• When shipping the unit, 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 unit.
Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit
for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.
• The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm after
a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
• When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and
turn off the power.
• If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may not
function properly in the future. Turn on and use the unit
occasionally.

9. To Obtain a Clear Picture
The unit 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.

10. Notes on Moisture Condensation

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME,
READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.

Moisture condensation damages the unit.
Please read the following carefully.

The voltage of the available power supply differs according to
country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the
area where the unit will be used meets the required voltage
(e.g., AC 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz) written on the rear panel.

• What is moisture condensation?
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 the unit, one of
the most crucial internal parts of the unit.

5. Do not touch the unit with wet hands
Do not handle the unit or power cord when your hands are wet
or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take the
unit to an authorized service center for inspection.

6. Location of the unit
• Place the unit in a well-ventilated location.
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of
the unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If
ventilation is blocked, the unit may overheat and malfunction.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or heating units as
the unit’s internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of
the pickup.
• Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by
vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the
unit on or above one of the speakers.
• Be sure the 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 the unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may be
distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV, radio,
or VCR.

• Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.
– When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
– When you use the unit 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 unit in a hot and humid place
just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.
– When you use the unit in a humid place.
• Do not use the unit when moisture condensation may
occur.
If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage discs
and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord
of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, and leave it for
two or three hours. After a few hours, the unit will have
warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit
connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will
seldom occur.

7. 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.

About MOD. (Modulation) PAL
• SHRINK
Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system
detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch
vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical
shrinkage.
• If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be
able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If the TV
has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On
some TVs, 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.

identified by the i mark. The [Expert] menu mode adds to the
[Basic] menu mode additional functions of the player that can
be adjusted to further personalize performance of the player.
In this manual, functions that are contained in the [Expert]
menu mode are identified by the Expert icon.

■ Speaker Setting
You only need to make this setting if you connected this player
to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs.
Follow the on-screen displays to describe which speakers are
in your system and their sizes and positions.
Set the size of your speakers in the Size screen. The front left/
right (L/R) speakers have a fixed setting of [Large]. The center
(C), left surround (LS) and right surround (RS) speakers can
each be set to [Large], [Small] or [Off]. Set a speaker to
[Large] if the main speaker cone is 12 cm or more; set to
[Small] if the it’s less than 12 cm. Note that the LS and RS
speakers cannot be set independently.
The subwoofer (SW) can only be set to [On] or [Off].
The graphic on the right of the screen represents your speaker
setup, with the currently selected speaker’s name highlighted
in blue, and the speakers set to [On] highlighted in yellow.
Set the distance from your main listening position to each
speaker in the [Distance] screen. The distance setting for any
speaker that was set to [Off] in the [Size] screen will be grayed
out. For the other speakers, enter the distance to the nearest
0.1m (10cm). You can set the distance for the L/R speakers
between 0.3m and 9m. Note that you must set the C and SW
speakers within 2m of the L/R setting. The LS and RS
speakers must be set within –6m and +2m of the L/R setting.
The graphic on the right of the screen represents your speaker
setup, with the currently selected speaker’s name highlighted
in blue, and the speakers set to [On] highlighted in yellow.

Notes
• When the subwoofer (SW) is set to on, the LFE (low frequency
effect) signals are input from the subwoofer.
• When listening to a DVD audio source, the C, LS, and RS
speakers will automatically be set to the [Large] size setting.
However, the sound will not be affected by the change. Listening
to another source will return the speakers to their original
settings.
• For DVD-Audio only, if the C, LS, or RS speakers is set to [Off],
the audio is automatically downmixed to stereo unless the DVD
audio software does not permit down mixing.
• The distance setting is unavailable for SACD discs.

■ Gain Settings

Expert

You may want to make this setting if you connected this player
to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs.
Under the default setting, all channels are output at the
relative volumes they were recorded at. Change the setting to
[Variable] if you want to adjust the relative volume levels of
any of the speakers. Adjustment is in the range of –6dB to
+6dB, in steps of 0.5dB.
When set to [Variable], the overall output level may sound
quieter than when set to [Fix]. This is not a malfunction.

