The available power supply voltage differs according to country or region. However,  
this unit is equipped with an Automatic Voltage Selector.  
The power supply voltage of the area where the unit will be used automatically  
meets the required voltage within the range of AC 100 - 240 V, without any manual  
voltage adjustment.  
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted only into a  
standard three-pin power point which is effectively earthed through the normal  
household wiring. Extension cords used with the equipment must be three-core and  
be correctly wired to provide connection to earth.  
Improper extension cords are a major cause of fatalities. The fact that the equipment  
operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is earthed and that the  
installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective  
earthing of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.

CHANGING THE VIDEO SIGNAL FORMAT  
Depending on the countries, this DVD player conforms to either the NTSC color system for U.S.A, Canada, etc., or the PAL  
for Europe, Australia, China, etc.  
If the color system of this DVD player is different from that of your TV monitor and the discs to be played, the screen may be  
somewhat hard to see or the picture quality may be poor.  
Only in this case, change the video signal format to another.

CHANGING THE COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT SIGNAL  
Only during playback of DVD Video on this unit, the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTs of this unit can be capable of outputting  
either conventional interlacing video signal or progressively scanned video signal(that can reproduce high-density pictures  
with less flicker).  
When the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTs of this unit are connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO INs of TV or projector, etc.,  
depending on whether the video signal system of your TV or projector, etc. supports the conventional interlacing(simply  
called interlaced) video signals or the progressively scanned(simply called progressive) video signals(that can reproduce  
high-density pictures with less flicker), you should select the corresponding video signal.  
Notes:  
When you select the PROGRESSIVE TV, the S-VIDEO and (composite) VIDEO OUTs of this unit cannot output the normal  
video signals. Therefore, it cause the picture to break up and shake.  
When the progressive video signals are input into the non-progressive COMPONENT VIDEO INs of your TV, etc., the  
picture may not be shown normally, too.  
Therefore, when the progressive COMPONENT VIDEO INs of TV is not connected to, you should select INTERLACE TV.

Definition Of Terms  
DVD Video  
File (MP3 disc)  
This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-  
quality pictures and sound have been recorded by means  
of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression  
technology (MPEG-2) and high-density recording  
technology. DVD Video enables esthetically pleasing full-  
motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for  
instance, a whole movie can be recorded).  
Each material (song) is recorded on a file.  
Files may be grouped into a folder by artist, album, category,  
etc.  
DVD Video structure  
Title 1  
Title 2  
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3  
Chapter 1 Chapter 2  
DVD Video has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin  
discs which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner the  
disc, the higher the density at which the information can be  
recorded, a DVD Video has a greater capacity than a single  
1.2 mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are adhered to  
each other, there is the potential to achieve double-sided  
play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.  
CD structure  
Track 1  
Track 2  
Track 3  
Track 4  
MP3 disc structure  
On an MP3 disc, a folder can be a member of another folder,  
creating hierarchical folder layers. If you are familiar with a  
personal computer, you may easily understand the  
hierarchical file/folder construction.  
MPEG  
MPEG stands for Moving Picture Expert Group. It is  
regarded as an international standard for compressing and  
restoring digital video and audio signal. MPEGstandards  
include MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Video CD and MP3  
are based on MPEG-1, while DVD Video is based on  
MPEG-2.

MP3  
Aspect ratio (DVD Video)  
MP3 is an audio data reduction format, which stands for  
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data  
reduction of about 1:10.  
The aspect ratio is the ratio between the vertical and  
horizontal size of the picture displayed on a TV screen. The  
aspect ratio of normal TV screen is 4:3 while that of the  
wide-screen TV and HDTV screen is 16:9.  
Title, Title number (DVD Video)  
The title is the largest unit of the video/audio recording in  
DVD Videos. Usually, the title corresponds to a movie of  
video software or an album (or a piece) of music software.  
Title numbers are sequential numbers assigned to titles.  
Subtitle (DVD Video)  
Some DVD Videos contain the recording of more than one  
subtitle languages. With these discs, this unit can select one  
of the subtitle languages as desired during playback.  
Chapter, Chapter number (DVD Video)  
Chapters are divisions, which are smaller than the titles, of  
the contents recorded on DVD Videos. Every title is  
composed of more than one chapter. Chapter numbers are  
the sequential numbers assigned to the chapters in a DVD  
Video.  
Angle (DVD Video)  
Some DVD Videos contains scenes which have shot  
simultaneously from multiple camera angles. With these  
discs, the same scene can be viewed from each of these  
different angles.  
Interlaced scan  
Track number (CD)  
In the conventional video system, a picture is shown on the  
screen in two halves. The interlaced scanning system places  
lines of the second half of the picture in-between lines of the  
first half of the picture.  
Track numbers are used to designate the various sections of  
a disc.  
Folder (MP3 disc)  
Folder is the largest unit of the contents recorded on MP3  
discs.  
41  
Progressive scan  
Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a  
picture at one time, as a single frame.  
Dolby Digital  
Dolby Digital provides multichannel surround sound in  
cinemas from 35 mm film and in the home from laser discs,  
DVDs, and digital broadcast television, cable, and satellite  
systems. It enables the transmission and storage of up to  
five full-range audio channels, plus a low-frequency effects  
channel(LFE), thus 5.1 channels, in less space than is  
required for just one linear PCM-coded channel on a  
compact disc.  
Composite video  
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer  
video products that contains all luminance, color, and  
synchronization information.  
Dolby Pro Logic  
S-video  
Dolby Pro Logic decodes program material encoded in  
Dolby Surround, and is built into virtually every home  
theater audio system. Dolby Pro Logic reconstructs the  
original four channels - left, center, right, and surround -  
that were encoded onto the program materials stereo  
soundtracks.  
A video signal which improves picture quality over the  
standard composite video signal.  
Component video  
Video signals with three channels of separate information  
that makes up the picture. There are some types of  
component video, such as Y/CB(Pb)/CR(Pr) and R/G/B.

Bitstream  
The digital signal form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1  
channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.  
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)  
DTS is a newly-developed surround system which can  
handle more amount of data than Dolby Digital, providing  
better audio quality. Though the number of audio channels  
is 5.1 which is same as Dolby Digital, discs bearing the  
Linear PCM  
PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation. Linear PCM is the  
usual digital method without compression, used for audio  
playback of audio CDs, DVD Videos, etc.  
provides fat sound and better signal-to-noise ratio,  
thanks to the lower audio compression ratio format. It  
also provides wide dynamic range and better separation,  
resulting in magnificent sound.
