Introduction

Disc structure
(For DVD VIDEO)
A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of "titles" and each title may be divided into some "chapters". For example, if a DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO KARAOKE disc, each song usually has its own title number and does not have chapters. Title 1 Title 2

Care and handling of discs
How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the player to malfunction.

· 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.

About SCAN MODE
To display video on the television (monitor) screen, the conventional scanning method is called "Interlaced scan". With this method, only half of the horizontal lines are displayed at a time. So two fields complete a single picture (frame); i.e., the first field, containing all the odd-numbered lines, is displayed followed by the second field, containing all the even-numbered lines. On the other hand, the Progressive scan system scans all horizontal lines at a time, so you can double the number of pictures compared with the interlaced scan, resulting flicker-free, high-density picture. Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO discs can be classified into two types; film source and video source (note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source and video source). Film sources are recorded as 24frame-per-second information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-frame-per-second (60-field-per-second interlaced) information. When the unit plays back a film source material, uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using the original information. When a video source material is played back, the unit interleaves lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the progressive signal.

Getting started

To make the Progressive scan mode selection active from the remote control unit
The unit supports the Progressive scan system as well as the conventional Interlace scan system. If your television or monitor supports the progressive video input, you can enjoy a high quality picture by making the Progressive scan mode active. If you want to select the scan mode between the interlace and progressive modes depending on the 480p source condition or when connecting more than one television, you can select the mode from the remote REMOTE 480i control unit. To do this, set the scan mode selector on the rear panel to "REMOTE" (See page 7). ¶ When the unit is turned on, and the scan mode selector on the rear panel is set to "REMOTE"

Press and hold down the VFP - PROGRESSIVE SCAN button for a few seconds.
The scan mode switches between the Progressive scan and Interlace scan modes. · When the scan mode is set to the progressive mode, the PROGRESSIVE indicator on the front panel is lit. Depending on the "PROGRESSIVE MODE" setting on the "PICTURE" preference display and whether the current DVD VIDEO disc is film-source or video-source, the color of the indicator differs, as shown in the table below.

To connect to digital audio device
You can enhance the sound quality by connecting either of the unit's DIGITAL OUT jacks to the digital input of an amplifier, MD, etc. by using an optical or a coaxal digital cable (optional). The digital audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If you connect the unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder by using an optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound. When you make digital connection, we recommend also to make the analog connection, because, depending on discs, no signal may be output from the DIGITAL OUT. When using the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack, remove the protection cap. Do not lose the removed cap. When the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack is not used, fix the protection cap into the jack. The unit
