vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit
on or above one of the speakers.
• Be sure this unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place it
on its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction.
• When you place this DVD Changer near aTV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted.
In this case, place the DVD Changer away from theTV, radio, or
VCR.
Precautions
8.Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and
the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth
in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry,
and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean
cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical
solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove
the panel lettering.
9.Notes on Handling
• When shipping the DVD Changer, use the original shipping carton
and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit
as it was originally packed at the factory.
• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the DVD
Changer. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with
the DVD Changer for a long time. They will leave marks on the
finish.
• The top and rear panels of the DVD Changer may become warm
after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
• When the DVD Changer is not in use, be sure to remove the disc
and turn off the power.
• If you do not use the DVD Changer for a long period, the unit
may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD
Changer occasionally.
10.To Obtain a Clear Picture
The DVD Changer is a high technology, precision device. If the
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down,
the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we
recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts
replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating
environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.
11.Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD Changer.
Please read the following carefully.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold
drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the
outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on
the optical pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial
internal parts of the DVD Changer.
• Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.
- When you bring the DVD Changer directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
- When you use the DVD Changer in a room where you just turned
on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air
conditioner directly hits the unit.
- In summer, when you use the DVD Changer in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.
- When you use the DVD Changer in a humid place.
• Do not use the DVD Changer when moisture condensation may
occur.
If you use the DVD Changer in such a situation, it may damage
discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord
of the DVD Changer to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD Changer,
and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the DVD
Changer will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep
the DVD Changer connected to the wall outlet and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.

Connecting the DV-C601 to aTV
Here is how to connect your DVD Changer to your TV set. In this case, both the video and audio signals will be played back by your TV set.
Connecting the DV-C601 to a TV
1. Switch off the DVD Changer and theTV set.
2. Connect the DV-C601 to yourTV set as shown in the illustration.
■Selecting the audio outputs
Your DV-C601 provides several options for audio playback: you can use the analog or one of the digital audio outputs. If the audio is to be
played back by your TV set, connect the ANALOG OUTPUTs to the audio inputs of your TV set and activate them (“Analog 2ch”). See
“Audio Settings” on page 36 for details.
Notes:
• See also the instruction manual of the connected TV on how to select the signals transmitted by the DVD Changer.
• Before connecting the DVD Changer to your TV, be sure to turn off the power to and unplug both units from the wall outlet.
• If your TV set has one audio input (monaural), connect a Ycable adapter to the DV-C601’s ANALOG OUTPUTs, and the other end of the
adapter to the TV’s audio input.
• Be sure to establish a direct video connection between the DV-C601 and your TV set. Do not route the video signal through your VCR or
other video component. Otherwise the picture may be distorted due to the DVD video’s copy protection.

Connecting to an Audio System andTV with
COMPONENTVIDEO Inputs
■It is also possible to “split” the audio and video signals by sending the video signal to your TV set and the audio
signal to an amplifier. Doing so has the advantage that you can:
• Listen to the sound of audio CDs and DVD videos in stereo (via the amplifier) or in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic Surround or DTS
(see pages 12, 13);
• Enjoy a better picture quality of DVD videos on a TV equipped with Component Video inputs than would be possible via an S-video
connection.
Notes
• See also the manuals of your audio amplifier and TV set for establishing the correct connections and making the required settings.
• Before connecting the DVD Changer to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all components from the wall outlet.
• This DVD Changer outputs a very dynamic audio signal. Be sure to set the amplifier’s volume to a moderate listening level to avoid
damaging your speakers due to sudden volume surges.
• Switch off the amplifier or select another input source before connecting or disconnecting the DVD Changer’s power cable. If you leave
the amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.
Your DV-C601 provides several options for audio playback: you can use the analog or one of the digital audio outputs. If your amplifier only
provides analog inputs, use the DV-C601’sANALOG OUTPUTs and select them via the on-screen menu (“Analog 2ch”). See “Audio
Settings” on page 36 for details.
■COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (COLOR DIFFERENCE):
Some TVs or monitors are equipped with Color Difference inputs. Connecting the DV-C601 to these inputs allows you to enjoy a better
picture quality. Be sure to match the DV-C601’s VIDEO OUTPUTs with the Component Video inputs of your TV or monitor (see the
illustration).
Actual labels for the Color Difference inputs may vary depending on the TV manufacturer (e.g.Y, B-Y, R-Y, etc.).
On some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the picture may be reduced slightly, or the tint may change. In such cases, adjust the TV or
monitor for optimum performance.
Note:
• If you place the DVD Changer near a tuner or radio, the radio reception might be distorted due to interference. In this case, locate the DV-
C601 away from the tuner or radio.

