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.

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 3, 5 or 13 ampere fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the  
fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replace-  
ment fuse has a rating of 3, 5 or 13 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.

Precautions—Continued  
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.

the remote controller may not work reliably.  
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con-  
troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert-  
ently, thereby draining the batteries.  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the  
DV-SP502/DV-SP502E is installed in a rack behind  
colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing  
the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E.  
Notes:  
• The supplied batteries should last for about six  
months, although this will vary with usage.  
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try  
replacing both batteries.  
• Don’t mix new and old batteries, or different types of  
batteries.  
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long  
time, remove the batteries to prevent possible leakage  
and corrosion.  
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obsta-  
cle between it and the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E’s  
remote control sensor.  
• Flat batteries should be removed as soon as possible to  
prevent possible leakage and corrosion.

(Supplied)  
• 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.)  
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  
switched power supply found on some amplifiers and  
AV receivers.  
1. Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT and AUDIO OUT-  
PUT ANALOG L/R jacks to a set of A/V inputs  
on your TV.  
Use the supplied AV cable (RCA), connecting the  
red and white plugs to the audio outputs and the yel-  
low plug to the video output. Make sure you match  
up the left and right audio outputs with their corre-  
sponding 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.  
If you need another pair of stereo outputs (and don’t  
need to use the multichannel analog outputs), you  
can use the FRONT/D.MIX 1 or 2 AUDIO OUTPUT  
jacks (page 22).  
2. Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC  
INLET, then plug into a power outlet.

Connecting the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E—Continued  
Note:  
ConnectingYour TV  
• Watching progressive scan video from the component  
• Connect the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E to the TV  
directly. If you connect the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E to  
a VCR, TV/VCR combination, or video selector, the  
playback picture may be distorted as DVD videos are  
copy protected.  
video outputs  
This player can output progressive scan video from the  
component video output. Compared to interlace video,  
progressive scan video effectively doubles the scan-  
ning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable,  
flicker-free image. To set up the player for use with a  
progressive scan TV, see Video Output settings on  
page 46. When the player is set to output progressive  
scan video, the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights in the  
front panel display.  
Using S Video  
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).  
Important:  
• 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  
(see page 21).  
Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same  
mark on the plug before plugging in.

This enables you to listen to surround sound.  
Connecting to an AV Receiver  
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.  
You can connect this player to yourAV receiver using the  
multichannel analog outputs or one of the digital out-  
puts. In addition to these connections, you should also  
connect the 2 channel analog outputs for compatibility  
with all discs. 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.  
Connecting the Analog Output  
Before connecting  
• When you connect the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E to the  
amplifier, be sure to turn off the power and unplug  
both units from the mains before making any connec-  
tions. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.  
• Connect the plugs securely.  
1. Connect the FRONT/D.MIX 1 or 2 AUDIO OUT-  
PUT and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on this player  
to a set of analog audio and video inputs on your  
AV receiver.  
AV receiver  
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.  
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-SP502/DV-SP502E’s analog audio outputs to theAV  
receiver.

This player has both optical and coaxial-type digital  
audio outputs for connection to an AV receiver. Connect  
whichever is convenient.  
In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also  
connecting using the stereo analog connection.  
Depending on the capabilities of your AV receiver, you  
might have to set up this player to output only digital  
audio in a compatible format. See Digital Audio Out set-  
tings on page 46 and refer to the operating instructions  
that came with your AV receiver.  
The diagram shows standard video connections, but you  
can alternatively use the S Video or component video  
connections if they’re available.  
2. Connect the AV receiver’s video output to a video  
input on your TV.  
You can use the SCART AV connector, or the S  
Video or component video jacks to connect to the AV  
receiver if you prefer.

DVD disc menus  
With the exception of DVD-Audio and SACD discs,  
when you stop playback of a disc, RESUME is shown in  
the display indicating that you can resume playback  
again from that point.  
Many DVD-Video and DVD-Audio 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 slideshows. 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 the disc tray is not opened, the next time you start play-  
back the display shows RESUME and playback resumes  
from the resume point. (If you want to clear the resume  
point, press (stop) while RESUME is displayed.)  
If you take a VCD out of the player after stopping play-  
back, the last 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. For DVD-Video  
discs (except VR mode DVD-RW), the player stores the  
play position of the last five discs. When one of these  
discs is next loaded, you can resume playback.

