COMPONENT IN

Connect "Y" to "Y", "PB" to "PB"(CB), "PR" to "PR"(CR) correctly. The unit supports the Progressive scan system(480p) as well as the conventional Interlace scan system(480i). If your television or monitor equipped with component jacks supports the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by making the Progressive scan mode active. If your television equipped with component jacks does not support the progressive scan mode Set the Scan mode selector to "480i". If your television equipped with component jacks supports the progressive scan mode Set the Scan mode selector to "480p". If you want to select the scan mode between the interlace and progressive modes (depending on the source condition, or when connecting more than one television etc.) You can select the mode from the remote control unit. To do this, set the scan mode selector to "REMOTE". (See "To make the Progressive scan mode selection active from the remote control unit" on page 8 for details about how to select the scan mode from the remote control unit when the scan mode selector is set to "REMOTE".) NOTES
When the scan mode is set to the progressive mode, the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is lit. The color of the indicator differs depending on the "PROGRESSIVE MODE" setting on the "PICTURE" preference display and the status of the unit (see pages 8 and 49.) When connecting to a TV using the VIDEO or S-VIDEO jack, make sure that the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is not lit. If it is lit, the VIDEO and S-VIDEO outputs do not feed the correct signals. To turn off the PROGRESSIVE indicator, set the scan mode selector on the rear panel to "480i". Or, while setting the scan mode selector to "REMOTE", make the Progressive scan mode inactive by following the procedure described on page 8. When the component video input jacks of the TV is of the BNC type, use an adapter to convert a pin jack to a BNC jack (optional). Make "ANALOG DOWN MIX" in the "AUDIO" preferences to "STEREO" (see page 51). 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. To improve audio sound quality, connect the AUDIO OUT jacks to your separate audio equipment. (See the following pages.) If your TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV COMPU LINK function. See "AV COMPU LINK remote control system" on page 58 for details.

To connect the power cord
When all the audio/video connections have been made, insert the smaller plug of the supplied AC power cord to the 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 in red. NOTE (only for PX model)
Use the supplied AC power plug adaptor when inserting the larger plug to the wall outlet.

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 alter, twist or pull the power cord, or put anything heavy on it, which may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents. To prevent any accidents or damage caused by an unsuitable AC power cord, only use the supplied power cord. If the cord is damaged, contact a dealer and get another power cord.

The unit does not support "packet write" discs. If the disc is recorded with multiple sessions, the unit supports up to five sessions. Some disc may not be played back, or take some time to open the whole picture because of the disc characteristics or recording condition. You cannot playback files in the desired (programmed) or random order. The screen saver function is activated while same picture is displayed for more than 5 minutes except during slide show playback (See page 44.) The unit only can play back files with any of the following file extensions; ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".JPG", ".JPEG" and any uppercase and lowercase combination (such as ".Jpg"). If a JPEG file name includes any 2-byte character, the unit may not show the file name correctly. When a picture resolution is more than "640 x 480", it takes some time to open the whole picture. Carry out an operation after opening the whole picture.The unit does not accept any operation (Stopping the unit, zooming in/out a picture etc.) while opening the picture. Time required for reading the disc contents differs with discs, depending on the numbers of Groups (folders) and files recorded, etc. If you play back a non-baseline JPEG file: The unit cannot display the still picture of the file. (the TV screen appears only in black.) In this case, other operations (such as stopping playback, selecting a file,etc.) are possible but may take a long time. While a JPEG disc is loaded, you cannot bring up any preference display (See page 47.)
Make sure that the TV - DVD switch on the remote control unit is set to "DVD" when using the 5//2/3, numeric buttons for controlling the unit.

About JPEG disc

On an JPEG disc, each material (still picture) is recorded on a file. Files may be grouped into a folder by category, etc. In addition, a folder can be a member of another folder, creating hierarchical folder layers. If you are familiar with a personal computer, you may easily understand the hierarchical file/folder construction of JPEG discs. This unit simplifies the hierarchical construction of a disc and manages folders by "Groups" in the following manners. A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a Group. A folders' folder which does not manage any file directly is ignored. Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into "Group 1". The unit recognizes up to 150 files per Group, and up to 99 Groups per disc. It ignores those exceeding the maximum numbers and cannot play back them. If there is any type of files other than JPEG files in a folder. those files are also counted down from the total number of 150.

Available : When you set the parental level strictly, some discs may not be played back at all. When you insert such a disc and try to play it, the following Parental Lock on-screen display appears on the TV screen, asking you whether you want the Parental Lock to be temporarily released or not.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question

Can I play back DVD VIDEO and Video CD purchased abroad?

Answer

You can play back the DVD VIDEO discs with the Region Code (local code) containing 'ALL' or '1' recorded in the NTSC or PAL system (PAL disc signals are reproduced by converting to the NTSC system). You can also play back the Video CD discs recorded in the NTSC system. Please check the information on each disc jacket. The Region code indicates the conformity of the disc to the standards. Any DVD VIDEO not conforming to the standards cannot be played back. No, you cannot play back that disc. Yes, you can play back the disc because Dolby Digital EX is compatible with Dolby Digital. However, to get the maximum performance of Dolby Digital EX, we recommend to connect the DIGITAL OUT jack to a decoder or amplifier/receiver with built-in decoder that supports Dolby Digital EX. In this case, set "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" on the "AUDIO" preference display to "STREAM/PCM". Though you cannot enjoy audio using the analog audio outputs (AUDIO OUT), you can enjoy DTS ES audio by connecting the DIGITAL OUT jack to a decoder or amplifier/receiver with built-in decoder that supports DTS ES. In this case, set "DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT" on the "AUDIO" preference display to "STREAM/PCM". Yes you can. "THX" is a name of the original standard for high quality picture/audio recording and playback established by Lucasfilm Ltd. A disc labeled "THX" is certified that it passed this standard. The disc is of the data CD format, therefore, the unit can play back only files of the MP3 format. Both are surround sound standards developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc. in the U.S.A. Dolby Surround records 2-channel surround audio information are recorded onto the analog stereo (left and right) channels together with front stereo audio information. When played back, the surround signals are separated by a Dolby Surround or Dolby Pro Logic decoder. Dolby Digital digitally encodes and records up to six channel information for left, right, center, rear left, rear right and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect for Sub-woofer etc.). When played back, a Dolby Digital decoder decodes data and outputs signals separately. Generally, Dolby Digital sounds better. It is a block noise specific to a motion picture recorded in digital, and is not a malfunction of the unit. The operation of this unit may occasionally be unacceptable due to the intention of the disc contents creator and/or structural restrictions. Most of all DVD VIDEO discs are copy-protected so that you cannot record DVD VIDEO data onto any video tape. No, you cannot.
