your home, consult your local dealer or power company.
• Hold the plug firmly when connecting or disconnecting the

temperatures inside the unit. Do not place this unit in closed
spaces, cover it, or otherwise block the vents.
•Do not place this unit in direct sunlight, or near heat sources.
•Keep this unit away from strong magnetic objects.
•Do not insert or drop anything into this unit through the air
vents as this could cause serious damage, possibly resulting

Recommended measures for optimum picture excellence
This unit is a precision device that is constructed using extremely
accurate technology.
• Soiling or friction affecting the pickup lens or disc drive can
impair the image quality. At the worst, neither video nor
audio will be played back. To obtain optimum picture quality,
the player should be checked (cleaning and replacement of
some parts) every 1,000 hours. Note that this period varies
depending on the environment (temperature, humidity, dust,
etc..) in which the player is used.
• Do not attempt to clean the pickup lens yourself.
To avoid interference while watching television
• When not in use, we recommend that you leave the power for
your unit turned off. If you experience interference during
normal television viewing, simply turn the DVD player deck
off. This is not a malfunction of the unit or the television.

Summary of Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround, Dolby Pro Logic and DTS.
Almost every DVD disc has audio recorded in Dolby Digital format. DTS is an optional format that can be
recorded in addition to Dolby Digital audio. Dolby Digital and DTS can store mono, stereo and multichannel
audio (usually 5.1 channels).
Dolby Surround is a standard audio mixing technique that adds a rear channel and a center channel onto a 2-
channel signal. A Dolby Surround signal can be played on any stereo system, in which case the rear and
center channel sounds remain mixed in with the right and left channels.
When a Dolby Surround signal is played on a multichannel audio system, the extra channels are extracted to
feed the center and rear speakers. The original technique of decoding Dolby Surround extracts only the rear
channel. An improved decoding technique, Dolby Pro Logic extracts the rear and center channels. Dolby Pro
Logic II extracts both the extracts the center and rear channels and processes the audio channels to create
more of a 3D environment. Dolby surround is independent of the storage or transmission format. In other
words, a 2-channel Dolby Surround signal can be analog audio, broadcast TV audio, digital PCM audio,
Dolby Digital, DTS, MP3, audio on a VHS tape, etc.
Note
• Using the AUDIO SETUP Menu, select SPDIF/
PCM. (See page 25)
Note
• Using the AUDIO SETUP Menu, select
SPDIF/OFF. (See page 25)

BEST SOUND QUALITY
Dolby Digital or DTS
Dolby Digital is the surround sound technology used in theaters and now available for home use. Now you can
enjoy home theater or concert like audio with the most amazing sound quality in the comforts of your own
home. Dolby Digital and DTS programming can deliver surround with five discrete full range channels plus a
sixth channel for subwoofers (5.1 format).
Unlike Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital encodes each channel independently. Dolby Digital can carry up to 5
channels( left, center, right, left surround, right surround) plus an omnidirectional sub-woofer (LFE or Low
Effects Channel). The built in 2 channel Dolby Digital decoder in every DVD player handles multi channel audio
by down mixing it to two channels using Dolby Surround. This allows the analog stereo outputs to be
connected to just about anything, including TV and audio systems with Dolby Pro Logic capability. DVD
players also output the down mixed 2-channel Dolby Surround signal in digital PCM format. When connected
to a digital audio receiver, it can be decoded to Dolby Pro Logic.
Note
• Using the AUDIO SETUP Menu, select SPDIF/RAW. (See page 25)

CAUTION!
• Connect the PCM/BITSTREAM jack of the DVD video player to the OPTICAL or COAXIAL Input of

• Due to the wide dynamic range of sound output of the DVD video player, adjust the volume of
