Features
525 line digital progressive-scan
component video output
Compared to standard interlaced video,
progressive scan effectively doubles the
amount of video information fed to your TV or
monitor. The result is a stable, flicker-free
image. (Check your TV/monitor for compat-
ibility with this feature.
For the very highest picture quality, try
watching a movie on DVD-Video on a progres-
sive-scan compatible TV.
What is Super VCD? (DV-S733A
only)
Logos:
This player supports the IEC’s Super VCD
standard. Compared to the Video CD
standard, Super VCD offers superior
picture quality, and allows two stereo
soundtracks to be recorded. Super VCD
also supports the widescreen size.

TruSurround
*3
Logo:
When used with stereo sources, TruSurround
creates a realistic surround-sound effect using
just two speakers (see page 42 .
MP3 compatibility
This player is compatible with CD-R, CD-RW
and CD-ROM discs that contain MP3 audio
tracks (see pages 9, 35 .
Video Adjust
This new type of DNR (Digital Noise
Reduction for encoding video enables
you to adjust the video settings on a more
detailed and exact level. There are three
possible settings to choose from. These
include: TV (CRT , PDP, and Professional.
This technology can remember which
setting you've chosen and employ it at the
proper time.
(see page 49 .
Legato PRO (Legato Link
Conversion PRO)
The Legato PRO digital filter restores some of
the high-frequency information lost in the CD
and DVD recording and mastering process by
upsampling from 44.1kHz to 176.4kHz for CD
and from 48kHz to 192kHz for DVD.
Legato PRO has four settings, including
Standard and three effect settings. You can
also switch it off. (see page 45 .
Hi-Bit
Hi-Bit extends the dynamic range of the main
front speakers by effectively increasing the bit
depth from 16-20 bit to 24 bit. This allows
the player to reveal greater detail in low level
audio (see page 45 .
High quality 24-bit/192kHz DAC
The high specification 24-bit/192kHz DAC
delivers dynamic, smooth and expansive
analog sound from CDs and DVDs.
raphical Setup Navigator

graphical Setup Navigator. Answer the
questions that appear on-screen and the
Setup Navigator makes the necessary audio,

connect up digital
coaxial-type jacks.
Make sure that the
plug is pushed fully
home.
Note
If you listen to multichannel DVD-Audio
through one of the digital outputs, it will be

Setting the TV System
(except for Taiwanese model)
The default setting of this player is AUTO,
and unless you notice that the picture is
distorted when playing some discs, you
should leave it set to AUTO.
If you experience picture distortion with
some discs, set the TV system to match
your country or region’s system. Doing
this, however, may restrict the kinds of
disc you can watch. The table below shows
what kinds of disc are compatible with
each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC .
About MOD. (Modulation) PAL
• SHRINK
Most models of the newly developed countdown
PAL T system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz
(NTSC) and automatically switch vertical
amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical
shrinkage.
• If your PAL T does not have a -Hold control,
you may not be able to view NTSC disc because
the picture may roll. If the T has a -Hold
control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling.
On some T s, the picture may shrink vertically,
leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the
screen. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by
the NTSC]PAL conversion.
Note
This front panel is for the DV-S733A. The
buttons are the same for the DV-47A.
1 Switch the player into standby.
2 Hold down ¡¢ then press STANDBY/
ON to switch the TV system.
The TV system changes as follows:
AUTO ]NTSC
NTSC ]PAL
PAL ]AUTO
The display indicates the new setting.
Note that you have to switch the player into
standby before each change.
