Features
High-end DVD player for playback of Audio DVDs and Video DVDs.The machine
makes full use of the latest advances in DVD technology.
Extended K2 Processing Version 2.0
Extended K2 processing takes the music signal before any band limitation is presumed and the digital signal is
expanded for the high bit and high sampling.Version 2.0 strengthens this frequency by as much as four times and is
carried by the front two channels. 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz are expanded and reformed as 24 bit 176.4 kHz and 192 kHz
signals respectively.The means that the playback quality of the digital source is one level closer to the original master.
PEM • DD Converter with 192 kHz/24 bit Support
This model includes our recently developed PEM • DD converter that supports the 192 kHz/24 bit signal that is top
specification for Audio DVD voice format.The front two channels use separate DAC configurations for the left and right
channels.With a dynamic range of 112 dB, it achieves a high frequency distortion factor of less than 0.001 %.
In addition, all channels use the same D/A converter which provides a jitter-free fine clock generator and the use of
dedicated audio R core power transformer and other features deliver excellent sound quality.
Interference-free,Vibration-free, Resonance-free Construction
Each circuit is isolated to exclude mutual interference between the circuits, with each five block structure being
independent. Analog related circuits are completely isolated from the sub-chassis with the digital elements such as
thededicated audio powertransformer.Furthermore,theoccurrence ofunnecessaryoscillation andoutside influences
are excluded by the 3.2 mm steel base plate and the solid aluminum casing. The airtightness of the unit has been
dramatically improved with the use of an airtight disc tray to shut out external vibration and option of completely
turning off the video circuitry to achieve the maximum sound quality possible.

Usage Precautions
Installing the player
Install the player in a location where the temperature is between 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F).If the player is exposed
toa highertemperature,itmaycauseit tomalfunction, orcause damage.In particular,avoid installingit inthe following
locations.
• Locations where it is exposed to direct sunlight
• Locations that become hot, such as on top of a receiver
IfTV or radio reception deteriorates...
• Keep distance between the TV or radio and this player. If this player is installed near equipment that receives
electromagnetic waves, it may effect reception.
Moving the Player
• Ifyoumove the player from a cold locationto a warmlocation, do not usethe playerimmediately after movingit.This
is because condensation can form inside the player. If you allow the player to stand with the power on for a few
hours, you can then use it normally.
• Always remove discs from the player before moving it. If you move the player while a disc is inside, the disc can
become lodged inside the player and will be difficult to remove, and can also cause damage.
Do not insert warped or irregular shaped discs
• Do not insert cracked or warped discs into the player, or discs that have been repaired with adhesive, or heart-
shaped discs, octagonal discs, or other irregular shaped discs.These can cause damage.
Cleaning the exterior of the player
• To clean the cover and other exterior parts of the player, wipe them with soft, dry cloth.For persistent stains or dirt,
wipe them with a cloth moistened with a mild detergent. Never use thinner, benzine, or other inflammable agents.
This can cause cloudiness or discoloring of the exterior.

Connections
●The sound quality can be subtly effected depending on the material and con-
struction of the connection cables and cords.Connection cables or cords are not
supplied with this player.These must be purchased separately.We recommend
that you compare several types and choose cables/cords best suited to your
needs.
In order to use this model, it must be connected to aTV or monitor.
* Toavoidrepetitionofthevariousprocedures,thefollowingdescriptionsexplaintheproceduresassumingaconnection
to a TV.However, you can also connect the player to a monitor or projector instead of a TV.
Precautions to Observe When Setting Up the Connections
• Before connecting any cables, make sure that power to player itself and the other devices is switched off.
• Depending on the device used, the labels for the terminals may differ.Refer to the manual provided with your device
when making connections.
• Make sure you insert all plugs firmly.A loose connection can cause noise or the loss of sound.
• Connect the video output from the player directly to a TV (or monitor). If the video output is connected via a video
player, the picture quality during playback will deteriorate.

See pages 9 and 10 for details for the video signal
connection to a TV.
Connecting to a Device with a Digital InputTerminal
By connecting the digital output from this player to the digital input terminal of a receiver etc., you can send the digital
audio signal from discs to external devices without changing the signal. Also, by connecting to Dolby Digital or DTS
decoders (or amplifiers with built-in decoders), you can enjoy high-quality surround audio.
After you have setup the connection...
●Digital OUT Settings
Set [DIGITAL] OUT in Initial Settings 2 of the Initial Settings screen to match the connection to the external device.
See page 28.
Note:
●When connecting to devices with Dolby Digital or DTS decoder functions
The [COMPRESSION] and [DOWNMIX] settings in Initial Settings 2 of the Initial Settings screen will not be applied
to the digital output from the player. Make any adjustments for these settings with the external decoder.
●DVD Audio digital output
When recording the DVD Audio multi-channel digital output, the digital output is downmixed to two channels.
What is DTS (DigitalTheater System)?
DTS is a new surround format that has better data compression to Dolby Digital that delivers superior quality surround
playback of audio. It uses the same 5.1 channel that Dolby Digital uses, but due to lower audio compression during
recording it produces audio with more depth and high S/N playback. It's wide dynamic range allows it to produce
magnificent sound with excellent audio separation.
