1. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

2. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. There should be free space of at least 5 cm (2 in.) and an opening behind the appliance.

3. Power Sources – The appliance should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

4. Grounding or Polarization – The appliance may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

5. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.

The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz) written on the rear panel.

6.Do not touch this unit with wet hands

Do not handle this unit or power cord when your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take this unit to an authorized service center for inspection.

7. Location of this unit

• Place this unit in a well-ventilated location.
  Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of this unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is blocked, this unit may overheat and malfunction.
• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heating units as this 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 this 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 this DVD Changer near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, place the DVD Changer away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

8.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.

9. Notes on Handling

• When shipping the DVD Changer, 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 DVD Changer. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the DVD Changer for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.
• The top and rear panels of the DVD Changer may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.

• If you do not use the DVD Changer for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD Changer occasionally.

10. To Obtain a Clear Picture

The DVD Changer 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.

11. Notes on Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation damages the DVD Changer.

Please read the following carefully.

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 this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the DVD Changer.

• Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.
• When you bring the DVD Changer directly from a cold place to a warm place.
• When you use the DVD Changer 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 DVD Changer in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.
• When you use the DVD Changer in a humid place.
• Do not use the DVD Changer when moisture condensation may occur.

If you use the DVD Changer in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the DVD Changer to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD Changer, and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the DVD Changer will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD Changer connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

• See also the instruction manual of the connected TV on how to select the signals transmitted by the DVD Changer.
- Before connecting the DVD Changer to your TV, be sure to turn off the power to and unplug both units from the wall outlet.
- If your TV set has one audio input (monaural), connect a Y cable adapter to the DV-C501's ANALOG OUTPUTs, and the other end of the adapter to the TV's audio input.
- Be sure to establish a direct video connection between the DV-C501 and your TV set. Do not route the video signal through your VCR or other video component. Otherwise the picture may be distorted due to the DVD disc's copy protection.

Connecting a power cable

1. Connect the outlet plug on the included power cable to the AC INLET on the DV-C501.
2. Plug-in the other end of the cable to a wall AC outlet.

Notes:

• Do not use any power cable other than the included cable. The included cable is designed for use only with the DV-C501. Do not use it for any other device.
• Do not connect or disconnect the outlet plug from the DV-C501 while the other end is plugged into the wall AC outlet.

Connecting to an Audio System and TV with COMPONENT VIDEO Inputs

- It is also possible to “split” the audio and video signals by sending the video signal to your TV set and the audio signal to an amplifier. Doing so has the advantage that you can:

• Listen to the sound of audio CDs and DVD video discs in stereo (via the amplifier) or in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic Surround or DTS (see pages 12, 13);
• Enjoy a better picture quality of DVD video discs on a TV equipped with Component Video inputs than would be possible via an S-video connection.

Notes

• See also the manuals of your audio amplifier and TV set for establishing the correct connections and making the required settings.
- Before connecting the DVD Changer to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all components from the wall outlet.
- This DVD Changer outputs a very dynamic audio signal. Be sure to set the amplifier's volume to a moderate listening level to avoid damaging your speakers due to sudden volume surges.
- Switch off the amplifier or select another input source before connecting or disconnecting the DVD Changer's power cable. If you leave the amplifier power on, the speakers may be damaged.

Your DV-C501 provides several options for audio playback: you can use the analog or one of the digital audio outputs. If your amplifier only provides analog inputs, use the DV-C501's ANALOG OUTPUTs and select them via the on-screen menu ("Analog 2ch"). See "Audio Settings" on page 36 for details.

■ COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (COLOR DIFFERENCE):

Some TVs or monitors are equipped with Color Difference inputs. Connecting the DV-C501 to these inputs allows you to enjoy a better picture quality. Be sure to match the DV-C501's VIDEO OUTPUTs with the Component Video inputs of your TV or monitor (see the illustration).

Actual labels for the Color Difference inputs may vary depending on the TV manufacturer (e.g. Y, B-Y, R-Y, etc.).

On some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the picture may be reduced slightly, or the tint may change. In such cases, adjust the TV or monitor for optimum performance.

Note:

- If you place the DVD Changer near a tuner or radio, the radio reception might be distorted due to interference. In this case, locate the DV-C501 away from the tuner or radio.

