6. Handling Notes

• If you need to transport this unit, use the original

packaging to pack it how it was when you origi-

nally bought it.

• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit

for a long time, because they may leave marks on

the case.

not work properly the next time you turn it on, so

be sure to use it occasionally.

2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-

serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact

your Onkyo dealer.

3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all

over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft

cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild deter-

gent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards

with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thin-

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-SP404/DV-SP404E is installed in a rack behind

colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing

the DV-SP404/DV-SP404E.

Notes:

• 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.

• Flat batteries should be removed as soon as possible to

prevent possible leakage and corrosion.

• The remote controller will not work if there’s an

obstacle between it and the DV-SP404/DV-SP404E’s

remote control sensor.

Basic Setup

The setup described here is a basic setup that allows you to play discs using just the supplied AV cable (RCA/phono).

In this setup, stereo audio is played through the speakers in your TV.

VIDEO IN

ANALOG

INPUT

To power outlet

Important:

Notes:

• 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

set the “Component Out” setting (page 44) to “Pro-

gressive.”

• 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 “OFF” message to disap-

pear 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 OUT and AUDIO OUT

ANALOG L/R jacks to a set of A/V inputs on

your TV.

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 page 20 if you want to use a component, S-

Video cable or SCART cable for the video connec-

tion.

2. Oceanian and European models:

Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC

INLET, then plug into a power outlet.

North American model:

Connect the power cord to power outlet.

Switching the video output to interlace

using the front panel controls

Switch the player to standby then, using the front panel

controls, press STANDBY/ON while pressing

switch the player back to Interlace.

• If the player is connected using HDMI, disconnect the

HDMI cable before resetting the player to interlace

output. (If left connected, the HDMI output resolution

will be reset to its default—see Resetting the output

resolution to the default setting with HDMI connec-

tion on page 21.)

STANDBY/ON

Note:

• 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 Inter-

lace.

Notes for North American model:

• When Component Out (page 44) is set to Progressive,

there is no video output from the VIDEO OUT (com-

posite) and S VIDEO OUT jacks.

• If you want to display video on more than one monitor

simultaneously, make sure the player is set to Inter-

lace.

Compatibility of this player with

progressive-scan and high-deﬁnition TVs

This player is compatible with progressive video Macro

Vision System Copy Guard.

Consumers should note that not all high-deﬁnition tele-

vision sets are fully compatible with this product and

may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case

of 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is recom-

mended that the user switch the connection to the “stan-

dard deﬁnition” output (Interlace). If there are questions

regarding our TV set compatibility with this model,

please contact our customer service center.

Note:

ConnectingYour TV

• To set up the player for use with a progressive scan TV,

• Connect the DVD Player to the TV directly. If you

connect the DVD Player to a VCR, TV/VCR combi-

nation, or video selector, the playback picture may be

distorted as DVD videos are copy protected.

see “Video Out settings – Component Out” on

page 44.

Using SCART (European model only)

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 pic-

ture, so there’s no need to connect up the AUDIO OUT

L/R and VIDEO OUT jacks.

Using S-Video (not European model)

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 (not supplied) to connect the S

VIDEO OUT to an S-Video input on your TV (or

monitor or AV receiver).

• Use a SCART cable (not 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.

S VIDEO IN

Using Component Video

You can use the component video output instead of the

standard video out jack to connect this player to your TV

(or other equipment).

This should give you a better quality picture than an S-

Video connection.

• Use a component video cable (not supplied) to con-

nect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a com-

ponent video input on your TV, monitor or AV

receiver.

SCART

This connector can output composite 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 quality

settings. See page 44 for how to change the video output.

Using HDMI

About HDMI

If you have a HDMI equipped monitor or display, you

can connect it to this player using a commercially avail-

able HDMI cable.

The HDMI connector outputs uncompressed digital

video, as well as almost every kind of digital audio that

the player is compatible with, including DVD-Video,

Video CD, CD and MP3.

• Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT inter-

connect on this player to an HDMI interconnect on a

HDMI-compatible monitor.

HDMI (High Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface) supports

both video and audio on a single digital connection for

use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and otherAV

components. HDMI was developed to provide the tech-

nologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection

(HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one

speciﬁcation. HDCP is used to protect digital content

transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays.

HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced,

or high-deﬁnition video plus standard to multi-channel

surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncom-

pressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes

per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead

of several cables and connectors), and communication

between the AV source and AV components such as

DTVs.

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Deﬁnition Multimedia

Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of

Resetting the output resolution to the default setting

with HDMI connection

Switch the player to standby then, using the front panel

HDMI-compatible display

controls, press STANDBY/ON while pressing

switch the player back to 576P/480P.

• The arrow on the cable connector body should be face

up for correct alignment with the connector on the

player.

STANDBY/ON

Notes:

• The player has been designed to be compliant with

HDMI (High Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface).

