Precautions

—Continued

5. Never Touch this Unit

with Wet Hands

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.

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 malfunc-

tion.

• 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 damp-

ened 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 pack-

aging 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 pro-

longed 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.

9. To Obtain a Clear Picture

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 recom-

mend 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.

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 sit-

uations:

—The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm

place.

—A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air con-

ditioner 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 dam-

age 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 con-

densation will have evaporated. To reduce the risk of

condensation, keep this unit connected to a wall out-

let.

Connecting the DV-SP402E—Continued

The setup described here is a basic setup that allows you to play discs using just the cables supplied with the player. In

this setup, stereo audio is played through the speakers in your TV.

• This player is equipped with copy protection technol-

ogy. 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 “Pro-

gressive.”

1. Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT and AUDIO OUT-

PUT 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 compo-

nent 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 Inter-

lace.

•If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a pro-

gressive scan signal and switch the player to progres-

sive, 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).

This player is compatible with progressive video Macro

Vision System Copy Guard.

Consumers should note that not all high-definition tele-

vision 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 recom-

mended that the user switch the connection to the “stan-

dard 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

• Connect the DVD Player to the TV directly. If you

connect the DVD Player to a VCR, TV/VCR combina-

tion, or video selector, the playback picture may be

distorted as DVD videos are copy protected.

Using S-Video

If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-Video input,

you can use this instead of the standard (composite) out-

put 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.

Using Component Video

You can use the component video output instead of the

standard video out jack to connect this player to your TV

(or other equipment).

This should give you the best quality picture from the

three types of video output available.

• Use a component video cable (not supplied) to con-

nect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to a

component video input on your TV, monitor or AV

receiver.

Note:

•To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV,

see “Video Output settings – Component Out” on

page 41.

Using SCART

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.

This connector can output composite video, S-Video, or

RGB video. The default setting is composite, which

should work with all TVs. Consult the manual that came

with your TV to see if you can use one of the higher qual-

ity settings. See page 41 for how to change the video out-

put.

Connecting the DV-SP402E—Continued

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).

1. Connect one of DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jacks

on this player to a digital input on your AV

receiver.

This enables you to listen to surround sound.

For an optical connection, use an optical cable (not sup-

plied) 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.

The diagram shows standard video connections, but you

can alternatively use the S-Video or component video

connections if they’re available.

3. Connect the AV receiver’s video output to a video

input on your TV.

Tip:

•You usually have to connect the same kind of video

cable between your DVD player and AV receiver, and

between your AV receiver and TV.

Audio Settings and Video Adjust menus

The Audio Settings menu offers features for adjusting

the way discs sound.

• Settings: High, Medium, Low, Off (default)

When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume, it’s

easy to lose the quieter sounds completely—including

some of the dialog. Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic

Range Control) to on can help by bringing up the quieter

sounds, while controlling loud peaks.

How much of a difference you hear depends on the mate-

rial you’re listening to. If the material doesn’t have wide

variations in volume, you may not notice much change.

Notes:

•Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio

sources.

•Audio DRC is only effective through the digital output

when Digital Out is set to On, and Dolby Digital Out

is set to Dolby Digital > PCM (see “Digital Audio Out

settings” on page 41).

• The effect of Audio DRC depends on your speakers

and AV receiver settings.

in bold: other settings are shown in italics.

• The Digital Audio Out settings only need to be set if

you have connected the digital output of this player to

an AV receiver, or other equipment.

• Check the operating instructions supplied with your

other equipment to see which digital audio formats it’s

compatible with.

• Some settings, such as TV Screen, Audio Language

Additional information

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; “stan-

dard” 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.

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 pre-

sented. 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.

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.

Use this procedure to reset all the player’s settings to the

factory default.

Additional information—Continued

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”).

Note:

•You have to switch the player into standby (press

STANDBY/ON) before each change.

DVD discs are generally divided into one or more titles.

Titles may be further subdivided into chapters.

CDs and Video CDs are divided into tracks.

CD-ROMs contain folders and files. MP3 and WMA

files are referred to as tracks. Folders may contain further

folders.

All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on the case

somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the world

the disc is compatible with. Your DVD player also has a

region mark, which you can find on the rear panel. Discs

from incompatible regions will not play in this player.

Discs marked “ALL” will play in any player.

The diagram below shows the various DVD regions of

the world.

Glossary

Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Com-

pare this to digital audio which can be an electrical sig-

nal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also

“Digital audio”.

Aspect ratio

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conven-

tional 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).

Digital audio

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-to-

digital converter, generating a stream of numbers.

On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an

analog signal based on these numbers. See also “Sam-

pling frequency” and “Analog audio”.

Dolby Digital

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.

DRM

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).

DTS

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.

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 manufactur-

ers 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.

ISO 9660 format

International standard for the volume and file structure

of CD-ROM discs.

JPEG

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.

