Introduction
Care & cleaning
Always switch off and disconnect the unit from the mains before
cleaning. The outside surfaces of the unit may be cleaned with a
soft dry cloth. For stubborn marks (such as from liquid spillage),
a soft damp cloth may be used in conjunction with a mild
detergent solution (dilute a household detergent cleaner 5:1 with
water). Wipe thoroughly dry with a dry cloth after. NEVER use
solvent cleaners of any kind.
Always switch the unit off and disconnect it from the AC supply
before moving it. NEVER move the unit while it is in use, as this
may permanently damage the disc.
Installing the Remote Control
batteries
To insert the batteries in the infra-red remote control handset:
• Slide off the battery compartment lid on the rear of the
handset
• Insert two AAA batteries, taking care to orientate them
the correct way (refer to markings within the battery
compartment)
• Slide battery compartment lid back on
CDs and DVDs should ALWAYS be handled with care. Hold
discs only by the edge or the centre hole. Never put discs “face
down” on any surface as they can scratch easily. Smudges
and fingerprints may be removed from a disc’s playing surface
by wiping it gently with a soft, lint-free cloth “across” the disc
radius. Never rub circumferentially. Stubborn marks can be
removed by applying a small amount of isopropyl alcohol (distilled
water is often as effective), again with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Alternatively, use a commercially available CD cleaning kit.
NEVER use solvent cleaners of any kind.
Important! Please observe the following guidelines when
replacing batteries:
• Always change both batteries at the same time.
• Always use two batteries of the same brand and type.
• Dispose of the old batteries in a responsible manner –
always observe local environmental guidelines.

Introduction
• CD-R/RW and DVD-R/RW discs containing audio and/or
video files recorded with the following schemes
Using the RC-89 Remote Control
handset
• MPEG1 and MPEG2 files containing only audio objects
in Layer 3 (i.e. MP3 files) including fixed or variable bit
rates at fs=44.1 kHz or 48 kHz
• Make sure there are no obstacles between the handset
and the unit.
• The handset should work reliably within 7m of the unit, and
within 30° of the direct line between the handset and the
unit.
• MPEG1 and MPEG2 files containing both audio and
video objects
• MPEG4 ASP-coded video files (e.g. *.avi files)
containing embedded MPEG, Dolby Digital or PCM
audio
• Strong sunlight or fluorescent lighting may make remote
control operation less reliable.
• Remote control handsets for different equipment
sometimes interact. If the UDP-89 is installed adjacent
to other infra-red-controlled equipment, you should satisfy
yourself that the UDP-89’s handset is not affecting the
other equipment, or vice-versa. One or more items may
need to be moved if interaction is observed.
• *.jpg picture files
More detailed descriptions of the various disc types will be found
throughout the manual.
• A falling-off of the operating range of the handset will
generally indicate that it is time to change the batteries.
Compatible disc types
The UDP-89 supports the following types of media: CD, CD-R,
CD-RW, DVD-V, DVD-A, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW,
SACD.
Compatible audio and video
formats
Numerous encoding schemes for both audio and video data have
been implemented since the initial introduction of the CD and
DVD media formats. Most - but not all - schemes are defined
for one particular type of media. The number of combination
of media types and encoding schemes is now quite large, and
it is a fundamental purpose of the UDP-89 to replay audio
and/or video from as many of the disc types currently in use as
possible.
The UDP-89 is able to replay the following disc types:
• Standard red-book-compliant audio CDs
• Standard DVD video discs (DVD-V) including decoding of
Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio bitstreams, or PCM
audio up to 24-bit at fs=96 kHz
• Scarlet book 2.0-compliant Super Audio CDs (SACD),
including single, dual and hybrid layer versions
• DVD-Audio discs (DVD-A) containing audio in various
formats, including 16-bit stereo at fs=44.1 or 48 kHz,
24-bit 6-channel at fs=88.2 or 96 kHz, and 24-bit stereo
at fs=176.4 or 192 kHz
• White book-compliant Video CDs (VCD) containing MPEG1
video with MPEG Layer 2 stereo audio at fs=44.1 kHz
• Super Video CDs (SVCD) containing MPEG2 video with
either one or two MPEG Layer 2 stereo audio tracks at
fs=44.1 kHz, or MPEG2 5.1 audio

