Chapter 1: Setup and Connections
Things to consider before you connect
Protect components from overheating
• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can circulate freely.
• Don’t stack components.
• When you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf.
Position cables properly to avoid audio interference
• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down the side of the back of the TV instead of straight down the middle of the back of
the TV.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.
Connection Pictures
Audio/video cables are usually bundled together. For better visibility, the connection pictures in this book show each cable separately (audio left,
audio right, and video).
Types of discs your DVD player can play
• DVD discs – contian picture and sound (DVD-R, DVD+RW are compatible with this player) .
• CDs (CD-R, CD-RW) – Audio CDs contain musical or sound content only. MP3 discs are CDs that contain MP3
files. This player is also capable of playing CDs that contain JPEG files.
• Video CD discs – Like DVD video discs, Video CDs contain picture and sound content. The difference is the
amount of information that can be stored on the disc. VCDs typically have lower picture and sound quality than
DVD discs.
• Kodak Picture CDs
Some discs may not be
compatible due to laser pickup
and disc design.

Both Dolby Digital® and DTS® are audio formats used to
record 5.1-channel audio signals onto the digital track of
film (while the film is being made). Both of these formats
provide up to six separate channels: left, right, center, left
rear, right rear, and common subwoofer. The disc will play
5.1-channel sound only if you’ve connected a DTS or Dolby
Digital receiver or decoder and if the disc is encoded in the

This player’s digital output jack is designed for a
connection to a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver or decoder.
Older digital equipment may not be compatible with the
Dolby Digital bitstream. Such a connection can create a
high level of noise that may be harmful to your ears, and
could damage headphones or speakers. It is important to
choose the correct Digital Output setting in the DVD
Player’s Sound menu, especially when you use either of the
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks. For more information, go to

Chapter 1: Setup and Connections
DVD Player + TV + Audio Receiver
1. Connect the Audio cables.
A. Connect the left and right audio cables to your audio/video receiver and to the AUDIO OUT L (left – white) and R
(right – red) jacks on the back of your DVD Player.
B. If you have a Dolby Digital or DTS receiver, use one of the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks to connect the receiver to
the DVD player. You must also set the Digital Output setting in the Sound menu (go to page 42).
Note: The DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack has two options: OPTICAL and COAXIAL. Some Dolby Digital receivers have one type of
Digital Audio Input jack, and some have both. Under most conditions, optical and coaxial connections work equally well — the
only difference is the type of cable you connect to the jack.
Rarely, but sometimes, coaxial cables — especially long ones, pick up radio frequency (RF) interference from household
appliances, nearby power lines, and/or broadcast towers.
C. Down Mix Audio (optional, not shown) Connect the second set of AUDIO OUT jacks on the back of the DVD
player to the AUDIO IN jacks on the back of the TV. This allows you to listen to discs without going through the
receiver. You can turn the receiver off and listen to the disc through the TV speakers.
3. Connect the video cable.
A. Basic video connection – Connect the video cable (yellow) to the VIDEO OUT jack on the back of your DVD
Player, and to the Video Input jack on your TV (sometimes labeled VIDEO IN).
B. S-Video (optional) – If your TV has an S-Video jack, connect the S-Video cable to the S-VIDEO OUT jack on the
back of your DVD Player and to the S-VIDEO jack on your TV.
4. Connect the AC power cord into an AC outlet.

Chapter 2: The Remote Control
Install Batteries in the Remote
1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote.
2. Insert new batteries. Match the polarities (+ and –) on the batteries with the diagram on the remote.
3. Put the battery compartment cover back on the remote.
Important Battery Information
• If you’re not going to use the remote for a month or more, be sure to remove the batteries because they can leak
and cause damage.
• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.
• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not
replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be
recharged.
• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.
Point the Remote in the Right Direction
When you want the remote to operate the DVD Player, point the remote at the DVD Player, not the TV. The remote has
to be pointed in the correct direction and toward the correct component in order for the remote control’s signal to
communicate with the sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path between the remote control and the
component you want to operate, so the signal isn’t blocked.
Turn on the TV and DVD Player
1. Turn on your TV and tune it to the correct Video Input Channel (if you don’t know which channel is your the
Video Input channel, go to page 54 for help).
2. Press the ON•OFF button to turn on the DVD Player.
3. The first time you turn on your DVD player, the Language menu appears.
If you want the DVD player’s menus to appear in English, press the OK button on the remote control. If you prefer
another language, press the arrow down button until that language is highlighted. Press OK to select the language.

