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
• 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.
Moisture condensation may damage this unit.
Read the following carefully:
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:
• 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.
— 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
packaging 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
prolonged 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-SP501
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-SP501’s optical digital connectors have a shut-
ter-type cover that opens when an optical plug is
inserted, and closes when it’s removed. Push the plug in
all the way.

Using SCART (European models only)
ConnectingYour TV
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.
• 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.
• Use a SCART cable (supplied) to connect the AV
CONNECTOR (RGB) - TV/AV Receiver to an AV
input on your TV.
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).

Connecting to an AV Receiver
Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound
from the TV speakers with the connections on page 19,
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.

Many DVD-Video discs contain menus from which you
can select what you want to watch. They may give access
to additional features, such as subtitle and audio lan-
guage selection, or special features such as slideshows.
See the disc packaging for details.
Some Video CDs have menus from which you can
choose what you want to watch. These are called PBC
(Playback control) menus.
You can play a PBC Video CD without having to navi-
gate the PBC menu by starting playback using a number
button to select a track, rather than the
(play) button.
Sometimes DVD-Video menus are displayed automati-
cally when you start playback; others only appear when
you press MENU or TOP MENU.

Chapter 1-3
Most of the features described in this chapter make use
of on-screen displays. For an explanation of how to nav-
igate these, see “Using the on-screen displays” on
page 24.
Many of the functions covered in this chapter apply to
DVD discs, Video CDs, CDs and WMA/MP3/JPEG
discs, although the exact operation of some varies
slightly with the kind of disc loaded.
Some DVD discs restrict the use of some functions (ran-
dom or repeat, for example). This is not a malfunction.
When playing Video CDs, some of the functions are not
available during PBC playback. If you want to use them,
start the disc playing using a number button to select a
track.

Notes:
Audio DRC
• Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio
sources.
• Audio DRC is only effective through the digital output
when “Digital Out” (see page 44) is set to “On”, and
“Dolby Digital Out” (see page 44) is set to “Dolby
Digital > PCM”.
■ Default setting: Off
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 con-
trolling loud peaks.
• The effect of Audio DRC depends on your speakers
and AV receiver settings.
How much of a difference you hear depends on the mate-
rial you’re listening to. If the material doesn’t have wide
variations in volume, you may not notice much change.

Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video
effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture,
resulting in a very stable, flicker-free image. Progressive
scan video is available only from the component video

Changing your password
Some DVD-Video discs feature a Parental Lock level. If
your player is set to a lower level than the disc, the disc
won’t play. This gives you some control about what your
children watch on your DVD player.
To change your password, confirm your existing pass-
word then enter a new one.
Select “Password Change”.
Some discs also support the Country code feature. The
player does not play certain scenes on these discs,
depending on the Country code you set.
Before you can set the Parental Lock level or the Country
code you must register a password.
As the password owner, you can change the Parental
Lock level or Country code whenever you like. You can
also change the password.

compatible with each setting (“AUTO” , “PAL” and
“NTSC”).

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 manuafctur-
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.
