Many DVD discs are encoded with copy protection. Because of this, you should only connect your  
DVD player directly to your TV, not to a VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture

To Play External Digital/Analog Equipment  
(About the cooling fan)  
For safety, observe the following carefully.  
Press AUX on the remote control to select DIGITAL IN, AUX1, or AUX2.  
Make sure there is good ventilation around the center unit. Poor  
ventilation could overheat and cause damage.  
DO NOT block the cooling fan and the ventilation openings or  
holes. (If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat  
may not be able to escape.)  
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the center unit to  
prevent abnormal temperature inside the center unit, thus assuring  
normal operation. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to  
supply external cool air to the inside of the center unit when the  
internal temperature exceeds the specified limit.  
Press Function on the main unit to select DIGITAL IN, AUX1, or AUX2.  
Each time the button is pressed the mode switches as follows: FM AM DVD ↔

Before Using the DVD Player  
P.SCAN(Progressive Scan) Function  
Unlike a regular Interlace Scan in which two fields of picture information are alternated to  
create the entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses  
one field of information (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed  
picture without visible scan lines. To enjoy a progressive scan video, connect a TV or  
monitor that supports a progressive scan input to this device.  
Your DVD player is capable of playing DVD, VCD, and CD discs.  
User instructions may vary depending on the type of disc. Read the instructions  
carefully before use.

What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?  
Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)  
Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)  
TV Broadcast System  
This device is designed to work with the NTSC video format.  
For normal playback, the video format a DVD disc is recorded in must  
coincide with your TV's video format.  
In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two  
interlaced fields (odd and even), where each field  
contains every other horizontal line in the frame.  
The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and  
then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating  
gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame.  
One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains  
two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are  
displayed every 1/60th of a second each.  
The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of  
video consecutively down the screen, line by line.  
As opposed to the interlaced scanning process by which a  
video image is drawn in a series of passes, you get an  
entire image drawn at one time.  
The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing  
with moving objects. A camera that has the ability to  
capture moving objects is called a "full frame shutter  
camera".  
The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing  
a still object.

MP3-CD Playback  
This system has a built-in MP3 decoder.  
You can play back MP3 tracks (files)recorded on CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and CD-ROMs.  
Operations Using the On-Screen Display  
Turn on your TV when playing back an MP3 disc.  
What is MP3? MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3.  
MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*). That means,by using MP3  
format, one CD-R or CD-RW can contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD.  
When the loaded MP3 disc is recognized, the following  
on-screen display appears on the TV screen.  
(The contents of this on-screen display vary according to  
the disc the way MP3 tracks were recorded on the  
disc.)

CD-R/RW playback compatibility  
It is recommended you turn on your TV when playing back an MP3-CD.  
Your DVD player can also play CD-R and CD-  
1
RW discs recorded in digital audio format.  
When recording your own CD-R or CD-RW  
discs, make sure that the recording session is  
properly terminated, or they will not be  
playable. (Depending on disc properties and  
recording quality, some CD-R/RW may not be  
playable.)  
Press the Open/Close( ) button  
to load a disc.  
CD-RW has a lower reflection rate than CD-R  
media and consequently it will take a longer to  
read CD-R discs.  
CD-RW discs recorded at high speed tend to  
be difficult for the DVD player to read. If the  
recording speed for the CD-RW disc is not  
predetermined, write it at low speed.

Press the Play/Pause(

CD-R MP3 DISC  
Only CD-R discs with MP3 files in ISO 9660 or Joliet format can be played.  
The file name of the MP3 file may not be longer than 8 characters and should contain no blank spaces or special  
characters.  
Use discs recorded with a compression/decompression data rate greater than 128Kbps.  
Only files with the ".mp3" and ".MP3" extensions can be played.  
Only a consecutively written Multisession disc can be played. If there is a blank segment in the Multisession disc,  
the disc can be played only up to the blank segment.  
If the disc is not closed, it will take longer to begin playback and not all of the recorded files may be played.  
For files encoded in Variable Bit Rate (VBR) format, i.e. files encoded in both low bit rate and high bit rate (e.g.,  
32Kbps ~ 320Kbps), the sound may skip during playback.

System Setup  
Adjusting the TV Aspect Ratio (Screen Size)  
The horizontal to vertical screen size ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while that of wide screen and high  
definition TVs is 16:9. This ratio is called the aspect ratio. When playing DVDs recorded in different screen  
size, you should adjust the aspect ratio to fit your TV or monitor.  
You can use the DVD player's Setup function to select the TV screen ratio,  
rating limit, or digital output mode.  
For a standard TV, select either "4:3LB" or "4:3PS" option according to  
personal preference. Select "16:9" if you have a wide screen TV.

Dolby Pro Logic II  
Subwoofer Speaker  
Dolby Pro-Logic II is a new multi-channel playback format developed by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic  
steering technology and offering improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits.  
Dolby Pro Logic II can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround (  
) but also  
regular stereo sources into five channels (front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) to achieve  
surround sound.  
Whereas with conventional Dolby Pro Logic the surround channel playback frequency band was limited, Dolby Pro  
Logic II offers a wider band range.  
The display changes depending on the current audio output  
mode (DSP, PRO LOGIC, 3-STEREO, STEREO, etc.).  
In addition, the surround channels were monaural (the surround left and right channels were the same) with previous  
Dolby Pro Logic, but with Dolby Pro Logic II they are stereo.  
Test Tone  
* Sources recorded in Dolby Surround  
These are sources in which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of signals  
using Dolby Surround encoding technology.  
Speaker Setting Methods  
Press the Test Tone button.  
Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and video cassettes to be played on  
stereo VCRs, as well as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts and cable TV.  
Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic makes it possible to achieve multi-channel surround playback.  
The signals can also be played on ordinary stereo equipment, in which case they provide normal stereo sound.

DSP(Digital Signal Processor)  
Modes  
To increase Effect level  
DSP modes have been designed to simulate different acoustic environments.  
The sound heard in a hall, theater, pavilion, dance club, or live club consists of direct  
and indirect sound early reflections and reflections from behind.  
Effect  
Direct sounds reach the listener directly without any reflection.  
Indirect sounds are delayed by the distance of the ceiling and walls.  
These indirect sounds are an important element of the acoustic surround effect.  
To increase Effect level  
Press the DSP/DPL II Effect button.  
The effect level can be set in steps from 1 to 4 EFFECT1 ↔  
EFFECT2 EFFECT3 OFF(DEFAULT).  
Each time the button is pressed the selection moves to the next  
effect.  
What is a Effect?  
This sets the strength of  
the DSP mode.  
The higher the number, the stronger the DSP surround effect will be.