■ You can enjoy high-quality surround audio playback by connecting the DV-C501 to an amplifier equipped with a Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic Surround, or DTS decoder. Furthermore you can transfer the signal of audio CDs to your amplifier in the digital domain if it is fitted with a digital input. See pages 10 and 11 for the video hookup of the DV-C501 to your TV set.

When using an optical digital cable, remove the cap from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL connector and firmly fit the cable's jack into the connector. When not using this connector, keep it capped to protect it from dust intrusion.

Notes:

• Before connecting the DVD Changer to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all components from the wall outlet.
• This DVD Changer outputs a very dynamic audio signal. Be sure to set the amplifier's volume to a moderate listening level to avoid damaging your speakers due to sudden volume surges.

Your DV-C501 comes with a special 28-step memory that allows you to program the order in which the Titles and Chapters/tracks are to be played back. Such “sequences” can include material from several discs.

DVD VCD CD

Programming Memory Sequences

The DV-C501's Memory function allows you to program the order in which the material on one or several discs should be played back.

Note:

If you only want to select the next track for playback, using the Next Selection function is a lot faster. See page 24.

1		Insert the disc(s) you need for programming the desired sequence.
2		Switch on your TV set.
3		Stop playback if it is still running, and press the MEMORY button.The letters on this menu page have the following meaning:D: Disc number, T: Title (or Track) number,C: Chapter number.
		Use the numeric buttons on the remote controller to enter the numbers you wish to include in your Memory sequence.Use the ◀ / ▶ buttons to move the cursor to the “D”, “T”, or “C” column, depending on whether you want to enter a disc, Title (or Track), or Chapter number.
5		Confirm your selection by pressing the ENTER.The DV-C501 now jumps to the next Memory step.
6		Program the remaining steps.
7		Press the ► PLAY button to start playback of your memory sequence.

■ Programming the D, T and C entries

Here are a few hints that explain the programming system and help you save time:

Note:

For Video and audio CDs, you can only program the disc ("D") and Track numbers. Track numbers are assigned to the "T" entry. The "C" entry only applies to DVD video discs.

Only specify what you does need to change:

Disc number: if a subsequent entry refers to the previously selected disc number, you do not need to enter it again for the new step. (Do not change the “—” setting for “D”.)

Title number (DVD video discs only): if a subsequent step refers to another Chapter of the previously selected Title, only entering the Chapter number is enough. (Do not change the “—” setting for the “D” and “T” entries.)

Chapter number (DVD video discs only): if you want the DV-C501 to play back all Chapters of the selected Title, leave the "C" entry blank.

Here are a few programming examples:

Chapters 25 and 12 of Title # 2 on disc #3 (two steps):

    B --> C["2"]
    C --> D["▶"]
    D --> E["2"]
    E --> F["5"]

    H["1"] --> I["2"]

    G --> H["ENTER"]

graph LR
    A["◀"] --> B["4"]
    B --> C["▶"]
    C --> D["2"]
    D --> E["—"]
    E --> F["ENTER"]

"Copy" the settings of the previous memory:

Doing so allows you to use the settings of the previous memory as a starting point and only change one entry. Example: if memory 1 refers to disc 3/Title 2/Chapter 25, while memory 2 needs to refer to disc 3/Title 2/Chapter 12, you can "copy" memory 1 to memory 2 and modify the "C" (chapter) entry:

• Program the memory to be copied (example: memory 1), and press the ENTER button. The DVD Changer advances to memory 2.
• Use the numeric buttons to enter the chapter number 12 on the black cursor on the "C" entry, then press the ENTER button, "D" and "T" on the memory 1 are copied to memory 2.

■ Other Memory Functions

Leaving the MEMORY display page

To leave the MEMORY display page, press the MEMORY button.

Correcting an entry of a previously programmed step:

a) Use the ▲ / ▼buttons to move the cursor to the corresponding memory number.
b) Select the entry (D, T or C) you wish to change with the ▶ / ▶ buttons.
c) Enter the correct value using the numeric buttons.

- You can only program Title (or Track) and Chapter numbers that exist on the selected disc.
- For Video and audio CDs, the "T" entry allows you to select the track, while the "C" entry is not used.
• The Memory function is also available during playback.

CD

Next Selection: Preparing the next Audio Track

During playback of an audio CD, you can already prepare the next track that will be played as soon as the current one is finished. The difference with direct selection of a track or disc is that playback of the prepared track starts only after the current track is finished (i.e. not right away).

