About discs
Playable and non-playable disc types are as follows:

The DVD VIDEO Logo is a trademark.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with the Audio CD or MP3 format can be played back.
• Some disc may not be played back because of the disc characteristics or recording condition.
• DVD VIDEO players and DVD discs have their own Region Code numbers. This unit only can play back DVD VIDEO
discs whose Region Code numbers include "1"
Examples of playable DVD VIDEO discs:
This unit accommodates both the NTSC and PAL system and can playback discs recorded with either system.
Non-playable discs
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD AUDIO, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, PHOTO CD, CD-EXTRA, CD-G, CD-TEXT
• Playing back discs listed as "Non-playable discs" above may generate noise and damage speakers.
• This unit can play back audio recorded in CD-G, CD-EXTRA and CD-TEXT discs.
A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of "titles" while an Audio CD, Video CD is comprised of "tracks" 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. In general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the same
title has continuity.

• Since different components often have different terminal names, carefully read the instructions supplied with the
component you are going to connect.
You can enjoy playback by simply connecting the unit to a TV. To improve audio sound quality, connect the AUDIO OUT
jacks to your separate audio equipment. (See the following pages.)

• 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.
• If your TV has an S-video input, you can get better picture quality by connecting it with the S-VIDEO output of the unit
using the S-video cable (optional) in addition to the (standard) video connection.
NOTES
•When connectingto a TV usingthe VIDEO OUT jack, make surethat the PROGRESSIVEindicatoron the front panel isnot lit. If
it is lit, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do notfeed the correctsignals.Toturn off the PROGRESSIVEindicator,see "How to

About SCAN MODE
To display video on the monitor (television) screen, the conventional scanning method is called "Interlaced scan':
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, isdisplayed followed by the second field, containing
all the even-numbered lines.
On the other hand, the Progressive scan system scans all horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the number of
pictures compared with the interlaced scan, resulting 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 pseudo uninterlaced picture and outputs as the progressive signal.
You can enjoy high-quality audio by connecting the unit's audio output to your amplifier or receiver.

Getting started
You can enhance the sound quality by connecting either of the unit's DIGITAL OUT jacks to the digital input of an
amplifier, MD, etc. by using an optional digital cable (OPTICAL or COAXIAL). The digital audio signal from a disc is
directly transferred. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder by
using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.
When you make the digital connection, we recommend also to make the analog connection, because, depending on
discs, no signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT.
