Before You Start  
to let you enjoy beautiful video possible  
with DVD. Furthermore, NSV technology  
suppresses noise during DA conversion.  
Features  
Equipped with an i.LINK port for  
digital transfers of high-quality media  
By simply connecting a single i.LINK cable  
between components with i.LINK ports, you  
can get direct digital transfers of not only  
DVD-Video audio but also multi-channel  
audio such as Super Audio CD or DVD-  
Audio, which previously could only be  
connected in analog with five audio cords, as  
well as 2-channel audio like conventional  
CDs (see page 55).  
Support for 10-bit advanced  
progressive NTSC/PAL with newly  
developed chroma-error  
compensation.  
Our newly developed chroma-error compen-  
sation completely eliminates the chroma  
error that occurs near perpendicular edges  
in color-difference signals.  
dts 96kHz/24 bit compatibility  
When transferring DVD-Audio or Super  
Audio CD audio digitally by i.LINK, this unit  
employs the Jitter Free Transfer System  
(JFTS), a technology that removes jitter from  
transfers. By combining this unit with JFTS-  
compatible components, you can play jitter-  
free audio.  
It is equipped with a dts 96/24 decoder  
that lets you enjoy dts audio with sound  
quality as high as 96kHz/24bit. This prod-  
uct does not support dts 88.2kHz/24bit.  
Dolby Headphone compatibility  
The Head Phone can reproduce the world of  
Dolby Surround with realistic ambience like  
that you would experience using a 5.1 ch  
system (Excluding Super Audio CD) (see  
page 13).  
1
An HDCP-compatible HDMI* terminal  
is provided to ensure the very highest  
picture and digital sound quality by  
fully digital transmission.  
This unit comes with a High-Definition  
Multimedia Interface (HDMI) jack, an  
extended DVI interface for next-generation  
televisions. This interface allows transfers of  
uncompressed digital video and digital audio  
(audio streams like Dolby Digital and DTS as  
well as linear PCM) with a single connector.  
HDMI standard Ver. 1.1 compatibility means  
the unit can also transfer DVD-Audio multi-  
channel audio over HDMI.  
Lip Sync capability  
When it is connected to a plasma display or  
projector, it corrects the time lag between  
the video and audio created by the video  
circuit processing time in units of 10msec up  
to a maximum of 200msec. It precisely  
synchronizes the actors’ voices and the  
movements of their mouths (see page 31).  
Equipped with a Super Audio CD  
Distance compensation function  
It can perform Distance adjustment of Super  
Audio CD that was formerly impossible by  
converting it to PCM (see page 44).  
End-to-end full-digital transfers with all-  
digital processing make it possible to enjoy  
realistic video without any of the image  
degradation from AD/DA conversions. And  
with the inclusion of our newly developed,  
high-precision 10-bit scaler IC, the unit can  
up-convert 480p video signals to 720p,  
Superlative audio performance with  
3
1080i, and 1080p video output signals by  
way of the scaling function and the HDMI  
jack (see page 52).

Note  
• Default setting: On  
• Even when set to Off, some discs will only  
output down sampled audio through the digital  
outputs.  
If the digital input of your AV amplifier (or other

set it to On (96kHz audio is converted to a more  
compatible 48kHz). Check the manual that came  
with the other component if you’re unsure  
whether it is 96kHz compatible.  
High sampling rate DVD-Audio discs (192kHz  
or 176.4kHz) always output audio down  
sampled to 96kHz or 88.2kHz through the  
digital outputs.

Audio Out  
Note  
• Default setting: 2 Channel  
• Even if you set Audio Out to 5.1 Channel,  
you’ll only get sound from all speakers when  
playing a multi-channel DVD-Audio disc, multi-  
channel Super Audio CD disc, Dolby Digital or  
DTS encoded DVD disc.  
If you connected this player to your amplifier using  
the 5.1 channel analog outputs (front, surround,  
center and subwoofer outs), set this to 5.1  
Channel; if you connected only the stereo  
outputs, set to 2 Channel.  
• If you set to 2 Channel, Dolby Digital and DTS  
are mixed down to two channels so you still  
hear all the audio recorded on the disc.  
Set this to 5.1 Channel when outputting multi-  
channel audio from the i.LINK port; when output-  
ting 2-channel audio, set to 2 Channel.  
• Some DVD-Audio discs don’t allow down-  
mixing of audio. These discs always output  
multi-channel audio regardless of the setting  
made here.  
• Sound recorded on MPEG is outputted on 2  
channel even if Audio Out is set to 5.1 CH.  
• This setting cannot be chosen when HDMI is  
connected while either Auto or Multi PCM  
selected for the HDMI audio setting. (page 54)  
• Audio is not output from the audio output jacks  
when i.LINK is connected. (page 55)

You may want to make this setting if you connected  
this player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel  
analog outputs.  
Under the default setting, all channels are output  
at the relative volumes they were recorded at.  
Change the setting to Variable, if you want to