Connectivity
Connectivity
All electrical connections to the UDP-89 (apart from
headphones) are made via the rear panel.
Connector Details
Analogue Audio Outputs:
Analogue Audio Outputs
Electronically-balanced main stereo Left and Right out
(2 x XLR3M)
Unbalanced main stereo Left & Right out ( 2 x phono/RCA)
Unbalanced 5.1 surround out – L, C & R Front, L & R
surround, LFE ( 6 x phono/RCA)
Main L & R outputs. These are electronically-balanced,
and have a nominal level of +4 dBu. The output circuits
can drive a maximum output level of >+22 dBu. They are
calibrated internally to produce +22 dBu from a PCM signal
of 0 dBFS. Pinouts of these and all rear panel connectors
can be found in the manual Appendix.
The format of the audio available at these connectors will
depend on the type of disc being played. Discs with only
stereo audio data will reproduce normal L & R stereo.
Discs with multichannel audio data will generally reproduce
an internally-generated downmix of the multichannel audio,
though this will vary with disc type and encoding system.
See later manual sections on individual disc types and
encoding systems for more information.
Electronically-balanced main stereo out L & R, plus 5.1 surround out (D25F)
Digital Audio Outputs
AES/EBU main stereo Left & Right out (XLR3M)
Unbalanced L & R analogue outputs. These carry
the same audio signal as the main outputs
above, but
in unbalanced form on phono connectors (RCA jacks) at a
nominal level of -10 dBv. Output level is calibrated internally
to produce +8 dBv from a PCM signal of 0 dBFS.
S/PDIF PCM/bitstream out (phono/RCA)
S/PDIF PCM/bitstream out (optical TOSlink connector)
Analogue Video Outputs
Unbalanced multichannel outputs. These are
a set of six phono connectors (RCA jacks) providing the
components of a 5.1.surround sound recording when a
suitably-encoded disc is played. The electrical characteristics
of these outputs are the same as those of the unbalanced
L & R connectors described in
above.
Component video out, RGB/YPbPr switchable (3 x phono/RCA)
RGB switching output (2.5 mm 2-pole jack)
S-Video out (4-pin mini-DIN)
Composite video out (phono/RCA)

Digital Video Output
HDMI out (19-pin Type A HDMI connector). Note this
connector also carries digital audio.
Unbalanced multichannel analogue outputs.
Other Connectors
The format of the audio available at these connectors
will depend on the type of disc being played. Discs with
multichannel audio data will reproduce the six (5.1) channels
individually. Discs with only stereo audio data will duplicate
the normal L & R stereo at the LF and RF connectors, the
other outputs being muted.

Balanced multichannel outputs. This is a
25-pin female Dsub connector carrying electronicallybalanced versions of both the main L & R outputs and the
multichannel outputs. The signals at this connector will
always be the same as those at the unbalanced connectors
and
. The electrical characteristics are the same as
.
those of the balanced L & R connectors described in
Digital video output:
HDMI out. Digital video plus digital audio is available
at the 19-pin Type-A High Definition Multimedia Interface
(HDMI) connector. Pre-made cables are normally used for
this interface, but the pinout may be found in Appendix 1
(see page 44).
Other:
Digital Audio Outputs:
AES/EBU out. This provides a two-channel AES/EBU digital output conforming to AES3-1992 (r1997)
amendment 4-1999.
The format of the audio available at this connector will
depend on the type of disc being played. In the case of
discs with only stereo audio data, normal L & R stereo will
be output. When multichannel audio discs are played, an
internally-generated downmix of the multichannel audio will
be carried. Onward transmission of the AES/EBU output will
be restricted with certain encoding systems. See page 33
on individual disc types and encoding systems for more
information.
S/PDIF out (coaxial). A two-channel “consumer”
digital output conforming to IEC60958-4 is available at this
connector. The signal will generally be the same programme
as at the AES/EBU connector
, but may vary with some
types of discs and encoding schemes. When decoding Dolby
Digital, DTS or MPEG-1 Layer 2 bitstreams, the output at
the S/PDIF connector may be selected to be either the
2-channel PCM signal, or the raw bitstream for external
decoding.
RS232 serial remote control connector. The
UDP-89 can be fully controlled remotely via RS232 serial
commands, e.g. from an external control system (Crestron,
AMX, etc.) Port parameters and an abridged command
set protocol can be found on page 42. The connector is
a D9M. Please refer to the website to download the full
protocol and a Windows test application.
Parallel remote control connector. The UDP-89’s
basic transport commands can also be implemented by voltfree contact closure at the pins of this connector (a D9F).
Five of the pins are designated as inputs, three as outputs
(tallies). The functions controlled by each of the inputs are
user-definable via the menu system. The source of the tally
outputs is similarly definable. Full information is available on
page 41.
AC mains input. The UDP-89 is powered via a standard
European IEC connector. The UDP-89’s design includes a
universal power supply and will accept all AC mains voltages
from 100 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz.
S/PDIF out (optical). Standard TOSlink connector
carrying the same signal as
above, in optical form. Use a
standard optical TOSlink cable of not more than 3 m length.
Analogue video outputs:
Component video out. Component video is available
at these three connectors in either RGB or YPbPr (YUV)
format. The default format is YPbPr. Output impedance is
75 ohms. Output format selection is via the menu system
(see page 39). In RGB mode, the composite video output at

