Handling the unit
When shipping the unit
The original shipping carton and packing materials come
in handy. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it
was originally packed at the factory.
When setting 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.
To keep the surface clean
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.
Handling discs
Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints will not get
on the surface.
Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
Cleaning the unit
To clean the cabinet
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
down, 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.)
For details, please contact your Aiwa dealer.

Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine,
thinner, commerciallyavailable cleaners,or anti-staticspray
intended for analog records.
Storing discs
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 sunlight, as
there may be a considerable temperature increase inside
the car.

INTRODUCTION

General information on progressive scan
This unit includes a progressive scan conversion circuit.This generates high-resolution progressive scan video, with a lower
flicker rate, allowing you to see the movie at its original quality.
What is a progressive scan?
The conventional television system has 525 scan lines
making up a frame, but these are scanned in alternate
interlacedpasses of the 262.5 oddscan linesand the 262.5
even scan lines (in the case of the NTSC color system).
Since its frame rate is 30 frames per second, one of these
passes, termed a field, occurs every 1/60 second. With
larger screens, since the whole screen is only refreshed
every 1/30 second, there can be noticeable flickers.
In distinction to this, a progressive scan is one where all of
the lines are scanned successively in a single pass. By
saving a field in memory, it is possible to convert an
interlaced video signal to a progressive scan, which then
allows the image to be refreshed every 1/60 second,
reducing flickers on a large screen.
Advantages of progressive scan conversion in the DVD player
Conventional interlaced scan
(525 lines) Progressive scan
525 lines
262.5 lines
Scan of one field (1/60 second) Scan of whole frame (1/60 second)
Since the DVD player converts the video signal to a
progressivescan before digital-analog conversion, thetotal
number of conversions the signal undergoes is reduced,
compared with using a progressive scan conversion in the
television (see following figure). This reduces signal
degradation, and allows higher quality video playback.

Notes on connecting to a TV
•If picture noise appears while playing copy-protected
DVDs, connect the unit directly to a TV. Do not connect
through a VCR, TV/VCR orAV selector.
•The unit cannot be connected to a TV which is not
equipped with a video input connector.
•Usea commerciallyavailablestereo-monaural audiocord
when connecting to a monaural TV.
•If you are connecting the unit to a TV equipped with an
S-video input connector, it is recommended that a
commercially available S-video cord be used to achieve
the best possible picture clarity.
About component video output jacks
(CR/CB/Y)
Thecomponent video output jacks outputthe different color
signals(CR/CB) andluminance signal(Y) separatelyin order
to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.
The descriptions of the component video input connectors
on TV sets may differ depending on the TV or monitor.
Among descriptions generally used are PR/PB/Y, CR/CB/Y
and R-Y/B-Y/Y.
Before making connections, identify the type of your audio equipment and TV referring to the respective charts. Then,
decide the connection and setup procedures accordingly.
Before making connections
•Connect the AC cords of the unit and any external equipment last, after finishing all other connections.
•Insert the plugs completely into the jacks. Loose connections may produce a humming sound or other noise interference.
•Refer to the instructions of the connected equipment. For speaker connections, refer to the instructions of the connected
AV receiver.

Connections
Progressive scan connection
If you are using a high-definition or "digital ready" TV that
is compatible with progressive scan signals, you can take
advantage of the unit's progressive scan output for high
quality video with less flickers. For more information on the
mechanism and features of progressive scan, see page 7.
To use the unit's progressive scan output, you need
to:
–UseaTV that iscompatible with progressivescan signals.
–Set the VIDEO OUTPUTswitch on the rear of the unit to
"COMPONENT/PROGRESSIVE SCAN" before
connecting to the TV.
–Connect the COMPONENTVIDEO OUT (CR/CB/Y) jacks
on the unit to the component video input connectors on
the TV using commercially available video cables.
–Set the "Progressive Scan" in the setup menu to "On"
for output of progressive scan signals.
CAUTION
DO NOT set the "Progressive Scan" in the setup menu
to "On" when connecting to a TV that is not compatible
with progressive scan signals. If you set "Progressive
Scan" to "On" in error, the picture will appear scrambled.
In this case, reset the unit by holding down sfor more
than 5 seconds in stop mode. The original video output
will be restored and the picture will become visible again.

Notes on digital audio connections
•When using an optical connection, remove the dust cap
from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICALjack on the rear of the
unit. Keep the cap handy. When not using the optical
connection, the dust cap should be replaced.
•Use either a commercially available optical cord or a 75-

amplifier with a digital input jack. The supplied video cord
can also be used instead of a coaxial cord.
CAUTION
DONOTselect"DOLBYDIGITAL/PCM"or "Stream/PCM"
for the "Digital Audio Output" in the setup menu when
connecting to an AV receiver not equipped with a Dolby
Digital decoder or DTS decoder (with an optical or coaxial
connecting cord).
Merely attempting to play a disc may cause a screeching
noise which could be harmful to your ears and damage
the speakers. In this case, be sure to select "PCM" for the
"Digital Audio Output".
Note on DTS-encoded CDs
When playing DTS-encoded CDs, excessive noise will be
exhibited from the analog stereo outputs.To avoid possible
damage to the audio system, turn down the volume before
playing back such discs, adjust the volume gradually, and
keep the volume level low. To enjoy DTS Digital SurroundTM
playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital SurroundTM
decoder system must be connected to the digital output of
the unit.
