1. Region Numbers
The DVD standard uses region numbers to control how
discs can be played around the world, the world being
divided into six regions. This unit will only play DVD
discs that match its region number, which can be found
on its rear panel (e.g., 1 ).

2. About this Manual
This manual explains how to use all of this unit’s functions. Although the DVD standard offers many special
features, not all discs use them all, so depending on the
disc being played, this unit may not respond to certain
functions. See the disc’s sleeve notes for supported features.
When you attempt to use a DVD feature that is
not available, this logo may appear onscreen,
indicating that the feature is not supported by
the current disc or this unit.

3. Recording Copyright
Unless it’s for personal use only, recording copyrighted
material is illegal without the permission of the copyright holder.

4. Power

WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION
CAREFULLY.
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make
sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage
requirements printed on this unit’s rear panel (e.g., AC
120 V, 60 Hz).

Precautions—Continued
5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands

9. To Obtain a Clear Picture

Never handle this unit or its power cord while your
hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets
inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.

This unit is a high-tech, precision device. If the lens on
the optical pickup, or the disc drive mechanism
becomes dirty or worn, the picture quality may be
affected. To maintain the best picture quality, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or
worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use
depending on the operating environment. Contact your
Onkyo dealer for details.

6. Installing this Unit
• Install this unit in a well-ventilated location.
Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation all around
this unit, especially if it’s installed in an audio rack. If
the ventilation is inadequate, the unit may overheat,
leading to malfunction.
• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat
sources, because its internal temperature may rise,
shortening the life of the optical pickup.
• Avoid damp and dusty places, and places subject to
vibrations from loudspeakers. Never put the unit on
top of, or directly above a loudspeaker.
• Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its side or
on a sloping surface, because it may cause a malfunction.
• If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
picture and sound quality may be affected. If this
occurs, move this unit away from the TV, radio, or
VCR.

7. Care
Occasionally, you should dust this unit all over with a
soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water.
Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a clean cloth.
Do not use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other
chemical solvents, because they may damage the finish
or remove the panel lettering.

8. Handling Notes
• If you need to transport this unit, use the original packaging to pack it how it was when you originally bought
it.
• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect sprays, near
this unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this
unit for a long time, because they may leave marks on
the case.
• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm after prolonged use. This is normal.
• When you’ve finished using this unit, remove all discs
and turn off the power.
• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not
work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure
to use it occasionally.

10. Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation may damage this unit.
Read the following carefully:
When you take a glass containing a cold drink outside
on a summer’s day, drops of water, called condensation,
form on the outside of the glass. Similarly, moisture
may condense on the lens of the optical pickup, one of
the most important parts inside this unit.
• Moisture condensation can occur in the following situations:
— The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm
place.
— A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air conditioner is hitting the unit.
— In the summer, when this unit is moved from an
air conditioned room to a hot and humid place.
— The unit is used in a humid place.
• Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility of
moisture condensation occurring. Doing so may damage your discs and certain parts inside this unit.
If condensation does occur, remove all discs and
leave this unit turned on for two to three hours. By
this time, the unit will have warmed up and any condensation will have evaporated. To reduce the risk of
condensation, keep this unit connected to a wall outlet.

RCA/phono AV Connection Color Coding

Before Making Any Connections

RCA/phono AV connections are usually color coded:
red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect rightchannel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”).
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and
outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to
connect composite video inputs and outputs.

• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed
all audio and video connections.

Optical Digital Inputs
The DV-SP402E’s optical digital connectors have a shutter-type cover that opens when an optical plug is
inserted, and closes when it’s removed. Push the plug in
all the way.

To power outlet

• This player is equipped with copy protection technology. Do not connect this player to your TV via a VCR
using AV cables, as the picture from this player will
not appear properly on your TV. (This player may also
not be compatible with some combination TV/VCRs
for the same reason; refer to the manufacturer for more
information.)
• When connecting to your TV as shown above, do not
set the “Component Out” setting (page 41) to “Progressive.”
1. Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT and AUDIO OUTPUT ANALOG L/R jacks to a set of A/V inputs
on your TV.
Use the supplied AV cable (RCA/phono), connecting
the red and white plugs to the audio outputs and the
yellow plug to the video output. Make sure you
match up the left and right audio outputs with their
corresponding inputs for correct stereo sound.
See the following page if you want to use a component or S-Video cable for the video connection.
2. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC
INLET, then plug into a power outlet.