To help you gauge the correct gain levels, set the [Test Tone]
to [On] (test tone from just that speaker) or [Auto] (test tone
from each speaker in turn, excluding the subwoofer) then
adjust the gain so that all speakers appear to be the same
volume from your listening position.
Follow the on-screen displays to select speakers and set the
channel levels.
Press the cursor (5) to select [Test Tone], then press the left
cursor button (2) to select the Gain Settings.
• You can adjust the [Test Tone] setting only when the player
is stopped.
• Many AV amplifiers allow you to make similar settings at the
amplifier stage. In this case, set the channel levels at the
player or the amplifier, not both.
• As the test tone plays through a speaker, its name is
highlighted in yellow on-screen.
Note

Settings: Fix (Factory setting)
Variable

You can't use the test tone function when the Audio Out setting is 2
Channel (see page 50). The test tone will not work with the disc tray
open, or while a disc is playing.

Notes
• Gain settings are not effective when playing a CD with CD Digital
Direct set to [On].
• When set to [Variable], the overall output level is set to –6.0dB.
Adjust the relative volume levels of [C (center)], [LS (left
surround)], [RS (right surround)], and [SW (subwoofer)] in the
range of –6.0dB to +6.0dB from the value. The maximum output
level (+6.0dB) which is set to [Variable] is same as the output
level when set to [Fix].
Therefore, when set to [Variable], the output level sounds quieter
than the output level when set to [Fix], in almost all cases.
When Variable is selected, the following screen appears:

Setting the TV Screen Size
The width-to-height ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while the
width-to-height ratio of wide screen and high-definition TVs is
16:9. This width-to-height ratio is called the aspect ratio.
When viewing software recorded in different aspect ratios, the
image’s height to width ratio can be switched to match the TV
or monitor being used.
Make changes to the TV screen size in the [TV Screen] setting
in the Setup screen Video 1 menu. Please note that changes
to the [TV Screen] setting cannot be made when a disc is
playing. Stop playback of the disc before attempting to make
any changes.

• Whether the aspect can be switched or not depends on the disc.
Please refer to the information written on the disc jacket, etc.

available on the disc is automatically selected.
• If your TV doesn’t have settings to change the aspect ratio of the
picture, set this player to [16:9 (Compressed)].

■ Differences in screen sizes and DVD
formats
The number of screen size formats currently available can be
somewhat confusing. If set incorrectly, the video presentation
may not appear as it should. The following diagrams and
descriptions are intended to help you set your TV screen size
in a way that will allow you to fully enjoy the digital video of
DVD.
The settings in the [TV Screen] setting are perhaps most
applicable when the DVD you are watching is programmed in
the wide screen format. If you have a standard TV, select
either [4:3 (Letter Box)] or [4:3 (Pan & Scan)] based on your
personal preference. If you have a wide screen TV, select
[16:9 (Wide)].

setting to [Normal].
• If your TV doesn’t have settings to change the aspect ratio of the
picture, set this player to [16:9 (Compressed)].
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan
signal and choose one of the progressive scan settings, you will
not be able to see any picture at all. With your TV connected

Setting the Parental Lock Level
This player lets you set the Parental Lock if the DVD has a
parental lock level recorded on it. With Parental Lock capable
discs, you can block access to material you feel is
inappropriate for your children. Refer to the DVD disc jacket
and the accompanying documentation to see if a particular
disc contains a parental lock level.
Make changes to the [Parental Lock] setting in the Setup
screen General menu. Please note that changes to the
Parental Lock level cannot be made when a disc is playing.
Stop playback of the disc before attempting to make any
changes.
You cannot select [Level] or [Country Code] until you have
registered a password. Select [Password] to register a new
password. See “Entering the password” on the this page for
how to register a new password.

