DVD DISCS
There are several types of DVD Disc.
Single sided discs. They play for approximately 2HOURS
Single sided two layer discs. They play for approximately 4HOURS
Double sided discs. They play for approximately 4HOURS
Double sided with 2 layers on both sides. They play for approximately 8HOURS
DVD discs have Titles and Chapters. There can be several Titles on one disc and each Title can contain several
Chapters. Titles and Chapters are numbered, e.g. Title 1, Title 2 etc. & Chapter 1,2,3 etc.
Usually Title one will show the disc publisher and studio logos. The next Title will be the film. Other Titles contain
trailers for other films, production notes, or alternative endings for the
film. There are many possibilities with Digital Versatile Discs. Chapters
within the main Title allow you to search quickly for a specific point on the
disc. Many discs have a Chapter Menu sometimes called Scene Index or
Scene Menu that displays the first shot from each Chapter, which allows
you to select a shot and play the disc from that point onwards. DVD discs
can be PAL or NTSC. This recorder can play both types (if the recorder
zone is correct). DVD discs allow up to 8 Languages and 32 subtitles on a
single disc. You can select and change the language and subtitle to suit
yourself and play the whole disc or just part of it and view it from different
angles.
DVD discs are programmed with region numbers indicating countries in which they can played. The
region number of this unit is 4. If the DVD disc is marked with a different region number, it cannot be
played on this unit.

• Do not wipe in a circular motion. Circular scratches can cause picture distortion
or render the disc unplayable.

CONNECTIONS
The following connections show the different video and audio connections to TV, VCR or CD Recorder.
Important : Make sure that the AC Voltage matches your local voltage.
Connect the AC cord only after the speakers, antenna, and all optional equipment have been connected.
(1) Speaker Connections
Note:
–This DVD Receiver is designed to reproduce optimum sound quality when the supplied speakers are used. If
you wish to connect other speakers to the system instead of the supplied speakers, they should be 6 ohms
impedance for the speakers, and 3 ohms impedance for the subwoofer.
–Ensure correct polarity when connecting speakers (coloured wire for matched colour terminal clip).
–To prevent damage to circuits, never short-circuit the positive and negative speaker output terminals.
Press the speaker terminal clip down and insert the wire, then release the clip.
Connect all speakers in the same manner.
Note:
• Do not remove excessive amount of insulation on the wire cords, to avoid the stripped portion from touching
each other. The optimal length for the stripped part should be around 1/3 inch (or 1cm).
• Do not push the stripped part too far into the speaker connectors.
• Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of speaker terminals.
• Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers supplied.

– If your TV has only a single video input jack, typically a yellow-coloured socket, you will use the composite
video output of your DVD Home Theatre for the video connection.
Use the RCA Video Cable (yellow-provided) to connect the VIDEO OUTPUT jack of this unit to Video In jack
of your TV.
– If your TV has an S-Video input, it is recommended that you use this video connection. The S-Video
connector is distinguishable by its 4 pins. S-Video separates brightness and colour signals, resulting in a
higher video quality than standard composite video.
Use the S-Video Cable (not included) to connect the S-VIDEO OUT jack of DVD receiver to S-Video Input
jack of your TV.
– If your TV has component video-in jacks, you can optionally connect your DVD receiver to the TV using the
component video-in jacks. The advantage here is an optimal picture quality.
Use the component video cables (not included) to connect Y Cb/Pb Cr/Pr jacks at the back of the DVD
receiver to the corresponding component video jacks on the TV .
Notes on Progressive Scan:
1. The Progressive scan video quality is only possible when using Y Pb Pr (Component Video) and a progressive
scan TV is required.
2. Once connected, press V-SELECT to select “P-SCAN YPBPR” to activate the feature.
3. Your TV may need adjustment to accept Progressive Scan video.
(2) Connecting TV
IMPORTANT!
--You only need to make one video connection from the following options, depending on the capabilities of your TV.
--S-Video or Component video connection provides higher picture quality. These options must be available on your
TV.
