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.  
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.  
– 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.  
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.  
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.  
• 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.

properly for any of the following reasons: incomplete disc  
finalization, disc burner characteristics, disc characteristics, the  
disc is damaged or dirty, the disc contains only a small amount  
of data. Discs that contain different types of files, JPEG, MP3,  
WMA, DivX, and so on, are not supported. See the manual sup-  
plied with your disc burner for more information. Condensa-  
tion or dirt on the optical pickup lens can also affect playback.

CPRM (Content Protection for Recordable Media).  
About this Manual  
This manual explains how to use all of the DVD player’s  
functions. Although the DVD standard offers many spe-  
cial features, not all discs use them all, so depending on  
the disc being played, the DVD player may not respond  
to certain functions. See your disc’s sleeve notes for sup-  
ported features.  
When you attempt to use a DVD feature that is  
not available, this logo may appear onscreen,  
indicating that the feature is not supported by  
the current disc or by the DVD player.  
*4 Some audio CDs feature copy protection that doesn’t conform  
to the official CD standard. Since these are nonstandard discs,  
they may not play properly in the DVD player.

Before Connecting  
• Before making any connections, turn off the DVD  
player and AV receiver, and disconnect them from the  
wall outlets. Failure to do so may result in speaker  
damage.  
Note:  
Connection Hints  
• If you use this connection, in the Speaker Configura-  
tion (page 48), set the Subwoofer, Center Speaker, and  
Surround Speaker settings to Off, so that multichannel  
audio sources are down mixed into two channels.  
• To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound, you  
must connect the DVD player to your AV receiver by  
using an optical or coaxial digital audio cable or  
HDMI cable. See page 24 for HDMI connection infor-  
mation.  
Connecting the Digital Output  
• To record the audio from a CD-R disc to a cassette  
deck or CDR recorder that’s connected to the AV  
receiver, or if you want to use your AV receiver’s  
Zone 2 function, you must connect the DVD player’s  
stereo analog audio output to your AV receiver.  
• If your AV receiver has an analog multichannel input,  
we recommend that you connect it to the DVD  
player’s multichannel analog output. This will ensure  
that you can enjoy all types of discs, including Dolby  
Digital and DTS DVD-Video discs, and DVD-Audio  
and SACD discs containing multichannel audio at  
higher sampling rates.  
Connect one of the DIGITALAUDIO OUTPUT jacks  
on this player to a digital input on your AV receiver.

Notes:  
Connecting your HDTV or AV  
receiver with an HDMI Input  
• The DVD player supports HDCP (High-bandwidth  
Digital Content Protection), a protection system for  
digital video. HDMI components that you connect to  
the DVD player must also support HDCP.  
This section shows how to connect the DVD player to a  
AV receiver, HDTV, or projector that has an HDMI input  
socket.  
• The DVD player supports High-Definition Multime-  
dia Interface Specification Information Version 1.0.  
What is HDMI?  
HDMI & the DVD player  
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new  
connection format that can carry uncompressed, stan-  
dard or high definition digital video and digital audio.  
Until now, several separate video and audio cables have  
been required to connect AV components together. With  
HDMI, a single cable is all that’s necessary to achieve  
the best picture and audio quality.  
HDMI video is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual  
Interface). To send HDMI video to a DVI input requires  
an HDMI-to-DVI cable. The DVD player supports  
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection),  
and for an HDMI-to-DVI connection to work, the other  
component must also support it. Note that this may not  
work with some DVI components.  
Video  
The DVD player’s HDMI OUT supports the following

Components  
Using the Multiroom Control Kits  
(North American model only)  
In this setup, an IR emitter is connected to the DVD  
player’s IR OUT jack and placed in front of the other  
component’s remote control sensor. Infrared signals  
received at the DVD player’s IR IN jack are fed through  
to the other component via the IR emitter. Signals picked  
up by the DVD player’s remote control sensor are not  
output.  
To control the DVD player with the remote controller  
when DVD player is located in a cabinet, you’ll need a  
commercially available multiroom remote control kit.  
• Multiroom kits are made by Niles and Xantech.  
These kits can also be used when control other compo-  
nents.

• With some DVD-Video discs, you may experience  
picture noise that is not normally visible with standard

noise, if any, will depend on your particular TV and  
the problem can sometimes be alleviated by turning

Surr. Delay  
Test Tone  
Surr. Delay (B) = Df – Ds  
If you can adjust the volume level of each channel of  
your amp’s multichannel input, with this function, you  
can output a test tone from each multichannel output  
jack in turn and adjust each level as necessary.  
1. Use the Up/Down [ ]/[ ] buttons to select a  
speaker, and then press the [ENTER] button.  
A test tone is output by each speaker as it’s selected.  
No Delay (default): When Df equals Ds.  
5msec: When (B) is approx. 5 ft. (1.5 m)  
10msec: When (B) is approx. 10 ft. (3 m)