■ Entering the Password
When you select either [Level] or [Country Code], it is
necessary to register the password (4-digit code number).
You’ll be asked to confirm your existing password before
registering a new one. Use the following steps at any time you
are asked to enter or confirm your password.
1 Use the cursor buttons (5/∞) or the number buttons to
select a number between 0 and 9.
You can also use the number buttons to enter the numbers
directly. When entering your password for the first time, or
changing it, you will be asked to reenter your password. When

Programming the Commands
of Other Remote Control Units into the Remote Controller
Others

This remote controller features a learning function that allows you to program the remote codes of other remote control
units for more singular control of your home entertainment system. A number of commands can be programmed for
operation for when the remote controller is in DVD mode and when it is in Receiver mode. Please follow the procedure in
this section to program your remote controller to your preferences.

Programming procedure
The first step in the procedure is to determine whether the new command is to be learned in the DVD
mode or in the Receiver mode. Generally speaking, this should be decided by the command being
learned. After deciding which mode is to be used, you will then transfer the individual commands from the
other remote control unit to the RC-499DV remote controller one at a time. Each command is then
programmed to one of the available buttons on the RC-499DV remote controller.
Even after the commands have been programmed, keep the other remote control unit in a safe place in the
case that the programmed commands should be lost (e.g., when the batteries run down). If the commands
are lost, it will then be necessary to program them again.

Place the remote controller and the
other remote control unit of the
other component facing each other
at a distance of 5 to 15 cm apart.

While pressing and holding down
the desired Mode button (VCR or
TV) on the remote controller, press
Search and then release both
buttons.
When you press and hold down the
desired Mode button, the Send/Learn
indicator lights up. When you press
Search, the indicator turns off. When you
release both buttons, the indicator lights
up again.

5 to 15 cm

Press and release the button on the
remote controller to which you want
to transfer the new command.
The buttons that can be selected in this
step depend on the mode (other than
Mode (DVD, RCVR, TV, VCR)).

RC-499DV

Send/Learn

If you press the wrong button by mistake,
press the same button again. The Send/
Learn indicator flashes three times and the
remote controller exits the programming
mode. When this is the case, start again at
step 1.

Programming the Commands of Other Remote
Control Units into the Remote Controller

Programming procedure

Press and hold down the button on
the other remote control unit that
corresponds to the command you
want to program until the Send/
Learn indicator flashes twice to
indicate that the command has
been successfully programmed.
After flashing twice, the Send/Learn
indicator lights up again.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program
other commands within the same
mode. Repeat step 2 to 4 to
program commands to the other
mode.

Press the Mode button (VCR or TV)
that you pressed in step 2 to
complete the programming.

Use the remote controller to
perform the newly learned
command to confirm that it was
learned correctly.

Notes
• Some buttons have already been programmed to control
functions of an Integra/Onkyo receiver. Therefore, it is
recommended to program additional functions of the receiver that
are not already programmed in the remote controller.
• If no buttons are pressed for more than 30 seconds during the
programming, or if you perform an invalid operation, the
Send/Learn indicator flashes three times quickly and the remote
controller exits the programming mode. Resume programming
from step 2.
• If you perform an invalid operation during programming, the
Send/Learn indicator flashes three times quickly and the remote
controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 2.
• When you want to program a command to a button to which you
have already programmed a command, simply follow the same
procedure and programming for that button will be overwritten.
• The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands,
as do most other remote control units. Though most remote
control units can be memorized by the remote controller, be
aware that some remote control units use a system that is quite
different from the remote controller and therefore may not be able
to be programmed.
• Some remote control units have a single button that performs
multiple functions (for example, the function may change each
time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function must
be programmed to a separate button on the remote controller.
• Once you have programmed the commands from the other
remote control unit, refer to the instructions supplied with the
other component to operate.
• Make sure that both the remote controller and the other remote
control unit have new batteries. If either of them has batteries
that are low, you may not be able to program the commands of
the other remote control unit properly into the remote controller.
• Removing the batteries from the remote controller for at least 10
minutes erases all of the commands that have been programmed
in the remote controller.