MP3

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file

format. Files are recognized by their file extension

“.mp3” or “.MP3”.

MPEG 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)”.

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.

PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)

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)

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”.

Regions (DVD-Video only)

These associate discs and players with particular areas of

the world. This unit will only play discs that have com-

patible 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).

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 gener-

ated. 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.

Change the 96 kHz PCM Out setting to “96 kHz >

48 kHz,” or use analog connections (page 41).

The Digital Out setting is set to “Off.” Change the Digital Out setting to “On” (page 41).

The wrong input source is selected on

your TV, hi-fi amp, or AV receiver.

On your TV, hi-fi amp, or AV receiver, select the

input to which the DV-SP402E is connected.

The audio cable is not connected properly. Check the audio cable and correct as necessary

(page 20).

The TV, hi-fi amp, or AV receiver con-

nected to the DV-SP402E’s audio outputs

is either not on or its volume is turned

down.

Turn on the TV, hi-fi amp, or AV receiver and set

its volume as appropriate.

A DV-SP402E Digital Audio Out setting

is set incorrectly.

Check the Digital Audio Out settings and correct

as necessary (page 41).

Playback is paused. Resume playback (page 26).

The DVD-Video disc or CD uses the DTS

audio format and you are using the analog

outputs.

DTS audio is only output by the digital outputs. To

play DTS material you need to connect one of the

DV-SP402E’s digital outputs to a digital input on

a hi-fi amp or AV receiver that has a DTS decoder

built-in (page 20).

The picture appears

stretched or the wrong

shape?

The TV Screen setting is wrong. Set the TV Screen setting to match the aspect ratio

of your TV (page 41).

Your TV is connected with an S-Video

cable.

If you’ve used an S-Video cable to connect your

TV, in some cases the picture may appear

stretched. In this case, try changing the S-Video

Out setting to “S1” (page 41).

Audio CD playback

skips or jumps or is

noisy?

The loaded audio CD uses copy control.

Copy-controlled CDs are special discs that don’t

conform to the audio CD standard and, therefore,

may not work properly with the DV-SP402E.

An audio CD is loaded

but the DV-SP402E dis-

plays “NO DISC”?

The first track doesn’t

play?

Locating a specific

point takes longer than

usual?

Playback starts in the

middle of a track?

Some sections of a

track are skipped?

Playback stops in the

middle of a track?

The DV-SP402E dis-

plays the wrong mes-

sages?

Some MP3 files don’t

play?

MP3 files without a “.mp3” or “.MP3”

filename extension are not recognized. Use the correct filename extension (page 8).

The MP3 disc contains over 299 folders

and 648 folders and files combined.

The DV-SP402E recognizes only the first 299

folders and 648 folders and files combined. Fold-

ers in excess of this aren’t recognized and cannot

be played (page 9).

The MP3 disc is a multisession disc.

The DV-SP402E doesn’t fully support multises-

sion discs. Only files in the first session can be

played (page 8).

Troubleshooting—Continued

The DV-SP402E contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe

interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely even that this

should happen, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again.

DVD Player

Can’t play MP3/WMA/

JPEG discs?

The disc is not ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2 for-

mat.

Correct format should be used when recording is

ISO 9660 and closed session (page 8).

The disc has not been finalized. Finalize the disc (page 8).

Can’t select MP3 files? MP3 files without a “.mp3” or “.MP3”

filename extension are not recognized. Use the correct filename extension (page 8).

Can’t play WMA files?

WMA files without a “.wma” or “.WMA”

filename extension are not recognized. Use the correct filename extension (page 8).

The WMA file’s copyright option is on. Don’t use the copyright option (page 9).

Can’t view JPEG files?

JPEG files without a “.jpg” or “.JPG” file-

name extension are not recognized. Use the correct filename extension (page 8).

Only Baseline JPEG files are supported.

Progressive JPEG files are not. Use Baseline JPEG files (page 9).

Remote Controller

Buttons on the

DV-SP402E work OK but

those on the remote

controller don’t?

There are no batteries in the remote

controller. Install new batteries (page 10).

The batteries are flat. Replace with new batteries (page 10).

The batteries are installed incorrectly. Check the batteries and correct as necessary

(page 10).

You’re not pointing the remote controller

at the DV-SP402E’s remote sensor.

Point the remote controller at the DV-SP402E’s

remote sensor (page 10).

You’re too far away from the DV-SP402E.

Use the remote controller closer to the

DV-SP402E (page 10). The remote controller has

a range of approximately 5 meters.

A strong light source is interfering with

the DV-SP402E’s remote sensor.

Make sure that the DV-SP402E is not subjected to

direct sunshine or inverter-type fluorescent lights.

Relocate if necessary.

If the DV-SP402E is installed in a cabinet

with colored glass doors, the remote con-

troller may not work reliably when the

doors are closed.

Open the doors, or use a cabinet without colored

glass.
