Before operation
Care and handling of discs
If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, playback
sound and picture may be deteriorated. Take proper
precautions when handling discs.
Handling
• Do not touch the surface of the disc.
• Do not damage, stick paper to, or use any adhesive on
either the label side or playback side.
Storing discs
• Keep discs in their cases. If discs are piled on top of
one another without their protective cases, they can be
damaged.
• Do not put discs in a location where they may be
exposed to direct sunlight, or where the humidity or
temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in a car!
Cleaning discs
• Wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center
outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth
moistened with water.
• Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-
static agents.

NOTES
Connections
• In this connection, set the VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR
to “COMP./RGB.”
• 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.
Before using the unit, connect the unit to a TV and/or
amplifier.
Before making connections
• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other
connections have been made.
B To connect to a TV with the SCART
connector
You can enjoy using the unit by simply connecting it to
your television set with a 21-pin SCART cable.
• Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the
video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of
the unit to a TV via a VCR may cause a monitor
problem when playing back a copy-protected disc.
You may also have a monitor problem when
connecting the unit to an integrated TV/Video
system.

NOTE
Sound recorded on DTS-encoded DVD VIDEO or DTS-
encoded Audio CD discs are not output from the analog
(AUDIO OUT LEFT/RIGHT) jacks of the unit.
Connecting to a digital audio device
You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting
the unit’s DIGITAL OUT (either OPTICAL or COAXIAL)
jack to a digital input of an amplifier, etc., using an optical
or coaxial digital cable. The digital audio signal on a disc
will be transferred directly from the unit. If the connected
digital audio equipment is a Dolby Digital or DTS
decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder, you can
enjoy high-quality surround sound.
NOTES
• Connect the unit and the digital audio device by using
either an optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable.
• It is not recommended to use the digital jacks for
dubbing. When recording the sounds (DVD VIDEO,
SVCD, Video CD or Audio CD) played back on the unit,
record them through the analog jacks.
• Depending on the disc, no signal may be output from
the DIGITAL OUT. Make an analog connection in this
case.
• Set [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] in the [AUDIO]
preference display correctly according to the
connected digital audio equipment. If setting made
for [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] is incorrect, loud
noise may be generated causing damage to the
speakers (see page 34).

Appendix D: Glossary
Aspect ratio
Linear PCM audio
A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture
in a TV. It is the width of the picture relative to the height.
A conventional TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.
PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is
the usual method for digitally encoding audio without
compression, and is used for the audio tracks on DVD
VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.
Bitstream
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-
MP3
channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands
for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve
a data reduction of about 1:10.
Chapter/title
Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest
division on DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title
and similar to a track for Video CD or Audio CD.
MPEG
A family of Standards for compressing audio-visual
information. “MPEG” standards include MPEG-1,
MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Video CD and MP3 are based on
MPEG-1, while DVD is based on MPEG-2. MPEG stands
for Moving Picture coding Experts Group.
Dolby Digital (AC3)
A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left
rear, right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel,
for use with a sub-woofer) channels. All processing is
done in the digital domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs
contain six (5.1) channels of information.
MPEG Multichannel
This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format
recorded on the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further
expansion of the 5.1 channel audio makes it easy for you
to reproduce the movie theater experience in your own
home.
Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic
Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear
audio in two channels in a way that allows a decoder to
recover the original four channels for playback. Because
the audio is recorded in two channels, it can be played
back naturally by a two-channel stereo system.
Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in
decoder-side processing (increasing the level of specific
channels and lowering the level of silent channels) for
greater spatial perspective, and adds a center speaker
used primarily for dialog. The result is enhanced channel
separation.
NTSC (National television system committee)
A black and white and color television system format
used in the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)
A color television system format used extensively in
Western Europe.
PBC
PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of
controlling disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able
to interact with the disc through menus.
Down-mix
