Remote control range:

Do not insert the power cord plugs of the player and the
connected components until all of the components have
been connected.
Be sure to insert all connection cables securely. If a cable
is plugged incompletely, lack of video, lack of audio or
noise may result.
Before connecting or disconnecting a connection cord,
be sure to unplug the power plug from the wall power
outlet. If a connection cable is connected or disconnected
while the power plug is left connected, malfunction or
equipment damage may result.
When a DVD AUDIO disc is played, the player can output
audio signals at very high frequencies. As this may
sometimes lead to speaker damage due to a high-volume
sound, do not set "Audio Filter" to "Filter 110 kHz" when
the speakers in use are not suitable for high-frequency
reproduction.
Œ
Also, be sure to check the actual sound level when
increasing or decreasing the volume control setting.

If the joystick remote is used
outside this area, correct operations
will not be possible.

¶ When the controllable distance of the joystick remote
reduces, replace both batteries with new ones.
¶ Do not install the player in a place where the remote
control sensor is subjected to direct sunlight or the
light of a fluorescent lamp base on high-frequency
lighting (inverter system, etc.). Otherwise, the control
range of the joystick remote will be reduced.

DTS disclaimer clause
DTS Digital Surround™ is a discrete 5.1 channel digital
audio format available on CD, LD, and DVD software
which consequently cannot be decoded and played
back inside most CD, LD, or DVD players. For this
reason, when DTS-encoded software is played back
through the analog outputs of the CD, LD, or DVD
player, excessive noise will be exhibited. To avoid
possible damage to the audio system, proper
precautions should be taken by the consumer if the
analog outputs are connected directly to an
amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital Surround™
playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital
Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the
digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the
CD, LD or DVD player.
This unit is equipped with DTS Digital Surround™
decoder.

Video connection: Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT jack
of the player to the video input jack of the AV amplifier using the provided video cable.
S Video connection: When the connected TV has an S
Video connector, connect the S VIDEO OUTPUT
connector of the player to it using the provided S
Video cable.

Delay Time Setting

Speaker Setting (Custom)

When playing a DVD recorded with Dolby Digital audio, the distances from the listening position to the
center and surround speakers should ideally be identical to those of all other speakers except for the subwoofer.
The delay time setting makes it possible to compensate for the difference in distances of actual speakers by
delaying the audio output from the center speaker and surround speakers so that the sounds from all speakers
reach the listening position at the same timing. (The delay time adjustment is available only with Dolby
Digital.)

Various Setups

Before starting the speaker setting, see the following figure and measure distance A of the center speaker (A =
Df - Dc) and distance B for the surround speakers (B = Df - Ds). The standard delay time settings can be
identified based on these values and the following tables.

Glossary

Other Information

DVD (Digital Versatile Disc): DVD VIDEO is a disc
featuring high video/audio quality, made possible by
large recording capacity of video and audio signals
of movie software, etc. and by digital signal processing. DVD AUDIO has been desired to provide even
higher audio quality than DVD VIDEO by using highbit, high sampling rate processing.
VIDEO CD (VCD): This is a CD containing moving picture. By compressing video data to about 1/120 and
audio data to about 1/6, a 12 cm disc with the same
size as ordinary music CD can store moving pictures
and audio for up to about 74 minutes.
The VCD includes the P.B.C.-incompatible discs with
only the playback capability (Version 1.1) and P.B.C.compatible discs with the menu playback and special playback capabilities (Version 2.0)
MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) (DVD, VCD):
A digital video and audio compression and decompression system which is standardized as an international standard.
Decoder: A device for restoring standard audio signal
from audio data recorded based on coding into DVD
data, etc. This processing is referred to as decoding.
Downmixing: Conversion of multichannel audio signals of DVD or DTS-CD into 2-channel stereo signals.
Sampling rate: Sampling refers to converting an analog signal into digital signal by slicing the analog signal into fine parts at a certain time interval and digitizing every sliced part. The sampling rate is the count
of slicing per second. The original sound can be reproduced more faithfully when the sampling rate is
higher.

Quantization bit: The quantization bit count refers to
the number used in digitizing the sliced parts obtained by slicing the analog signal as described above.
The quantization bit count is the number of bits used
in digitization per second. The original sound can be
reproduced more faithfully when the quantization
bit count is larger.
Linear PCM (Pulse Code Modulation): Audio signal
format without using compression. In the DVD which
has a very large disc capacity, the linear PCM signal
using high sampling rate can be recorded.
Packed PCM : The packed PCM(P.PCM) signal is obtained by compressing the linear PCM signal featuring large data amount and high sampling rate. With
this compression, the signal before compression can
be restored perfectly.
Bitstream (DVD): This is the generic name given for
the flow of data based on a standard such as Dolby
Digital, DTS, MPEG, etc.
Dolby Digital: A digital audio compression technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. It is compatible with 6-channel surround audio as well as 2-channel stereo, and capable of recording a large amount
of audio data efficiently in a disc.
DTS : Digital surround system developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
Title/Title No. (DVD VIDEO): The title is the largest
unit of video or audio recorded in DVD VIDEO. Usually, a title corresponding to a movie product with
video software or an album (or a piece of music) with
music software. The numbers assigned to the titles
are referred to as title numbers.

