recommend that you take some time right now to read through this manual and familiarize yourself with the player. I Know, You Really Want to Get Going I know that you’d rather use your DVD player than read about it, so I’ve divided this manual up into sections that address how to use each type of disc that you can play on your player: DVDs, Audio CDs, and Video CDs. So, you don’t have to read all of the book at once. Please Read This Section First This section includes key information to get you started in the right direction. You’ll get your DVD player set up and connected, then you can go back to the sections that discuss specific features as you want to use them. A Note about the Illustrations The illustrations in this book are representational, and in some instances may not exactly match the item represented. Setup and Connections 3 UNPACKING THE BOX Unpack the Box Carefully unpack the items in the box: • DVD player • Remote control and batteries • Audio/Video cables • S-Video cable • Power cord Install Batteries in the Remote 1. Open the battery door on the back of the remote. 2. Insert fresh batteries. Make sure that the polarities (+ and –) are aligned correctly. 3. Replace the battery door. Important Battery Information • If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batteries because they can leak and cause damage. • Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations. • Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged. • Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury. 4 Setup and Connections PREPARE TO CONNECT THE DVD PLAYER Types of Discs That the Player Can Play This DVD player is capable of playing the following types of discs, having the corresponding logos: • DVDs • Audio CDs • Video CDs DIGITAL VIDEO Prepare to Connect the DVD Player Before you connect your DVD player, there are a few things that you need to know. Protect Your Components from Power Surges • Connect all components before plugging any power cords into the wall outlet. • Always turn off the DVD player, TV, and other components before you connect or disconnect any cables. Position Cables Correctly to Avoid Audio Hum or Interference • Insert all cable plugs firmly into their jacks. • Place the audio/video cables to the sides of the TV’s back panel instead of straight down the middle after you connect your components. • • Try not to coil any twin-lead cables and keep them away from the audio/video cables as much as possible. DO NOT Use CD-R Discs! The wave length of the pickup of this DVD player may cause CD-R discs to be erased. DO NOT play CD-R discs in this player! CAUTION Protect your components from overheating. • Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DVD player. • Do not block ventilation holes in any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely. • Allow adequate ventilation when placing your components in a stand. See Safety Information, inside front cover. Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Setup and Connections 5 TYPES OF JACKS AND CABLES Types of Jacks and Cables Before deciding which method to connect the DVD player, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the different types of jacks and cable. S-Video Jack and Cable (S-VHS) The S-Video jack provides excellent picture quality for your DVD player. This jack is available on many TVs. Because the S-Video jack carries only the picture signal, and not the sound, you’ll also need to connect the left and right audio cables. S S-Video Jack Audio/Video Jacks and Cables (RCA-type) The audio/video jacks provide very good picture and stereo sound quality, and should be used if your TV has no S-Video jack. Each jack is color coded (yellow for video, red for right audio, and white for left audio). If your TV has only one input for audio (mono), you may need a Y-adaptor (not included) to combine sound from both channels. Audio/Video Jack RF Jacks and Coaxial Cables (F-type) You may not need coaxial cables to connect the DVD player to your TV, but you may need to use coaxial cables to carry the cable, satellite, or off-air signal to your television. Coaxial Jack Digital Cable If you own a Dolby Digital receiver with a digital coaxial input, you can use that cable to connect the DVD player to that receiver to get the best sound quality. RF Jack RF Modulator If your television has only an RF input jack, you will need to use an RF modulator (not included) to convert the line output signal to an RF signal. RF Modulator CH3 CH4 A/B (Front) RF Out Audio (L) Ant In Video (Back) 6 Setup and Connections CHOOSING A CONNECTION Choosing a Connection The following pages show examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player with a TV and other components. Refer to your TV, VCR, or Dolby Digital Receiver owner’s manual for more information on hooking up your specific components. DVD Player + TV without A/V Input Jacks ...................... 8 If your television only has antenna (RF) inputs, you will need to get an RF modulator and A/V cable “Y” adapter (not included) in order to connect the DVD player. DVD Player + TV with A/V Input Jacks (and/or S-Video) 9 If your television has A/V input jacks use them to connect your DVD for better quality picture and sound. (For the best quality picture, use the S-Video input if your television has one.) DVD Player + Stereo Amplifier/Receiver + TV .............. 