back a copy-protected disc. You may also have a monitor

problem when connecting the player to an integrated TV/

Video system.

• In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with

“monitor” or “projector.”

• Terminal names used for other components may be different

from those used in the following description.

high-quality surround sound.

• 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 player, 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 25).

To turn off the status bar

Press ON SCREEN repeatedly until the status bar goes off.

To change the display window contents

The player resumes playback from the position you interrupted

playback, as long as the disc you interrupted playback is still on

When the resume mode is set to ON, the player memorizes the

position on a disc where you interrupted playback.

[RESUME STOP] and the [RESUME] indicator lights up in the

display window.

Press DISPLAY/DIMMER.

Example: for DVD VIDEO

Then press 3 (SELECT).

Hint

If you press 0 during playback, the player stops playback and

NOTES

To stop playback temporarily

• The player remembers the interrupted position even if you turn

the power off.

• The memory is cleared if you open the disc tray.

Press 8.

To resume playback, press 3 (SELECT). (See the following

item.)

Changing the resume mode

The player has three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC

RESUME.

• You can select the mode using the preference display (see

page 25).

About On-screen guide icons

You may see the following icons displayed over the picture.

They have the following meanings.

When the resume mode is “OFF”

Playback always starts from the beginning.

: Appears at the beginning of playback mode.

: Appears at the beginning of pause mode.

: Appears at the beginning of fast forward/backward

playback with the current speed (see page 10).

When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME”

The player memorizes interrupted positions for the last 30 discs

played. Storing a new interrupted position will erase the

interrupted position stored for the first disc.

: Appears at the beginning of slow-motion playback

with the current speed (see page 10).

The memory of the interrupted positions are not cleared even if

you open the disc tray or turn off the player.

: Appears at the beginning of a scene recorded from

multiple angles (see page 15).

: Appears at the beginning of a scene recorded with

multiple audio languages (see page 15).

NOTES

• If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to

[OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose

“resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set

[RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume

playback of the disc.

• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted

position has already been stored, the memory will be updated

with the new interrupted position.

: Appears at the beginning of a scene recorded with

multiple subtitle languages (see page 15).

You can change the setting so that the on-screen guide icons

do not appear on the TV screen (see page 25).

• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the player regards each

side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a

disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.

• When the player memorizes an iterrupted point for a disc, it also

memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.

• The player may not resume playback exactly from the

interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with

PBC function, the player may resume playback from a point

slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was

interrupted.

About screen saver function

A television monitor may have an image burned into it if a static

image is displayed for a long time. To prevent this, the player

automatically activates the screen saver function if a static

picture, such as an on-screen display or menu, is displayed

while no button is pressed for over 5 minutes.

When the screen saver function is activated, the TV screen

gets darker.

Pressing any buttons will release the screen saver function.

You can set the screen saver function to ON or OFF (see page

24).

Appendix D: Glossary

ASF

Linear PCM audio

ASF is an abbreviation of “Advanced Streaming Format,” and is a

data compression format for streaming developed by Microsoft

Corporation. ASF can contain the various data types such as

audio, video, and text.

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.

MP3

Aspect ratio

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.

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.

MPEG-4

Bitstream

MPEG-4 is an audio/video data compression format, which is

The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)

highly efficient and more stable than MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.

before it is decoded into its various channels.

MPEG Multichannel

Chapter/title

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.

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.

Component video

PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)

A color television system format used extensively in Western

Europe.

Video signals with three channels of separate information that

makes up the picture. There are some types of component video,

such as R/G/B and Y/C^B(PB)/CR(PR).

PBC

Composite video

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.

A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video

products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization

information.

RGB

Dolby Digital (AC3)

An abbreviation for Red, Green and Blue. Color monitors and

color television sets display different hues by mixing these three

colors.

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.

Track

The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.

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.

Down-mix

Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD

player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output

connectors.

DTS

A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six

(5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder,

either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for

Digital Theater Systems.

Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.

Dynamic range

The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.

Interlaced scanning

In a conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display

monitor in between lines of 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.

JPEG

A popular file format for still image compression and storage.

JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.

There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.

• baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.

• progressive JPEG: used for the web

• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now