Compared to a standard interlaced TV picture, a  
progressive scan TV is capable of stable, flicker-  
free images.  
The player uses one of two processes when  
displaying a still frame from a DVD disc. The  
default Auto setting automatically chooses the  
best setting each time.  
Set only if you connected the COMPONENT  
VIDEO OUT to a progressive scan-compatible TV  
or monitor.  
Field – produces a stable, generally shake-free  
image.

prone to shake than field stills.  
Progressive – Use this setting with TVs and  
monitors that have progressive scan component  
video inputs. Check the TV’s instruction manual  
if you are not sure about this.  
Interlace – Use this setting with regular TVs  
that are not compatible with progressive scan.  
Check the TV’s instruction manual if you are  
not sure about this.  
Tip  
If this player is set to output progressive-scan  
video, it’s possible that the picture will appear  
stretched when playing discs recorded in 4:3  
format. This happens when the TV’s aspect ratio is  
set to ‘Full. To see the picture in its correct aspect  
ratio, change the TV setting to ‘Normal.  
If your TV doesn’t have settings to change the  
aspect ratio of the picture, set this player to 16:9

Note  
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible with  
a progressive scan signal and choose one of the  
progressive scan settings, you will not be able  
to see any picture at all. With your TV con-  
nected using either the composite or S-Video  
terminals, choose the Interlace setting in the  
Component Video menu.

Most models of the newly developed count-

(NTSC) and automatically switch vertical  
amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical  
shrinkage.  
Screen Saver  
• Default setting: On  
If a constant image is displayed on a conventional  
CRT-type TV, it can “burn in” leaving a ghost image  
on the screen. Switch to On to make sure that a  
constant image is not displayed for a dangerously  
long time.  
• If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control,  
you may not be able to view NTSC discs,  
because the picture may roll. If the TV has a V-  
Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops  
rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink  
vertically, leaving black bands at the top and  
bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction;  
it is caused by the NTSC to PAL conversion.  
Note  
• When the selected format is changed to a  
different format from the TV format in which a  
program was recorded, the picture may become  
jerky and the upper and lower parts of the  
screen may disappear. The above setting should  
be specified to match the format of your own  
TV.  
TV System  
• Default setting: NTSC  
The default setting of this player is NTSC,  
and unless you notice that the picture is  
distorted when playing some discs, you  
should leave it set to NTSC.  
• Changes can be made only in the Stop mode.  
When RESUME is indicated on the display, put  
the player in the Stop mode by repressing  
7 (STOP) button.  
If you experience picture distortion with  
some discs, set the TV system to match your  
country or region’s system. Doing this,  
however, may restrict the kinds of disc you  
can watch. The table below shows what  
kinds of disc are compatible with each  
setting (Multi, PAL and NTSC).

About i.LINK  
By simply connecting a single i.LINK cable between components with i.LINK ports, you can get direct  
digital transfers of not only DVD-Video audio but also multi-channel audio such as Super Audio CD or  
DVD-Audio, which previously could only be connected in analog with five audio cords, as well as 2-  
channel audio like conventional CDs.  
When transferring DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD audio digitally by i.LINK, this unit employs the  
Jitter Free Transfer System (JFTS), a technology that removes jitter from transfers. By combining this  
unit with JFTS-compatible components, you can play jitter-free audio.  
Make sure that the plug is  
pushed fully home.

Note  
• The i.LINK audio interface does not transport video signals. A separate connection is necessary for video signals.  
• i.LINK cable specifications: S400 or better; 3.5 meters or shorter; 4-pin connectors  
• 96 kHz audio from copyright-protected DVD-Video discs is converted to 48 kHz before being output from the  
i.LINK port.  
• Set Audio Output under Audio Setup 1 to 5.1 Channel when outputting multi-channel audio from DVD-Audio  
discs (see page 39).  
• The play control of this unit and the input selector of an i.LINK-connected AV amplifier can be linked together  
(Auto Play) (see page 56).  
• When the i.LINK indicator (i.LINK) on the unit’s display is lit, audio is not output from the digital audio output  
plugs, the analog audio output jacks, the HDMI jack, or the headphone jack. If you wish to output audio from the  
digital audio output plugs, the analog audio output jacks, the HDMI jack, or the headphone jack, set Audio Out  
from i.LINK Setup to Off (see page 55).  
• The i.LINK indicator (i.LINK) on the unit’s display only lights when the connected amplifier is powered and its  
input selector is set to

