discs for each sales region. If the regional code of the DVD changer
does not match one of the regional codes of the DVD disc, playback
is not possible.
9.Notes on Handling
• When shipping the DVD Changer, use the original shipping carton
and packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit as
it was originally packed at the factory.
• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the DVD
Changer. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the
DVD Changer for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

Region 1)
2.About This Manual
• The top and rear panels of the DVD Changer may become warm
This manual explains the basic procedures for operating your DVD
Changer. Some DVD video discs do not support the full potential of
the DVD technology. Your DVD Changer may therefore not respond
to all operating commands. Refer to instruction notes on discs.
after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
• When the DVD Changer is not in use, be sure to remove the disc
and turn off the power.
• If you do not use the DVD Changer for a long period, the unit may
not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD Changer
occasionally.

10. To Obtain a Clear Picture
3.Warranty Claim
The DVD Changer is a high technology, precision device. If the
optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the
picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we
recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts
replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating
environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.
You can find the serial number on the rear panel of this unit. In case
of warranty claim, please report this number.
4.Recording Copyright
Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is
illegal without permission of the copyright holder.
11. Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation damages the DVD Changer.
Please read the following carefully.
5.Power
WARNING
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ
THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.
Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold
drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside
of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical
pick-up lens inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of
the DVD Changer.
The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country
or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where
this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC 230 V, 50
Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear panel.
• Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.
6.Do not touch this unit with wet hands
- When you bring the DVD Changer directly from a cold place to a
warm place.
Do not handle this unit or power cord when your hands are wet or
damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take this unit to
an authorized service center for inspection.
- When you use the DVD Changer in a room where you just turned
on the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner
directly hits the unit.
7. Location of this unit
- In summer, when you use the DVD Changer in a hot and humid
place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.
• Place this unit in a well-ventilated location.
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of this
unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is
blocked, this unit may overheat and malfunction.
- When you use the DVD Changer in a humid place.
• Do not use the DVD Changer when moisture condensation may
occur.
• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heating units as this
unit's internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of the pickup.
If you use the DVD Changer in such a situation, it may damage
discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord
of the DVD Changer to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD Changer,
and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the DVD
Changer will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep
the DVD Changer connected to the wall outlet and moisture
condensation will seldom occur.
• Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by
vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit on
or above one of the speakers.
• Be sure this unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place it on
its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction.
• When you place this DVD Changer near a TV, radio, or VCR, the
playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted.
In this case, place the DVD Changer away from the TV, radio, or
VCR.
8.Care
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and
the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in
a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and
wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth.
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical
solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove
the panel lettering.

■ Selecting the audio outputs
Your DV-C501 provides several options for audio playback: you can use the analog or one of the digital audio outputs. If the
audio is to be played back by your TV set, connect the ANALOG OUTPUTs to the audio inputs of your TV set and activate them
(“Analog 2ch”). See “Audio Settings” on page 36 for details.
Notes:
• See also the instruction manual of the connected TV on how to select the signals transmitted by the DVD Changer.
• Before connecting the DVD Changer to your TV, be sure to turn off the power to and unplug both units from the wall outlet.
• If your TV set has one audio input (monaural), connect a Y cable adapter to the DV-C501’s ANALOG OUTPUTs, and the other end of the
adapter to the TV’s audio input.
• Be sure to establish a direct video connection between the DV-C501 and your TV set. Do not route the video signal through your VCR or other
video component. Otherwise the picture may be distorted due to the DVD disc’s copy protection.

Connecting to an Audio System and TV with
COMPONENT VIDEO Inputs
■ It is also possible to “split” the audio and video signals by sending the video signal to your TV set and
the audio signal to an amplifier. Doing so has the advantage that you can:
• Listen to the sound of audio CDs and DVD video discs in stereo (via the amplifier) or in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic
Surround or DTS (see pages 12, 13);
• Enjoy a better picture quality of DVD video discs on a TV equipped with Component Video inputs than would be possible via
an S-video connection.
Notes
• See also the manuals of your audio amplifier and TV set for establishing the correct connections and making the required settings.
• Before connecting the DVD Changer to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all components from the wall outlet.
• This DVD Changer outputs a very dynamic audio signal. Be sure to set the amplifier’s volume to a moderate listening level to avoid damaging
your speakers due to sudden volume surges.
• Switch off the amplifier or select another input source before connecting or disconnecting the DVD Changer’s power cable. If you leave the
amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.
Your DV-C501 provides several options for audio playback: you can use the analog or one of the digital audio outputs. If your
amplifier only provides analog inputs, use the DV-C501’s ANALOG OUTPUTs and select them via the on-screen menu (“Analog
2ch”). See “Audio Settings” on page 36 for details.

■ COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (COLOR DIFFERENCE):
Some TVs or monitors are equipped with Color Difference inputs. Connecting the DV-C501 to these inputs allows you to enjoy a
better picture quality. Be sure to match the DV-C501’s VIDEO OUTPUTs with the Component Video inputs of your TV or monitor
(see the illustration).
Actual labels for the Color Difference inputs may vary depending on the TV manufacturer (e.g. Y, B-Y, R-Y, etc.).
On some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the picture may be reduced slightly, or the tint may change. In such cases, adjust
the TV or monitor for optimum performance.
Note:
• If you place the DVD Changer near a tuner or radio, the radio reception might be distorted due to interference. In this case, locate the DV-
C501 away from the tuner or radio.

OtherAudio Playback Options
■ You can enjoy high-quality surround audio playback by connecting the DV-C501 to an amplifier equipped
with a Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic Surround, or DTS decoder. Furthermore you can transfer the signal
of audio CDs to your amplifier in the digital domain if it is fitted with a digital input.
See pages 10 and 11 for the video hookup of the DV-C501 to your TV set.
When using an optical digital cable, remove the cap from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL connector and firmly fit the cable’s
jack into the connector. When not using this connector, keep it capped to protect it from dust intrusion.
• Before connecting the DVD Changer to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all components from the wall
outlet.
Notes:
• This DVD Changer outputs a very dynamic audio signal. Be sure to set the amplifier’s volume to a moderate listening level to
avoid damaging your speakers due to sudden volume surges.
• Switch off the amplifier or select another input source before connecting or disconnecting the DVD Changer’s power cable. If you
leave the amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.

Dolby Digital is a surround sound technology used in movie theaters that
is now also available on equipment for a home environment. You can play
back motion picture and live-concert DVD video discs of this sound format
by connecting the DVD Changer to a 6-channel amplifier equipped with a
Dolby Digital decoder or Dolby Digital processor. If your amplifier (or
separate decoder) supports Dolby Pro Logic Surround, you can even play
back Dolby Pro Logic-encoded DVD movies with full 5.1-channel Dolby
Digital soundtracks, as well as titles with the Dolby Surround mark.
• This functionality is only available when using DVD video discs with
Dolby Digital encoding.

Warnings
• If you connect to the digital input of an amplifier that does not have a Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder, set the DV-C501’s “Audio
Out Select” function to “PCM.” Any other setting may damage your ears or speakers when using high volume levels.
• During playback of DTS-encoded audio CDs, excessive noise may be output from the ANALOG OUTPUTs. To avoid possible damage to
your audio system, we recommend you either break the connection between the DVD Changer’s ANALOG OUTPUTs and the amplifier,
or to only start playback of your DV-C501 after selecting the appropriate digital input source on your amplifier.
• DTS Digital Surround™ playback is only available if you connect an external 5.1-channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder to a DIGITAL
OUTPUT jack of the DVD Changer.
Connecting to an Amplifier Equipped with a DTS Decoder
Playback of DTS-encoded discs requires that you establish a digital connection with the amplifier. The selection of the DV-C501’s DIGITAL

Occasionally, some picture distortion not usually visible during a
normal telecast may appear on the TV screen during playback of a
DVD video disc. This is due to the fact that DVD videos provide a
higher resolution and therefore also more data to process. While the
amount of noise depends on the TV you connect the DVD Changer to,
reducing the sharpness setting on your TV when viewing DVD video
discs may alleviate the problem.