About DivX VOD content  
Playing DivX VOD content  
In order to play DivX VOD (video on demand) content  
on this player, you first need to register the player with  
your DivX VOD content provider. You do this by gener-  
ating a DivX VOD registration code, which you submit  
to your provider.  
Some DivX VOD content may only be playable a fixed  
number of times. When you load a disc containing this  
type of DivX VOD content, the remaining number of  
plays is shown on-screen and you then have the option of  
playing the disc (thereby using up one of the remaining  
plays), or stopping. If you load a disc that contains  
expired DivX VOD content (for example, content that  
has zero remaining plays), the message Rental Expired is  
displayed.  
Important:  
• DivX VOD content is protected by a DRM (Digital  
Rights Management) system. This restricts playback  
of content to specific, registered devices.  
If your DivX VOD content allows an unlimited number  
of plays, then you may load the disc into your player and  
play the content as often as you like, and no message will  
be displayed.  
• If you load a disc that contains DivXVOD content not  
authorized for your player, the messageAuthorization  
Error is displayed and the content will not play.  
• Resetting the player (as described in Resetting the  
player in the main Operating Instructions) will not  
cause you to lose your registration code.

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  
Range Control) to on can help by bringing up the quieter  
sounds, while controlling loud peaks.

Notes:  
• Even if you set Audio Output Mode to 5.1 Channel,  
you’ll only get sound from all speakers when playing  
a 5.1 channel multichannel disc.  
• When set to 5.1 Channel, only the front left/right  
channels are output from the AUDIO OUT (2ch)  
jacks. Change to 2 Channel if you want to listen to  
downmixed stereo audio (for example, because you  
are listening through the TV’s built-in speakers).  
• When set to 5.1 Channel there is no digital output  
when playing DVD-Audio.  
• If you set to 2 Channel, Dolby Digital, DTS and  
MPEG audio is mixed down to two channels so you  
still hear all the audio recorded on the disc. With DTS  
encoded audio, you can choose how the signal is  
downmixed to PCM audio. See DTS Downmix above  
to change the downmix setting.  
ENTER  
• You can see the effect of your changes  
in the room graphic on the right of the  
screen.  
• Except for the subwoofer, you can set  
speaker size to Large or Small. If the  
main speaker cone in the speaker is  
12cm or more, set to Large, otherwise  
set to Small (or Off if you don’t have  
that speaker).  
• If you set the front L and R speakers to  
Small, the center and surround speak-  
ers are automatically set to Small and  
the subwoofer to On.  
• The subwoofer can only be set to On or  
Off.  
• Some DVD-Audio discs don’t allow downmixing of  
audio. These discs always output multi-channel audio  
regardless of the setting made here.

Screen sizes and disc formats  
Setting the TV system (Not North  
American model)  
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.  
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 toAUTO. If you expe-  
rience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV sys-  
tem 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).  
Widescreen TV users  
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting  
(page 46) of this player should be set to “16:9 (Wide)”.  
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.

ticular areas of the world. See DVD-Video regions on  
page 55 for more information.  
A multi-channel audio encoding system  
developed by Dolby Laboratories that enables far more  
audio to be stored on a disc than PCM encoding. See also  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation).  
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. CD is 44.1 kHz; DVD can be up to 96  
kHz. See also Digital audio.  
DRM  
DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection is a  
technology designed to prevent unauthorized copying by  
restricting playback, etc. of material on devices other the

FAQ  
My DV-SP502/DV-SP502E switches on but there is nothing displayed on my TV.  
• Make sure that the TV is set to the correct video input (not a TV channel). For example, if you connected this player  
to the VIDEO 1 inputs on your TV, switch your TV to VIDEO 1.  
After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds!  
• Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your player. The region number should be printed on the disc; check it  
against the region number of the player (which you can find on the rear panel). See also “DVD-Video regions” on  
page 55. If the region number is OK, it may be that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc and look for signs of  
damage. See also “Handling Discs” on page 10.  
Why won’t the disc I loaded play?  
• First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that it’s clean and undamaged. See “Cleaning  
Discs” on page 10 for information on cleaning discs.  
If a disc loaded correctly won’t play, it’s probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-ROM. See  
“Supported Discs” on page 9 for more on disc compatibility.  
I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play  
some discs?  
• Some movie formats are such that even when played on a widescreen TV, black bars are necessary at the top and  
bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction.  
I have a standard (4:3)TV and set the player to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so why  
do I still get black bars top and bottom with some discs?  
• Some discs override the display preferences of the player, so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those discs  
will still be shown in letter box format. This is not a malfunction.  
My AV receiver is definitely compatible with 96/88.2kHz Linear PCM audio, but it doesn’t seem to work  
with this player. What’s wrong?  
• For digital copy-protection purposes, some 96/88.2kHz DVD discs only output digital audio downsampled to 48/  
44.1kHz. This is not a malfunction. To fully take advantage of the high sampling rate audio, connect the analog audio  
outputs to your amplifier/receiver.  
Why can’t I hear SACD audio through the digital outputs?  
• SACD audio is only available through the analog outputs. This is not a malfunction. Some DVD-Audio discs too only  
output audio through the analog outputs.  
Is it better to listen to DVD-Audio discs through the analog outputs?  
• Some DVD-Audio discs do not output anything through the digital outputs, and multichannel discs are downmixed  
to stereo for the digital output. In addition, high sampling rate DVD-Audio discs (higher than 96kHz) automatically  
downsample audio output from the digital outputs. Using the multichannel analog audio outputs for DVD-Audio have  
none of these limitations.  
My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then suddenly stops!  
• The disc may have been illegally copied.

