∫Connecting a television with a VIDEO IN terminal

∫Connecting a television with COMPONENT VIDEO terminals

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive

output and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT

terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color

difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in

order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors.

≥The description of the component video input terminals depends

on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR).

Connect to terminals of the same color.

≥After making this connection, change the black level for a better

picture (➡ page 29, Video—Black Level Control).

∫Connecting a television with an S-VIDEO IN terminal

S VIDEO OUT terminal

The S video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO

OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance

(Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)

Glossary

Decoder

A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This

is called decoding.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby

Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can

also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can

be recorded on one disc using this method.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as

2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround

channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the

world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic

sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound

that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest

level of sound before distortion occurs.

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is

recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at,

while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving

picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second.

One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these

fields one after the other to create frames.

A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is

made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred,

but overall quality is high.

A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a

frame still so picture quality is lower.

Interlace and progressive output

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines,

whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines.

This is called 480P. The video signals output from this unit’s

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals (Y, PB, PR) allow you to enjoy

higher quality pictures than if the signals were output from the

VIDEO OUT terminal or S VIDEO OUT terminal.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with

DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

I: Intra coded picture

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when

adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and

P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on

CDs.

Playback control (PBC)

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and

information with menus.

WMA, MP3, and CD text information

≥Discs must conform to ISO9660 level 1 or 2 (except for extended

formats).

≥This unit is compatible with multi-session but if there are a lot of

sessions it takes more time for play to start. Keep the number of

sessions to a minimum to avoid this.

≥The order tracks appear in the menus may differ to the order shown

on your computer.

[WMA]

≥Noise may occur when playing WMA files.

≥You cannot play WMA files that are copy protected.

[MP3]

≥This unit is not compatible with ID3 tags.

≥If you play an MP3 track that includes still picture data, it will take

some time before the music itself starts playing and the elapsed

time will not be displayed during this time. Even after the track

starts, the correct play time will not be displayed.

Windows Media, and the Windows logo are

trademarks, or registered trademarks of

Microsoft Corporation in the United States

and/or other countries.

WMA is a compression format developed

by Microsoft Corporation. It achieves the

same sound quality as MP3 with a file size

that is smaller than that of MP3.

Listening caution

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to

consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s

Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come

through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be

loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

≥Start your volume control at a low setting.

≥Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

≥Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
