2. About this Manual  
This manual explains how to use all of this unit’s func-  
tions. Although the DVD standard offers many special  
features, not all discs use them all, so depending on the  
disc being played, this unit may not respond to certain  
functions. See the disc’s sleeve notes for supported fea-  
tures.  
When you attempt to use a DVD feature that is  
not available, this logo may appear onscreen,  
indicating that the feature is not supported by  
the current disc or this unit.  
with the following code:  
Blue: Neutral  
Brown: Live  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this  
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured mark-  
ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as  
follows:  
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to  
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or  
coloured black.  
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to  
the terminal which is marked with the letter L or  
coloured red.  
3. Recording Copyright  
Unless it’s for personal use only, recording copyrighted  
material is illegal without the permission of the copy-  
right holder.  
IMPORTANT  
A 5 ampere fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse  
need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement  
fuse has a rating of 5 amperes and that it is approved by  
ASTA or BSI to BS1362. Check for the ASTA mark or  
the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.  
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE  
FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME  
THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND  
THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY.  
THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL  
SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED  
INTO ANY 13 AMPERE SOCKET.

5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands  
Never handle this unit or its power cord while your  
hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets  
inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.  
9.To Obtain a Clear Picture  
This unit is a high-tech, precision device. If the lens on  
the optical pickup, or the disc drive mechanism  
becomes dirty or worn, the picture quality may be  
affected. To maintain the best picture quality, we recom-  
mend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or  
worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use  
depending on the operating environment. Contact your  
Onkyo dealer for details.  
6. Installing this Unit  
• Install this unit in a well-ventilated location.  
Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation all around  
this unit, especially if it’s installed in an audio rack. If  
the ventilation is inadequate, the unit may overheat,  
leading to malfunction.  
10. Moisture Condensation  
Moisture condensation may damage this unit.  
Read the following carefully:  
• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat  
sources, because its internal temperature may rise,  
shortening the life of the optical pickup.  
• Avoid damp and dusty places, and places subject to  
vibrations from loudspeakers. Never put the unit on  
top of, or directly above a loudspeaker.  
• Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its side or  
on a sloping surface, because it may cause a malfunc-  
tion.  
• If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the  
picture and sound quality may be affected. If this  
occurs, move this unit away from the TV, radio, or  
VCR.  
When you take a glass containing a cold drink outside  
on a summer’s day, drops of water, called condensation,  
form on the outside of the glass. Similarly, moisture  
may condense on the lens of the optical pickup, one of  
the most important parts inside this unit.  
• Moisture condensation can occur in the following sit-  
uations:  
— The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm  
place.  
— A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air con-  
ditioner is hitting the unit.  
— In the summer, when this unit is moved from an  
air conditioned room to a hot and humid place.  
— The unit is used in a humid place.  
7. Care  
Occasionally, you should dust this unit all over with a  
soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft cloth damp-  
ened with a weak solution of mild detergent and water.  
Dry the unit immediately afterwards with a clean cloth.  
Do not use abrasive cloths, thinners, alcohol, or other  
chemical solvents, because they may damage the finish  
or remove the panel lettering.  
• Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility of  
moisture condensation occurring. Doing so may dam-  
age your discs and certain parts inside this unit.  
If condensation does occur, remove all discs and  
leave this unit turned on for two to three hours. By  
this time, the unit will have warmed up and any con-  
densation will have evaporated. To reduce the risk of  
condensation, keep this unit connected to a wall out-  
let.  
8. Handling Notes  
• If you need to transport this unit, use the original pack-  
aging to pack it how it was when you originally bought  
it.  
• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect sprays, near  
this unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this  
unit for a long time, because they may leave marks on  
the case.  
• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm after pro-  
longed use. This is normal.  
• When you’ve finished using this unit, remove all discs  
and turn off the power.  
• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not  
work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure  
to use it occasionally.

Connecting the DV-SP402E  
RCA/phono AV Connection Color Coding  
Before Making Any Connections  
RCA/phono AV connections are usually color coded:  
red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-  
channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”).  
Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and  
outputs (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to  
connect composite video inputs and outputs.  
• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.  
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed  
all audio and video connections.  
Optical Digital Inputs  
The DV-SP402E’s optical digital connectors have a shut-  
Analog audio  
ter-type cover that opens when an optical plug is  
inserted, and closes when it’s removed. Push the plug in  
all the way.