Chapter 3: Playing Discs
Regional Coding
Both the DVD Player and the discs are coded by region. These regional codes must
match in order for the disc to play. If the codes don’t match, the disc won’t play. This
player’s code is region 1.
This DVD Player is capable of playing the following types of discs:
DVDs, audio CDs, Video CDs, MP3 CDs. Before you put a disc in the
player, make sure it is compatible.
Using Different Menus
You can’t play the following types of discs:, Laserdiscs, CD-I, CD-ROM
(computer-only discs), DVD-ROM, or discs recorded using other
broadcast standards (i.e. PAL or SECAM).
Each disc is programmed with different features. There are three separate types of
menus that you can use to access features:
• The Disc menu – The Disc menu is part of each disc and is separate from the DVD
player’s menu. The contents of each Disc menu vary according to how the disc
was authored and what features are included.
The Disc menu is turned on and off (while the disc is playing) with the MENU
button on the remote. To see the disc menu when playback is stopped, press the
GUIDE button.
• The DVD player’s Info Display – The Info Display appears as icons across the top
of the screen when a disc is playing. It can only be accessed while you are playing
a disc. It’s turned on and off with the INFO button on the remote.
• The DVD player menu – The DVD player’s menu system is accessed only when a
disc isn’t playing. It appears automatically when you press the STOP button on
the remote.
Remember: A feature will only work if the disc was programmed with that feature. For example, if
you choose subtitles on the Info Display, the subtitles will only appear if the disc was created with
subtitles. If a menu or icon is “grayed out” it means that item (or feature) isn’t available.
Chapter Contents
The beginning of this chapter pertains to DVD discs.
Many of the player’s features work the same way with
other types of discs. Video CDs, Audio CDs, and MP3
CDs are explained later in the chapter.

Turn on the TV and your DVD Player (press ON•OFF on the remote or press the STANDBY/ON button on the remote
control).
1. If necessary, tune the TV to its Video Input channel (if you need more information, go to page 54).
2. Press the OPEN•CLOSE button (the disc tray opens).
This is an example of a one-
sided disc.
3. Place a disc gently into the tray with the disc’s label facing up (double-sided discs have content on both sides, so
you can place either side up).
4. Press the OPEN•CLOSE or PLAY button. The disc tray closes. The DVD Player reads the disc’s table of contents,
and then one of three things happens depending on how the disc was programmed:
• The disc starts playing.
• The disc menu appears on the screen. One of the options will start disc play. Highlight that option and press
OK.
• The DVD Player’s main menu appears on the screen. Highlight the Play option and press OK.
This is an example of a two-
sided disc — the title is usually
in the center of the disc.
When you stop playing a disc, the player remembers where you stopped. When you start playing the disc again, the
DVD Player picks up where you left off unless the disc is removed or the player is unplugged, or if you press the STOP
button twice.

America) such as R, PG, G, etc.
The system ranks the ratings from 1 to 8 in order to accomodate ratings systems used in other countries (1 is considered material that is least
offensive and 8 is considered the most offensive).

Chapter 4: DVD Menu System
The Display Menu
The Display menu contains the settings that affect how a disc’s content looks on your TV and the brightness of the
display that’s on the front of the DVD Player.
TV Image
The TV Image menu adjusts the way a movie appears on your TV. Standard TVs are 4
x 3 format. Depending on the type of television you have, you may want to adjust the
screen setting (also called the aspect ratio).
1. With the player on (no disc playing), press MENU (the main menu appears).
2. Use the up/down arrow buttons to highlight Display. Press the OK button on the
remote (the Display choices appear).
3. Since the TV Image is the first submenu, it’s already highlighted. Press the OK
button (the TV Image options appear).
4. Use the up/down arrow buttons to highlight your choice (the options are
explained below), and press OK to select.
4 x 3 Standard – Choose this setting if you want the movie to fill the entire screen of
your TV. This might mean that parts of the picture (the left and right edges) won’t be
seen. Most discs produced in a widescreen format can’t be cropped in this fashion.
This means the black bars will appear at the top and the bottom of the screen.
This is an example of 4 x 3.