Audio Level
With all types of discs, the volume of the audio can be adjusted
from the UDP-89 itself, using the VOLUME up-and-down buttons
on the RC-89 remote control unit. Note that this adjustment
applies to all analogue audio outputs in use, both stereo and
multichannel.
The UDP-89 also permits level adjustment of the individual audio
channels of the analogue multitrack output, via the CH SELECT
and CH LEVEL up-and-down buttons on the RC-89. See “Audio
level and delay adjustment” on page 34 for full details.
Playing Audio Discs
The UDP-89 plays audio-only discs of most types, including
standard commercial Red Book audio CDs, audio CD-Rs and
audio CD-RWs, SACDs (Super Audio Compact Discs), DVD-A
discs (DVD-Audio) and data discs – either CD-R/RW or DVD-R/RW – containing audio files of various types. This section
initially describes the UDP-89’s operation with a standard audio
CD (CD-DA), with any differences being summarised separately.
Discs containing video programme material (including CD-Rs with
.avi or JPEG files) are covered in the next section, “Playing Video
Discs”.

and FREW
buttons
searches the disc – forwards or backwards respectively - at
twice the normal speed, with audio output muted. Further
presses redouble the search speed to a maximum of 16x
normal speed; a further press then reverts to normal play
speed.
Track Selection
In addition to the use of the NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons
described above, playback from the start of a specific track may
also be selected with the cursor keys and/or the direct access
keys on the remote control, or the front panel cursor keys, in
conjunction with the on-screen display.
Using the front panel buttons:
The UP/DOWN cursor keys
may be used to select the track
to be played. The “selected” track is indicated in the OSD track
list by a yellow border*, and it will start playing the selected
track from Stop or Play Modes when MARK/ENTER
is
pressed.
Using the remote control:
The front panel display indicates the number of tracks on the
CD (Tnn) and the total disc playing time (in the form h:mm:ss).
If a video monitor is connected, the CD tracklist screen is also
available as an OSD (On-Screen Display):

The next track to be played (1 in the case of a newly-inserted
disc) and the total number of tracks is confirmed, e.g.: 1/6.
The Disc Title will be shown as CDA (Compact Disc Audio) and
the tracks will be listed as Tracknn.
The UP, DOWN and MARK/ENTER buttons on the remote
control may be used in the manner described above, with the
difference that the PLAY button can be used to initiate playback
of the selected track from Play Mode.
The remote control’s Direct Access Keys will also select a
track by number, and can be used from Play, Resume and
Stop Modes. Tracks 1 to 9 can be selected by a single button
press, followed by MARK/ENTER. Tracks 10 and above can be
selected by pressing the two digits of the track number, i.e. to
select Track 15, press ‘1’ followed by ‘5’. Confirmation of track
selection is confirmed by the on-screen display first by showing
the “current track” field at the top of the display*, then after a
few seconds by the yellow border moving to the chosen track.
An incorrect button press may be corrected with the CLR button
while the track selection is displayed only on the current track
field.

DVD-A discs will normally offer a choice of disc areas, each
carrying the audio programme material encoded in a different
way. DVD-A discs are authored in a similar way to DVD-V discs,
with a Title Menu page requiring user input. (Disc navigation
for this type of disc is described in the next manual sub-section
“Playing discs with video content” on page 23.)
Although referred to as “audio” discs, DVD-A discs will frequently
include video material as well.

The Titles on a DVD-V will generally consist of several Chapters.
Although some commercial DVD-V discs consist of a single Title,
it is possible for a disc to contain more than one, each Title
being further subdivided into Chapters. Further, copyright and
other information may be recorded as one or more separate
Titles, but access to them is restricted, and thus the disc only
has a single Title from the user’s point of view. These matters
are determined at the disc authoring stage.
Note that on discs containing a single Title, MENU and TOP
MENU will generally both access the Root Menu for the single
Title.

PLAY
Normal Speed
Accessing the Disc Menus
In addition to the use of the NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons
described above, playback from the start of a specific chapter
can also be selected by using the remote control unit’s Direct
Access Keys. It will normally (though dependent on how the disc
is authored) be possible to jump to a specific chapter from the
Title Menu.
Using the Direct Access Keys
The remote control’s Direct Access Keys will select a chapter
by number, and can be used from Play, Resume and Stop
Modes. Chapters 1 to 9 can be selected by a single button
press, Chapters 10 and above can be selected by pressing
the ‘+10’ button first, once for 10-19, twice for 20-29, etc ,
e.g., to select Chapter 15, press ‘+10’ followed by ‘5’. It is not
necessary to press MARK/ENTER.
Using the Title Menu
Most DVDs’ Title Menus will include an option to select an
individual chapter for playback. The wording and style used is
under the control of the disc author and thus varies widely, but
the word ‘scene’ is normally used instead of ‘chapter’ in longformat programme such as feature films. (The list of available
scenes is often illustrated with the first frame of the chapter.)
The cursor keys
are used to select the chapter to be played.
The “selected” track will be indicated in the chapter list by some
form of “highlighting”, and it will start playing when either PLAY/
PAUSE
or MARK/ENTER
is pressed.
From PLAY mode, the NEXT
and PREVIOUS
buttons
will move the play location to the start of the next or previous
chapter respectively.