Depending on the component you have connected,

using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal

transfers.

• When you change the component connected to the

HDMI output, you will also need to change the HDMI

settings to match the new component (see HDMI Out

on page 43, HDMI Resolution on page 44 and HDMI

Color on page 44 to do this).

However, the settings for each component are then

stored in memory (for up to 2 components).

• The HDMI connection is compatible with 44.1 kHz/

48 kHz, 16 bit/20 bit/24 bit 2 channel linear PCM sig-

nals, as well as Doldy Digital, DTS and MPEG audio

bitstream.

This enables you to listen to surround sound.

Connecting to an AV Receiver

For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (supplied)

to connect the “COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT”

jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.

For an optical connection (Oceanian model only), use an

optical cable (not supplied) to connect the “OPTICAL

DIGITALAUDIO OUT” jack to an optical input on your

AV receiver.

Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound

from the TV speakers with the connections on page 18,

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 OUT L/R and

VIDEO OUT jacks on this player to a set of ana-

log 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.

DVD

Oceanian model has both coaxial and optical digital

jacks; use whichever is convenient.

NorthAmerican and European models have only coaxial

digital jack.

^FRONTL

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-SP404/DV-SP404E’s analog audio outputs to theAV

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).

The diagram shows standard video connections, but you

can alternatively use the S-Video or component video

connections if they’re available.

1. Connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack on this

player to a digital input on your AV receiver.

3. Connect the AV receiver’s video output to a video

input on your TV.

Tip:

• You usually have to connect the same kind of video

cable between your DVD player and AV receiver, and

between your AV receiver and TV.

Hint:

• 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 50.

→ 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 Taking care of your

player and 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 undam-

aged. See Taking care of your player and 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-Audio or DVD-ROM. See Supported Discs

on page 8 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 neces-

sary 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.

• I’ve connected to a HDMI compatible component but

I can’t get any signal and the front panel HDMI indi-

cator won’t light!

→ Make sure that you’ve selected this player as the

HDMI input in the settings for the component

you’re using. You may need to refer to the instruc-

tion manual of the component to do this. See Con-

necting using HDMI on page 21 for more on

HDMI compatibility.

• There’s no picture from the HDMI output!

→ ^{This player cannot display pictures from DVI}

compatible sources. See Connecting using HDMI

on page 21 for more on HDMI compatibility.

Make sure the resolution on this player matches

that of the component you have connected using

HDMI. See HDMI Resolution on page 44 to

change the HDMI resolution.

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.

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.

Using the front panel buttons,hold

down the

button and press

Widescreen TV users

STANDBY/ON to switch the player

back on.

All the player’s settings are now reset.

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting

(page 44) 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.

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.

Setting the TV system (Not North

American model)

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”).

Standard TV users

If you have a standard TV, the “TV Screen” setting

(page 44) of this player should be set to “4:3 (Letter

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.

STANDBY/ON

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.

If the player is on, pressSTANDBY/

ON to switch it to standby.

Using the front panel controls,

hold down

then press

STANDBY/ON to switch theTV sys-

tem.

The TV system changes as follows:

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:

AUTO

PAL

• 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.

• You have to switch the player into standby (press

All DVD-Video discs carry a region mark on the case

somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the world

the disc is compatible with. Your DVD player also has a

region mark, which you can ﬁnd on the rear panel. Discs

from incompatible regions will not play in this player.

Discs marked “ALL” will play in any player.

Glossary

Analog audio

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File)

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 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.

Aspect ratio

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).

File extension

A tag added to the end of a ﬁlename to indicate the type

of ﬁle. For example, “.mp3” indicates an MP3 ﬁle.

HDMI

Digital audio

HDMI (High-Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface) is a high-

speed digital interface which has the capability to sup-

port standard, enhanced, or highdeﬁnition video plus

standard to multichannel surround-sound audio on a sin-

gle digital connection. HDMI features include uncom-

pressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes

per second and communication between the AV source

and AV devices such as DTVs.

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.

On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an

analog signal based on these numbers. See also “Sam-

pling frequency” and “Analog audio”.

ISO 9660 format

DivX

International standard for the volume and ﬁle structure

of CD-ROM discs.

DivX is a media technology created by DivX,

Inc. DivX media ﬁles contain compressed video. DivX

ﬁles can also include advanced media features like

menus, subtitles, and alternate audiotracks.

JPEG

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.

Dolby Digital

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.

MP3

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio ﬁle

format. Files are recognized by their ﬁle extension

“.mp3” or “.MP3”.

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 sur-

round channels, and the .1 being the LFE channel.

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)”.

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).

MPEG video

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.

DTS

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.

PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)

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.

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.

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”.

Glossary—Continued

Progressive scan video

All the lines that make up a video picture are updated in

one pass (compared to interlace which takes two passes

to update the whole picture).

Regions (DVD-Video only)

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).

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”.

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.
