Precautions

1. Regional Restriction Codes (Region Number)

8. Notes on Handling

Regional restriction codes are built into DVD Players and DVD-

Video media for each sales region. If the regional code of the

DVD Player does not match one of the regional codes on the

DVD-Video, playback is not possible.

• When shipping the unit, use the original shipping carton and

packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit as

it was originally packed at the factory.

• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the unit.

Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit

for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

The regional number can be found on the rear panel of the DVD

Player. (e.g.

for Region 1)

• The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm after

a long period of use.This is not a malfunction.

2. About This Manual

This manual explains the basic procedures for operating the

DVD Player. Some DVD-Video and DVD-Audio discs do not

support the full potential of the DVD technology. Your DVD

Player may therefore not respond to all operating commands.

Refer to instruction notes on discs.

• When the unit is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and

turn off the power.

• If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may not

function properly in the future. Turn on and use the unit

occasionally.

A “ ” mark may appear on the TV screen during operation. It

means that the operation is not permitted by the DVD Player or

the disc.

9. To Obtain a Clear Picture

The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the optical

pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the

picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we

recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or

parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the

operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

3. Recording Copyright

Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is

illegal without permission of the copyright holder.

4. Power

WARNING

10. Notes on Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation damages the unit.

Please read the following carefully.

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME,

READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.

• What is moisture condensation?

The voltage of the available power supply differs according to

country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the

area where the unit will be used meets the required voltage

(e.g., AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear panel.

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a

cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on

the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may

condense on the optical pick-up lens inside the unit, one of

the most crucial internal parts of the unit.

5. Do not touch the unit with wet hands

Do not handle the unit or power cord when your hands are wet

or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take the

unit to an authorized service center for inspection.

• Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.

– When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a

warm place.

– When you use the unit in a room where you just turned on

the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air

conditioner directly hits the unit.

– In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid place

just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.

– When you use the unit in a humid place.

6. Location of the unit

• Place the unit in a well-ventilated location.

Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of

the unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If

ventilation is blocked, the unit may overheat and malfunction.

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or heating units as

the unit’s internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of

the pickup.

• Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by

vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the

unit on or above one of the speakers.

• Be sure the unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place

it on its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction.

• When you place the unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the

playback picture may become poor and the sound may be

distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV, radio,

or VCR.

• Do not use the unit when moisture condensation may

occur.

If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage discs

and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord

of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, and leave it for

two or three hours. After a few hours, the unit will have

warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit

connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will

seldom occur.

7. Care

From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and

the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth

in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry,

and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean

cloth.

Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical

solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove

the panel lettering.

Connecting to a TV

Before connecting

Incomplete

• Refer also to the instruction manual of the TV.

• Connect the plugs securely.

• When you connect the DVD Player to the TV, be sure to turn off the

power and unplug both units from the mains before making any

connections.

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

Player to a VCR, TV/VCR combination, or video selector, the playback

picture may be distorted as DVD videos are copy protected.

Making component video connections

If the TV or monitor has component video inputs, making this

type of video connection will produce the ideal picture quality for

the presentation of DVD-Video. Using a component video cable

(sold separately), connect the VIDEO OUTPUT COMPONENT

jacks to the corresponding component video input jacks on the

TV.

BE sure to set the TV Aspect after connection using

the Setup Navigator explained in “Setting Up the

Player” starting on page 16 or the function setting

menu explained in “Adjusting Audio and Video

Settings” starting on page 38.

Actual labels for component video inputs may vary depending on

the TV manufacturer. (e.g. Y, R-Y, B-Y or Y, C^B, CR)

In some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the playback picture

may be reduced slightly or the tint may change. In such a case,

adjust the TV or monitor for optimum performance.

Connecting to an Amplifier

(To Enjoy the Sound Advantage of the DVD Player)

Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound from the TV speakers with the connections on the opposite page,

connecting with an amplifier provides you high quality dynamic sounds.

To reproduce Dolby Digital surround, MPEG1 audio, MPEG2 audio, and DTS surround sound, you need to connect to an

amplifier with a Dolby Digital, MPEG1 audio, MPEG2 audio, and DTS decoder respectively.

Notes

Before connecting

• The remote controller supplied with Onkyo amplifier can be used

to operate the DVD player.

• The function of the upper and lower z connectors are the same.

Connect to either one.

• Refer to the instruction manual of the amplifier.

• 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.

• Connect the plugs securely.

Turning on the DVD Player

Before connecting

• The DV-S555 is shipped with the main power (POWER)

switch in the on position (_ ON). When the power cord is

plugged in for the first time, the DV-S555 will automatically

enter the standby state and the STANDBY indicator will

light (same condition after step 2 below).

• Make sure that all the connections on pages 13 and 14 are

complete (the connection to a TV is required).

used with any other device.

Canadian models)

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).

• Never have the power cord

disconnected from the DV-S555 while

the other end is plugged into the wall

outlet. Doing so may cause an electric

shock. Always connect by plugging into

the wall outlet last and disconnect by

unplugging from the wall outlet first.

able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If the TV

has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On

some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands

at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is

caused by the NTSC = PAL conversion.

Setting the TV Screen Size

The width-to-height ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while the

width-to-height ratio of wide screen and high-definition TVs is

16:9. This width-to-height ratio is called the aspect ratio.

When viewing software recorded in different aspect ratios, the

image’s height to width ratio can be switched to match the TV

or monitor being used.

language tracks and subtitle information in as many as 32

different languages. This section outlines the variety of audio

language and subtitle options available with this player.

Please note that if you have completed the Setup Navigator,

the audio and subtitle language options have automatically

been set in accordance with the [OSD Language] (the

language that appears on the screen).

I Selecting an audio language preference

selected from the various audio languages on a DVD. Even

when the audio language is changed during playback by

Setting the Parental Lock Level

This player lets you set the Parental Lock if the DVD has a

parental lock level recorded on it. With Parental Lock capable

discs, you can block access to material you feel is

inappropriate for your children. Refer to the DVD disc jacket

and the accompanying documentation to see if a particular

disc contains a parental lock level.

Make changes to the [Parental Lock] setting in the Setup

screen General menu. Please note that changes to the

Parental Lock level cannot be made when a disc is playing.

Stop playback of the disc before attempting to make any

changes.

I Entering the Password

When you select either [Level] or [Country Code], it is

necessary to register the password (4-digit code number).

You’ll be asked to confirm your existing password before

registering a new one. Use the following steps at any time you

are asked to enter or confirm your password.

1 Use the cursor buttons (5/∞) or the number buttons to

select a number between 0 and 9.

You can also use the number buttons to enter the numbers

directly. When entering your password for the first time, or

changing it, you will be asked to reenter your password. When

using the number buttons to confirm the password, the numbers

appear as asterisks, and the cursor advances automatically to

the next position.

You cannot select [Level] or [Country Code] until you have

registered a password. Select [Password] to register a new

password. See ‘Entering the password’ on the this page for

how to register a new password.
