One of the Best DVD-Player Buys in the History of DVD
An extraordinary entertainment machine! This solid, feature-packed, entry-level single DVD player grew out of Onkyos belief that movie and music lovers shouldnt have to spend a bundle to enjoy high-end performance. Along with incorporating many of the same components and circuit layout as its more expensive siblings, the DV-S555 builds on its forebears strengths to deliver picture precision and sound realism unknown at this price. It also offers an outstanding feature package rare for this class of DVD player, including MP3 playback, and is sonically matched to Onkyos digital surround TX-DS696, TX-DS595 and TX-DS494 receivers. Ideal for home-theater buffs who favor performance over frills.
96 kHz/48 kHz Selectable Digital Output While most DVD players downconvert 96/24 audio to 48 kHz and 20 bits for their digital outputs, the DV-S555 is one of the few mainstream DVD players that can provide a true 96 kHz/24-bit PCM digital audio bitstream through either its digital coaxial or optical TosLink connection, making it ideally suited to Onkyos TX-DS696, TX-DS595 and TX-DS494 receiverswhich, unlike older receivers, accept 96 kHz bitstreams. If you select the 48 kHz output in the set-up menu, then any DVD audio track containing a 96 kHz signal will be downconverted to 48 kHz by the DV-S555 for backwards compatibility with older components. Exclusive Direct Digital Path Unlike other DVD players that use PC-board copper traces to transfer the digital audio signal, the DV-S555 employs a high-purity, heavy-gauge, shielded cable to directly output the 96 kHz/24-bit digital bitstream straight from the disc to the back panel. The result is a noise-free digital audio signal that is less susceptible to flux. Outstanding Disc Compatibility While all DVD players can play CDs, the DV-S555 can also play both CD-Rs (write-once) and CD-RWs (rewritable), as well as CDs that hold MP3-coded files. MP3 Playback Instead of using your small computer speakers, you can play over your hometheater system the MP3 files you downloaded from the Internet and other sourcesup to 10 hours or more of music on a single disc, depending on the bit rate of the MP3 files. The DV-S555 will display the MP3 filenames on your TV screen, and you can program a playlist of up to 24 songs from the same disc.
State of the Art 192 kHz/24-Bit Burr Brown DAC This top-quality digital-to-analog converter utilizes Burr-Browns enhanced multi-level delta-sigma architecture, which employs 4th-order noise shaping and 8-level amplitude quantization to achieve excellent dynamic performance and improved tolerance to clock jitter. Passes PLUGE Signals Even small black-level errors will subtly deteriorate picture quality. But if a correct setting is achieved, there will be no adverse effects while viewing because there is no below-black video on normal DVDs. Thats why the DV-S555 can pass PLUGE (Picture Line Up Generation Equipment) signals, a widely used test pattern that makes it easy to accurately calibrate the black-level of a monitor to the DVD player. Quick-Start DVD Play The precision transport system, designed to provide unusually swift response, loads a DVD and displays the DVDs menu faster than virtually any other player available today. Subwoofer Output Extremely rare on a DVD playerits here so even those without a stereo system can hookup a powered subwoofer and enjoy dynamic movie sound from just their TV.

Remote control sensor

2 Insert the two R6 (size AA) batteries. Be sure to match the + and ends of the batteries with the diagram inside the battery compartment.
Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or inverted fluorescent light which can prevent proper operation of the remote controller. Using another remote controller of the same type in the same room or using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays may cause operational interference. Do not put any object such as a book on the remote controller. The buttons of the remote controller may be pressed by mistake and drain the batteries. Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass. Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote controller operation. If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the remote control sensor, the remote controller will not operate.
3 Close the battery compartment cover.
Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of batteries. To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote controller is not to be used for a long time. Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from corrosion. If the remote controller does not operate smoothly, replace both batteries at the same time. The life of the batteries supplied is about six months but this will vary depending on usage.