4 x 3 Letterbox – Choose this setting if you want to see movies in their original
aspect ratio (height-to-width ratio). You’ll see the entire frame of the movie, but it will
take up a smaller portion of the screen vertically. The movie might appear with black
bars at the top and bottom of the screen.
16 x 9 Widescreen – Choose this setting if your DVD Player is connected to a
widescreen TV. If you choose this settng and you don’t have a widescreen TV, the
images on the screen might appear distorted due to vertical compression. If you play a
disc recorded in 4 x 3 format on a widescreen TV, the left and right side of the screen
will appear black.

Handling Cautions
• Before connecting other components to this player, be sure to turn all components off.
• Don’t move the player while a disc is being played. The disc may get scratched or broken, and the player’s internal parts may be damaged.
• Don’t put any container filled with liquid or any small metal objects on the player.
• Be careful not to put your hand into the disc tray.
• Don’t place anything other than the disc in the disc tray.
• Exterior influences such as lightning and static electricity can affect normal operation of this player. If this occurs, turn the player off and on
again with the ON•OFF button, or disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord to the AC power outlet. The player will operate normally.
• Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the player after use.
Maintenance of Cabinet
For safety reasons, when cleaning the cabinet be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, or other solvents for cleaning.
• Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.
Formation of Condensation
• Due to sharp changes in temperature and humidity, condensation may form if warm air comes in contact with any cold parts inside the player.
• When condensation forms inside the player, the player may not operate correctly. If this occurs, leave the player at room temperature until the
inside of the player becomes dry and operational.
• If condensation forms on a disc, wipe the disc with a soft, dry cloth by moving the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge.
Handling Discs
• Don’t touch the disc’s signal surfaces. Hold by the edges or by one edge and the hole in the center.
• Don’t affix labels or adhesive tape to label surfaces. Don’t scratch or damage the label.
• Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
Cleaning Discs
• Dirty discs can cause reduced video and audio performance. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge
toward the outer perimeter.
• If a disc becomes very dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well. Wipe the dirt away gently, and remove any water drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record-cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Also, never clean the discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which
may cause damage to the disc surface.

When connecting, make sure you connect Output jacks to Input jacks, Video to Video, Right Audio to Right Audio, etc. A description of each jack
follows.
Description of Jacks
AUDIO OUT – Insert audio cables (left - white, and right - red) to the AUDIO R and L jacks on your DVD Player and to the corresponding Audio
Input jacks (left and right) on your TV or receiver.
VIDEO OUT – If you are using color-coded red, yellow and white RCA cables, connect the yellow video cable to this jack and to the Video Input jack
on your TV.
DIGITAL AUDIO OUT (COAXIAL type connector) – You can connect a compatible audio receiver to this jack. Some receivers have either the COAXIAL or
OPTICAL type of Digital Audio Input jack, and some have both. Under most conditions, optical and coaxial connections work equally well — the only
difference is the type of cable you connect to the jack.
Rarely, but sometimes, coaxial cables — especially long ones, pick up radio frequency (RF) interference from household appliances, nearby power lines,
and/or broadcast towers.If you want to use a less expensive cable, connect a coaxial cable to the COAXIAL jack if your receiver has a COAXIAL input
jack.
S-VIDEO OUT – If your TV has an S-VIDEO jack, connect an S-Video cable to the DVD Player’s S-VIDEO jack and to the TV’s S-Video jack to achieve
better picture quality than using the VIDEO jack. S-VIdeo only carries the picture, so you must connect the audio cables.
