Caring for Optical Discs
Handling of Discs:
Please hold the disc by gripping the rim or by placing the index finger in the
central hole. Never touch the signal surface, which is shiny. This applies to
both sides of double sided discs.
Cleaning of Discs:
Finger prints or stains on the surface of the disc may cause signal loss.
Depending on the degree of the stain, the reflected luminosity from the signal
surface may be weakened, resulting in degraded picture quality. Therefore,
please use a soft cloth and wipe in a radiating manner from the center of the
disc to the outer rims when cleaning the disc surface.
Labeling Side
Surface
Labels
If the surface of your disc is very dirty, please wipe the disc with a moist cloth,
followed by a dry soft cloth to remove all water stains.
Never use electrostatic prevention products or solutions which contain
benzene, thinner or any other vaporizing substances, as they may damage
the disc surface.
Tapes
Never add labels or adhesive tapes on the discs and be careful not to
scratch or damage the disc surface.
Storage of Discs:
To prevent discs from becoming bent or deformed, they should be vertically
kept in the disc storage case. To prevent damage, avoid leaving discs in your
car, where they may be subject to direct sunlight and high temperature.
Please thoroughly read the "Instruction Points for Attention" on the discs.
Cleaning the DVD Player:
The control panel and the case of the player will only require occasional wiping with a soft cloth. Areas with
stubborn stains can be cleaned with a soft cloth dipped in a neutral detergent. To prevent damaging the player,
never use vaporizing solutions.
Disc Accessories:
Do not use any disc accessory to improve the audio quality, disc protective solutions or lens cleaner. These
products may cause problems.

Connecting the DVD Player to your TV / Receiver
Determining the Video & Audio Connections You Will Use
The first step to using your new DVD Player is to make the cable connections that will allow you to see the video
and hear the audio on your TV and optional Stereo Receiver. Your DVD Player has multiple Video and Audio
outputs. Generally, you will only use one Video and one Audio output and any one time. The type of outputs you
use will be determined by the capabilities of your Television or receiver. It is recommended that you use the highest
quality output that your TV or receiver will support.
Television Connections (One Required)
In order to use your DVD Player, your TV must support at least one of the Video Input types shown below. To get
started, identify the best Video Connection shown below that your TV offers and proceed to that section. If you are
using your TV’s speakers for audio, rather than a separate receiver or amplifier, you will use the Stereo Audio In,
outlined in sections 1 and 2.

Receiver/Speaker Connections (Optional)
To enjoy the Dolby and/or DTS Digital Surround Sound most DVD movies are presented in, you’ll need a 5.1
Channel Sound System. Whether you choose an inexpensive, self-powered 5.1 Channel Speaker System, or a
more advanced setup with a Digital Receiver powering a set of High-Performance Speakers, your player provides
the outputs required. The 5.1 Channel Analog outputs can connect directly to a 5.1 Channel Speaker System (the
most economical method) or a Dolby-Ready Receiver. For the ultimate in Digital Audio, use the player’s Optical or
CoAxial Digital Audio outputs with a Digital Receiver powering high-performance Speakers.

Composite / S-Video & Stereo Audio Connections
1
Typical Connection - Connecting to a TV with Composite Video In and Stereo Audio In
If your TV has only a single Video Input jack, typically a yellow-colored plug, you will use the Composite Video output
of the DVD Player for the Video Connection. We’ll also assume your TV has Red and White Stereo Audio In
connectors. You will use these for the Audio Connection.
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Use the included Video Cable (Yellow) to connect the Video Out of the DVD Player to the Video In of your TV.
Connect the Stereo Audio outputs (Red-Red, White-White) of the DVD Player to the matching Inputs of your TV.
Connect the Power Cord to the DVD Player and AC Power Outlet.
Turn on the TV and DVD Player (power switch on back) and select the Video Input on your TV. On some models,
this may be called “Input 1” or “Aux In”. You should now see the DVD Player’s splash screen on your TV.
Change the ANALOG Setting in the DVD Player’s Setup Menu to 2CH. (See pg 32)

Connecting to a TV with S-Video In and Stereo Audio In
If your TV has an S-Video Input, it’s recommended that you use this connection. S-Video separates brightness and
color signals, resulting in higher video quality than Standard Composite Video.

