Precautions  
1. Region Numbers  
For British models  
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the  
power supply cord of this unit should be performed  
only by qualified service personnel.  
The DVD standard uses region numbers to control  
how discs can be played around the world, the  
world being divided into six regions. This unit will  
only play DVD discs that match its region number,  
1
which can be found on its rear panel (e.g.,  
).  
IMPORTANT  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accor-  
dance with the following code:  
2. About this Manual  
This manual explains how to use all of this unit’s  
functions. Although the DVD standard offers many  
special features, not all discs use them all, so  
depending on the disc being played, this unit may  
not respond to certain functions. See the disc’s  
sleeve notes for supported features.  
When you attempt to use a DVD feature  
that is not available, this logo may appear  
onscreen, indicating that the feature is not  
supported by the current disc or this unit.  
Blue:  
Neutral  
Brown: Live  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this  
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured  
markings identifying the terminals in your plug,  
proceed as follows:  
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected  
to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or  
coloured black.  
The wire which is coloured brown must be con-  
nected to the terminal which is marked with the let-  
ter L or coloured red.  
3. Recording Copyright  
Unless it’s for personal use only, recording copy-  
righted material is illegal without the permission of  
the copyright holder.  
IMPORTANT  
4. Power  
The plug is fitted with an appropriate fuse. If the  
fuse needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse  
must approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362 and  
have the same ampere rating as that indicated on  
the plug. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI  
mark on the body of the fuse.  
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUIT-  
ABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR  
HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE  
REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND  
DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER  
OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE  
CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13  
AMPERE SOCKET.  
WARNING  
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE  
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-  
TION CAREFULLY.  
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.  
Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the  
voltage requirements printed on this unit’s rear  
panel (e.g., AC 230–240 V, 50 Hz).  
Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY  
does not fully shutdown the DV-S155X. If you do  
not intend to use the DV-S155X for an extended  
period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.  
5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands  
Never handle this unit or its power cord while your  
hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid  
gets inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo  
dealer.  
If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

•
Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its  
side or on a sloping surface, because it may cause  
a malfunction.  
If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR,  
the picture and sound quality may be affected. If  
this occurs, move this unit away from the TV,  
radio, or VCR.  
•
Moisture condensation can occur in the follow-  
ing situations:  
— The unit is moved from a cold place to a  
warm place.  
— A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air  
conditioner is hitting the unit.  
— In the summer, when this unit is moved from  
an air conditioned room to a hot and humid  
place.  
— The unit is used in a humid place.  
Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility  
of moisture condensation occurring. Doing so  
may damage your discs and certain parts inside  
this unit.  
If condensation does occur, remove all discs and  
leave this unit turned on for two to three hours.  
By this time, the unit will have warmed up and  
any condensation will have evaporated. To  
reduce the risk of condensation, keep this unit  
connected to a wall outlet.  
•
7. Care  
Occasionally, you should dust this unit all over  
with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft  
cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild deter-  
gent and water. Dry the unit immediately after-  
wards with a clean cloth. Do not use abrasive  
cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical sol-  
vents, because they may damage the finish or  
remove the panel lettering.  
•
8. Handling Notes  
•
If you need to transport this unit, use the original  
packaging to pack it how it was when you origi-  
nally bought it.  
•
Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect sprays,  
near this unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic items  
on this unit for a long time, because they may  
leave marks on the case.  
This unit contains a semiconductor laser system  
and is classified as a “CLASS 1 LASER PROD-  
UCT”. So, to use this model properly, read this  
Instruction Manual carefully. In case of any trou-  
ble, please contact the store where you purchased  
the unit.

•
•
This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm  
after prolonged use. This is normal.  
When you’ve finished using this unit, remove all  
discs and turn off the power.  
If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may  
not work properly the next time you turn it on, so  
be sure to use it occasionally.

