Before Start

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.

Remote control range:

¶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.

If the joystick remote is used

outside this area, correct operations

will not be possible.

Preparation of Remote Control

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.

"IPB Display" Setting

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.

I-picture (in-frame coding): This is the standard video

and can constitute a picture by itself. As the highest

picture quality can be obtained, the still image of I-

picture is most suitable for use when adjusting the

picture quality.

P-picture (forward prediction coding): Picture cal-

culated based on past pictures (I-picture or P-picture).

B-picture (bidirectional prediction coding): Picture

calculated by comparing the previous and next pic-

tures (I-pictures or P-pictures). This picture type con-

tains least amount of video information.

When IPB Display is set to "On", the I, P or B type of

DVD still picture is displayed on the TV screen to help

identify whether the picture is I-picture, P-picture or B-

picture. This makes it possible to find the I-picture which

Delay time of center speaker

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.)

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.

Chapter 7: Other Information

Glossary

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 process-

ing. DVD AUDIO has been desired to provide even

higher audio quality than DVD VIDEO by using high-

bit, high sampling rate processing.

VIDEO CD (VCD): This is a CD containing moving pic-

ture. 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 spe-

cial playback capabilities (Version 2.0)

MPEG (Moving Picture Expert Group) (DVD, VCD):

A digital video and audio compression and decom-

pression system which is standardized as an interna-

tional 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 sig-

nals of DVD or DTS-CD into 2-channel stereo sig-

nals.

Sampling rate: Sampling refers to converting an ana-

log signal into digital signal by slicing the analog sig-

nal into fine parts at a certain time interval and digi-

tizing every sliced part. The sampling rate is the count

of slicing per second. The original sound can be re-

produced more faithfully when the sampling rate is

higher.

Quantization bit: The quantization bit count refers to

the number used in digitizing the sliced parts ob-

tained 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 ob-

tained by compressing the linear PCM signal featur-

ing 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 compat-

ible with 6-channel surround audio as well as 2-chan-

nel stereo, and capable of recording a large amount

of audio data efficiently in a disc.

DTS : Digital surround system developed by Digital The-

ater Systems, Inc.

Title/Title No. (DVD VIDEO): The title is the largest

unit of video or audio recorded in DVD VIDEO. Usu-

ally, 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 as-

signed to the groups are referred to as group num-

bers.

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 num-

bered and the numbers are referred to as track num-

bers. 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 al-

ways 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, sub-

title 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 re-

cording of multiple subtitle languages. This player

allows the user to select desired one of the recorded

subtitle languages during playback of such a DVD.

Other Information

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 re-

cording of multiple audio languages. This player al-

lows the user to select desired one of the recorded

audio languages during playback of such a DVD.

Aspect ratio: The ratio between the horizontal and ver-

tical 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.

Pan & scan (DVD): Method of displaying a horizon-

tally-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 horizontally-

long 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 pic-

ture 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 repro-

duce moving pictures by displaying still pictures se-

quentially.

Field (DVD, VCD): Part of a frame obtained by divid-

ing the video data of each frame by two. Each frame

of ordinary TV is constituted by displaying the fields

alternately.

Frame still/Field still (DVD, VCD): Types of still pic-

tures obtained by temporarily stopping a moving pic-

ture. The frame still picture may produce blur in the

picture because it displays two specific fields alter-

nately, 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 ac-

companies with picture blur.

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.

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 I-

picture 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): Pic-

ture 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 carry-

ing 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 inter-

active 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.

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 re-

producible audio signal and maximum reproducible

audio signal.
