Connecting to an AV
receiver
To enjoy multichannel surround sound you
need to connect this player to an AV receiver
using a digital output. There are both coaxial
and optical digital jacks; use whichever is
convenient.
In addition to a digital connection, we
recommend also connecting using the
stereo analog connection.
You’ll probably also want to connect a video
output to your AV receiver. You can use any
of the video outputs available on this player
(the illustration shows a standard (compos-
ite) connection).

•Before unplugging the player from the
power outlet, make sure you first switch
it into standby using either the front
panel STANDBY/ON button, or the
remote control, and wait of the -OFF-
message to disappear from the player’s
display.
•For the above reasons, do not plug this
player into a switched power supply
found on some amplifiers and AV
receivers.
Using other types of video
output
This player has standard (composite),
S-Video and component video outputs. The
main difference between them is the quality
of the picture. S-Video delivers a better
picture than standard composite video, while
component video gives better picture quality
still. The variety of outputs also gives you the
flexibility of connecting your particular
equipment using the best connection type
available.
Connecting using an S-Video
output
You can use the S-Video output instead of the
VIDEO OUT jack to connect this player to
your TV (or other equipment).
1 Use an S-Video cable (not supplied)
to connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an

•You usually have to connect the same
kind of video cable between your DVD
player and AV receiver, and between
your AV receiver and TV.
Unfortunately, if your TV has no inputs
you can’t use this player with it.
If all your TV’s inputs are already in use,
you can buy a video input selector from
an electronics store, which effectively
gives you more inputs.
If you don’t mind mono sound, you can
buy a stereo RCA-to-mono RCA cable
from an electronics store. Connect the
stereo end to this player and the mono
end to your TV.
If you want stereo sound, connect this
player to your amplifier or stereo system
using a stereo audio cable.
Make sure that the type of video
connection from the DVD player to your
AV receiver is the same as that from the
receiver to your TV. Most AV receivers
won’t convert from one kind of connec-
tion to another.

may also not be compatible with some
combination TV/VCRs for the same
reason; refer to the manufacturer for
more information.)
1 Connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO

Make sure that the TV is set to the
correct video input (not a TV channel).
For example, if you connected this
player to the VIDEO 1 inputs on your TV,
switch your TV to VIDEO 1.
• This player features a screen saver and
an auto power off function. If the player

five minutes, the screen saver starts. If
the disc tray is closed but no disc is
playing and no control is pressed for 30
minutes, the player automatically goes
into standby.
Let’s Get Started
When you switch on the player for the first
time, you should see a welcome screen
displayed on your TV. From here you can set
up the player to work with the kind of TV you
have, then either use the Setup Navigator to
make more settings, or jump right in and
start playing some discs.
• For customers in Taiwan: The default on-

For ease of use, this player makes extensive
use of graphical on-screen displays (OSDs).
You should get used to the way these work as
you’ll need to use them when setting up the

such as program play, and when making
more advanced settings for audio and video.
All the screens are navigated in basically the
same way, using the cursor buttons to
change the highlighted item and pressing

3 Load a disc.
Load a disc with the label side facing up,
using the disc tray guide to align the disc (if
you’re loading a double-sided DVD disc, load
it with the side you want to play face down).
4 Press (play) to start playback.
If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD/Super
VCD, a menu may appear. See pages 25, 26
for how to navigate these.
If you’re playing an MP3 disc, it may take a
few seconds before playback starts, depend-
ing on the complexity of the file structure on
the disc.
• After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automati-
cally after a few seconds!
Most likely, the disc is the wrong region
for your player. The region number
should be printed on the disc; check it
against the region number of the player
(which you can find on the rear panel).
See also page 9.
If the region number is OK, it may be
that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean
the disc and look for signs of damage.
See also page 47.
• Why won’t the disc I loaded play?
First check that you loaded the disc the
right way up (label side up), and that it’s
clean and not damaged. See page 47
for information on cleaning discs.
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s
probably an incompatible format or disc
type, such as DVD-Audio or DVD-ROM.
See page 8 for more on disc compatibil-
ity.
• I have a widescreen TV so why are there
black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen when I play some discs?
Some movie formats are such that even
when played on a widescreen TV, black
bars are necessary at the top and
bottom of the screen. This is not a
malfunction.
• I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the
player to show widescreen DVDs in pan &
scan format, so why do I still get black
bars top and bottom with some discs?
Some discs override the display
preferences of the player, so even if you
have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those
discs will still be shown in letterbox
format. This is not a malfunction.
• My AV receiver is definitely compatible
with 96kHz Linear PCM audio, but it
doesn’t seem to work with this player.
What’s wrong?
For digital copy-protection purposes,
some 96kHz DVD discs are
automatically downsampled to 48kHz.
This is not a malfunction. With these
kinds of discs, if you want to enjoy high-
quality analog audio, set Digital Out to
Off (page 39), and 96kHz PCM Out to
96kHz (page 40).
