Connections  
If your TV has an S-VIDEO input, you can get better picture  
quality by connecting it with the S-VIDEO output of the unit using  
an S-video cable instead of connecting the video input of the TV  
to the VIDEO jack of the unit.  
Before using the unit, connect the unit to a TV and/or amplifier.  
Before making connections  
• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other  
connections have been made.

VIDEO SIGNAL SELECTOR  
• Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input  
of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the unit to a TV via a  
VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing back a

Connecting to a digital audio device  
NOTES  
You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the unit’s  
DIGITAL OUT (either OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack to a digital  
input of an amplifier, etc., using an optical or coaxial digital cable.  
The digital audio signal on a disc will be transferred directly from  
the unit. If the connected digital audio equipment is a Dolby  
Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder, you  
can enjoy high-quality surround sound.  
• Connect the unit and the digital audio device by using either an  
optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable.  
• 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 unit, 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 23).

Selecting the desired group and track  
When inserting an MP3 disc, after the disc contents are read, the  
MP3 CONTROL display automatically appears on the TV screen.  
You can specify the desired group/track from the display using  
the following procedure.  
About MP3 discs  
On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a file (track). Files are  
sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album, etc.  
• Each file is regarded as a track.  
• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.  
• A folder which does not directly contain any tracks is ignored.  
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group  
1.”  
• The unit recognizes up to 150 tracks per group, and up to 99  
groups per disc. If there are files other than MP3 files, they also  
count in the 150-file total.  
1 Make sure that the black (cursor) bar is in the  
left (group) column.  
If it is in the right column, press 2to move it to the left

Additional information  
Appendix D: Glossary  
Aspect ratio  
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)  
A color television system format used extensively in Western  
Europe.  
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.  
PBC  
Bitstream  
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.  
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)  
before it is decoded into its various channels.  
Chapter/title  
S-video  
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.  
A video signal which improves picture quality over standard  
composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV  
monitors, etc.  
Component video  
Track  
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/CB(PB)/CR(PR).  
The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.  
Composite video  
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video  
products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization  
information.  
Dolby Digital (AC3)  
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.  
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 analog AUDIO OUT  
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.  
Linear PCM audio  
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  
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.  
NTSC (National television system committee)  
A black and white and color television system format used in the  
U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.
