About the scanning mode
For XV-N310B/XV-N312S/XV-N315B/
XV-N316S only
Depending on the material source format, DVD VIDEO discs
can be classified into two types; film source and video source
(note that some DVD VIDEO discs contain both film source
and video source).
When the player plays back a film source material,
uninterlaced progressive output signals are created using the
original information. When a video source material is played
back, the player interleaves lines between the interlaced lines
on each to create the interpolated picture and outputs as the
progressive signal.
You can enjoy picture of high-quality color reproduction by
connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to
your TV.
NOTES
• Connect “Y” to “Y,” “PB” to “PB” (CB), “PR” to “PR” (CR) correctly.
• The video output jack, scart connector and component jacks
cannot be used at the same time.
• If your TV has component video input jacks of BNC type, use an
adapter which converts a pin jack to a BNC jack (not supplied).
Progressive scan video playback available
In the progressive scanning mode, you can enjoy high quality
picture with less flickers when the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
jacks are connected to a TV or monitor that supports the
progressive video input.

NOTES
You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the
player’s DIGITAL OUT (COAXIAL) jack to a digital input of an
amplifier, etc., using a or coaxial digital cable. The digital audio
signal on a disc will be transferred directly from the player. If the
connected digital audio equipment is a Dolby Digital or DTS
decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder, you can enjoy
high-quality surround sound.
• It is not recommended to use the digital jacks for dubbing.
When recording the sounds (DVD VIDEO, SVCD, Video CD or
Audio CD) played back on the player, record them through the
analog jacks.
• Depending on the disc, no signal may be output from the
DIGITAL OUT. Make an analog connection in this case.
• Set [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] in the [AUDIO] preference
display correctly according to the connected digital audio
equipment. If setting made for [DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT] is
incorrect, loud noise may be generated causing damage to
the speakers (see page 27).

page 27).
About On-screen guide icons
You may see the following icons displayed over the picture.
They have the following meanings.
When the resume mode is “OFF”
Playback always starts from the beginning.
: Appears at the beginning of playback mode.
: Appears at the beginning of pause mode.
: Appears at the beginning of fast forward/backward
playback with the current speed (see page 12).
When the resume mode is “DISC RESUME”
The player memorizes interrupted positions for the last 30 discs
played. Storing a new interrupted position will erase the
interrupted position stored for the first disc.
: Appears at the beginning of slow-motion playback
with the current speed (see page 12).
The memory of the interrupted positions are not cleared even if
you open the disc tray or turn off the player.
: Appears at the beginning of a scene recorded from
multiple angles (see page 17).
: Appears at the beginning of a scene recorded with
multiple audio languages (see page 17).
NOTES
• If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to
[OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose
“resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set
[RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume
playback of the disc.
• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted
position has already been stored, the memory will be updated
with the new interrupted position.
: Appears at the beginning of a scene recorded with
multiple subtitle languages (see page 17).
You can change the setting so that the on-screen guide icons
do not appear on the TV screen (see page 27).
• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the player regards each
side as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a
disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.
• When the player memorizes an iterrupted point for a disc, it also
memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.
• The player may not resume playback exactly from the
interrupted point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with
PBC function, the player may resume playback from a point
slightly earlier or later than the point where playback was
interrupted.
About screen saver function

while no button is pressed for over 5 minutes.
When the screen saver function is activated, the TV screen
gets darker.
Pressing any buttons will release the screen saver function.

Appendix D: Glossary
ASF
Linear PCM audio
ASF is an abbreviation of “Advanced Streaming Format,” and is a
data compression format for streaming developed by Microsoft
Corporation. ASF can contain the various data types such as
audio, video, and text.
PCM stands for “pulse code modulation.” Linear PCM is the usual
method for digitally encoding audio without compression, and is
used for the audio tracks on DVD VIDEO discs, Audio CDs, etc.
MP3
Aspect ratio
MP3 is an audio data compression format, which stands for
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3. Using MP3, you can achieve a data
reduction of about 1:10.
A ratio which defines the shape of the rectangular picture in a TV.
It is the width of the picture relative to the height. A conventional
TV picture is 4:3 in aspect ratio.
MPEG-4
Bitstream
MPEG-4 is an audio/video data compression format, which is
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)
highly efficient and more stable than MPEG-1 and MPEG-2.
before it is decoded into its various channels.
MPEG Multichannel
Chapter/title
This feature expands the 5.1 channel audio format recorded on
the disc to a 7.1 channel format. The further expansion of the 5.1
channel audio makes it easy for you to reproduce the movie
theater experience in your own home.
Chapter is the smallest division and title is the largest division on
DVD VIDEO. A chapter is a division of a title and similar to a track
for Video CD or Audio CD.
Component video
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)
A color television system format used extensively in Western
Europe.
Video signals with three channels of separate information that
makes up the picture. There are some types of component video,
such as R/G/B and Y/CB(PB)/CR(PR).
PBC
Composite video
PBC stands for “Playback control” and is a method of controlling
disc play for Video CDs (VCD). You are able to interact with the
disc through menus.
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video
products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization
information.
Progressive scanning
Dolby Digital (AC3)
Progressive scanning displays all the horizontal lines of a picture
at one time, as a single frame. A progressive scanning DVD
player converts the interlaced video from DVD into progressive
format for connection to a progressive display. It dramatically
increases the vertical resolution.
A six-channel system consisting of left, center, right, left rear,
right rear and LFE (Low-Frequency Effect channel, for use with a
sub-woofer) channels. All processing is done in the digital
domain. Not all Dolby Digital discs contain six (5.1) channels of
information.
RGB
Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic
An abbreviation for Red, Green and Blue. Color monitors and
color television sets display different hues by mixing these three
colors.
Dolby Surround records four channels of front and rear audio in
two channels in a way that allows a decoder to recover the
original four channels for playback. Because the audio is
recorded in two channels, it can be played back naturally by a
two-channel stereo system.
Track
The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.
Dolby Pro Logic introduces directional circuits in decoder-side
processing (increasing the level of specific channels and lowering
the level of silent channels) for greater spatial perspective, and
adds a center speaker used primarily for dialog. The result is
enhanced channel separation.
Down-mix
Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD
player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output
connectors.
DTS
A Digital Surround audio encoding format configured with six
(5.1) channels, similar to Dolby Digital. It requires a decoder,
either in the player or in an external receiver. DTS stands for
Digital Theater Systems.
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.
Dynamic range
The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.
Interlaced scanning
In a conventional video system, a picture is shown on the display
monitor in between lines of two halves. The Interlaced scanning
system places lines of the second half of the picture in-between
lines of the first half of the picture.
JPEG
A popular file format for still image compression and storage.
JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.
There are three sub-types of the JPEG format as follows.
• baseline JPEG: used for digital cameras, the web, etc.
• progressive JPEG: used for the web
• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now