Time & Other Displays
The UDP-89’s front panel display shows the elapsed time of the
currently-selected Title (in the form h:mm:ss). “Zero” time will
generally be the start of Chapter 1.
Pressing the TOP MENU button with a VCD or SVCD loaded
activates Playback Control (PBC), which provides a system of
basic disc navigation. The front panel display will indicate
PBC On, and the disc will re-locate to a disc menu prepared at
the disc authoring stage listing the available tracks on the disc.
Track selection is made with the 0-9 numeric keys, and playback
commences from the start of the selected track.
Pressing DISPLAY on the RC-89 Remote Control Unit while
a DVD-V is loaded generates an on-screen text banner

Operation of the UDP-89 with VCDs and SVCDs is broadly similar
to playing audio CDs. There is no menu or other data available
on-screen. Disc content is arranged as Tracks, and the main
transport buttons, including STOP, PLAY, PAUSE, FFWD, FREW,
NEXT and PREVIOUS, function normally.
CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs containing
video files
4.755Mbps
Along with other information, the banner confirms current unit
settings for audio track and viewing angle selection and enabling
of subtitles. These settings are described in a later section of
the manual. As they are not confirmed elsewhere, it is always
useful to use the Display function when changing them. A
second press of DISPLAY cancels the banner.
Other video disc types
The UDP-89 permits replay of certain video file types recorded
on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM discs formatted to either ISO9660 or
UDF v1.02. Compatible formats include MPEG1 and MPEG 2
video files (*.mpg files), and MPEG4 ASP coded video files (*.avi
files) with embedded MPEG, PCM or Dolby Digital audio.
CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs containing
JPEG image files
The UDP-89 will replay JPEG picture files (*.jpg) recorded on CDROM or DVD-ROM discs and can display them in high-definition
– 720p or 1080i.
DVD-R and DVD-RW
As with audio CDs recorded in a computer, the UDP-89 will play
DVD-Video material prepared on recordable and rewriteable
blank DVDs in computers using DVD-Video authoring software.
Discs recorded in consumer and professional DVD recorders
are also compatible.
After loading, the OSD displays a list of *.jpg image files available
for viewing.
There are several types of recordable/rewriteable DVD media
in common use, and not all DVD drives can record to all types.
The UDP-89 is able to accept all types of disc currently in use;
these include:
• DVD-R
• DVD-RW
• DVD+R
• DVD+RW
Both standard 4.7GB and dual-layer 8.5GB versions of the
above media types are supported.
The UDP-89 will NOT play unfinalised discs.
Note: DVD-RAM discs are NOT supported.
The front panel and on-screen displays are as for commercial
DVD-V discs.
Video CDs and SuperVCDs
Video CD (VCD) is an older digital video format using CD-ROM
discs. MPEG1 video coding with Layer 2 stereo audio coding is
employed to record up to 80 minutes of programme material on
a 700MB disc. Playback of discs recorded to the White Book
VCD2.0 standard (1995) is supported by the UDP-89.
The later Super Video CD (SVCD) format uses the higher bitrate
MPEG2 coding system on the same media type to achieve
higher resolution video and improved audio (including additional
tracks). Playback of discs recorded to the SVCD standard set by
the China National Committee of Standards is supported by the
UDP-89.

Storing and Cueing to a Marker Point
Locating to the Marker point:
The UDP-89 has a “scratchpad” location memory, which can be
used to store a marker point in programme material “on-the-fly”.
The marker point can easily be recalled and located to at a later
time.
Press CUE to open the Cue pop-up window, and press MARK/
ENTER. The disc will immediately locate to the Cue point and
play from there (unless Auto-Pause Mode is enabled; see next
section). The pop-up window closes.
The feature is entered by
pressing the CUE button (either
or the
on the front panel
remote control unit) while a disc
is playing, which causes the
front panel display and the popup window below to be shown.
Note: The time loaded into the memory includes the track
number (in the case of CDs) as well as the Track Time, though
only the Track Time is displayed. The CUE feature may be
used to re-locate to a point within a different CD track to that
currently playing. In the case of DVDs, the overall disc time is
stored.
Clearing the memory:

• use of the Search function
• use of the Cue (Bookmark) function
Storing a Marker point:
Pressing MARK/ENTER
while the Cue memory is displayed
will store the playback location at that instant into the memory.
This is confirmed by the MARK flag in the front panel display.
The time saved into memory is displayed both on-screen and on
the front panel, see above. Note that the track/chapter number
is also displayed on the front panel with an alternating display.
Hint: If held in Pause Mode at the start of a track or chapter,
playback may restart more accurately if the ENTER button is
used instead of PLAY. If the GUI is being used, the cursor must
be positioned on the relevant track.
The current play point can only be stored if the memory is
empty. Pressing it when the memory already contains a valid
time will cause the disc to locate to that point (see next section).
Thus marking a point during audition and then subsequently
relocating back to it requires only two keystrokes.
A further press of the CUE button cancels the displays; the
contents of the memory remains saved as long as the disc
remains loaded.