Notes:
• Before unplugging the player from the power outlet,
make sure you first switch it into standby using either
the front panel STANDBY/ON button, or the remote
controller, and wait of the “GOOD BYE” message to
disappear from the player’s display.
• For the above reasons, do not plug this player into a
switched power supply found on some amplifiers and
AV receivers.
Important:
• When Component Out (page 41) is set to Progressive,
there is no video output from the VIDEO OUTPUT
(composite) and S VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.
• If you want to display video on more than one monitor
simultaneously, make sure the player is set to Interlace.
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and switch the player to progressive, you will not be able to see any picture at all. In
this case, switch everything off and reconnect using
the supplied video cable, then switch back to Interlace
(see page 18).

Connecting the DV-SP402E—Continued

Compatibility of this player with
progressive-scan and high-definition TVs
This player is compatible with progressive video Macro
Vision System Copy Guard.
Consumers should note that not all high-definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and
may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case
of 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch the connection to the “standard definition’ output (Interlace). If there are questions
regarding our TV set compatibility with this model,
please contact our customer service center.

Connecting the DV-SP402E—Continued
Note:
• To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV,
see “Video Output settings – Component Out” on
page 41.

Connecting Your TV
• Connect the DVD Player to the TV directly. If you
connect the DVD Player to a VCR, TV/VCR combination, or video selector, the playback picture may be
distorted as DVD videos are copy protected.

Using SCART
Using S-Video

If your TV has a SCART-type AV input, you can use a
SCART cable to connect this player to your TV. This
type of connection carries both the sound and the picture,
so there’s no need to connect up the AUDIO OUTPUT
L/R and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.
• Use a SCART cable (supplied) to connect the AV
CONNECTOR to an AV input on your TV.

If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-Video input,
you can use this instead of the standard (composite) output for a better quality picture.
• Use an S-Video cable (supplied) to connect the S
VIDEO OUTPUT to an S-Video input on your TV (or
monitor or AV receiver).
Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same
mark on the plug before plugging in.

Connecting to an AV Receiver
Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound
from the TV speakers with the connections on page 17,
connecting with an amplifier provides you high quality
dynamic sounds.
To reproduce Dolby Digital surround and DTS surround
sound, you need to connect to an amplifier with a Dolby
Digital and DTS decoder respectively.
Before connecting
• When you connect the DVD Player to the amplifier, be
sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from
the mains before making any connections. Otherwise,
the speakers may be damaged.
• Connect the plugs securely.
To enjoy surround sound you need to connect this player
to an AV receiver using a digital output. This player has
both coaxial and optical digital jacks; use whichever is
convenient.
In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also
connecting using the stereo analog connection.
To record the audio from a CD-R disc etc. to a cassette
or CDR recorder that’s connected to the AV receiver, and
when your AV receiver has Zone2, you must connect the
DV-SP402E’s analog audio outputs to the AV receiver.
You’ll probably also want to connect a video output to
your AV receiver. You can use any of the video outputs
available on this player (the illustration shows a standard
(composite) connection).

This enables you to listen to surround sound.
For an optical connection, use an optical cable (not supplied) to connect the “OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO
OUTPUT” jack to an optical input on your AV receiver.
For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (similar to
the supplied video cable) to connect the “COAXIAL
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” jack to a coaxial input on
your AV receiver.
2. Connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT L/R
and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on this player to a set
of analog audio and video inputs on your AV
receiver.

DV-SP402E.
• The function of the upper and lower
connectors are
the same. Connect to either one.
• Connecting an
cable only does not make the system operational. You must also connect the audio
cables as well.
• For remote control operation, you must make an analog RCA/phono connection between your
DV-SP402E and the other AV component, even if they
are connected digitally.

Connecting the Power/Turning on the DV-SP402E
Before connecting
• Make sure that all the connections on pages 16 – 21
are complete (the connection to a TV is required).

Plug the supplied power cord into
the AC INLET and then into the
power outlet on the wall.
• Do not use a power cord other than the
one supplied with the DV-SP402E.
The power cord supplied is designed
for use with the DV-SP402E and
should not be used with any other
device.
• Never have the power cord disconnected from the DV-SP402E while the
other end is plugged into the wall outlet. Doing so may cause an electric
shock. Always connect by plugging
into the wall outlet last and disconnect
by unplugging from the wall outlet
first.

what you want to watch. These are called PBC (Playback
control) menus.
You can play a PBC Video CD without having to navigate the PBC menu by starting playback using a number
button to select a track, rather than the
(play) button.

