Introduction
About discs
Playable disc types are as follows:
The DVD Logo is a trademark.
•CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with the SVCD, Video
CD, Audio CD, MP3 or JPEG format can be played back,
though some may not be played back because of the
disc characteristics or recording conditions.
Note that unfinalized discs cannot be played back.
•DVD-R discs recorded with the DVD VIDEO format can
be played back, though some may not be played back
because of the disc characteristics or recording
conditions.
Note that unfinalized disc cannot be played back.
•DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their
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.
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.
There are some audio formats recorded on discs as
shown below.
•LinearPCM
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.
DVD VIDEO supports two channels at sampling rates
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.
The associated indicator lights up in the display window
when playing back a disc.
* When playing back a DVD AUDIO disc recorded by
MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing; a lossless audio
compression system that can completely recreate the
PCM signal), no indicator lights up in the display
window.
Note that, with some formats and/or depending on the
unit’s “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT”setting, digital audio
signals are not always output from the unit’s DIGITAL
OUT jacks as are recorded on the disc.
See “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT”on page 64 for details.

Introduction
English
(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.
(For SVCD/Video CD/Audio CD)
An SVCD, Video CD or Audio CD is simply comprised of
“tracks.”
What is Playback Control (PBC) function?
The Playback Control function, allows you to enjoy
menu-driven operation and high-resolution still images
which have a resolution four times greater than moving
pictures.
•High-resolution still image display
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.
See example illustration below about basic feature
of menu-driven playback (for details about PBC, see
also page 30).
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 a place 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.

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.

In the following description, we assume that the buttons on the remote control unit are mainly used, however, you may
use the corresponding buttons on the front panel if available.
Before operation
Press DVD STANDBY/ON on the remote control unit or press STANDBY/ON on the front panel.
When the unit turns on, the STANDBY/ON indicator on the front panel, which illuminates in red during standby, lights in
green and each DISC indicator (1 to 7) shows the current status of whether a disc is set or not in the corresponding disc
tray.
•The first time you turn on the unit after connecting the power cord, the DISC 1 to 7 indicators are illuminated until the unit detects
that no disc is set in the corresponding disc tray. Once detecting the status, the unit memorizes it unless you unplug the power
cord, so the DISC 1 to 7 indicators show the status of corresponding disc trays correctly.
•You can turn on the unit by pressing the 3button. In this case, the behavior of the unit after pressing the 3button is the same as
pressing this button while the power is on.
•When any disc is on the disc tray, you can turn on the unit using the DISC 1 to 7 buttons corresponding to the loaded disc number.
The behavior of the unit after pressing these buttons is the same as pressing them while the power is on.
•You can turn on the unit by pressing the 0OPEN/CLOSE button on the front panel. In this case, the disc tray carousel opens.
The opening display shown right appears on the TV screen.
The following message may appear at the bottom of the opening display
depending on the condition.
•NOW READING:The unit is reading the disc information.
•REGION CODE ERROR!:
The region code of the DVD VIDEO disc does not
match the unit. The disc cannot be played back.
•OPEN: The disc tray carousel is opening.
•CLOSE: The disc tray carousel is closing.
•NO DISC: No disc is loaded.
•RESUME STOP:
The resume mode is set to “DISC RESUME.”
