About discs

Playable disc types

Playable and non-playable disc types are as follows:

Playable discs

Disc structure

A DVD disc is comprised of “titles,” while an Audio CD, Video CD or SVCD is comprised of “tracks.” Each title may be

divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title

number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD karaoke disc, each song usually has its own

title number and does not have chapters. In general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the

same title has continuity.

(Example: DVD disc)

(Example: Audio CD/Video CD/SVCD)

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2

Title 1 Title 2

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4

Non-playable discs

DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD Audio, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-R, CD-ROM, PHOTO CD, CD-RW, CD-EXTRA, CD-G,

CD-TEXT

• Playing back discs listed as “Non-playable discs” in the table above may generate noise and damage speakers.

• This unit can play back audio recorded in CD-G, CD-EXTRA and CD-TEXT discs.

ALL

The DVD Logo is a trademark.

DVD VIDEO Video CD SVCD Audio CD

• DVD players and DVD discs have their own Region Code numbers. This unit only can play back DVD discs whose

Region Code numbers include the unit’s Region Code, which is indicated on the region code symbol on the rear

panel.

Examples of playable DVD discs if the unit‘s Region Code is “2”:

VIDEO CD

• With some DVD, Video CD and SVCD discs, you may not be able to control them according to the instructions described in this

manual, because of the contents of the disc.

Connections

*In the following description, "TV" may be substituted with "monitor" or "projector."

*Before using the unit, you have to connect the unit to a TV and/or amplifier.

Before making any connections

• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other connections have been made.

• Since different components often have different terminal names, carefully read the instructions supplied with the

component you are going to connect.

To connect to a TV

You can enjoy using the unit by simply connecting it to a TV. To improve audio sound quality, connect the audio

outputs to your separate audio equipment. (See the following pages.)

Getting started

Connect the unit to a TV equipped with stereo audio input and video input jacks using the supplied audio/video

cables.

• If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts

stereo audio output to monaural.

• If your TV has an S-video input, you should connect it with the S-VIDEO output of the unit using the supplied S-

video cable in addition to the (standard) video connection to get better picture quality.

• The ATTENUATOR switch should be normally set to OFF. If you hear distorted audio because the sensitivity of the

TV’s audio input is too high, set this switch to ON.

The unit is compatible with the PAL and NTSC color systems. Set the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch on the rear panel to

match the color system of your TV. Make sure that the color system of the DVD/Video CD/SVCD disc labeled on the

package matches your TV.

If you use a multi-system TV, you can play discs recorded on both PAL and NTSC systems.

• Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the unit to a TV via a VCR may

cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc.

To connect to audio equipment with a digital input

You can enhance the sound quality by connecting the unit’s DIGITAL OUT (optical) to the digital input of an amplifier,

DAT or MD by using an optional digital cable. The digital stereo audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If

you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG Multichannel decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder by

using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.

When you make the digital connection, also make the analog connection, because, depending on the disc type, no

audio may be reproduced from the DIGITAL OUT.

• When you connect the unit's DIGITAL OUT to digital audio equipment, before using, make the “DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT”

setting in the “AUDIO” page of the preference display correctly according to the connected audio equipment. If the “DIGITAL

AUDIO OUTPUT” is not set correctly, loud noise may be generated from speakers, causing damage to your speakers. See

“DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” on page 43.

• With the digital connection, the unit’s settings for COMPRESSION and DOWN MIX in the AUDIO page of the preference display

are invalid. Settings for these items must be made from the decoder.

• For digital connection, connect the unit’s DIGITAL OUT (optical) to the digital input of audio equipment using an

optional digital cable.

unit’s AC IN connector, then insert the other end to the wall outlet. Make sure that plugs are inserted firmly. The

STANDBY indicator lights and setup is completed.

Warning

• Disconnect the power cord if you are not going to use the unit for a long time.

• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the unit.

• Disconnect the power cord before moving the unit.

• Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands.

• Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting it, as this may damage the cord and cause fire, electric shock, or

other accidents.

Caution

• Do not damage, alter, twist, or pull the power cord, as this may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents.

• To prevent any accidents or damages caused by an unsuitable AC power cord, only use the supplied power cord. If

the cord is damaged, contact a dealer and get a new power cord.

• Do not put anything heavy, or the unit, on the power cord, as this may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents.