Repeat 1
The UDP-89 Repeat functions allow the UDP-89 to be used for
continuous playback, with a user-defined section of programme
material being played in a loop until the function is cancelled.
The Repeat 1 function can be selected from any transport mode
(except Resume or Stop with DVDs and SACDs) by a single
press of REPEAT. The top line of the front panel display confirms
selection for a few seconds as shown:

(also on the remote) enables the
Repeat A-B function.
With discs generating an on-screen browser window, the
browser can be also used to enable Repeat; an additional
function, Repeat Folder, is available for discs such as CD-ROMs
containing MP3 files. (See “Selection of Repeat functions from
the OSD” on page 31)
With CDs (and other disc types generating an on-screen
broswer page), the Repeat 1 and Repeat All functions may also
be enabled via the on-screen display and the cursor keys, from
the front panel only if wished. It is not possible to enable the
Repeat functions with a DVD from the unit’s front panel.

the current Title). With CDs, Repeat All can be cancelled at any
time by pressing STOP. Note that when playing DVDs, pressing
STOP does not cancel Repeat unless it is pressed a second
time to cancel Resume Mode; alternatively, the function may be
cancelled by cycling through the options to Repeat Off.
The UDP-89 will continuously replay a segment of material
whose start and end points have been user-defined. Both start
and end points must be within the same track (or chapter); it is
not possible to define a loop across a track/chapter boundary.
Repeat A-B is enabled with the A-B button on the remote control
unit. The start and end points of the section to be repeated
are captured “on the fly”, with the unit in Play Mode. As the
programme material is playing, press the A-B button once at
the start of the section to be repeated. The display confirms the

Shuffle Mode
Music Intro Mode
Shuffle Mode allows the tracks on a CD or chapters on a DVD
to be played in a random order. The method of enabling Shuffle
Mode is different for the two disc types.
Music Intro is a useful method of identifying tracks on a CD-A or
a disc containing MP3 audio files. When selected, only the first
10 seconds of each track or file on the disc is played.
Shuffle Mode – DVDs
With DVDs, it is selected by pressing the RANDOM button on
the remote control unit while the disc is playing; selection is
confirmed by the SHUFFLE flag on the front panel display.
It is enabled in the same way described above for Shuffle Mode;
a second press of MARK/ENTER with the mode field highlighted
will select Music Intro. Confirmation of the mode is also given
in the front panel display, which displays the text Intro Scan for
approximately 2 seconds.
Music Intro may be combined with Repeat Mode if wished. To
cancel Music Intro Mode, set the mode parameter to Off.

When multichannel audio programme (e.g. 5.1 ‘surround’) is
selected, full multichannel audio is available from both sets of
analogue multichannel rear connectors (
&
on the rear
panel, see page 10.) The main L & R outputs (

the rear panel, see page 10) will generally carry an internallygenerated stereo downmix of the multichannel audio, or produce
a Lt/Rt matrix output for suitable for decoding in a matrix
surround decoder of a type such as Dolby Pro-Logic. With some
discs, the main outputs may be muted.
The format of the multi-channel downmix carried by the main
L & R stereo outputs (which includes all digital outputs – HDMI
and S/PDIF when not set to bitstream, and AES/EBU) is
determined by the surround speaker setting in the Audio section
of the SETUP menu. With both formats, the centre channel C is
mixed equally into the main left and right channels.

Multichannel bass management
Multichannel level trims
Practical surround sound loudspeaker systems frequently have
smaller units in the rear and centre positions, and these may
not offer an extended LF response compared with the main
left and right front speakers. Other systems may not include a
centre speaker at all, or no dedicated sub-woofer. The UDP-89
includes a set of user-selectable options for re-directing some
or the entire frequency spectrum in some channels to different
speakers, to ensure that all programme material in all channels
is reproduced in such systems.
It is also possible to adjust the levels of the individual channels of
the analogue multichannel (surround) outputs. This is typically
desirable when different models of speakers are being used in
the rear and/or centre positions from the main front L/R
speakers, and permits the differing sensitivities of the speakers
to be allowed for.
Multichannel level trim is
adjusted from the RC-89 remote
control unit. Pressing either of
the CH SELECT buttons allows
adjustment of the Front Left
channel, the front panel display
showing:
The various options are set in the Audio tab of the Setup menu.
See “Audio settings” on page 40 for more details. The table