10 If your television has an S-Video input, and you have a Dolby Digital Receiver (with a digital coaxial-type input jack), use this connection to get the best quality picture and sound. DVD Player + TV + VCR ................................................ 11 If you want to include a VCR in your connection scheme, this shows you one possible connection. Finishing the Connection After you have connected all of the components, you will need to attach the power cord, and set the on-screen menu language. Don’t Forget to Plug It In After you’ve connected the components, don’t forget to plug in the DVD player. Details at the end of this section. Setup and Connections 7 DVD PLAYER + TV WITHOUT A/V INPUT JACKS DVD Player + TV without A/V Input Jacks (Good Picture and Mono Sound Quality) TV ANT IN RF MODULATOR (not included) Video RF Out Audio (L) CABLE OR OFF-AIR SIGNAL Ant In "Y" ADAPTER (not included) DVD PLAYER COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT AUDIO OUT L VIDEO OUT S-VIDEO OUT R To Connect the DVD Player If you do not have audio/video input jacks on your television, you need to use an RF modulator and A/V cable “Y” adapter (not included). 1. Connect the “Y” adapter to the DVD player’s AUDIO OUT L & R jacks, and a standard A/V cable to the VIDEO OUT jack. 2. Connect the other ends of the cable and adapter to the corresponding inputs on the RF modulator. 3. Connect the off-air antenna or your cable signal to the antenna input on the RF modulator (if it has one). 4. Connect the output from the modulator to the antenna input on your television. CAUTION Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DVD player. See Safety Information, inside front cover. To Watch DVD Tune your television to RF modulator output channel (the modulator should have a CH 3/4 switch to indicate the output channel). NOTE: • You may need to adjust the A/B switch on the RF modulator to watch television programming. 8 Setup and Connections Consult the owner’s manuals of the additional components you are connecting for more detailed connection information for those particular components.

CAUTION Note: • Your cable or off-air connection to the television should not be affected by this connection. Connect as you normally would to your television. (You may need to consult your television manual for details.) Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DVD player. See Safety Information, inside front cover. To Watch DVD Tune your television to either the Video or S-Video input channel. Consult your television manual for specific details. Consult the owner’s manuals of the additional components you are connecting for more detailed connection information for those particular components. Setup and Connections 9 DVD PLAYER + TV + DOLBY DIGITAL RECEIVER DVD Player + TV + Dolby Digital Receiver (Best Picture and Sound Quality) TV AUDIO VIDEO S-VIDEO ANT IN L CABLE OR OFF-AIR SIGNAL R OR DVD PLAYER COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT AUDIO OUT L VIDEO OUT S-VIDEO OUT R This player’s coaxial digital output jack is designed for connection to a Dolby Digital receiver or decoder. OR DOLBY DIGITAL RECEIVER DIGITAL IN AUDIO IN L R To Connect the DVD Player 1. PLEASE READ BEFORE USING THE DIGITAL OUT JACK! Connect the left and right A/V cables to the A/V receiver, Or Connect a coaxial digital cable to the DIGITAL OUT jack on the DVD player and to the digital input on a Dolby Digital receiver. 2. Connect the video cable (or the S-Video cable if your television has an S-Video input). Dolby Digital This format is used when 5.1-channel audio signals are recorded onto the digital track of film. It provides six separate channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and common subwoofer. Older digital equipment may not be compatible with the Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection can create a high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and could damage headphones or speakers. If you have this problem, try changing the Dolby Digital output from bitstream to PCM using the Digital Output feature in the Setup menu. See “Using the Setup Menu” for more details. CAUTION Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DVD player. See Safety Information, inside front cover. To Watch DVD Tune your television to either the Video or S-Video input channel for the video output. Use your Dolby Digital receiver for audio output. 10 Setup and Connections Consult the owner’s manuals of the additional components you are connecting for more detailed connection information for those particular components. DVD PLAYER + TV + VCR DVD Player + TV + VCR The following is one possible connection if you want to include a VCR in your connection scheme. TV AUDIO VIDEO S-VIDEO ANT IN L R OR DVD PLAYER COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT AUDIO OUT L VIDEO OUT S-VIDEO OUT R OR CABLE OR OFF-AIR SIGNAL VCR R L OUT TO TV OUT AUDIO VIDEO IN FROM ANT IN L R To Connect the DVD Player 1.