• The test tone is not output by the digital audio outputs.  
Dynamic Range Control (Dolby Digital  
only)  
With the Dynamic Range Control function you can  
reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so  
that you can still hear quiet parts even when listening at  
low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at  
night when you don’t want to disturb anyone.  
Center Delay and Surr. Delay  
With these settings, you can adjust the multichannel out-  
put signals relative to the listening position.  
For 5.1-channel surround playback, ideally your speak-  
ers should all be the same distance away from the listen-  
ing position, but this isn’t always practical. By setting a  
delay time for the center and surround speakers, you can  
adjust their virtual positions without having to physically  
move them, creating the ideal listening environment. The  
diagram below shows the ideal locations for the center  
and surround speakers.  
Off (default): The full dynamic range is preserved.  
On: The dynamic range of Dolby Digital material is  
compressed.  
Notes:  
• The impact of the Dynamic Range Control function  
depends on the Dolby Digital material that you are  
playing and with some material there will be little or  
no effect.

DVD Priority Contents  
DivX Registration  
This setting determines what is played when a  
DVD-Audio disc also contains DVD-Video material.  
To play DivX VOD (video on demand) content on this  
DVD player, you first need to register it with your DivX  
VOD content provider.You do this by generating a DivX  
VOD registration code, which you then submit to your  
provider.  
Your 8-digit registration code is displayed.  
Burn DivX VOD content that you download to a blank  
CD-R.  
DVD-AUDIO (default): The DVD-Audio material is  
played.  
DVD-VIDEO: The DVD-Video material is played.  
SACD Priority Contents  
SACDs have two separate areas for storing audio  
tracks—one for multichannel audio, the other for 2-  
channel stereo audio. In addition, hybrid SACDs have  
an extra layer for playback in standard CD players.  
With this setting you can determine how SACDs are  
played by the DVD player.  
DivX® Video On Demand  
Your registration code is:  
01234567  
(http://www.divx.com/vod)

Glossary  
Analog audio  
DRM  
An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Com-  
pare this to digital audio which can be an electrical sig-  
nal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also  
“Digital audio.”  
DRM (digital rights management) is a type of server  
software developed to enable secure distribution of paid  
content over the web, recently incorporated by WMA  
(Windows Media Audio).  
*3  
Aspect ratio  
DTS  
The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conven-  
tional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost  
square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is  
almost twice as wide as it is high).  
DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is  
a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has  
become a popular surround sound format for movies.  
Dynamic range  
Digital audio  
The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds  
possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting  
lost in noise).  
Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a very  
wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like  
effects.  
An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During  
recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals  
(44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to-  
digital converter, generating a stream of numbers.  
On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an  
analog signal based on these numbers. See also “Sam-  
pling frequency” and “Analog audio.”  
File extension  
A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type  
of file. For example, “.mp3” indicates an MP3 file.  
*1  
DivX  
DivX is a media technology created by DivX,  
Inc. DivX media files contain compressed video. DivX  
files can also include advanced media features like  
menus, subtitles, and alternate audio tracks.  
HD  
Abbreviation for high definition, as in HDTV (high-def-  
inition TV).  
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)  
The video encryption technology developed by Intel for  
HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to protect video content and  
requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the  
encrypted video.  
*2  
Dolby Digital  
Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio,  
this high quality surround system is used in many of the  
finer movie theaters around the world.  
The on-screen display shows which channels are active,  
for example showing 3/2.1. The 3 being the two front  
channels and the center channel; the 2 being the surround  
channels, and the .1 being the LFE channel.

Regions (DVD-Video only)  
HDMI  
These associate discs and players with particular areas of  
the world. This unit will only play discs that have com-  
patible region codes. You can find the region code of  
your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are  
compatible with more than one region (or all regions).  
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a high-  
speed digital interface which has the capability to sup-  
port standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus  
standard to multichannel surround-sound audio on a sin-  
gle digital connection. HDMI features include uncom-  
pressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes  
per second and communication between the AV source  
and AV devices such as DTVs.  
Sampling frequency  
The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into  
digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the  
sound quality, but the more digital information is gener-  
ated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of  
44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements)  
per second. See also “Digital audio.”  
ISO 9660 format  
International standard for the volume and file structure  
of CD-ROM discs.  
JPEG  
WMA  
A file format used for still images, such as photographs  
and illustrations. JPEG files are identified by the file  
extension “.jpg” or “.JPG”. Most digital cameras use this  
format.  
WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and refers to  
an audio compression technology developed by  
Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by  
using Windows Media Player version 8.  
MP3  
MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file  
format. Files are recognized by their file extension  
“.mp3” or “.MP3”.  
MPEG video  
The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. Video  
CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses  
the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard.  
PBC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)  
A system of navigating a Video CD through on-screen  
menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs  
that you would normally not watch from beginning to  
end all at once—karaoke discs, for example.  
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)  
The most common system of encoding digital audio,  
found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a  
lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital.  
For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD,  
and DAT) andAV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit  
can convert Dolby Digital, and DTS to PCM. See also  
“Digital audio.”  
Progressive scan video  
All the lines that make up a video picture are updated in  
one pass (compared to interlace which takes two passes  
to update the whole picture).
