own Region Code numbers. This unit can play back
only DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code numbers
include "1."
Examples of playable DVD VIDEO discs:
This unit accommodates the NTSC system, also can play
back discs recorded with PAL system whose Region
Code numbers include "1."
Note that the PAL video signal on disc is converted to an
NTSC signal and output.
There are some audio formats recorded on discs as
shown below.
Linear PCM
Uncompressed digital audio, the same format used on
CDs and most studio masters.
DVD AUDIO supports up to six channels at sample
rates of 48/96/192 kHz (also 44.1/88.2/176.4 kHz) and
sample sizes of 16/20/24 bits.

of 48/96 kHz and quantization of 16/20/24 bits.
Audio CD/Video CD is limited to two channels,
44.1 kHz at 16 bits.
Dolby Digital
A surround audio format configured with six
channels. Because the "LFE (Low-Frequency Effect for
sub-woofer, etc.)" channel, one of the six channels, is
an auxiliary channel, this format is called "5.1-channel
system."
Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channel
information.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
A surround audio format configured with six (5.1)
channels, which is the same as Dolby Digital. Because
the compression ratio is lower than Dolby Digital, it
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channel
information.
MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing)
A format for DVD AUDIO with the compression ratio
of about 2:1 while allowing the PCM signal to be
completely recreated by the MLP decoder (required in
all DVD AUDIO players). It supports up to 192kHz/24-
bit.
Non-playable disc types are as follows:
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, CD-ROM,
PHOTO CD, CD-EXTRA, CD-G, CD-TEXT, SACD,
MIX-MODE CD
• Playing back discs listed as "Non-playable discs"
above may generate noise and damage speakers.
• This unit can play back audio signals recorded in CD-G,
CD-EXTRA, CD-TEXT and MIX-MODE CD discs.

Introduction
(For DVD AUDIO)
A DVD AUDIO disc is comprised of "groups," and each
group is comprised of "tracks." Some DVD AUDIO discs
also contain a "bonus group" that can be played back by
entering the "key number" (a kind of password). Usually
the contents of a "bonus group" are not opened to the
public. Note that most DVD AUDIO discs include other
information in addition to audio, such as still pictures,
movies and text.

(For DVD VIDEO)
A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of "titles" and each title
may be divided into some "chapters." For example, if a
DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may
have its own title number, and each movie may be
divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO KARAOKE
disc, each song usually has its own title number and
does not have chapters.

You can display high-quality images four times
clearer than moving pictures.
Menu-driven playback
A selection menu is displayed when you start
playing an SVCD and Video CD disc with the
Playback Control feature. The selection menu
shows a list of numbers for selection. Some discs
may show moving pictures or a divided screen.
You can interact with the screen using a menu
display to select and play an entry.

How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the
disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily
damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped,
the images and sound will not be picked up correctly,
and such a disc may cause the player to malfunction.
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any
adhesive on its surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are
piled on top of one another without their protective
cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a
location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight,
or in aplace where the humidity or temperature is high.
Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc,
wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center
outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened
with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or
any anti-static agents.
CAUTION
Sometimes during play images may be garbled or
noisy. This is sometimes due to the disc.

Connections
*Before using the unit, you have to connect the unit to a TV and/or amplifier.
•Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.
•Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the unit to a TV via a
VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc, You may also have a monitor problem

The unit supports the Progressive scanning system as well as the conventional Interlaced scanning system.
If your television or monitor equipped with component jacks support the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high
quality picture by making the Progressive scanning mode active.
NOTES
•When the scanning mode is set to the Progressive mode, the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is lit. The color of the
indicator differs depending on the "PROGRESSIVE MODE" setting on the "PICTURE" preference display and the status of the
unit (see pages 8 and 63).
•When connecting to a TV using the VIDEO or S-VIDEO jack, make sure that the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is
not lit. If it is lit, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed the correct signals. To turn off the PROGRESSIVE indicator, make
the Progressive scanning mode inactive by following the procedure described on page 8.
•When the component video input jacks on the TV is of the BNC type, use an adapter to convert a pin jack to a BNC jack
(optional).
•Set "ANALOG OUT" in the "AUDIO" preference display to "2-CH STEREO" (see page 65).
•If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo audio
output to monaural.
•To improve audio sound quality, connect the AUDIO OUT jacks to your separate audio equipment (see pages 9, 10).
•If your TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV COMPU LINK function. See "AV COMPU LINK remote control
system" on page 75 for details.
About SCANNING MODE
To display video on the television (monitor) screen, the conventional scanning method is called "Interlaced scanning."
With this method, only half of the horizontal lines are displayed at a time. So two fields complete a single picture
(frame); i.e., the first field, containing all the odd-numbered lines, is displayed followed by the second field, containing
all the even-numbered lines.
On the other hand, the Progressive scanning system scans all horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the number
of pictures compared with the interlaced scanning, resulting in flicker-free, high-density picture.
To enjoy the progressive scanned video, a monitor (or TV or projector) to be connected to the unit must have the
Progressive inputs.
Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO discs can be classified into two types; film source and video
source (note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source). Film sources are recorded as 24-
frame-per-second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-per-second
interlaced) information.
When the unit plays back a film source material, uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using the original
information. When a video source material is played back, the unit interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on
each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Getting started
To make the Progressive scanning mode selection active
The unit supports the Progressive scanning system as well as the conventional Interlaced scanning system. If your television
or monitor supports the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by making the Progressive scanning
mode active.