Use a video cable to connect the player’s VIDEO OUT jack to a TV (or the S-video cable to connect the S-VIDEO OUT jack, if your television has an S-Video input). DVD Copy Protection Many DVD discs are encoded with copy protection. Because of this, you should only connect your DVD player directly to your TV, not to a VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture from copy-protected DVD discs. To Connect the VCR CAUTION 1. Do not stack electronic components or other objects on top of the DVD player. See Safety Information, inside front cover. Connect the off-air antenna or cable to the antenna input on the VCR. 2. Use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna output on the VCR to the antenna input on the television. To Watch DVD Tune your television to either the Video or S-Video input channel. Consult your television manual for specific details. To Watch VCR Consult the owner’s manuals of the additional components you are connecting for more detailed connection information for those particular components. Tune your television to channel 3 or 4 depending on how you set the CH3/4 switch on the back of the VCR. Setup and Connections 11 SETTING UP THE MENU LANGUAGES Connect the AC Power Cord 1st 2nd After you have connected the components, you need to connect the AC power cord. Connect the AC power cord to the back of the DVD player and to an AC power outlet (AC120 V, 50-60 Hz). Setting Up the Menu Language By default, the player’s menu language is set to English. If you want to change the language, press MENU on the remote. After plugging in the player, the first time you press the button, this screen comes up: Press the number on the remote corresponding to the language of your choice. Other Language Options The Menu Language feature changes the language only for the text on the menu screens. There are other language options available for subtitling and audio. For more information on these language options, see “Using the Setup Menu” later in this manual. 12 Setup and Connections NOTE: Make sure that the plug is fully seated in the DVD player. PLAYING DVDS A New Way of Looking At Things In this section you learn how to use your DVD player to play DVD discs (DVDs for short). As a little up-front information, you should know that although some of the remote buttons look the same as those you would use with a VCR or CD player, the functions work somewhat differently. So, take some time now to find out how to play DVDs, and then you can sit back and enjoy all of the features it has to offer you. Also Keep In Mind... In order for some of the player’s features to work, the DVDs that you use must be encoded with specific information. For example, a disc must contain subtitles in order for the player to show them to you. Regional Coding Both the DVD player and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must match in order for the disc to play. If the codes do not match, the disc will not play. This player’s code is Region No. 1. Playing DVDs 13 LOADING AND PLAYING A DVD Loading and Playing a DVD CC Before you load a disc, make sure that it is compatible with the player. Note that the following discs CANNOT be used with this player: • Laserdisc • CD-I, CD-ROM, CD-R, DVD-ROM • MiniDisc • Discs recorded using other broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or SECAM) • 't Catch Up an Single-sided disc (label side up) CD-G discs play audio only, not graphics To Load and Play a DVD tc Ca h ) on Can 't 1. (Widescreen Up Versi Make sure the DVD player is properly connected (see “Setup and Connections”) and turned on before you begin. Label Press the OPEN•CLOSE button on the front of the DVD player. 2. Place a disc gently into the tray with the disc’s label facing up (double-sided discs have a small label on both sides near the center). 3. Press the OPEN•CLOSE or PLAY button to close the disc tray. The DVD player reads the disc’s table of contents, and then begins playback, or displays the disc menu (if the DVD has one). A DVD’s behavior is determined by how it’s been “authored”—or programmed. Double-sided disc Accessing the Disc Menu Many DVDs will skip the disc menu and begin playback automatically. During playback, press the MENU button on the remote to access the disc menu. Resume Feature An example of a disc menu. 4. Press STOP to stop playback. 14 Playing DVDs When you stop disc play, the player remembers where you stopped, so when you press PLAY again to begin play, it will pick up where you left off (unless the disc is removed, the STOP button is pressed twice, or the player is unplugged). Because this feature uses elapsed time as a marker, it does not work with discs that do not keep elapsed time (for example, interactive DVDs). USING A DVD’S DISC MENU Using a DVD’s Disc Menu POWER A DVD is capable of having a disc menu—its own on-screen menu system separate from the player’s displays. This menu may allow you to change features such as language and playback settings. Although disc menus’ content and operation differ from DVD to DVD, the following example should give you a pretty good idea of what to expect. 1. When the disc is playing, press MENU to bring up the disc menu. 2. Use the up and down MOVE arrows to highlight the setting or feature you want to change and press OK.

Note that not all DVDs contain multiple camera angles. Chapter Each Title on a DVD can be divided into chapters (similar to tracks on an audio CD). Disc Menu The Disc menu is an on-screen menu (or series of menus) included with the program content of a DVD. These menus vary from disc to disc, and should not be confused with the player’s own on-screen menus. Dolby Digital A digital surround sound format that provides six separate (discrete) audio channels: left, right, center, left rear, right rear, and subwoofer To play back a Dolby Digital soundtrack, connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack to a compatible Dolby Digital receiver. If you have a Dolby Pro Logic Surround decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark. LPCM Linear Pulse Code Modulation—a digital recording process. Turning LPCM on in the Setup menu converts 96KHz/ 24-bit digital audio to 48KHz/16-bit audio which is compatible with digital recording devices such as MiniDisc and DAT recorders. Subtitling Because so much information can be stored on a DVD, many discs may contain foreign language subtitles. Title A DVD may contain several different titles; for example, if a disc contains four different movies, each might be considered a title (and each may have several Chapters within it).