• This player is equipped with copy protection technol-  
ogy. Do not connect this player to your TV via a VCR  
using AV cables, as the picture from this player will  
not appear properly on your TV. (This player may also  
not be compatible with some combination TV/VCRs  
for the same reason; refer to the manufacturer for more  
information.)  
• When connecting to your TV as shown above, do not

Notes:  
• Before unplugging the player from the power outlet,  
make sure you first switch it into standby using either  
the front panel STANDBY/ON button, or the remote  
controller, and wait of the “GOOD BYE” message to  
disappear from the player’s display.  
• For the above reasons, do not plug this player into a

there is no video output from the VIDEO OUTPUT  
(composite) and S VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.  
• If you want to display video on more than one monitor  
simultaneously, make sure the player is set to Inter-  
lace.  
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a pro-  
gressive scan signal and switch the player to progres-  
sive, you will not be able to see any picture at all. In  
this case, switch everything off and reconnect using  
the supplied video cable, then switch back to Interlace  
Use the supplied AV cable (RCA/phono), connecting  
the red and white plugs to the audio outputs and the  
yellow plug to the video output. Make sure you  
match up the left and right audio outputs with their  
corresponding inputs for correct stereo sound.  
See the following page if you want to use a compo-  
nent or S-Video cable for the video connection.

Note:  
ConnectingYour TV  
• To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV,  
see “Video Output settings – Component Out” on  
• Connect the DVD Player to the TV directly. If you  
connect the DVD Player to aVCR, TV/VCR combina-  
tion, or video selector, the playback picture may be  
distorted as DVD videos are copy protected.  
Using SCART  
Using S-Video  
If your TV has a SCART-type AV input, you can use a  
SCART cable to connect this player to your TV. This  
type of connection carries both the sound and the picture,  
so there’s no need to connect up the AUDIO OUTPUT  
L/R and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks.  
If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-Video input,  
you can use this instead of the standard (composite) out-  
put for a better quality picture.  
• Use an S-Video cable (supplied) to connect the S  
VIDEO OUTPUT to an S-Video input on your TV (or  
monitor or AV receiver).  
• Use a SCART cable (supplied) to connect the AV  
CONNECTOR to an AV input on your TV.  
Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same  
mark on the plug before plugging in.

This should give you the best quality picture from the  
three types of video output available.  
• Use a component video cable (not supplied) to con-  
nect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks to a  
component video input on your TV, monitor or AV  
receiver.  
This connector can output composite video, S-Video, or  
RGB video. The default setting is composite, which  
should work with all TVs. Consult the manual that came  
with your TV to see if you can use one of the higher qual-  
ity settings. See page 41 for how to change the video out-  
put.

This enables you to listen to surround sound.  
For an optical connection, use an optical cable (not sup-  
plied) to connect the “OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO  
OUTPUT” jack to an optical input on your AV receiver.  
For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (similar to  
the supplied video cable) to connect the “COAXIAL  
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” jack to a coaxial input on  
your AV receiver.  
Connecting to an AV Receiver  
Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound  
connecting with an amplifier provides you high quality  
dynamic sounds.  
To reproduce Dolby Digital surround and DTS surround  
sound, you need to connect to an amplifier with a Dolby  
Digital and DTS decoder respectively.  
2. Connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT L/R  
and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on this player to a set  
of analog audio and video inputs on your AV  
receiver.  
Before connecting  
• When you connect the DVD Player to the amplifier, be  
sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from  
the mains before making any connections. Otherwise,  
the speakers may be damaged.  
AV receiver  
• Connect the plugs securely.  
To enjoy surround sound you need to connect this player  
to an AV receiver using a digital output. This player has  
both coaxial and optical digital jacks; use whichever is  
convenient.  
DVD  
IN  
In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also  
connecting using the stereo analog connection.  
To record the audio from a CD-R disc etc. to a cassette  
or CDR recorder that’s connected to theAV receiver, and  
when your AV receiver has Zone2, you must connect the  
DV-SP402E’s analog audio outputs to the AV receiver.  
You’ll probably also want to connect a video output to  
your AV receiver. You can use any of the video outputs  
available on this player (the illustration shows a standard  
(composite) connection).

Resume and Last Memory  
DVD-Video disc menus  
When you stop playback of a disc, RESUME is shown in  
the display indicating that you can resume playback  
again from that point.  
If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you start play-  
back the display shows RESUME and playback resumes  
from the resume point.  
With DVDs and Video CDs, if you take the disc out of  
the player, the play position is stored in memory. If the  
next disc you load is the same one, the display shows  
LAST MEM and playback will resume.  
Many DVD-Video discs feature menus from which you  
can select what you want to watch. They may also give  
access to additional features, such as subtitle and audio  
language selection, or special features such as slide-  
shows. See the disc packaging for details.  
Sometimes DVD-Video menus are displayed automati-  
cally when you start playback; others only appear when  
you press MENU or TOP MENU.  
If you want to clear the resume point, press (stop)  
while RESUME is displayed.

The Audio Settings menu offers features for adjusting

• Settings: High, Medium, Low, Off (default)  
When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume, it’s  
easy to lose the quieter sounds completely—including  
some of the dialog. Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic

sounds, while controlling loud peaks.