DEFEATED. DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM.  
9.To Obtain a Clear Picture  
This unit is a high-tech, precision device. If the lens  
on the optical pickup, or the disc drive mechanism  
becomes dirty or worn, the picture quality may be  
affected. To maintain the best picture quality, we  
recommend regular inspection and maintenance  
(cleaning or worn part replacement) every 1,000  
hours of use depending on the operating environ-  
ment. Contact your Onkyo dealer for details.  
CAUTION:  
THIS PRODUCT UTILIZES A LASER. USE OF  
CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFOR-  
MANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN  
THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN  
HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.  
10. Moisture Condensation  
Moisture condensation may damage this unit.  
Read the following carefully:  
The label on the right is  
applied on the rear panel.  
When you take a glass containing a cold drink out-  
side on a summer’s day, drops of water, called con-  
densation, form on the outside of the glass.  
Similarly, moisture may condense on the lens of  
the optical pickup, one of the most important parts  
inside this unit.  
1. This unit is a CLASS 1  
LASER PRODUCT  
and employs a laser inside the cabinet.

Be sure to match the + and – ends of the batteries with to diagram inside the battery  
compartment.  
3 Attach the battery cover.  
• Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of batteries.  
• To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the remote controller  
for a long time.  
• Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from corrosion. If the remote con-  
troller does not operate smoothly, replace both batteries at the same time.  
• The batteries should last for about six months, although this will vary with usage.

Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor.  
• 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 that 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, which drains 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 an obstacle between the remote controller and the remote control sensor, the  
remote controller will not operate.

Connections  
Before Making Any Connections  
• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.  
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all audio and video  
connections.  
Optical Digital Inputs  
The DV-S155X’s optical digital inputs have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug  
is inserted and close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way.  
Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and remov-  
ing.  
RCA AV Connection Color Coding  
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to  
connect right-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use white plugs to con-  
nect left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to con-  
nect composite video inputs and outputs.

• To prevent interference, keep audio and video connection cables away  
from power cords and speaker cables.

Connecting your television  
Here’s how to connect the DV-S155X to your television so you can view DVD and other  
images. The connection method depends on the type of connector you use. Depending on the  
connectors that your television has, connect either the component jacks, the S-video jack, or the  
composite jack.  
■ If your television has component video input jacks  
Use commercially-available component video connection cables to connect the DV-S155X’s  
component video output jacks to the component video inputs of your television.

To switch the video output type  
If your television supports progressive-scan video, you can use the PROGRESSIVE button on  
the DV-S155X or on the remote to switch the video output type. Do this while playback is  
stopped.  
Progressive (NTSC only):  
This is the higher-quality mode that produces a sharper image. Choose this if you’ve connected  
a television that supports progressive input. The “PROGRESSIVE” indicator in the display area  
will light.  
Interlaced (default setting):  
Choose this if you’ve connected a television that does not support progressive video input.  
Note  
• If you choose Progressive when the DV-S155X is connected to a television that doesn’t sup-  
port progressive input, the image will not be output correctly. Press the remote’s PROGRES-  
SIVE button to turn off progressive mode.  
• The image may be garbled when you switch between progressive and interlaced modes.  
Regarding the DV-S155X’s compatibility with progressive-scan televisions  
At present, some progressive-scan televisions are not completely compatible with the  
DV-S155X, and can produce garbled images. If you experience problems when using progres-  
sive playback, turn off progressive mode on the DV-S155X and use the progressive function  
provided on your television.

Connecting your amp  
• Refer to the Instruction Manual of your amp as well as the instructions given here.  
• Before you make connections, turn off the power of all the equipment you’re going to con-  
nect, and disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets. Don’t plug in the DV-S155X’s

Note  
Since the DV-S155X contains components that are vulnerable to heat, don’t place it on top of an  
amp or other source of heat. Doing so can cause malfunctions.

This allows you to enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS audio.  
2Connect the audio inputs of your television  
■ Connecting the PR-155X  
Use an optical cable to connect the DV-S155X’s AUDIO OUTPUT DIGITAL OPTICAL jack  
to the optical digital input jack of your amp.  
Use the included audio connection cable to connect the DV-S155X’s AUDIO OUTPUT ANA-  
LOG jacks to the audio input jacks of your amp.  
Tip  
You can enjoy 5.1 ch playback with DVD video simply by connecting the digital jack. However  
you will need to make the analog connections as well if you want to perform analog recording  
from the DV-S155X onto an MD recorder or other device connected to the amp, or in order to  
enable system operation with an Onkyo-manufactured amp.

