversion: Yes (➡ page 29)
Dolby Digital and DTS Digital Surround: PCM (➡ page 29)
Note
³With CDs, wait for the total play time to appear before turning on
your recording unit’s synchro recording feature. The beginning
may be cut off if you turn it on while “READING” is displayed.
³With DVDs, recording may be interrupted when a new chapter be-
gins. Use analog recording if this persists.
These phenomena occur because DVD players must first deter-
mine the audio format and sampling frequency before switching
digital output.
º Analog recording
You can record to an MD or cassette deck. Using analog connection
means sound will be unaffected by the copy guards found on DVDs.
To make an analog recording
Connect the recording equipment with an audio cable
(➡ page 10 [D]).
º Digital recording
You can record the digital signal directly onto an MD.
The signals on DVDs will be converted to 48 kHz/16 bit linear PCM.
Ensure the following conditions are met.
³There is no copy guard recorded on the disc.
³The recording equipment can handle a sampling frequency of
48 kHz/16 bit.

Speaker setting
[DVD-A] [DVD-V]
Change speaker size and presence =, delay time >, and channel
balance ? to suit the speakers you have connected.
These settings are not necessary when you select “2-channel”
(only two speakers are connected).
Speaker presence and size (=)
1. Press the cursor buttons [3, 4, 2, 1] to select the item and
press [ENTER].
2. Press the cursor buttons [3, 4] to select the setting and
press [ENTER].
Icon examples: Rear speaker (L) [A]
Large: When the speaker supports low-frequency (under 100 Hz)
reproduction.
Small: Select when the speaker does not support low-frequency
reproduction.
The size setting for the main speakers is automatically determined
by the setting for the subwoofer.
»
B
Delay time (>)
[DVD-V] (Dolby Digital, center and rear speakers only)
For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, ex-
cept for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seat-
ing position. If you have to place the center or rear speakers closer
to the seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for the dif-
ference.
If distance @ (from the center speaker) and B (from the rear speak-
ers) are the same as or greater than A (from the main speakers),
leave the delay time as “0”, the factory preset.
If either distance @ or B is less than A, find the difference in the
relevant table and change to the recommended setting.
Changing the delay time
1. Press the cursor buttons [3, 4, 2, 1] to select the delay
time box and press [ENTER].
2. Press the cursor buttons [3, 4] to adjust the delay time and
press [ENTER].
Speaker balance (?)
1. Press the cursor buttons [3, 4, 2, 1] to select “Test” and
press [ENTER].
A test signal is output from one speaker at a time, starting with
the main left speaker and proceeding clockwise.
MAIN (L)>CENTER>MAIN (R)
:;
REAR (L)(-----------==REAR (R)
2. While listening to the test signal, press the cursor buttons
[3, 4] to adjust the volume of the center and rear speakers
so they are the same apparent volume as the main speakers
(s6 dB to r6 dB).
(The main speakers cannot be adjusted here.)
3. Press [ENTER].
The test signal stops.
Note
³Test signal is effective only when you made analog connection.
When you make digital connection, make adjustment using the
test tone on the amplifier.
³No signal is output for the subwoofer. To adjust its volume, play
something, then return to this screen to adjust to suit your taste.
When you are finished
Press the cursor buttons [3, 4, 2, 1] to select “Exit” and press
[ENTER].
Note
The unit may be unable to output as set here due to limitations im-
posed by the unit itself or the disc being played. (The FL display’s
“P.PCM” indicator lights or “D.MIX” indicator goes out in these
cases.)

Digital output
Change these settings when you have connected equipment
through this unit’s DIGITAL AUDIO OUT terminals (OPTICAL or
COAXIAL).
Refer also to Common procedures (➡ page 28) and the Audio sec-
tion in Summary of settings (➡ page 29).
PCM Down Conversion
Select how to output the high-quality audio signals (sampling fre-
quencies of 96 kHz and 88.2 kHz) on discs that do not have copy-
right
protection. Choose the settings to suit the equipment you have con-
nected.

nals.
Note
Signals are down-sampled to either 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz despite the
above settings if they have a sampling frequency of 176.4 kHz or
more or are copyright protected.

These changes to digital audio output must be made, other-
wise bitstream signals the decoder cannot handle will be out-
put. If these signals are output, “noise” will be output which
can cause harm to your ears and speakers.

Reference
I/P/B
MPEG, 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)
PCM is the usual digital method used for music CDs. DVDs have a
greater volume so they use linear PCM, which has a higher sam-
pling rate. Compressed PCM signals are called packed PCM
(PPCM).
Optical digital audio cable
This cable carries optical digital signals to the amplifier to reduce
noise caused by electronic interference.
Pan&Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be
viewed on a widescreen television with an aspect ratio of 16:9. This
means you can view most material with the intended aspect ratio on
a widescreen television.
Material with this ratio will not fit onto a standard television with an
aspect ratio of 4:3. Two styles of picture, “Pan&Scan” and “Letter-
box”, deal with this problem.
Pan&Scan: The sides are cut off so the picture fills the screen.
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bottom of the picture
so the picture itself appears in an aspect ratio of 16:9.
Playback control (PBC)
If a Video CD has “playback control” written on it or its jacket, it
means that particular scenes or information can be selected for
viewing interactively with the television using the menu screen. This
unit can play Video CDs with playback control.
Using menus to control play of a Video CD is called “menu play” in
these operating instructions.
Play list
This is a collection of scenes. It enables you to play these scenes in
succession or to select specific ones to play.
Program
This is a division on DVD-RAM.
Direct navigator
This is a list of programs you have recorded. You can select pro-
grams from the list to view. The list also shows the date and time of
recording, the channel, and the titles of titled programs. The select-
ed program is played in the background, making selection even sim-
pler.
Sampling rate
This is the number of samples of sound taken per second during
conversion to a digital signal. Sampling frequency is expressed in
kilohertz (kHz). A high sampling frequency results in a sound close
to the original when played back.
Title/Chapter
DVD-Video are divided up into large sections, titles, and smaller
sections, chapters. The numbers allocated to these sections are
called title numbers and chapter numbers.
Track
This is the smallest division on DVD-Audio, CD, and Video CD, and
usually equates to a single song.
Bitstream
This is the digital form of multiple channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 chan-
nel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
Decoder
A decoder restores the coded signals on DVDs to normal. This is
called decoding.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Labo-
ratories. 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.
Film and video
DVDs are recorded using either film or video. Film is recorded at
24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at, although some
recent progressive material is recorded at 30 frames per second.
Video is recorded at 30 frames per second.
Frame still and field still
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.
Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving pic-
ture. 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.
Interlace and progressive output
NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines,
whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines.
This is called 480p. The 480i video signals output from this unit’s
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals (Y, P
B/CB, PR/CR) allow you to
enjoy higher quality pictures than if the signals were output from the
video output terminal or S VIDEO OUT terminal. The COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT terminals are also able to handle 480p (progressive)
video signals which are of even greater resolution.
