Before making connections  
• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other  
connections have been made.  
Preparations  
• Connect VIDEO OUT of the player directly to the video  
input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the player to a  
TV via a VCR may cause a monitor problem when playing  
back a copy-protected disc. You may also have a monitor  
problem when connecting the player to an integrated TV/  
Video system.  
NOTE  
If your TV has an AV COMPU LINK terminal, you can use the AV  
COMPU LINK function. See “AV COMPU LINK remote control  
system” on page 29 for details.  
• In the following description, “TV” may be substituted with  
“monitor” or “projector.”  
Terminal names used for other components may be different  
from those used in the following description.  
Connections  
Before using the player, connect the player to a TV and/or  
amplifier.  
Connecting to a TV  
The following sections A to C describe TV connections where  
only a TV is connected to the player so that you will hear audio  
from the TV.  
NOTES  
• Do not connect an S-video cable to the S-VIDEO output of the  
player. If you do so, you will not be able to obtain correct signals  
from the VIDEO jack of the player.  
• If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you  
need to use an optional audio cable which converts stereo  
audio output to monaural.

Depending on the source material 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). Film sources are recorded as 24-frame-per-second  
information, while (NTSC) video sources are recorded as 30-  
frame-per-second (60-field-per-second interlaced) information.  
When the player plays back a film source material, Progressive  
(uninterlaced) signals are created using the original information.  
When a video source material is played back, the unit interleaves  
lines between the interlaced lines on each to create the

Connecting to a digital audio device  
NOTES  
You can enjoy sound of enhanced quality by connecting the  
player’s DIGITAL OUT (either OPTICAL or COAXIAL) jack to a  
digital input of an amplifier, etc., using an optical 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.  
• Connect the player and the digital audio device by using either  
an optical digital cable or a coaxial digital cable.  
• 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 26).

Changing the resume mode  
The player has three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC  
RESUME.  
You can select the mode using the preference display (see  
page 26).

When the resume mode is “OFF”  
Playback always starts from the beginning.  
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.  
The memory of the interrupted positions are not cleared even if  
you open the disc tray or turn off the player.  
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.

• 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 interrupted 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.

Appendix D: Glossary  
480i/480p  
Interlaced scanning  
Indicates the number of scanning lines and scanning format of an  
image signal. 480i indicates 480 scanning lines with interlace  
format, and 480p indicates 480 scanning lines with progressive  
format.  
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  
Aspect ratio  
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  
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.  
Bitstream  
• lossless JPEG: an old type, rarely used now  
The digital form of multichannel audio data (e.g., 5.1-channel)  
before it is decoded into its various channels.  
Linear PCM audio  
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.  
Chapter/title  
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.  
MP3  
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.  
Component video  
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).  
MPEG Multichannel  
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.  
Composite video  
A single video signal commonly used in most consumer video  
products that contains all luminance, color, and synchronization  
information.  
NTSC (National television system committee)  
A black and white and color television system format used in the  
U.S.A., Canada, Mexico and Japan.  
Dolby Digital (AC3)  
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.  
PAL (Phase Alternation by Line)  
A color television system format used extensively in Western  
Europe.  
PBC  
Dolby Surround/Dolby Pro Logic  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Progressive scanning  
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 (480i) video from DVD into  
progressive (480p) format for connection to a progressive display.  
It dramatically increases the vertical resolution.  
S-video  
Down-mix  
A video signal which improves picture quality over standard  
composite connections. Used on Super VHS, DVD, high end TV  
monitors, etc.  
Internal stereo mix of multichannel surround audio by a DVD  
player. The down-mix signals are output from stereo output  
connectors.  
Track  
DTS  
The smallest division on SVCD, Video CD and Audio CD discs.  
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.  
WMA  
WMA is an abbreviation of “Windows Media Audio,and is an  
audio data compression format developed by Microsoft  
Corporation. Sound quality of data compressed using WMA is  
the same as that of MP3, though the WMA file size is smaller  
than that of MP3.  
Not all DTS discs contain six (5.1) channels of information.  
Dynamic range  
The difference between the loudest and softest sounds.