Chapter/Chapter No. (DVD VIDEO): The chapter is a
partition of video or audio that is smaller than the
title. A title is composed of multiple chapters. The
numbers assigned to the chapters are referred to as
chapter numbers.
Group/Group No. (DVD AUDIO): The group is the
largest unit of the contents in DVD AUDIO. Usually,
a group corresponds to an album. The numbers assigned to the groups are referred to as group numbers.
Track/Track No. (DVD AUDIO, VCD, CD): The track
is a partition of audio (such as a piece of music or
music chapter) in a disc. These partitions are numbered and the numbers are referred to as track numbers. While a track usually corresponds to a piece of
music with DVD AUDIO or ordinary music CD, the
partitions of contents and track numbers are not always corresponding with VCD. As a result, while all
of the playback operations including track skipping
and programming of ordinary music CD are based
on the track number information, such operations
may sometimes be unavailable with VCD.
AVTT (Audio Video Title): Part of DVD AUDIO that
contains moving pictures. The audio language, subtitle language and viewing angles in this part can be
switched by the user.
AOTT (Audio Only Title): Part of DVD AUDIO that
contains audio and still pictures. The audio language
and still pictures in this part can be switched by the
user.
Subtitle language (DVD): Some DVDs contain the recording of multiple subtitle languages. This player
allows the user to select desired one of the recorded
subtitle languages during playback of such a DVD.

Chapter 7: Other Information
Angle (DVD): Some DVDs contain the recording of
multiple viewing angles. This player allows the user
to select desired one of the recorded angles during
playback of such a DVD.
Audio language (DVD): Some DVDs contain the recording of multiple audio languages. This player allows the user to select desired one of the recorded
audio languages during playback of such a DVD.

Pan & scan (DVD): Method of displaying a horizontally-long picture recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio on a
4:3 TV screen by trimming part of picture.
In general, the trimming positions for pan & scan are
determined uniformly by the reproducing device.
However, the pan & scan of DVD allows the software
producer to specify the trimming positions to be used
in playback.
Letterbox (DVD): Method of displaying a horizontallylong picture recorded in 16:9 aspect ratio on a 4:3 TV
screen by attaching bands at the top and bottom of
the screen and displaying the horizontally-long picture at the center of screen.
Frame (DVD, VCD): Each frame of a moving picture,
that is displayed 30 times a second with NTSC and
25 times a second with PAL. These TV formats reproduce moving pictures by displaying still pictures sequentially.
Field (DVD, VCD): Part of a frame obtained by dividing the video data of each frame by two. Each frame
of ordinary TV is constituted by displaying the fields
alternately.

Downconversion: Conversion of PCM signal with high
sampling rate such as 96 kHz and 192 kHz into a
signal with a sampling rate of 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz.
Dynamic range: Difference between the minimum reproducible audio signal and maximum reproducible
audio signal.

IPB display (DVD): With the MPEG2 which is one of
the video display methods of DVD, each picture is
divided into the following three picture types before
being coded in digital signal.

Other Information

Aspect ratio: The ratio between the horizontal and vertical sizes of picture displayed on a TV screen. The
aspect ratio of ordinary TV is 4:3, and that of
widescreen TV is 16:9.

Frame still/Field still (DVD, VCD): Types of still pictures obtained by temporarily stopping a moving picture. The frame still picture may produce blur in the
picture because it displays two specific fields alternately, but the picture quality is higher. The field still
picture has lower picture quality because it uses half
the picture information of frame still, but is not accompanies with picture blur.

I-picture (Intra coded): This is the standard video
and can constitute a picture by itself. As the highest
picture quality can be obtained, the still image of Ipicture is most suitable for use when adjusting the
picture quality.
P-picture (Predictive coded): Picture calculated
based on past pictures (I-picture or P-picture).
B-picture (Bidirectionally predictive coded): Picture calculated by comparing the previous and next
pictures (I-pictures or P-pictures). This picture type
contains least amount of video information.
P.B.C. (PlayBack Control) (VCD): VIDEO CDs carrying messages such as "Playback Control Capable" can
be played interactively by selecting the desired play
position or information in hierarchical structures
while watching the menus displayed on the TV screen.
OSD (On-Screen Display): OSD is a method of interactive operations using the menus and icons displayed
on the TV screen.
On-Screen Message: Message displayed on the TV screen
when an operation is performed.