Additional information  
Screen sizes and disc formats  
Resetting the player  
DVD-Video discs come in several different screen aspect  
ratios, ranging from TV programs, which are generally  
4:3, to Cinema- Scope widescreen movies, with an  
aspect ratio of up to about 7:3.  
Televisions, too, come in different aspect ratios; “stan-  
dard” 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.  
Use this procedure to reset all the player’s settings to the  
factory default.  
Switch the player into standby.

When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can  
use the TV controls to select how the picture is pre-  
sented. Your TV may offer various zoom and stretch  
options; see the instructions that came with your TV for  
details.  
STANDBY/ON  
STANDBY  
Please note that some movie aspect ratios are wider than  
16:9, so even though you have a widescreen TV, these  
discs will still play in a “letter box” style with black bars  
at the top and bottom of the screen.  
Standard TV users  
If you have a standard TV, the “TV Screen” setting  
Box)” or “4:3 (Pan&Scan)”, depending on which you  
prefer.  
Set to “4:3 (Letter Box)”, widescreen discs are shown  
with black bars top and bottom.  
Set to “4:3 (Pan&Scan)”, widescreen discs are shown  
with the left and right sides cropped.  
Although the picture looks larger, you don’t actually see  
the whole picture.  
Please note that many widescreen discs override the  
player’s settings so that the disc is shown in letter box  
format regardless of the setting.  
Note:  
• Using the “16:9 (Wide)” setting with a standard 4:3  
TV, or either of the “4:3” settings with a widescreen  
TV, will result in a distorted picture.

Setting the TV system  
Titles, chapters and tracks  
The default setting of this player is “AUTO”, and unless  
you notice that the picture is distorted when playing  
some discs, you should leave it set to “AUTO”. 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 (“AUTO” , “PAL” and  
“NTSC”).  
DVD discs are generally divided into one or more titles.  
Titles may be further subdivided into chapters.

Glossary  
Analog audio  
JPEG  
An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Com-  
pare this to digital audio which can be an electrical sig-  
nal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also  
“Digital audio”.  
A file format used for still images, such as photographs  
and illustrations. JPEG files are identified by the file  
extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”. Most digital cameras use this  
format.  
Aspect ratio  
MP3  
The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conven-  
tional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost  
square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is  
almost twice as wide as it is high).  
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file  
format. Files are recognized by their file extension  
“.mp3” or “.MP3”.  
MPEG audio  
An audio format used on Video CDs and some DVD  
discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio to PCM format  
for wider compatibility with digital recorders and AV  
amplifiers. See also “PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)”.  
Digital audio  
An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During  
recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals  
(44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to-  
digital converter, generating a stream of numbers.  
MPEG video  
On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an  
analog signal based on these numbers. See also “Sam-  
pling frequency” and “Analog audio”.  
The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. Video  
CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses  
the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard.  
Dolby Digital  
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)  
Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio,  
this high quality surround system is used in many of the  
finer movie theaters around the world.  
The on-screen display shows which channels are active,  
for example showing 3/2.1. The 3 being the two front  
channels and the center channel; the 2 being the surround  
channels, and the .1 being the LFE channel.  
A system of navigating a Video CD through on-screen  
menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs  
that you would normally not watch from beginning to  
end all at once—karaoke discs, for example.  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
The most common system of encoding digital audio,  
found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a  
lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital  
and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio  
recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with  
digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS  
and MPEG audio to PCM. See also “Digital audio”.  
DRM  
DRM (digital rights management) is a type of server  
software developed to enable secure distribution of paid  
content over the web, recently incorporated by WMA  
(Windows Media Audio).  
DTS  
Regions (DVD-Video only)  
DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is  
a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has  
become a popular surround sound format for movies.  
These associate discs and players with particular areas of  
the world. This unit will only play discs that have com-  
patible region codes. You can find the region code of  
your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are  
compatible with more than one region (or all regions).  
Dynamic range  
The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds  
possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting  
lost in noise).  
Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a very  
wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like  
effects.  
Sampling frequency  
The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into  
digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the  
sound quality, but the more digital information is gener-  
ated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of  
44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements)  
per second. See also “Digital audio”.  
EXIF (Exchangeable Image File)  
A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for digital  
still cameras. Digital cameras from various manufactur-  
ers use this compressed file format which carries date,  
time and thumbnail information, as well as the picture  
data.  
WMA  
WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and refers to  
an audio compression technology developed by  
Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by  
using Windows Media Player version 8 or Windows  
Media Player for Windows XP.  
File extension  
A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type  
of file. For example, “.mp3” indicates an MP3 file.  
ISO 9660 format  
International standard for the volume and file structure  
of CD-ROM discs.
