Note ³The equipment connections described are examples. ³Peripheral equipment and optional cables sold separately unless otherwise indicated. º Before connections ³Ensure that this player and other equipment to be connected are switched to the standby mode or off and disconnect the AC power supply cord before commencing connection. ³Do not block ventilation holes of any of the equipment and arrange them so that air can circulate freely. ³Read through the instructions before connecting other equipment. ³Ensure that you observe the color coding when connecting audio and video cables. Note ³TV volume may be lower when playing DVDs than during television broadcasts. Turn the volume up while playing DVDs and reduce it to the previous level before switching the source back to television to avoid sudden changes in volume. ³When you have finished connection, select the appropriate screen type at the initial setting “6 TV Aspect” according to your television (4:3/16:9) (á page 31). No changes are needed if you connect the player to a conventional television (4:3). Conserving power ³The unit consumes approx. 2.0 W even when it is turned off with [STANDBY/ON]. To save power when the unit is not to be used for a long time, unplug it from the household AC outlet. 8  Connecting an AV amplifier with a built-in decoder You can enjoy the 5.1-channel surround sound found on DVD recorded with Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround by connecting an AV amplifier with a built-in decoder or a separate decoder-amplifier combination.

If it is not acceptable for 96 kHz/24 bit digital audio signal, or the 96 kHz linear PCM disc you want to play is copyright-protected, it is recommended to set “1 No” and make analog connection to enjoy high quality sound (If it is set to “Yes”, the player converts linear PCM to 48 kHz even during analog output). ¤2 When connecting an amplifier (with an optical digital input terminal) which does not contain a Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround decoder, be sure to select “PCM” at “2 Dolby Digital” and “Off” at “3 DTS Digital Surround”. If “Bitstream” is selected, any attempt to play DVDs (or CDs encoded with DTS) may cause a high level of noise that can injure your ears and damage your speakers. Advanced Operations Type of equipment connected For your reference ³Dolby Digital is a digital sound compression technique developed by Dolby Laboratories. Supporting 5.1-channel surround sound, as well as stereo (2-channel) sound, this technique enables a large quantity of sound data to be efficiently recorded on a disc. ³DTS Digital Surround is a 5.1-channel surround sound system, which is widely used in movie theaters around the world. The separation between channels is good and provides a very real surround effect. ³Linear PCM is an uncompressed digital audio signal. While a CD is recorded in 44.1 kHz/16 bit, a DVD is recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit up to 96 kHz/ 24 bit. Therefore, the sound reproduced with these signals is potentially better than that found on CDs. This player reproduces linear PCM in two channels. ³Bitstream is a compressed digital audio signal. This signal can be decoded into different channels to produce, for instance, 5.1-channel surround sound. ³The digital audio output terminal (optical) converts electrical signals into optical signals and transfers them to an amplifier. These optical signals are immune from electrical interference, and they also have minimal effect on other equipment. ³These changes to digital audio output must be made, otherwise bitstream signals the decoder cannot handle will be output. If these signals are output, “noise” will be output which can cause harm to your ears and speakers. Note ³You cannot use DTS Digital Surround decoders not suited to DVD.

Note ³Audio is heard at any speed when playing CDs, regardless of any settings at “2 Audio during Search”. ³Audio is not heard at any speed when playing CDs encoded with DTS, regardless of any settings at “2 Audio during Search”. 34  For your reference ³I/P/B To efficiently store video on DVD, common elements among frames are used in common, and different elements are recorded with each individual frame. The frame that contains the common elements is called an I-picture, a complete frame in itself. A P-picture is calculated from past I or P-pictures. The frame that fills in the spaces between the I-and P-pictures is called the B-picture. I-pictures have the best picture quality, so they should be used when making picture adjustments. ³Frame Individual images in a video or on the television are called frames. ³Field Half of the video information (video signal) in a frame is called a field. With conventional TV systems, a single frame (a single screen) consists of two fields. ³Frame still The two fields are displayed alternately on the TV screen, so the image may be blurry. However, the image quality is better than field images. ³Field still Only one field (half of the video information) is displayed on the TV screen, so the apparent resolution is low. However, there is no blurring on the screen. DVD software is recorded in a variety of picture formats, and how they appear on your TV depends on the software, the kind of TV you have, and the picture mode your TV is set to. ³Letterbox refers to pictures where black bands appear at the top and bottom. ³Pan and scan refers to pictures where part of the picture is cut off so it fills the whole screen.

Advanced Operations How different kinds of software appear on your television The names given to the television picture modes depends on the make of your television. There may also be slight differences in how the pictures appear on the screen. Refer to your television’s operating instructions for details. 35  Troubleshooting Guide Before requesting service for this player, check the chart below for a possible cause of the problem you are experiencing. Some simple checks or a minor adjustment on your part may eliminate the problem and restore proper operation. If you are in doubt about some of the check points, or if the remedies indicated in the chart do not solve the problem, contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for instructions.