Programming Memory Sequences
■ Programming the D, T and C entries
The DV-C501’s Memory function allows you to program the
order in which the material on one or several discs should be
played back.
Here are a few hints that explain the programming system and
help you save time:
Note:
Note:
If you only want to select the next track for playback, using the
Next Selection function is a lot faster. See page 24.
For Video and audio CDs, you can only program the disc (“D”) and
Track numbers. Track numbers are assigned to the “T” entry. The “C”
entry only applies to DVD video discs.
Insert the disc(s) you need for program-
ming the desired sequence.
1
Only specify what you does need to change:
Disc number: if a subsequent entry refers to the previously
selected disc number, you do not need to enter it again for the
new step. (Do not change the “—” setting for “D”.)
Title number (DVD video discs only): if a subsequent step
refers to another Chapter of the previously selected Title, only
entering the Chapter number is enough. (Do not change the
“—” setting for the “D” and “T” entries.)
Chapter number (DVD video discs only): if you want the
DV-C501 to play back all Chapters of the selected Title, leave
the “C” entry blank.
Switch on your TV set.

Example: if memory 1 refers to disc 3/Title 2/Chapter 25, while
memory 2 needs to refer to disc 3/Title 2/Chapter 12, you can
“copy” memory 1 to memory 2 and modify the “C” (chapter)
entry:
Notes:
• Some discs do not allow Memory playback.
• Program the memory to be copied (example: memory 1),
and press the ENTER button. The DVD Changer advances
to memory 2.
• The Repeat function (see page 21) is also available during playback
of your Memory sequence. Press the REPEAT button to activate it
for the current step of your Memory sequence.
• You can only program Title (or Track) and Chapter numbers that
exist on the selected disc.
• For Video and audio CDs, the “T” entry allows you to select the
track, while the “C” entry is not used.
• The Memory function is also available during playback.
• Use the numeric buttons to enter the chapter number 12
on the black cursor on the “C” entry, then press the
ENTER button, “D” and “T” on the memory 1 are copied to

Your DV-C501 allows you to select the following audio-related settings. The
number of options depends on the DVD video disc you are playing back. It
is not possible to select an option for which there is no data on the DVD.
Audio Playback Settings
Language: A DVD video disc may contain several language versions of a movie. Select the preferred language.
Recording system: Select the recording system that best matches the input capabilities of your amplifier or receiver. For
example, there is little point in selecting “
6CH” if your amplifier does not support Dolby Digital 5.1. Depending on the
selected recording system, the DV-C501 automatically converts the audio data to an acceptable format for your amplifier.
The DV-C501 accepts the Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM recording systems. Other systems cannot be played back. See
also the conversion table below for details about the available options. Dolby Digital 5.1 Channel is displayed as “

DVD Karaoke discs sometimes also contain a vocal track you
probably don’t need for Karaoke applications. That is why the
DV-C501 allows you to switch the lead vocal off.
Off: The lead vocal track is muted.

vocal track is output.

Logic processor.
Some DVD video discs contain a special track that describes
the on-screen actions for visually impaired persons. Your DV-
C501 is set to automatically output this track if available. If this
is not necessary, switch this function off.
Off: The Extended Audio Feature track is muted.
PCM:
Select this option if the DV-C501 is connected
to a digital input of your amplifier and if you
would like the sound to be played back in
stereo (e.g. for audio CDs). If you select “PCM”,
the audio data of DVD video discs with Dolby

automatically converted to 2-channel PCM, so
that you lose the surround information. See also

Dynamic Range Control allows you to “compress” the
dynamic range of a DVD’s sound track, so that you can lower

especially useful when you are watching a movie late at night.
Off: The full dynamic range is maintained.
On: Low-level signals are slightly boosted so as to remain
audible at a low volume setting.
Notes:
• This function is only available during playback of Dolby Digital-
encoded DVD video discs.
• The degree of dynamic range reduction may differ depending on the
DVD video disc.

This function allows you to select the background color for the

DVD video discs equipped with the Parental Lock function
allow you to decide what exactly can be viewed on your DV-

example: you could select a level where violent scenes
unsuitable for children are skipped and replaced with more
suitable scenes, or prevent playback of a disc altogether.
Whether the Parental Lock function actually works depends
on the DVD video disc in question, because it needs to
contain the software capable of responding to this function.
Parental Lock is secured by means of a 4-digit code to avoid
that your children bypass this function.

Screen Saver
The screen saver function protects your TV screen from burn-

saver is especially useful if you often use the Pause (“still”)
function and tend to forget to switch it off. See page 16.
Off: The Parental Lock feature is not active. To select the
“Off” setting, perform steps 1 and 2 below.
On: Switching on Parental Lock involves specifying the
highest level that can be viewed. You cannot just
switch this function on without selecting a level.
Careful: if you only carry out steps 1 and 2, Parental
Lock will be switched off. Be sure to perform steps 1 –
