Precautions
On safety
• Caution – The use of optical instruments
with this product will increase eye hazard.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
place objects filled with liquids, such as

the wall outlet, even if the player itself has
been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the player for a
long time, be sure to disconnect the player
from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC
power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.

• Consumers should note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and
may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In the case of 480 progressive scan picture problems, it

Using the PROGRESSIVE button
You can fine-tune the Progressive 480p video signal output when you press PROGRESSIVE on
the front panel (the PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up in blue) and connect the player using the
COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a TV that is able to accept the video signal in progressive
format.
◆ Conversion Modes
DVD software can be divided into two types: film based software and video based software.
Video based software is derived from the TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images
at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Film based software is derived from film and displays images
at 24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both Video and Film.
In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in PROGRESSIVE mode
(60 frames per second), the progressive video signal needs to be converted to match the type of
DVD software that you are watching.
Press PROGRESSIVE repeatedly to turn or change the displays as follows:
NORMAL (INTERLACE)*
PROGRESSIVE AUTO*
PROGRESSIVE VIDEO*
PROGRESSIVE FILM*
* Appears as NORMAL, P AUTO, P VIDEO, or P FILM on the front panel display
• NORMAL (INTERLACE)
Select this when you are connected to a standard (Interlace format) TV.
• PROGRESSIVE AUTO
Select this when you are connected to a progressive TV. This will automatically detect if you
are playing Film based or Video based software and convert the signal to the appropriate
conversion mode. Normally select this position when you are connected to a progressive TV.
• PROGRESSIVE VIDEO
Select this when you are connected to a progressive TV. This will set the conversion mode for
Video based software, regardless of the type of software that you are playing.
• PROGRESSIVE FILM
Select this when you are connected to a progressive TV. This will set the conversion mode for
Film based software, regardless of the type of software that you are playing.
Notes
• When you select PROGRESSIVE FILM, the progressive format images may become unclear or unnatural.
If this happens, select PROGRESSIVE VIDEO.
• When you play video based software with progressive signals, sections of some types of images may appear
unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.
Images from the S VIDEO OUT and LINE OUT (VIDEO) jacks are unaffected as they are output in the
normal (interlace) format.

DVD VIDEO (page 6)
Glossary
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving
pictures even though its diameter is the same
as a CD.
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-
sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7
times that of a CD. The data capacity of a
double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5
GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD is
9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided
DVD is 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one
of the worldwide standards of digital
compression technology. The picture data is
compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its
original size. The DVD also uses a variable
rate coding technology that changes the data
to be allocated according to the status of the
picture. Audio information is recorded in a
multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital,
allowing you to enjoy a more real audio
presence.
Sections of a picture or a music feature that
are smaller than titles. A title is composed of
several chapters. Depending on the disc, no
chapters may be recorded.
Digital audio compression technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This
technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround
sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is
a discrete subwoofer channel in this format.
Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete
channels of high quality digital audio found in
“Dolby Digital” theater surround sound
systems. Good channel separation is realized
because all of the channel data are recorded
discretely and little deterioration is realized
because all channel data processing is digital.
Furthermore, various advanced functions
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and
Parental Control functions are provided with
the DVD.
Audio signal processing technology that
Dolby Laboratories developed for surround
sound. When the input signal contains a
surround component, the Pro Logic process
outputs the front, center and rear signals. The
rear channel is monaural.
DVD-RW (page 6)
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable
disc with the same size as the DVD VIDEO.
The DVD-RW can be recorded in two
different modes: VR mode and Video mode.
VR (Video Recording) mode enables various
programming and editing functions, some of
which are limited in the case of Video mode.
Video mode complies with DVD VIDEO
format and can be played on other DVD
players while a DVD-RW recorded in VR
mode can only be played on DVD-RW
compliant players. The “DVD-RW”
Digital audio compression technology that
Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This
technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround
sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is
a discrete subwoofer channel in this format.
DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels
of high quality digital audio.
appearing in this manual, and the on-screen
displays refer to DVD-RWs in VR mode.
Good channel separation is realized because
all of the channel data is recorded discretely
and little deterioration is realized because all
channel data processing is digital.
DVD+RW (page 6)
A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and
rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording
format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO
format.

Film based software, Video based
Title (page 9)
The longest section of a picture or music
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video
software, or the entire album in audio
software.
DVDs can be classified as Film based or
Video based software. Film based DVDs
contain the same images (24 frames per
second) that are shown at movie theaters.
Video based DVDs, such as television
dramas or sit-coms, display images at 30
frames/60 fields (25 frames/50 fields) per
second.
Track (page 9)
Sections of a picture or a music feature on a
CD or VIDEO CD (the length of a song).
Interlace format shows every other line of an
image as a single “field” and is the standard
method for displaying images on television.
The even number field shows the even
numbered lines of an image, and the odd
numbered field shows the odd numbered lines
of an image.
Index (CD)/Video Index (VIDEO CD) (page
12)
A number that divides a track into sections to
easily locate the point you want on a CD or
VIDEO CD. Depending on the disc, no index
may be recorded.
Compared to the Interlace format that
alternately shows every other line of an image
(field) to create one frame, the Progressive
format shows the entire image at once as a
single frame. This means that while the
Interlace format can show 30 frames (60
fields) in one second, the Progressive format
can show 60 frames in one second. The
overall picture quality increases and still
images, text, and horizontal lines appear
sharper. This player is compatible with the
480 progressive format.
On a VIDEO CD with PBC (playback
control) functions, the menu screens, moving
pictures and still pictures are divided into
sections called “scenes.”
