Before Use (Continued)

Precautions

Notes on Discs

Handling discs

Handling the unit

Do not touch the playback side of the disc.

Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not

get on the surface.

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.

Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

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.

Storing discs

To keep the exterior surfaces clean

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 sun-

light, as there may be a considerable temperature

increase inside the car.

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

Cleaning discs

To clean the cabinet

Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause poor pic-

ture quality and sound distortion. Before playing, clean

the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe the disc from the cen-

ter out.

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.)

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,

thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static

spray intended for older vinyl records.

to connect, there are various ways you could connect

the player. Use only one of the connections

described below.

^ꢀIf your TV does not accept the Progressive Scan for-

mat, the picture will appear scrambled if you try

Progressive Scan on the DVD Player.

^ꢀPlease refer to the manuals of your TV, VCR, Stereo

System or other devices as necessary to make the

best connections.

^ꢀFor better sound reproduction, connect the player’s

AUDIO OUT jacks to the audio in jacks of your

amplifier, receiver, stereo or audio/video equipment.

See “Connecting to Optional Equipment”

on page 11-12.

Connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on

the DVD Player to the corresponding in jacks on

the TV using an optional Y, CB/PB, CR/PR cable (C).

Viewing another PAGE

DVD-A

Since DVD Audio discs can hold a lot of content, there

are various ways to see what’s available on the disc.

1 Press OSD during playback.

DVD Audio is a new disc format building on the success

of DVD to provide high quality, uncompressed, multi-

channel 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.

2 Press 3/4to 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.

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).

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.

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.

1/6

Moving to another GROUP

DVD-A

Some DVD Audio discs divide content into different

groups. Your player enables you to quickly access dif-

ferent groups during playback via the on-screen display.

1 Press OSD during playback on in stop mode.

2 Press 3/4to 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 con-

tent 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 dic-

tated 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.

^ꢀ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”.

The DVD Player can play MP3/WMA formatted record-

ings on CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW discs.

Before playing MP3/WMA recordings, read the notes on

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”.

HDCD Playback

HDCD is a process that increases the fidelity of both

specially encoded HDCD discs and standard CD audio

discs. When an HDCD-encoded disc is playing, the spe-

cial decoder is automatically activated and the HDCD

Indicator lights. No user intervention is required.

To enjoy the benefits of HDCD, your DVD Player must

be connected to your A/V receiver via the Analog Audio

Outputs. However, if your A/V receiver or surround

processor is equipped with built-in HDCD decoding, you

may also use a Coaxial or Optical digital audio connec-

tion so that the HDCD processing is done there.