Getting Started - Powering On & Playing a Disc
After Video and Audio Cables are Connected and Power is Applied
Once the DVD Player is properly connected to your TV and possibly your receiver also, turn on your TV and make
sure it’s set to the correct input channel. The video input is usually configured as channel 0 or 1 on most TVs, but
may be referred to as “Input 1” or “Aux In” or similar names. These procedures assume you are using a NTSC-
compatible TV - standard for North and South America. If you are using a PAL-type, you will need to change the TV
Type first. In this case, see pg 31 - Video Setup Options.

Quick Tips
Resetting to the Player’s Default Video Settings
Make sure to use caution when changing the SYSTEM and OUTPUT settings. If the value selected is not

procedures below to reset the player’s settings to default.

ASPECT - 4:3 PS / 4:3 LB / 16:9 WS
You can setup your DVD Player to work with normal and wide screen televisions. If you are using a wide screen TV,
set this option to 16:9 WS to match the aspect ratio of your TV. When used with a normal TV (4:3 aspect ratio), the
4:3 PS setting results in the typical “Pan & Scan” display, where a movie is clipped on the sides to fit on the TV
screen. The 4:3 LB setting will enable the “Letterbox” format, where the movie is presented in wide screen format
with black lines at the top and bottom of the screen.
OUTPUT - COMPOSITE / S-VIDEO / YCbCr
Change this setting to match the type of video input jack you are using on your TV. *If you are using a Progressive
Scan TV, you must change this setting FIRST, before the SYSTEM setting described above.
Composite Video is the most common video connection type and is supported on most TVs. S-Video is a higher
quality video signal that is separated into brightness and color channels. YCbCr, or COMPONENT video is used for
TVs, Computer Monitors and Projectors that support three video inputs, one for a color channel (Yellow, Blue, Red).
This setting is also used for Progressive Scan TVs.
FORMAT - AUTO / INTERLACED / PROGRESSIVE
Set the FORMAT according to the type of TV, Monitor or Projector you’re using. Most Televisions use INTERLACED
scanning, which “draws” every other horizontal scan line with each pass. PROGRESSIVE displays however, are able
to scan ALL lines (odd and even) in a single pass, resulting in a more “film-like” quality picture.
Normally, this setting should be set to AUTO, where the player will detect the scanning method used by your TV,
Monitor or Projector and adjust its output accordingly.

Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
The AC Power cord may be loose or not plugged in. Make sure the power cord is secure in the AC socket and
the connector on the back of the player.
The unit may be in Standby Mode. Turn the player on with the remote POWER button, or turn the unit off with
the back power switch, wait for a few seconds, then turn the unit back on.
There must be a pause between powering the unit down and back on of a few seconds.
A Specific Disc Does Not Play
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
The disc may be dirty. Try cleaning the disc.
Make sure the disc is not in upside-down
The region code of the disc may not match that of the player. In this case, the disc cannot be used.
The Remote Control Does Not Function
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Make sure you’re aiming the remote directly at the player’s remote sensor, located in the front display.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the remote and the player.
The batteries may be drained. Try changing the batteries in the remote.
You could be using the remote too far away. Try within 4 meters of the player.

Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Make sure the connections from the player to the TV are secure.
Verify that the TV’s channel is set to match the video input you’re using. Refer to the TV’s documentation.
On most TVs the “Aux In”, “Video In” or “A/V In” channel should match the video input connector.
If you’re using the S-Video connector, the TV may have a separate input channel for this type.
The Picture Appears Stretched or Squeezed
Ÿ
The Video Aspect Ratio may be set wrong for your Television type.
Ÿ
Enter the Setup Menu and select the Video Menu. Try changing the ASPECT setting to 4:3 PS (Pan&Scan) if
