all around this unit for adequate ventilation.
3
Locate this unit away from other electrical
appliances, motors, or transformers to avoid
humming sounds.
4
Do not expose this unit to sudden temperature
changes from cold to hot, nor locate this unit in
an environment with high humidity (i.e., a room
with a humidifier) to prevent condensation inside
this unit, which may cause an electrical shock, fire,
damage to this unit, and/or personal injury.
5
Avoid installing this unit in a location where
foreign objects may fall onto this unit or where
this unit may be exposed to liquid dripping or
splashing. On the top of this unit, do not place:
– Other components, as they may cause damage
and/or discoloration on the surface of this unit.
– Burning objects (i.e., candles), as they may
cause fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal
injury.
– Containers with liquid in them, as they may fall,
spilling the liquid and causing an electrical
shock to the user and/or damage to this unit.
6
Do not cover this unit with a newspaper,
tablecloth, curtain, etc. in order not to obstruct
heat radiation. If the temperature inside this unit
rises, it may cause fire, damage to this unit, and/or
personal injury.
7
Do not plug in this unit to a wall outlet until all
connections are complete.
8
Do not operate this unit upside-down. It may
overheat, possibly causing damage.
9

Preparation
Never make or change connections with
the power switched on.
• Depending on the equipment you wish
to connect, there are various ways you
could connect this unit. Possible
connections are shown in the following
drawings.
• Please refer to the manuals of other
equipment as necessary to make the
best connections.
• Do not connect this unit via your VCR.
The video quality could be distorted by
the copy protection system.
• Do not connect this unit’s audio out
jack to the phono in jack of your audio
system.
This unit has COAXIAL and OPTICAL
digital out jacks. Connect one or both of
them to your AV receiver equipped with
Dolby digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder
using a commercially available cable.
You will need to set this unit’s digital
output to ALL (see page 19
“DIGITAL OUTPUT”).
Note:
– If the audio format of the digital output
does not match the capabilities of your
receiver, the receiver will produce a strong,
distorted sound or no sound at all. Make
sure to select the appropriate audio format
at menu screen included on the disc.
Pressing AUDIO once or more may change
not only audio languages but also audio
formats, and the selected format appears
for several seconds on the status window.
Use the supplied audio pin cable to
connect AUDIO OUT L (left) and R (right)
jacks of this unit to corresponding input
jacks of your audio equipment such as
Stereo amplifier.

Preparation
If your AV receiver has video output jacks,
connect your receiver (and then to your
TV) so that you can use one TV for several
different video sources (LD, VCR, etc.) by
simply switching the input source selector
of your receiver.
The player has 4 types of video output
jacks. Use one of them in accordance with
the input jacks of the equipment to be
connected.
S-Video terminal <A>
S (separate) video connection achieves a
clearer picture than composite video
connection by separating color and
luminance when transmitting signals. Use
commercially available S-video cable.
Receiver (and TV) with S-video input is
required.
Composite Video terminal <B>
Use the supplied video pin cable when
connecting the player to an AV receiver.
Component Video terminal <C>
Component video connection achieves
high fidelity in reproducing colors (better
performance than S-video connection),
separating video signal into luminance (Y,
terminal color-coded as green), and color
difference (Pb, blue/Pr, red). Use
commercially available coaxial cables.
Receiver (and TV) with component input is
required. Observe the color of each jack
when connecting. If your receiver does not
have component output jacks, connecting
the player’s component output directly to
your TV’s component input can reproduce
better video image.
Note:
– You need to set this unit’s component
output to YUV (see page 22 “Switching the
YUV/RGB”).
SCART Connection <D>
If your TV has only terminal for video
input, and you want to connect it directly
to this unit, you can use this unit’s SCART
output jack.
Note:
– Ensure that the “TV” indication on SCART
cable is connected to the TV set and “DVD”
indication on SCART cable is connected to
this unit.

Glossary
Analog: Sound that has not been turned into num-
bers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound has
specific numerical values. These jacks send audio
through two channels, the left and right.
Aspect ratio:
The ratio of vertical and horizontal
sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical
ratio of conventional TVs. is 4:3, and that of wide-
screens is 16:9.
A
UDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the
DVD System that send audio to another system (TV,
Stereo, etc.).
Bit Rate:
The amount of data used to hold a given
length of music; measured in kilobits per seconds, or
kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally,
the higher the bit rate, or the higher the recording
speed, the better the sound quality. However, higher
bit rates use more space on a Disc.
Cha
pter: Sections of a picture or a music piece on
a DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is com-
posed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a
chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter
you want.
Component

of the DVD System that send high-quality video to a
TV that has Component Video In jacks (R/G/B, Y/Pb/
Pr, etc.).
Disc men

selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multi-angles,
etc. recorded on a DVD.
Digital:
Sound that has been converted into
numerical values. Digital sound is available when you

DivX 3.11/4x/5x:
The DivX code is a patent pend-

tures small decrease in image quality in spite of its
high compression ratio.
MP3:
A file format with a sound data compression
system. “MP3” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture
Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer 3. By
using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can con-
tain about 10 times as much data volume as a regu-
lar CD can.
