The 96 kHz PCM Out setting is set to 96 kHz. The Digital Out setting is set to Off. The wrong input source is selected on your TV, hi- amp, or AV receiver. The audio cable is not connected properly. The TV, hi- amp, or AV receiver connected to the DV-SP303/DV-SP303Es audio outputs is either not on or its volume is turned down. A DV-SP303/DV-SP303E Digital Audio Out setting is set incorrectly. Playback is paused. The DVD-Video disc or CD uses the DTS audio format and you are using the analog outputs. The picture appears stretched or the wrong shape? DVD Player Audio CD playback skips or jumps or is noisy? An audio CD is loaded but the DV-SP303/DVSP303E displays NO DISC? The rst track doesnt play? Locating a specic point takes longer than usual? Playback starts in the middle of a track? Some sections of a track are skipped? Playback stops in the middle of a track? The DV-SP303/DVSP303E displays the wrong messages? MP3 les without a.mp3 or.MP3 lename extension are not recognized. The MP3 disc contains over 299 folders and 648 folders and les combined. Use the correct lename extension (page 8). The DV-SP303/DV-SP303E recognizes only the rst 299 folders and 648 folders and les combined. Folders in excess of this arent recognized and cannot be played (page 8). The DV-SP303/DV-SP303E doesnt fully support multisession discs. Only les in the rst session can be played (page 8). The loaded audio CD uses copy control. Copy-controlled CDs are special discs that dont conform to the audio CD standard and, therefore, may not work properly with the DV-SP303/DVSP303E. Change the 96 kHz PCM Out setting to 96 kHz > 48 kHz, or use analog connections (page 41). Change the Digital Out setting to On (page 41). On your TV, hi- amp, or AV receiver, select the input to which the DV-SP303/DV-SP303E is connected. Check the audio cable and correct as necessary (page 21). Turn on the TV, hi- amp, or AV receiver and set its volume as appropriate. Check the Digital Audio Out settings and correct as necessary (page 41). Resume playback (page 26). DTS audio is only output by the digital outputs. To play DTS material you need to connect one of the DV-SP303/DV-SP303Es digital outputs to a digital input on a hi- amp or AV receiver that has a DTS decoder built-in (page 21). Set the TV Screen setting to match the aspect ratio of your TV (page 41).

Breaking All the Stereotypes of Entry-Level Playback
In the ever competitive entry-level home theater market, you will find a vast divide between playback components that are barely functional with those that perform well with higher grade systems. Take a good look at Onkyos DV-SP303 DVD/CD/MP3 player, and youll see just what is possible by focusing on simple yet effective video-audio signal processing. The DV-SP303s strength lies not only in supporting DVD video playback, but also both CD audio and digital file music playback capability, as well as offering the advantage of viewing your digital photos. Designed to be admired as well as to perform, the DV-SP303 strikes the balance between economy and better home theater standards.
Multiformat Playback Capabilities Unseen at the Entry Level At the entry-level, the market is flooded with DVD players that offer very little except decidedly average playback ability. The DV-SP303 not only offers quality DVD video playback, it also gives you a range of other options including DVD-R and DVD-RW recorded in DivX or Video CD format. Besides your standard audio CDs, the DV-SP303 will also play MP3 and WMA files burnt to CD-R and CD-RW (up to 10 hours or more on a single disc depending on the bit rate). The DV-SP303 will show your digital music file names on your TV display, and it will let you program a playlist of up to 24 songs from the same disc. Also, you can view your digital photos encoded in JPEG or EXIF2.2 (burnt to CD-R/ CD-RW) in the enlarged frame of your TV display. DivX Enables Playback of Over 15,000 Online Video Titles DivX is the worlds most popular video compression technology. This software compresses video from virtually any source to a size where it can be transferred over the internet without any reduction in visual quality. With this technology its possible to compress a VHS tape down to 1 % of its original size or a DVD down to 10 % of its original size. With the invent of video-on-demand systems over the internet, you are able to take a DivX movie created on your computer, pop it into the DivX certified DV-SP303, and enjoy it on the larger screen and higher resolution of your TV.
Progressive Scan with 54 MHz/10-Bit Digital-to-Analog Processing Progressive scan capabilitythe ability to produce video in complete frames with no motion artifacts, a scan-line-free image, vividly clear color and incredibly sharp detailis no longer uncommon at the entry level. Even though the latest displays and TVs have built-in deinterlacers or line doublers that take your video source into the progressive realm, the downside is that they have to digitize the video signal resulting in the loss of picture resolution. With the DV-SP303s 54 MHz/10-bit video DAC processingoperating at twice the speed of 27 MHz systemsyoure looking at a player that will accurately deinterlace the signal in the digital domain rather than sending an analog signal to the display. Space-Saving Design and Focus on Usability The DV-SP303s design will give a stylish presence to any home theater system. With a height of only 6.1 cm, the player will neatly combine with other components or distinctively stand alone.

Through your remote control, youll find the extensive use of onscreen displaysfrom your initial settings to playing your DivX, MP3, WMA and JPEG filesmakes the DV-SP303 an intuitive and easily operable player.
Digital-to-Analog Converters for Superior Video and Audio Processing While many entry-level players lack the quality parts for signal processing, the DV-SP303 incorporates a 192 kHz/24-bit DAC for audio and a 54 MHz/ 10-bit DAC for video. The 192 kHz/24-bit DAC utilizes enhanced delta-sigma architecture, with 4th-order noise shaping and 8-level amplitude quantization, to achieve excellent dynamic performance. The 54 MHz/10-bit video DAC has a built-in 4:4:4 oversampling filter to ensure a loss-free signal transfer and an extended picture resolution of 540 linesso youll enjoy an image that is consistently artifact-free, rich in color, detail & purity, and true to the master.
