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

Before making connections

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

• 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. You may also have a monitor problem when connecting the unit to an integrated TV/Video system.

• In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with

“monitor” or “projector.”

• Terminal names used for other components may be different from those used in the following description.

B Connecting to a TV with an S-video jack

If your TV has an S-VIDEO input, you can get better picture quality by connecting it with the S-VIDEO output of the unit using an S-video cable instead of connecting the video input of the TV to the VIDEO jack of the unit.

Connecting to a digital audio device

You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the unit’s

DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack to a digital input of an amplifier, etc., using a coaxial digital cable. The digital audio signal on a disc will be transferred directly from the unit. If the connected digital audio equipment is a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.


NOTES

• It is not recommended to use the digital jacks for dubbing.

When recording the sounds (DVD VIDEO, SVCD, Video CD or

Audio CD) played back on the unit, record them through the analog jacks.

• Depending on the disc, no signal may be output from the

DIGITAL OUT. Make an analog connection in this case.

• Set [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] in the [AUDIO] preference display correctly according to the connected digital audio equipment. If setting made for [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] is incorrect, loud noise may be generated causing damage to the speakers (see page 23).

[RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume playback of the disc.

• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted position has already been stored, the memory will be updated with the new interrupted position.

• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the unit regards each side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.

• When the unit memorizes an interrupted point for a disc, it also memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.

• The unit may not resume playback exactly from the intterupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with PBC function, the unit may resume playback from a point slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was interrupted.

Operations

The unit can play back MP3 files on a personally recorded CD-R/

About MP3 discs

On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a file (track). Files are sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.

• Each file is regarded as a track.

• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.

• A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.

• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group

1.”

• The unit recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99 groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3 files, they also count in the 150-file total.

Dolby Digital (AC3)

A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the original four channels for playback. Because the audio is recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a two-channel stereo system.

Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is enhanced channel separation.

Down-mix

Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD player. The down-mix signals are output from analog AUDIO OUT connectors.

(5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder, either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for

Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