■ PAL Output Setting  
With this setting you can specify how the DV-S155X outputs video signals when playing NTSC  
format discs.  
Auto (default):  
Use this option if your TV or projector supports PAL  
and NTSC. When you play a PAL disc, the video out-  
put will be PAL. When you play an NTSC disc, it’ll  
be NTSC. The DV-S155X does not convert the for-  
mat.  
PAL:  
Use this option if your TV doesn’t support NTSC  
playback, or the picture is distorted when watching  
NTSC discs. The DV-S155X will convert NTSC for-  
mat video to a PAL-compatible format known as Mod  
PAL or 60 Hz PAL.  
Note  
This setting can be changed only when playback is stopped.  
Audio Settings  
■ Digital Out/Digital1  
■ Digital Out/Digital2  
You’ll need to perform this procedure if you’ve connected the DV-S155X to an amp that does  
not support digital signals, or to an MD recorder. The signal you specify for Digital Out/  
Digital1 will be output from the DIGITAL OPTICAL jack. The signal you specify for Digital  
Out/Digital2 will be output from the DIGITAL COAXIAL jack.  
• Dolby Digital output  
Dolby Digital:  
Choose this setting if you’ve connected the  
DV-S155X to an AV amp or decoder that sup-  
ports Dolby Digital. (This is the default setting.)  
Dolby Digital > PCM:  
Dolby Digital signals will be converted to linear  
PCM signals for output. Choose this setting if  
you’ve connected the DV-S155X to an AV amp  
that doesn’t support Dolby Digital.  
Tip  
If you’ve connected the DV-S155X to an MD recorder, choosing the “Dolby Digital > PCM” setting for the  
digital jack (Digital 1 or 2) to which the recorder is connected will allow you to convert the Dolby Digital  
signal into PCM and record it on your MD recorder.  
• MPEG output  
MPEG:  
Choose this if you’ve connected the DV-S155X to an AV amp that supports MPEG.  
MPEG>PCM:  
MPEG signals will be converted to linear PCM for output. Choose this if you’ve connected  
the DV-S155X to an AV amp that doesn’t support MPEG. (This is the default setting.)

• Digital output  
This specifies whether digital audio will be output from the DV-S155X’s digital output jack.  
On: The digital jack will output digital audio signals.  
Off: The digital jack will not output digital audio signals.  
■ Linear PCM Out setting  
Down Sample On:  
Choose this setting if you’ve connected the  
DV-S155X to an AV amp that does not support 96  
kHz audio. (This is the default setting.)  
Down Sample Off:  
Choose this setting if you’ve connected the  
DV-S155X to an AV amp that supports 96 kHz audio.  
Note  
• Some discs will forcibly convert to 48/44.1 kHz even if you choose “Down Sample Off,” or  
may not produce digital output.  
• 96 kHz linear PCM audio from a copy-protected DVD video is automatically converted to  
48 kHz for output, or is output as analog audio.  
• This setting applies to both “Digital Out/Digital1” and “Digital Out/Digital2.”  
■ Dynamic Range Control setting  
The Dynamic Range Control setting lets you compress the audio so that loud sounds will be  
softer and soft sounds will be louder. This is convenient when you find it difficult to hear the  
dialog of a movie, or when watching a movie late at night.  
Off (default):  
Dynamic Range Control will be off.  
On:  
Dynamic Range Control will be on. Loud sounds  
such as explosions will be softer, and dialog will be  
easier to hear.  
Note  
• Dynamic Range Control only works for Dolby Digital sound.  
• This setting automatically reverts to Off when the DV-S155X is turned on.

• Do not attach paper or tape to discs.  
Cleaning discs  
• Fingerprints and dust on a disc can cause  
picture and sound deterioration. Wipe the  
disc from the center outwards with a soft  
cloth. Always keep discs clean.  
A note regarding condensation  
If you move this DVD player from a cold  
place into a warm room, or use a heater to  
rapidly warm a cold room, small droplets of  
water (“condensation”) may form inside the  
player. Condensation will prevent the player  
from working properly, and will also damage  
the disc or parts inside. If condensation  
occurs, leave the power turned on for one or  
two hours before you use the player. When  
not using the player, we recommend that you  
remove the disc.  
✔
• If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft  
cloth, wipe the disc lightly with a slightly  
moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry  
cloth.  
• Do not use any type of solvent, such as  
thinner, benzene, commercial cleaners or  
antistatic spray for vinyl LPs. These sol-  
vents may damage discs.  
Storing discs  
• Do not store discs in locations subject to  
direct sunlight or near heat sources.  
• Do not store discs in locations subject to  
moisture or dust, such as a bathroom or  
near a humidifier.  
• Store discs in cases. Store each case verti-  
cally. Stacking or placing objects directly  
on a disc may cause it to warp.