Pink Noise calibration
The optimum setting is for the audio level from all the speakers
in a multichannel system-up to be the same. This can be difficult
to achieve with many types of programme material and to
facilitate adjustment the UDP-89 provides an internal pink noise
source to generate a known audio level, which can be applied to
each channel in turn. The listener can then adjust the audio level
in each channel so that the perceived sound level at the listening
position is equal for all speakers.
The noise source is enabled and routed as required via the
Audio tab of the Setup Menu. See page 40 for full details.
Exiting the menu will automatically turn the source off.
Multichannel delays
Depending on the size of the room, the acoustic path length
between the listening position and the centre and/or rear
speakers may be sufficiently different from that between the
listening position and the main front L/R speakers for sound
from multiple speakers to be heard at slightly different times.
The UDP-89 allows delays to be introduced into the main front
L/R channels to time-align them with the centre and/or rear
channels.
The delays are adjusted via the Audio tab of the Setup Menu.
Separate adjustment for the centre and rear channels is
provided. See page 40 for full details.
NTSC/PAL
The UDP-89 is able to play DVD Video discs recorded to either
NTSC or PAL TV System standards. Most modern monitors,
TVs, projectors, etc. are capable of resolving both NTSC and
PAL standard video signals.
The TV standard available at the composite and S-video outputs is determined in the Setup Menu, by the setting of the
TV System item in the Video submenu. See page 39 for full
details. The factory default setting is Auto; the output video
signal will follow the TV standard of the signal recorded on the
disc. This should be satisfactory with most modern display
devices.
The TV standards are summarised below. The two standards
also differ in their methods of encoding chroma information.

Progressive and interlaced scan
The UDP-89 supports both interlaced and progressive scan
standard definition (SD) video formats as well as certain high
definition (HD) formats.
Progressive scan is only available from the component YUV and
HDMI outputs. SD resolutions of 480p (NTSC) or 576p (PAL),
and HD resolutions of 720p and 1080i may be selected via the
HD Resolution item in the Video submenu. See page 39 for full
details.
Replay of 16:9 format video
Playback of both standard 4:3 aspect ratio and widescreen
16:9 material is supported by the UDP-89.
The Aspect Ratio item in the Video tab of the Setup menu
determines how widescreen (16:9) material should be
reproduced; this menu item should be set according to the type
of display device in use. See page 38 for full details of how to set
this.
Additionally, the UDP-89 will signal the presence of widescreen
material via WSS (WideScreen Switching) when playing PAL
video discs (or NTSC video discs converted to PAL). This system
utilises Line 23 of the PAL video signal, and the signalisation
will be recognised by most widescreen monitors. On receipt of
the widescreen “flag”, the external monitor should automatically
switch to widescreen mode.
UDP-89 User Manual Version 2.0
www.hhb.co.uk
35
Additional Features
Signalling of the widescreen format is also possible with
NTSC and 480p/576p progressive scan video signals. The
UDP-89 outputs the appropriate widescreen “flags”, however
not all display devices may be able to correctly interpret the
signalisation.
RGB-to-SCART connections
Display devices equipped with suitable SCART connectors
(so-called SCART 1 type) may be able to receive RGB component
video to produce a picture of significantly higher quality than
composite video. Check with the display device’s manual to
ensure that the SCART connector is suitably equipped.
HDMI formats
The rear panel HDMI connector carries both High Definition
(HD) digital video and multichannel digital audio, for connection
to suitable HD display devices. The HD video formats are also
available (with some restrictions) at the analogue component
video outputs. The audio may also be obtained independently of
the HDMI connector at the S/PDIF digital audio outputs.
The HDMI output will only be active if the Video out item on the
Video tab of the Setup menu is set to Progressive YUV or HD
YUV/HDMI. Selection of 480i & 576i video formats disables
the output.
This type of connection should be implemented instead of
composite video wherever possible. However note that it is also
necessary to connect the rear panel CVBS and RGB Switching
outputs. A SCART connector wired as per the diagram below
should work in most cases.

SCMS Compliance
b) Eject is Locked
The SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) was developed to
restrict the number of copies which could be made from a digital
audio recording via the digital domain. The system has been
incorporated into all consumer digital audio equipment for many
years. With commercially-produced CDs, it limits the number of
copies which can be made by using an S/PDIF interconnection
to one.
The UDP-89 is SCMS-compliant in playback; the SCMS bits
in the S/PDIF digital outputs are set according to the copy
protection status of the disc being played. SCMS does not apply
to the AES/EBU digital output.

Aspect Ratio — sets how video programme material recorded
in 16:9 widescreen format is reproduced. Aspect Ratio should
be set correctly for the type of monitor in use. The available
settings are:
• 4:3Letterbox: Anamorphic widescreen material is
displayed on a 4:3 screen with black bars at the top
and bottom. Use this setting if you have a conventional
4:3 monitor (or other display device) and prefer to view
widescreen material in letterbox format.
• 4:3Pan&Scan: Anamorphic widescreen material is
cropped at the sides and will pan left/right (according to
information on the disc) so as to occupy the full height of a
4:3 monitor. This mode needs to supported by the disc; if
it is not, the video will be displayed as 4:3 Letterbox.

Misc
Setup Menu
Some of the items in the Video and Audio submenus generate
a temporary confirmation message on the front panel display as
the settings are changed; this can be useful if no video monitor
is connected.
Note: Anamorphic compression is an optical technique to precompress wide pictures into a narrower frame, for example
16:9 material into a standard 720 pixel 4:3 picture format. The
picture is “squashed” in at the sides so that when it is stretched
across the wider 16:9 screen of a widescreen display, the
correct aspect ratio is restored.
Also note that non-widescreen material is not affected by the
Aspect ratio setting.