Other Audio Playback Options
■You can enjoy high-quality surround audio playback by connecting the DV-C601 to an amplifier equipped with a
Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic Surround, or DTS decoder. Furthermore you can transfer the signal of audio CDs to
your amplifier in the digital domain if it is fitted with a digital input.
See pages 10 and 11 for the video hookup of the DV-C601 to your TV set.
When using an optical digital cable, remove the cap from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL connector and firmly fit the
cable’s jack into the connector. When not using this connector, keep it capped to protect it from dust intrusion.
Notes:
Connecting to an Amplifier Equipped with Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Your DV-C601 also supports Dolby Pro Logic Surround. This effect can
be obtained in one of two ways: via a digital or an analog connection
with an amplifier that supports Dolby Pro Logic Surround (see below).
Dolby Pro Logic Surround
Playback of Dolby Pro Logic Surround-encoded DVD videos requires that
you connect the DV-C601 to an amplifier with right and left front speakers, a
center speaker, and one or two surround speakers.
Feel free to use one or two surround speakers. Be aware, though, that the output sound
of the rear channel will be monaural even if you connect two surround speakers.
• If your amplifier is fitted with a digital input:
See the connection for Dolby Digital playback above and make the
suggested settings. See also the amplifier’s manual for how to select its
Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode.
• If your amplifier has no digital input:
Connect the DV-C601’s ANALOG OUTPUTs as shown in the illustra-
tion to the left, and make the following setting:
Setting Select: Page
Audio Out Select Analog 2ch 36
• Select the Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode on your amplifier.
Note:
•Do not forget to select the DVD Changer’s AUDIO OUTPUTs (“Analog
2ch”). See “Audio Settings” on page 36 for details.
Connecting to an Amplifier Equipped with a Dolby Digital Decoder
Playback of Dolby Digital-encoded discs requires that you establish a
digital connection with the amplifier. The selection of the DV-C601’s
DIGITAL OUTPUT depends on the type of digital input provided on
your amplifier. Use either the DIGITAL OUTPUT COAXIAL or
OPTICAL connector. See the amplifier’s manual for details.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a surround sound technology used in movie theaters that is now
also available on equipment for a home environment. You can play back motion
picture and live-concert DVD videos of this sound format by connecting the
DVD Changer to a 6-channel amplifier equipped with a Dolby Digital decoder
or Dolby Digital processor. If your amplifier (or separate decoder) supports
Dolby Pro Logic Surround, you can even play back Dolby Pro Logic-encoded
DVD movies with full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as titles
with the Dolby Surround mark.
• This functionality is only available when using DVD videos with Dolby
Digital encoding.
• Make the following settings:
Setting Select: Page
Audio Out Select Bitstream 36
Recording system 29
• Select the Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic Surround mode on your
amplifier.
• Before connecting the DVD Changer to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all components from the wall outlet.
• This DVD Changer outputs a very dynamic audio signal. Be sure to set the amplifier’s volume to a moderate listening level
to avoid damaging your speakers due to sudden volume surges.
• Switch off the amplifier or select another input source before connecting or disconnecting the DVD Changer’s power cable.
If you leave the amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.

Warnings
• If you connect to the digital input of an amplifier that does not have a Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder, set the DV-C601’s
“Audio Out Select” function to “PCM.” Any other setting may damage your ears or speakers when using high volume levels.
• During playback of DTS-encoded audio CDs, excessive noise may be output from the ANALOG OUTPUTs. To avoid possible
damage to your audio system, we recommend you either break the connection between the DVD Changer’sANALOG OUTPUTs
and the amplifier, or to only start playback of your DV-C601 after selecting the appropriate digital input source on your amplifier.
• DTS Digital Surround™ playback is only available if you connect an external 5.1-channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder to a
DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the DVD Changer.
Connecting to an Amplifier Equipped with a DTS Decoder
Playback of DTS-encoded discs requires that you establish a digital connection with the amplifier. The selection of the DV-C601’s DIGITAL
OUTPUT depends on the type of digital input provided on your amplifier. Use either the DIGITAL OUTPUT COAXIAL or OPTICAL
connector. See the amplifier’s manual for details.
Digital Theater System (DTS)
DTS is a high-quality surround technology used in movie theaters that is
also available for home use on DVD videos or audio CDs. If you have a
DTS decoder or processor, you can obtain the full benefit or 5.1-channel
DTS encoded sound tracks.
• DTS functionality is only available when using DVD videos or audio
CDs with DTS encoding.
• Make the following settings:
Setting Select: Page
Audio Out Select Bitstream 36
Recording system DTS 29
• Select the DTS mode on your amplifier.
Digital StereoAudio Playback
The DV-C601 also allows you to output a stereo audio signal in the digital
domain. The selection of the DV-C601’s DIGITAL OUTPUT depends on
the type of digital input provided on your amplifier. Use either the DIGITAL
OUTPUT COAXIAL or OPTICALconnector. See the amplifier’s manual
for details.
PCM
If your amplifier provides a digital audio input, you can establish a digital
connection between the DV-C601 and the amplifier. Choose this type of
connection if your amplifier is equipped with a better D/A converter than
your DV-C601, or if you also own a dedicated D/A converter.
• Make the following setting:
Setting Select: Page
Audio Out Select PCM 36
Notes:
• NEVER connect a DIGITAL OUTPUT jack of the DVD Changer to the
AC-3 RF input of a Dolby Digital Receiver.AC-3 RF inputs use a
different encoding format that is not supported by the DV-C601’s
DIGITAL OUTPUTs.
• The amplifier’s coaxial digital input may be labelled “DIGITAL” rather
than “COAXIAL”. See its manual for details.

To obtain a higher picture quality
Occasionally, some picture distortion not usually visible during a normal
telecast may appear on the TV screen during playback of a DVD video. This
is due to the fact that DVD videos provide a higher resolution and therefore
also more data to process. While the amount of noise depends on the TV you
connect the DVD Changer to, reducing the sharpness setting on your TV
when viewing DVD videos may alleviate the problem.