Parental Lock level. If your player is set to a lower level
than the disc, the disc won’t play.
Some discs also support the Country Code feature. The
player does not play certain scenes on these discs,
depending on the Country Code you set.
Notes:
• Not all discs use Parental Lock, and will play without
requiring the password first.
• If you forget your password, you’ll need to reset the
player to register a new password. (see page 45)

To change your password, confirm your existing password then enter a new one.

Select “Password Change”.

Use the number buttons to enter
your existing password, then
press ENTER.

Additional information
Screen sizes and disc formats
DVD-Video discs come in several different screen aspect
ratios, ranging from TV programs, which are generally
4:3, to Cinema- Scope widescreen movies, with an
aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.
Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios; “standard” 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

Resetting the player
Use this procedure to reset all the player’s settings to the
factory default.

Switch the player into standby.

Using the front panel buttons, hold
down the
button and press
STANDBY/ON to switch the player
back on.

Widescreen TV users
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting
(page 41) of this player should be set to “16:9 (Wide)”.
When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can
use the TV controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV may offer various zoom and stretch
options; see the instructions that came with your TV for
details.
Please note that some movie aspect ratios are wider than
16:9, so even though you have a widescreen TV, these
discs will still play in a “letter box” style with black bars
at the top and bottom of the screen.

STANDBY/ON

STANDBY

Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the “TV Screen” setting
(page 41) of this player should be set to “4:3 (Letter
Box)” or “4:3 (Pan&Scan)”, depending on which you
prefer.
Set to “4:3 (Letter Box)”, widescreen discs are shown
with black bars top and bottom.

Set to “4:3 (Pan&Scan)”, widescreen discs are shown
with the left and right sides cropped.
Although the picture looks larger, you don’t actually see
the whole picture.

Please note that many widescreen discs override the
player’s settings so that the disc is shown in letter box
format regardless of the setting.
Note:
• Using the “16:9 (Wide)” setting with a standard 4:3
TV, or either of the “4:3” settings with a widescreen
TV, will result in a distorted picture.

Additional information—Continued
Setting the TV system

Titles, chapters and tracks

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”).

Glossary
Analog audio

JPEG

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Compare this to digital audio which can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also
“Digital audio”.

A file format used for still images, such as photographs
and illustrations. JPEG files are identified by the file
extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”. Most digital cameras use this
format.

Aspect ratio

MP3

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost
square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is
almost twice as wide as it is high).

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file
format. Files are recognized by their file extension
“.mp3” or “.MP3”.

Digital audio

An audio format used on Video CDs and some DVD
discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio to PCM format
for wider compatibility with digital recorders and AV
amplifiers. See also “PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)”.

An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During
recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals
(44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-todigital converter, generating a stream of numbers.
On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an
analog signal based on these numbers. See also “Sampling frequency” and “Analog audio”.

MPEG audio

MPEG video

The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. Video
CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses
the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard.

Dolby Digital

PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)

Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio,
this high quality surround system is used in many of the
finer movie theaters around the world.
The on-screen display shows which channels are active,
for example showing 3/2.1. The 3 being the two front
channels and the center channel; the 2 being the surround
channels, and the .1 being the LFE channel.

A system of navigating a Video CD through on-screen
menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs
that you would normally not watch from beginning to
end all at once—karaoke discs, for example.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

DRM (digital rights management) is a type of server
software developed to enable secure distribution of paid
content over the web, recently incorporated by WMA
(Windows Media Audio).

The most common system of encoding digital audio,
found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a
lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital
and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio
recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with
digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS
and MPEG audio to PCM. See also “Digital audio”.

DTS

Regions (DVD-Video only)

DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is
a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has
become a popular surround sound format for movies.

These associate discs and players with particular areas of
the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. You can find the region code of
your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are
compatible with more than one region (or all regions).

DRM

Dynamic range

The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds
possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting
lost in noise).
Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a very
wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like
effects.
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File)

A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for digital
still cameras. Digital cameras from various manufacturers use this compressed file format which carries date,
time and thumbnail information, as well as the picture
data.
File extension

A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type
of file. For example, “.mp3” indicates an MP3 file.

Sampling frequency

The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into
digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the
sound quality, but the more digital information is generated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of
44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements)
per second. See also “Digital audio”.
WMA

WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and refers to
an audio compression technology developed by
Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by
using Windows Media Player version 8 or Windows
Media Player for Windows XP.

ISO 9660 format

International standard for the volume and file structure
of CD-ROM discs.