TV System — this should be set according to the prevailing
video standard in your territory. The options are:
• Auto — this is the factory default setting. With TV
System set to Auto, the video output follows the standard
recorded on the disc. This is the best setting if your
display device is able to auto-select between NTSC and
PAL formats. When no disc is playing, the standard used
is that of the last video disc or file played.
• NTSC — video outputs will be to the NTSC standard.
Select this setting if your display device is NTSC-only. Note
that PAL video discs will be converted to NTSC, but this
may cause a reduction in the quality of the displayed video.
If your display device can auto-select NTSC or PAL, Auto
will generally be a better setting for playing PAL discs.
• PAL — video outputs will be to the PAL standard. Select
this setting if your display device is PAL-only. Note that
NTSC video discs will be converted to PAL, but this may
cause a reduction in the quality of the displayed video. If
your display device can auto-select NTSC or PAL, Auto will
generally be a better setting for playing NTSC discs.
See also “NTSC/PAL” on page 35 for additional information
regarding NTSC/PAL compatibility with various disc types.
Video out — this setting determines the video format available
and the digital
at the rear panel Component video outputs
HDMI output
. The first three options are for Standard
Definition (SD) displays; select HD YUV/HDMI when using an
HD-capable display connected to the digital HDMI output or
analogue component outputs:
• RGB — this sets the analogue component outputs to RGB
format, at an interlaced resolution of 480i (NTSC) or 576i
(PAL). The HDMI output is off.
HD Resolution — This setting determines the video resolution of
and the component
HD video outputs at the HDMI connector
video connectors
, if available. This setting is only adjustable if
Video out is set to HD YUV/HDMI, otherwise HD Resolution is
set to AUTO HDMI. The options are:
• AUTO HDMI — This is the default setting; the video
resolution of the HDMI and component outputs is set
automatically to the “preferred” format of any HDMI display
connected to it, and no user interaction is required.
Note that this auto-mode may not be supported and the
resolution will default to 480p/576p. In this case, the
higher resolutions of 720p and 1080i may be manually
selected below.
• 480p/576p — This sets the HD outputs to progressive
scan versions of SD NTSC or PAL resolutions – 480p
(NTSC) or 576p (PAL).
• 720p

— sets to HD progressive resolution, 720 x 1280
• 1080i

— sets to HD interlaced resolution, 1080 x 1920
Note: Not all display devices will correctly display the 1080i
output from PAL discs (1080i/50) when connected to the
component outputs of the UDP-89. If HDMI is available, this
should be used instead.
Also note that the composite and S-video outputs are only active
at the SD 480/576 resolutions.
When the HD resolution is changed, additional pop-up dialogue
boxes will request confirmation that the change should take
place, as changing the resolution when an unsuitable display
device is connected will result in a scrambled image.
The front panel display also briefly confirms each new video
resolution as it is selected.
• Interlace YUV — this sets the analogue component
outputs to YUV format, at an interlaced resolution of 480i
(NTSC) or 576i (PAL). The HDMI output is off.
Brightness — allows adjustment of the overall picture brightness
in 16 increments
• Progressive YUV — this sets the analogue component
and HDMI outputs to YUV format, at a progressive
resolution of 480p (NTSC) or 576p (PAL).
Sharpness — allows adjustment of the picture sharpness in 16
increments
• HD YUV/HDMI — this sets the analogue component
and HDMI outputs to YUV format, at a High Definition
(HD) resolution of 720p or 1080i, as selected by the HD
Resolution setting (see next menu item). The progressive
SD formats of 480p and 576p are also repeated.
HD Jpeg mode — When this item is set to On, JPEG files can
be displayed in full HD resolution (either 720p or 1080i) on a
suitable HD monitor.
When the video output format is changed, additional pop-up
dialogue boxes will request confirmation that the change should
take place, as changing the format when an unsuitable display
device is connected will result in a scrambled image.
The video output format may also be changed with the HI-DEF
button on the RC-89 Remote Control Unit. See HD Resolution
for more information.
The front panel display also briefly confirms each new video
format as it is selected.

