Introduction  
Notes on handling  
Important cautions  
Safety precautions  
Installation of the unit  
Avoid moisture, water and dust  
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot  
nor too cold (between 5˚C and 35˚C, 41˚F and 95˚F).  
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.  
• Do not use the player in a place subject to vibrations.  
Do not place the unit in moist or dusty places.  
Avoid high temperatures  
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or place it  
near a heating device.  
Power cord  
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!  
• A small amount of power (3.0 watts) is always  
consumed while the power cord is connected to the  
wall outlet.  
When you’re away  
When away on travel or otherwise for an extended  
period of time, remove the plug from the wall outlet.  
• When unplugging the player from the wall outlet,  
always pull the plug, not the power cord.  
Do not insert foreign objects into the unit  
Do not insert wires, hairpins, coins, etc. into the unit.  
To prevent malfunction of the unit  
Do not block the vents  
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If  
anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and  
consult your dealer.  
• Do not insert any metallic object into the unit.  
• Do not use any non-standard shape disc available on  
the market, because it may damage the unit.  
• Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or paste on it,  
because damage to the unit may result.  
Blocking the vents may damage the unit.  
Care of the cabinet  
When cleaning the unit, use a soft cloth and follow the  
relevant instructions on the use of chemically-coated  
cloths. Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic  
solvents and disinfectants. These may cause  
deformation or discoloring.  
Note about copyright laws  
If water gets inside the unit  
• Please check the copyright laws in your country  
before recording from DVD VIDEO, Audio CD, and  
Video CD discs. Recording of copyrighted material  
may infringe copyright laws.  
Turn off the power switch and remove the plug from  
the wall outlet, then call the store where you made  
your purchase. Using the unit in this state may cause a  
fire or electrical shock.  
Note about the copyguard system  
• The DVD VIDEO disc is protected by the copyguard  
system. When you connect the unit to your VCR  
directly, the copyguard system activates and the  
picture may not be played back correctly.

About discs  
Playable disc types  
Playable and non-playable disc types are as follows:  
Playable discs  
DVD VIDEO  
Video CD  
Audio CD  
CD-R  
CD-RW  
The DVD VIDEO Logo is a trademark.  
• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded with the audio CD format can be played back, though some may not be played  
back because of the disc characteristics or recording condition.  
• DVD VIDEO players and DVD VIDEO discs have their own Region Code numbers. This unit only can play back DVD  
VIDEO discs whose Region Code numbers include “1”.  
Examples of playable DVD VIDEO discs:  
1 2  
3 4  
ALL  
1 2  
1
This unit accommodates the NTSC television system and can playback discs recorded with the NTSC system. Note  
that the unit cannot playback discs recorded with the PAL system.  
Non-playable discs  
DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD AUDIO, DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-ROM, PHOTO CD, CD-EXTRA, CD-G, CD-TEXT  
• Playing back discs listed as “Non-playable discs” above may generate noise and damage speakers.  
• This unit can play back audio recorded in CD-G, CD-EXTRA and CD-TEXT discs.  
Disc structure  
A DVD VIDEO disc is comprised of “titles,” while an Audio CD, Video CD is comprised of “tracks.” Each title may be  
divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a DVD VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own  
title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO karaoke disc, each song usually has  
its own title number and does not have chapters. In general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in  
the same title has continuity.  
(Example: DVD VIDEO disc)  
Title 1  
Title 2

Getting started  
To connect to audio equipment with a digital input  
You can enhance the sound quality by connecting the unit’s DIGITAL OUT to the digital input of an amplifier, DAT or  
MD by using an optional digital cable (the XV-521BK/523GD/525BK provides both the optical and coaxial jacks while  
the XV-421BK only provides the coaxial jack). The digital audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If you  
connect the unit to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder by using an optional digital  
cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.  
When you make the digital connection, also make the analog connection, because, depending on the disc type, no  
audio may be reproduced from the DIGITAL OUT.  
For XV-521BK/523GD/525BK  
When using the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack, remove  
the protection cap. Do not lose the removed cap.  
When the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack is not used, fix  
the protection cap into the jack.

“DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT” on page 36.  
• With the digital connection, the unit’s settings for COMPRESSION and DOWN MIX in the AUDIO page of the preference display  
are invalid. Settings for these items must be made from the decoder.  
To connect the power cord  
When all the audio/video connections have been made, insert the smaller plug of the supplied AC power cord to the  
unit’s AC IN connector, then insert the other end to the wall outlet. Make sure that plugs are inserted firmly. The  
STANDBY indicator lights and setup is completed.

• Disconnect the power cord before cleaning the unit.  
• Disconnect the power cord before moving the unit.  
• Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands.  
• Do not pull the power cord when disconnecting it, as this may damage the cord and cause fire, electric shock, or  
other accidents.  
Caution  
• Do not damage, alter, twist, or pull the power cord, as this may cause fire, electric shock, or other accidents.  
To prevent any accidents or damages caused by an unsuitable AC power cord, only use the supplied power cord. If

NOTES  
• The unit does not provide the DTS decoding function.  
• When playing a DVD VIDEO or Audio CD disc with DTS,  
use a DTS decoder to get correct signals from your  
speakers. Never use the unit's analog output jacks, which  
output incorrect signals that may damage your speakers.  
If you connect the analog outputs and digital outputs  
simultaneously, be sure to select the source of the  
amplifier correctly, or set the level control of the amplifier  
connected to the analog outputs to minimum.

Additional information  
Notes for connection  
If you connect a DVD player to a receiver via AV COMPU LINK in a system including a Dolby digital decoder, some  
functions may not be performed automatically.  
The AV COMPU LINK terminal on some televisions indicates “II.” Do not connect the terminal indicating “II”  
with the AV COMPU LINK terminal on a receiver. If connected, the system will not work correctly.  
Connect the AUDIO OUT jacks of the DVD player to the audio input jacks of a receiver that indicating “DVD.”  
Otherwise, the system will not work correctly.  
There may be no description about connections to a DVD player in the instruction manual of a television or VCR.  
However a television or VCR with AV COMPU LINK terminals indicating “II” or “EX” can be connected to a DVD  
player.  
Operation  
You can enjoy pictures and/or sound by just putting a source component (which plays back the pictures and/or sound  
such as a DVD player or VCR) into play mode. You do not have to operate the TV and receiver including not having to  
perform power switching.  
Turn on the main power of the television.  
1
Insert a disc into the source component.  
2
Press PLAY of the source component.  
3
The following actions are performed automatically:  
Turning on the power for the television.  
• Setting the source of the television to the external input (VIDEO-1 or VIDEO-2).  
Turning on the power for the receiver.  
• Setting the source of the receiver to the component which has started playback.  
Care and handling of discs  
How to handle discs  
When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc.  
Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged.  
If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images  
and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc  
may cause the player to malfunction.  
Label side  
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.  
Storage  
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases,  
they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place  
where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!  
Maintenance of discs  
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc,  
wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards.  
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water.  
Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.  
CAUTION  
Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to  
industry standards.)  
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.