• The TV Screen setting in the Initial Settings menu is incorrect. See page 54 for how to set it correctly for your TV/  
monitor.  
Picture disturbance during playback or the picture is dark.  
• This player is compatible with Macro-Vision System copy guard. Some discs include a copy prevention signal, and  
when this type of disc is played back, stripes etc., may appear on some sections of the picture depending on the TV.  
This is not a malfunction.  
• Due to the player’s copy protection circuits, connection of this device through a VCR or an AV selector may prevent  
recording or cause picture problems. This is not a malfunction.  
No audio, or audio is distorted.  
• No audio is output during slow motion playback or when scanning discs other than audio CDs and SACDs.  
• Some DVD discs do not output digital audio: Switch your amplifier to the player’s analog outputs.  
• Check that the disc is free from dust and dirt, and that it is not damaged (page 10).  
• Check that all interconnects are firmly inserted.  
• Check that the plugs and terminals are free of dirt, oxide, etc. and clean if necessary. Also check the cable for damage.  
• Make sure the player’s output is not connected to the amplifier’s phono (turntable) inputs.  
• Check your amplifier/receiver’s settings (volume, input function, speaker settings, etc.).

Troubleshooting—Continued  
The analog audio is OK, but there appears to be no digital audio signal.  
• Make sure that the Digital Out setting is set to On (page 46).  
• Check that the Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG out settings (page 46) are suitable for your amplifier/receiver/check  
the instruction manual that came with your amplifier/receiver.  
• SACDs and some DVD-Audio discs do not output digital audio. Listen through the player’s analog audio outputs.  
Noticeable difference in DVD and CD volume.  
• This is due to differences in the audio format and is not a malfunction.  
Cannot play multichannel audio  
• Make sure that Audio Output Mode is set to 5.1 Channel (page 52).  
• Check that the Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG Out settings (page 46) are suitable for your amplifier/receiver—check  
the instruction manual that came with your amplifier/receiver.  
• DVD-Audio and SACDs do not output multichannel digital audio. Listen through the player’s analog outputs.  
• Check that the settings in the Speaker Installation screen are correct (page 52).  
• Check the audio options available from the disc menu.  
Cannot listen to highsampling rate audio through the digital output.  
• Make sure that Linear PCM Out is set to Downsample Off (page 46).  
• As a copy-protection measure, some DVDs do not output 96kHz audio. In this case, even if set to Downsample Off,  
the player automatically outputs the audio at 48 kHz. This is not a malfunction.  
Cannot output 192kHz or 176.4kHz digital audio.  
• The player does not output digital audio at these sampling rates. The digital output is automatically downsampled.  
Cannot output 96kHz or 88.2kHz digital audio.  
• Check that Linear PCM Out is set to Downsample Off (page 46).  
• Some discs are digital copy protected and do not output high sampling rate digital audio. In this case the output is  
automatically downsampled.  
No DTS audio output.  
• If this unit is connected to a non-DTS compatible amplifier or decoder using a digital audio cable, set DTS Out to  
DTS > PCM (page 46). If you do not do this, noise will be output when you play a DTS disc.  
• If this unit is connected to a DTS-compatible amplifier or decoder using a digital audio cable, check the amplifier  
settings, and that the cable is properly connected.  
Audio mix does not sound right or sounds incomplete (for example, inaudible dialog).  
• Make sure that Audio Output Mode is set to 2 Channel if you’ve connected to the stereo inputs on your amplifier or  
TV (page 52).

Troubleshooting—Continued  
Remote Controller  
Buttons on the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E work OK but those on the remote controller don’t?  
• There are no batteries in the remote controller.  
Install new batteries (page 11).  
• The batteries are flat.  
Replace with new batteries (page 11).  
• The batteries are installed incorrectly.  
Check the batteries and correct as necessary (page 11).  
• You’re not pointing the remote controller at the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E’s remote sensor.  
Point the remote controller at the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E’s remote sensor (page 11).  
• You’re too far away from the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E.  
Use the remote controller closer to the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E (page 11). The remote controller has a range of  
approximately 16 ft (5 meters).  
• A strong light source is interfering with the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E’s remote sensor.  
Make sure that the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E is not subjected to direct sunshine or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Relo-  
cate if necessary.  
• If the DV-SP502/DV-SP502E is installed in a cabinet with colored glass doors, the remote controller may not work  
reliably when the doors are closed.  
Open the doors, or use a cabinet without colored glass.  
The DV-SP502/DV-SP502E contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situa-  
tions, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely even  
that this should happen, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in  
again.
