Precautions

1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use

only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-

out the permission of the copyright holder.

• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat

sources, because its internal temperature may

rise, shortening the life of the optical pickup.

• Avoid damp and dusty places, and places subject

to vibrations from loudspeakers. Never put the

unit on top of, or directly above a loudspeaker.

• Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its

side or on a sloping surface, because it may cause

a malfunction.

• If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR,

the picture and sound quality may be affected. If

this occurs, move this unit away from the TV,

radio, or VCR.

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-

ners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because

they may damage the ﬁnish or remove the panel let-

tering.

8. To Obtain a Clear Picture—This unit is a high-

tech, precision device. If the lens on the optical

pickup, or the disc drive mechanism becomes dirty

or worn, the picture quality may be affected. To

maintain the best picture quality, we recommend

regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or

worn part replacement) every 1,000 hours of use

depending on the operating environment. Contact

your Onkyo dealer for details.

4. Power

WARNING

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE

FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-

TION CAREFULLY.

AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.

Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the

voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel

(e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).

9. Moisture Condensation

The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit

from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug

is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.

Moisture condensation may damage this unit.

Read the following carefully:

Moisture may condense on the lens of the optical

pickup, one of the most important parts inside this

unit.

• Moisture condensation can occur in the following

situations:

Pressing the [STANDBY/ON] button to select

Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If

you do not intend to use the unit for an extended

period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

– The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm

place.

– A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air

conditioner is hitting the unit.

– In the summer, when this unit is moved from

an air conditioned room to a hot and humid

place.

– The unit is used in a humid place.

• Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility

of moisture condensation occurring. Doing so

may damage your discs and certain parts inside

this unit.

5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—Never

handle this unit or its power cord while your hands

are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets

inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo

dealer.

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.

• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm

after prolonged use. This is normal.

• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may

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

be sure to use it occasionally.

If condensation does occur, remove all discs and

leave this unit turned on for two to three hours. By

this time, the unit will have warmed up and any con-

densation will have evaporated.

10. Region Numbers—The DVD standard uses region

numbers to control how discs can be played around

the world, the world being divided into six regions.

This unit will only play DVD discs that match its

region number, which can be found on its rear panel

• When you’ve ﬁnished using this unit, remove all

discs and turn off the power.

7. Installing this Unit

• Install this unit in a well-ventilated location.

• Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation all

around this unit, especially if it’s installed in an

audio rack. If the ventilation is inadequate, the

unit may overheat, leading to malfunction.

Connecting Antenna

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor

FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect

commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas.

The DVD receiver won’t pick up any radio signals with-

out any antenna connected, so you must connect the

antenna to use the tuner.

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna

The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use

only.

Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting

the tabs into the base, as shown.

AM antenna push terminals

FM antenna

connector

Connect both wires of the AM loop

antenna to the AM push terminals, as

shown.

(The antenna’s wires are not polarity sensitive, so

they can be connected either way around.)

Make sure that the wires are attached securely and

that the push terminals are gripping the bare

wires, not the insulation.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

Insert the plug fully

into the jack.

Push

Insert wire

Release

Once your DVD receiver is ready for use, you’ll

need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust

the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best

possible reception.

Use thumbtacks or something similar to

ﬁx the FM antenna into position.

Once your DVD receiver is ready for use, you’ll

need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust

the position of theAM antenna to achieve the best

possible reception.

Keep the antenna as far away as possible from

your DVD receiver, TV, speaker cables, and

power cords.

Thumbtacks, etc.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied

indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commer-

cially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 17).

Caution: Be careful that you don’t injure yourself

when using thumbtacks.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied

indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-

door FM antenna instead (see page 17).

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied

indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available out-

door FM antenna instead.

If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied

AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used

in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.

Outdoor antenna

Insulated antenna cable

AM loop antenna

Notes:

• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable

results can sometimes be obtained when installed in

an attic or loft.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside

horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained

indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note

that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.

Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with

local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well

away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line

of sight to your local FM transmitter.

• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possi-

ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.

• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated

well away from power lines and other high-voltage

equipment.

• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance

with local regulations to prevent electrical shock haz-

ards.

I Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter

It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV

reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir-

cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as

shown.

Connecting Speakers

Speaker Connection Precautions

• Connect the right speaker to the DVD receiver’s right

(R) SPEAKERS terminals. Connect the left speaker to

the DVD receiver’s left (L) SPEAKERS terminal.

• Connect the positive (+) terminal on each speaker to

the corresponding positive (+) terminal on the DVD

receiver. Connect the negative (–) terminal on each

speaker to the corresponding negative (–) terminal on

the DVD receiver. Use the red wires to connect the

positive (+) terminal.

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• You can connect speakers with an impedance of

4 ohms or higher. If you use speakers with a lower

impedance, and use the ampliﬁer at high volume lev-

els for a long period of time, the built-in protection

circuit may be activated.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before

making any connections.

• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other

words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive

(+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only nega-

tive (–) terminals. If you get them the wrong way

around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound

unnatural.

Strip 3/8" (10 mm) of insu-

3/8" (10 mm)

lation from the ends of the

speaker cables, and twist the

bare wires tightly, as shown.

• Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may

affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

• Be careful not to short the

positive and negative wires.

Doing so may damage theAV

receiver.

• Don’t connect more than one

cable to each speaker termi-

While pressing the lever, insert

the wire into the hole, and then

release the lever.

Make sure that the terminals are

Enjoying Home Theater

The DVD receiver provides multi-channel playback with its theater dimensional feature, even under two front speaker

conditions.

Certainly, it can provide full 5.1ch playback in combination with an add-on subwoofer, center and surround speakers

off the shelf, so that you can enjoy more realistic, movie theater/concert hall-in-the-home sound effect.

With DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital.

Front left and right speakers

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for

the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equi-

distant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front left

and right speakers, making sound

movements distinct and providing a

full sound image. In movies it’s used

mainly for dialog.

Position it close to yourTV (preferably

on top) facing forward at about ear

level, or at the same height as the

front left and right speakers.

Subwoofer

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of

the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel.

The volume and quality of the bass output

from your subwoofer will depend on its

position, the shape of your listening room,

and your listening position. In general, a

good bass sound can be obtained by

installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or

at one-third the width of the wall, as shown.

Surround left and right speakers

These speakers are used for precise

sound positioning and to add realistic

ambience.

Position them at the sides of the lis-

tener, or slightly behind, about 2–3

feet (60–100 cm) above ear level.

Corner

Ideally they should be equidistant

from the listener.

1/3 wall length

• For optimum surround playback, set the distance between the listener and the speakers so that the time it takes

the sound to reach the listener is same. Also, you need to set each speaker volume level individually in order to

balance the volume level between speakers (see pages 52-53).

Screen sizes and disc formats

Setting the TV system

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.

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, how-

ever, 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).

Widescreen TV users

If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting

(page 68) 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.

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

(page 68) 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.

4Press MULTI JOG.

You will see the message “Waiting”. Then wait for a

moment until initial display appears. And then you

will see a new setting displayed. If the previous set-

ting was either “Auto”, “NTSC” or “PAL”, it will be

changed to “NTSC”, “PAL” or “Auto” respectively.

The TV system changes as follows:

^{• Auto}→ ^NTSC

• NTSC → PAL

^{• PAL}→^Auto

Note:

You have to switch the player into standby (press

STANDBY/ON) before each change.

Set to “4:3 (Pan&Scan),” widescreen discs are shown

with the left and right sides cropped.