• i.LINK can transport three formats: “i.LINK AUDIO (A&M protocol)” used by this unit, “MPEG-2 TS” for BS  
digital, and “DV” used by DVD recorders and digital video players. Data cannot be forwarded correctly when this  
unit is connected to components or computer peripherals that do not support the i.LINK AUDIO format.  
Furthermore, such connections may cause the unit to operate incorrectly.  
• During playback at an i.LINK component, do not unplug other i.LINK components, plug in new i.LINK compo-  
nents, or turn components on or off. Doing so many interrupt the audio playback.  
• Some i.LINK components cannot relay data when power is off or in standby mode. Please refer to the owner’s  
manual of your connected i.LINK component. This unit cannot relay i.LINK data in standby power mode.  
• i.LINK components indicate the maximum data transfer rate they support near the i.LINK port. The maximum  
i.LINK data transfer rates are defined as 100/200/400 Mbps (all rates are approximate). S200 indicates a  
maximum transfer rate of 200 Mbps; S400 indicates 400 Mbps. This unit has a maximum i.LINK data transfer  
rate of 400 Mbps. The actual transfer rate, however, may be slower than 400 Mbps due to a component’s  
specification or when connected to an S100 or S200 device. Whenever possible, connect components with the  
same maximum data transfer rate in parallel.  
(Mbps is an abbreviation for megabits per second and indicates the amount of data that can be communicated in  
one second. At 400 Mbps, 400 megabits of data are transferred in one second.)  
• i.LINK functions are not guaranteed to connect and operate among all i.LINK components. The functions of each  
respective component determine whether data or control signals can be exchanged among i.LINK components.  
• This unit’s i.LINK module was designed based on IEEE Std. 1394a-2000, Standard for High Performance Serial

i.LINK Network  
i.LINK components can be connected in the following configurations when exchanging i.LINK AUDIO  
signals (A&M Protocol).  
1. Daisy-chain connection  
Each pair of components is connected with a single i.LINK cable in series. Up to 17 components can  
be connected in this configuration.  
2. Tree (tower) connection  
Each pair of components is connected with a single i.LINK cable in series and in parallel. Up to 63  
components can be connected in this configuration.  
Note  
Always make i.LINK connections between any pair of components with one cable. Do not under any  
circumstance connect two components with two cables (forming a loop) because a component will  
receive the signals it outputs causing it to operate incorrectly.  
Copyright Protection System  
Both the player and the amplifier must support Digital Transmission Content Protection (DTCP), a  
copyright protection system, in order to play Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio (excluding free-to-copy  
discs) audio over an i.LINK connection. DTCP is a copy-protection technology that includes data  
encryption and component authentication. This unit supports DTCP. Please refer to the owner’s  
manual of your amplifier to determine if it supports DTCP.

Handling discs  
Discs to avoid  
When holding discs of any type, take care not to  
leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc  
surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the center  
hole and edge.  
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If you  
can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or  
otherwise damaged, don't risk using it in your  
player—you could end up damaging the unit.  
This unit is designed for use with conventional,  
fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not  
recommended for this product.  
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback  
performance. Take care also not to scratch the  
label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as  
the recorded side, scratches can still result in a  
disc becoming unusable.  
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints,  
dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the  
disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as  
shown in the diagram below.  
Cleaning the pickup lens  
The DVD player’s lens should not become dirty in  
normal use, but if for some reason it should  
malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your  
nearest MARANTZ-authorized service center.  
Although lens cleaners for CD players are commer-  
cially available, we do not recommend using them  
since some may damage the lens.  
Don’t wipe the disc surface  
using circular strokes.  
Wipe lightly from the  
center of the disc using  
straight strokes.  
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a  
commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to  
clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine,  
thinner or other cleaning agents, including  
products designed for cleaning vinyl records.  
Problems with condensation  
Condensation may form inside the player if it is  
brought into a warm room from outside, or if the  
temperature of the room rises quickly. Although  
the condensation won’t damage the player, it may  
temporarily impair its performance. For this reason  
you should leave it to adjust to the warmer  
temperature for about an hour before switching on  
and using.  
Storing discs  
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable  
than vinyl records, you should still take care to  
handle and store discs correctly. When you're not  
using a disc, return it to its case and store upright.  
Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or  
hot environments (including under direct sun-  
light).  
Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or  
use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped  
writing instrument. These could all damage the  
disc.  
For more detailed care information see the  
instructions that come with discs.  
Do not load more than one disc into the player.

Hints on installation  
Moving the player  
We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to  
come, so please bear in mind the following points  
when choosing a suitable location for it:  
If you need to move the player, first press POWER  
ON/OFF button on the front panel to turn the  
player off, then unplug the power cord. Never lift  
or move the unit during playback—discs rotate at  
a high speed and may be damaged.  
Do...  
Use in a well-ventilated room.  
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a  
Power cord caution  
table, shelf or stereo rack.  
Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not  
pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never  
touch the power cord when your hands are wet, as  
this could cause a short circuit or electric shock.  
Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, or  
other object on the power cord or pinch the cord  
in any other way. Never make a knot in the cord or  
tie it with other cords. The power cords should be  
routed so that they are not likely to be stepped  
on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give  
you an electric shock. Check the power cord once  
in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest  
MARANTZ authorized service center or your  
dealer for a replacement.  
Don’t...  
Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or  
humidity, including near radiators and other  
heat-generating appliances.  
Place on a window sill or other place where the  
player will be exposed to direct sunlight.  
Use in an excessively dusty or damp environ-  
ment.  
Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other  
component in your stereo system that becomes  
hot in use.  
Use near a television or monitor as you may  
experience interference—especially if the  
television uses an indoor antenna.  
Use in a kitchen or other room where the player  
may be exposed to smoke or steam.  
Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with  
cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of the  
unit.  
Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not  
large enough to support all four of the unit’s  
feet.