Audio settings
Refer to Multichannel bass management on page 34 and Audio
level and delay adjustment on page 34. The crossover frequency
of the bass management is 100Hz.
Bass management — When set to On, low frequencies below
100 Hz in the centre and rear channels (when set to Small) are
sent to the front channels. Setting this item to Off (the default)
cancels this filtering, and the centre and rear channels receive
the full frequency range.
Front speakers — The default setting is Large, which routes
the full frequency response in the front channels to the front
speakers as normal. Selecting Small re-routes the LF content
(<100 Hz) in these channels to the LFE channel (sub-woofer).
Note that it is not possible to select Small if there is no subwoofer in the system (see below), nor is it possible if Bass
management is selected Off.
Center speaker — The default setting is Large, which routes
the full frequency response in the centre channel to the centre
speaker. Selecting Small re-routes the LF content in this channel
(<100 Hz) to the front L & R speakers. Note that it is not
possible to select Small if Bass management is selected Off. A
third option, Off, should be selected if there is no centre speaker
in the system. In this case, information in the centre channel is
routed at equal level to the front left and right speakers, creating
a “phantom” centre image.
Subwoofer — The default setting is Present, which routes the
LFE channel to the sub-woofer speaker. If the system does not
have a sub-woofer, this item should be set to None, when the
content of the LFE channel is routed equally to the front L and R
channels.
Test Tones — This item activates the internal white noise
generator, which can be routed to each of six multichannel
outputs in turn to allow accurate balancing of the volume from
each speaker in the system. Default setting is Off; exiting this
menu item automatically selects Off.
Center delay — Setting this item to a value other than Off
inserts a finite delay in the centre channel. As the centre
speaker is the closest to the listening position, the delay timealigns the channel with the front L and R channels. Calibration is
in 0.3 m steps, from 0.3 m (1 ft.) to 1.7 m (5 ft.), this distance
representing the distance from the listener to the centre
speaker. Select the value closest to that applicable to your room.
• Bitstream — the S/PDIF and HDMI outputs carry the raw
digital data from the disc for external decoding. Refer to
the table in “Stereo and multi-channel audio” on page 32.
Night Mode — Setting Night Mode on applies dynamic range
compression to the analogue (and PCM downmix) of Dolby Digital
soundtracks, according to the metadata contained in the Dolby
Digital bitstream. This makes it easier to set a comfortable lowlevel, or night-time listening volume.
Down sampling — Downsampling should be enabled when
playing discs recorded with a sample rate higher than 48 kHz if
the equipment connected to the digital outputs (S/PDIF, HDMI
and AES/EBU) does not support these higher sample rates.
The table below summarises the sample rate changes available
at each digital output for various disc types with downsampling
turned On.

UDP-89 User Manual Version 2.0
Appendix 1 - Connector Pinouts
Electrical characteristics
Both inputs and outputs are internally opto-isolated. The inputs
are protected against over-voltages.
Inputs
The inputs simply require a short-to-ground for activation.
Outputs
The outputs are open-collector, and go low when activated.
Loads such as LEDs may be connected externally with a suitable
series resistor, and returned to the +ve terminal of an external
PSU. The maximum current deliverable by the opto-isolator’s
transistor is 50 mA. (The –ve side of the external voltage supply
should be referenced back to the UDP-89’s 0 v on pin 6.)

Appendix 2 - Firmware Updates
Appendix 2 - Firmware Updates
As a responsible manufacturer, HHB adopts a policy of
continuous product development. As with all software-based
products, it may be desirable from time to time to update the
firmware in your UDP-89 with a more recent version. You can
contact your HHB dealer or distributor, or visit the HHB website
at www.hhb.co.uk for details.
Firmware updates are downloadable from the HHB website,
or if you prefer, from your local dealer/distributor on a CD.
Alternatively, if you are uncertain about performing a firmware
update yourself, take your UDP-89 to your HHB dealer, who will
be happy to do it for you.
Performing a firmware update restores all menu settings to
their original factory defaults. If you are used to using your
UDP-89 for one particular type of work, it may be worthwhile
checking through the menus and noting the current settings so
that they can be easily restored after the update.
Software version checks
It may be useful to check which version of firmware is installed in
the UDP-89. This procedure can be carried out after a firmware
update to confirm that the update has been correctly loaded.
The checks below will only be performed if there is no disc in the
disc drawer – i.e., the front panel display must show No Disc.
• To check the version of the main CPU, enter the 4-digit
number 1234, using the remote control unit. The
firmware version is shown in the front panel display.
• To check the version of the separate MPEG processor,
enter the 3-digit number 164 using the remote control
unit. The version number is shown in the front panel
display.
Updating the firmware requires a PC or Mac fitted with a CD(or DVD-) writer drive, and a CD-writing software application.
We recommend you read through the instructions below before
performing an update for the first time.
To perform a firmware update, proceed as follows:
• Download the new firmware file from www.hhb.co.uk. Save
it to a suitable location.
• Using the CD burning application you have on your
computer (such as Roxio, Nero etc.), create a CD
containing the update files BUILD.IMG and UPDATE.VER.
The CD must be a data CD, not an audio CD, and the
update files must be the only ones on the CD.
• Turn on the UDP-89, put the burnt update disc into the
drive and close the tray. After the disc has been read, a
dialogue screen will be displayed asking for confirmation to
update the firmware. Select START using the cursor and
MARK/ENTER keys.
• The firmware update will now proceed automatically. After
a short while, the disc will eject. Remove the disc from the
tray and then leave the unit alone. Do not close the disc
drawer.
• During the update procedure, it is essential that the power
supply to the CDR-882 is not interrupted. Should this
occur, the unit will be rendered unusable and will require
factory re-initialisation.
• The UDP-89 will reboot automatically once the update
procedure is complete. This may take up to 5 minutes.
• If the UDP-89 has not rebooted automatically after 15
minutes or so, please re-power manually using the front
panel power switch.
