Player Zones
Anti-copy Disc Protection
Installation
DVD Discs
For the purpose of distribution of DVD Discs, the world has been separated into 6
zones. The zone your unit is intended for is indicated on the Zone Label. This should
be the same as the label on discs available in your region. If you have any difficulties in
playing a disc, make sure that the disc is for the same zone as your player.
Some DVD discs have anti-copying devices.
With these discs the playback on a Television will give the highest quality picture, however you will not be able to
record this signal on a VCR.
Install your unit on a stable flat surface. There must be sufficient room in front of the unit for the drawer to be
opened and the unit should be positioned so that it can see the remote control.
Do not expose your unit to extremes of temperature or humidity. Avoid standing it on a hot surface such as on
top of other hot running equipment and ensure that there is adequate ventilation to the unit.
* Caution : Do not install this equipment in confined space such as a book case or similar unit!
There are several types of DVD Disc.
Single sided discs. They play for approximately 2 HOURS
Single sided two layer discs. They play for approximately 4 HOURS
Double sided discs. They play for approximately 4 HOURS
Double sided with 2 layers on both sides. They play for approximately 8 HOURS
DVD discs have Titles and Chapters. There can be several Titles on one disc and each Title can contain several
Chapters. Titles and Chapters are numbered, e.g. Title 1, Title 2 etc. & Chapter 1,2,3 etc.
Usually Title one will show the disc publisher and studio
logos. The next Title will be the film. Other Titles
contain trailers for other films, production notes, or
alternative endings for the film. There are many
possibilities with Digital Versatile Disc. Chapters within
the main Title allow you to search quickly for a specific
point on the disc. Many discs have a Chapter Menu
sometimes called Scene Index or Scene Menu that
displays the first shot from each Chapter, which allows
you to select a shot and play the disc from that point
onwards. DVD discs can be PAL or NTSC. This player
can play both types (if the player zone is correct).
DVD discs allow up to 8 Languages and 32 subtitles on a single disc. You can select and change the language
and subtitle to suit yourself and play the whole disc or just part of it and view it from different angles.
Picture freezing & sound skipping or repeating can occur if the disc inside the player is dirty.
• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out.
• Do not wipe in a circular motion. Circular scratches can cause picture distortion or render the disc
unplayable.
CAUTION - Do not use solvents, commercially viable cleaners, or
antistatic spray intended for analogue discs.

section “Playing a DVD disc” and onward.
Placement of speakers play an important role in the reproduction of surround sound. Particular attention
should be taken when designing the speaker layout. For the best surround effects, all speakers should be
installed.
A typical room layout will have the left, centre, and right speakers placed across the front and the left surround
and right surround speakers placed along the sides towards the rear and the back surround speaker placed
right behind the listener as shown in the above left picture. The centre speaker can be positioned above or
below the video screen or TV. A subwoofer can be installed for powerful bass sounds and can be positioned
anywhere in the room.
The ‘speaker to listener dimensions’ shown in the above right picture is used for proper setup of the surround
system ( Please refer to Speaker Setup on P.16 ).
Note:
•Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of +/- speaker terminals.
• Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers supplied.

ii) Make sure your TV is connected with Component Video output from the
DVD unit and is now switched to view such input through which Progressive
Scan signals are transmitted . There will be no video signal from AV output,
in case you have both Component Video and AV connections.
4. A message requesting for confirmation will appear on screen. Select
Yes (confirm) or No (return to previous setting) by

Pro Logic II Mode
The additional flexibility of Pro Logic II allows it to be tailored for specific
applications. Five standard modes are available:
Pro Logic - it offers users the robust surround processing of the original
Pro Logic.
Virtual - it’s usually used when Pro Logic II is connected to a virtual
process for speaker use.
Music - it’s recommended as the standard mode for autosound music
systems (without video), and is optional for A/V systems.
Movie - It can be called simply “Pro Logic II”. It has stereo surround
channels and no surround filter, unlike Pro Logic which has a
mono surround channels and a 7KHz surround filter. Movie
mode is the standard required for all A/V systems.
Matrix - It the same as the Music mode except that the directional
enhancement logic is turned off. It may be used to enhance
mono signals by making them seem “larger”.
Pro Logic II Control
PL II Control lets you to customize the Pro Logic II Music Mode Sound
Effect. The option is available only when the player is in Music Mode.
Dimension
A simple control that alters the ratio of L+R to L-R for the two-
channel input signals. It allows the user to gradually adjust the
soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear. If a
recording is too spacious or strong from the surrounds, it can be
adjusted “forward” to get a better balance. Likewise, if a stereo
recording is somewhat too “mono” or “narrow” sounding, it can be
adjusted toward the rear to get a more enveloping, immersing
result.

feet for surround speakers. Change the distance from 1 to 30 feet
according to your actual listening environment by pressing
and then OK.

Panorama
Extends the front stereo image to include the surround
speakers for an exciting “wraparound” effect with side-wall
imaging.
Centre Width Control
With Pro Logic decoding, dominant centre signals can come
only from the centre speaker. If no centre speaker is present,
the decoder splits the centre signals equally to the left and
right speakers to create a “phantom” centre image. The
Centre Width control allows variable adjustment of the
centre image so it may be heard only from the centre
speaker; only from the left/right speakers as a phantom
image; or from all three front speakers to varying degrees.
It’s recommended to set the control to use the position 3
values for the Music mode. This will also help distinguish the
Music mode from the Movie mode, which automatically
presets the Centre-width control to position 0.