Glossary  
Analog audio  
Dolby Digital  
An electrical signal that directly represents  
sound. Compare this to digital audio which  
can be an electrical signal, but is an indirect  
representation of sound. See also “Digital  
audio”.  
Using a maximum of 5.1 channels  
of audio, this high quality surround system is  
used in many of the finer movie theaters  
around the world.  
The on-screen display shows which channels  
are active, for example showing 3/2.1. The 3  
being the two front channels and the center  
channel; the 2 being the surround channels,  
and the .1 being the LFE channel.  
Aspect ratio  
The width of a TV screen relative to its  
height. Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other  
words, the screen is almost square); wide-  
screen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost  
twice as wide as it is high).  
DRM  
DRM (digital rights management) is a type of  
server software developed to enable secure  
distribution of paid content over the web,  
recently incorporated by WMA (Windows  
Media Audio).  
Digital audio  
An indirect representation of sound by num-  
bers. During recording, the sound is measured  
at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second  
for CD audio) by an analog-to-digital con-  
verter, generating a stream of numbers.  
On playback, a digital-to-analog converter  
generates an analog signal based on these  
numbers. See also “Sampling frequency” and  
“Analog audio”.  
DTS  
DTS stands for Digital Theater Sys-  
tems. DTS is a surround system different  
from Dolby Digital that has become a popular  
surround sound format for movies.

Dynamic range  
mally not watch from beginning to end all at  
once—karaoke discs, for example.  
The difference between the quietest and loud-  
est sounds possible in an audio signal (with-  
out distorting or getting lost in noise).  
Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capa-  
ble of a very wide dynamic range, delivering  
dramatic cinema-like effects.  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
The most common system of encoding digital  
audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent  
quality, but requires a lot of data compared to  
formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG  
audio. For compatibility with digital audio  
recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV ampli-  
fiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert  
Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to  
PCM. See also “Digital audio”.  
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File)  
A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film  
for digital still cameras. Digital cameras from  
various manufacturers use this compressed  
file format which carries date, time and  
thumbnail information, as well as the picture  
data.  
Regions (DVD-Video only)  
These associate discs and players with partic-  
ular areas of the world. This unit will only  
play discs that have compatible region codes.  
You can find the region code of your unit by  
looking on the rear panel. Some discs are  
compatible with more than one region (or all  
regions).  
File extension  
A tag added to the end of a filename to indi-  
cate the type of file. For example, “.mp3”  
indicates an MP3 file.  
ISO 9660 format  
International standard for the volume and file  
structure of CD-ROM discs.  
Sampling frequency  
The rate at which sound is measured to be  
turned into digital audio data. The higher the  
rate, the better the sound quality, but the more  
digital information is generated. Standard CD  
audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz,  
which means 44,100 samples (measurements)  
per second. See also “Digital audio”.  
JPEG  
A file format used for still images, such as  
photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are  
identified by the file extension “.jpg” or  
“.JPG”. Most digital cameras use this format.  
MP3  
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed  
audio file format. Files are recognized by  
their file extension “.mp3” or “.MP3”.  
WMA  
WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and  
refers to an audio compression technology  
developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA  
data can be encoded by using Windows  
Media Player version 8 or Windows Media  
Player for Windows XP.  
MPEG audio  
An audio format used on Video CDs and  
some DVD discs. This unit can convert  
MPEG audio to PCM format for wider com-  
patibility with digital recorders and AV  
amplifiers. See also “PCM (Pulse Code Mod-  
ulation)”.  
MPEG video  
The video format used for Video CDs and  
DVDs. Video CD uses the older MPEG-1  
standard, while DVD uses the newer and  
much better quality MPEG-2 standard.  
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)  
A system of navigating a Video CD through  
on-screen menus recorded onto the disc.  
Especially good for discs that you would nor-