	During playback of an audio CD, press the NEXT SELECTION button on the DV-C501 or the remote controller to activate this function.The NEXT indicator flashes and the disc number and track number disappear on the display.
	Use the DISC 1 – 5 buttons (or DISC + and DISC –) to select the disc that contains the next track you want to listen to.The number of the selected disc and the “AL” indicator flash on the display.If you wish to play all tracks of the selected disc, press the NEXT SELEC-TION button again to confirm the opera-tion. (If you do not press the NEXT SELECTION button, the operation will be confirmed when the number and the “AL” indicator stop flashing.AL: means that all tracks will be played back.Skip to Step 3 to select the track number.
[IMAGE]	Select the track using the numeric buttons.The number of the selected track lights up on the display.In that case, the display looks as follows:

Notes:

• This function is only available for audio CDs (when the CD indicator lights).
• You need to press one of these buttons within 8 seconds after pressing NEXT SELECTION. Otherwise, the Next Selection function will be cancelled. In that case, start again with step 1.

Tip:

• You can also use the DISC SKIP ◀ /▶ button on the DV-C501 to select the next disc.

■ Checking the next selection

Press the NEXT SELECTION button to confirm your selection. The disc number flashes and the track number lights up continuously. After a few moments, the disc and track numbers of the currently playing track reappear.

You can check the next selection by pressing the NEXT SELECTION button.

As soon as the current track is finished, the DVD Changer will play back the prepared track (or disc if you selected "AL").

Notes:

• The ◀◀/▶▶▶ buttons are disabled while the Next Selection function is activated. Pressing the DISC SKIP ◀/▶▶ buttons or DISC +/- buttons will cancel the Next Select function.
• You can only prepare one track with Next Selection. See "Programming Memory Sequences" on page 22 for how to prepare a series of tracks. Preparing yet another track before the previously entered Next Selection command has been executed overrides your first setting, so that only the second Next Selection is carried out.
• If you stop playback by pressing the ■ STOP button, the Next Selection function is cancelled.

■ Cancelling the Next Selection function

If you decide not to take advantage of the Next Selection function after all, proceed as follows:

1. Press the NEXT SELECTION button. The disc numbers flash on the display

2. Press the CLEAR button.

3. Press the NEXT SELECTION button again. The NEXT indicator goes dark and the function is cancelled.

Using the DVD Changer as CD player

Since your DV-C501 allows you to insert up to five discs in any combination (DVD video discs, Video CDs, audio CDs), there may be times when you only want to listen to music and avoid having to press the DISC SKIP ▶/▶ or DISC +/- buttons several times to skip to the next audio CD. In that case, proceed as follows:

1

Press the CD PLAY button while the DV-C501 is stopped or playing back a CD.

The RPT message appears on the display and the REPEAT indicator lights to signal that all audio CDs will be repeated in sequence.

The indication changes in 2-3 seconds.

Press the CD PLAY button again to cancel CD Mode.

The RPT message disappears and the REPEAT indicator goes dark again to signal that the DVD Changer has returned to normal playback mode.

Notes:

• The CD PLAY button does not work while the DV-C501 is playing back a disc other than an audio CD. You first need to press the STOP button. Next, press the CD PLAY button to enter CD PLAY Mode. The DVD Changer starts playing back the audio CD in the disc drawer with the lowest number.
• Another way of selecting only audio tracks is to take advantage of the DV-C501's Memory function. See "Programming Memory Sequences" on page 22 for details.

Your DV-C501 allows you to select the following audio-related settings. The number of options depends on the DVD video disc you are playing back. It is not possible to select an option for which there is no data on the DVD.

Audio Playback Settings

Language: A DVD video disc may contain several language versions of a movie. Select the preferred language.

Recording system: Select the recording system that best matches the input capabilities of your amplifier or receiver. For example, there is little point in selecting "☐☐ 6CH" if your amplifier does not support Dolby Digital 5.1. Depending on the selected recording system, the DV-C501 automatically converts the audio data to an acceptable format for your amplifier.

The DV-C501 accepts the Dolby Digital, DTS, and PCM recording systems. Other systems cannot be played back. See also the conversion table below for details about the available options. Dolby Digital 5.1 Channel is displayed as "☐☐6CH."

1	AUDIO	Press the AUDIO button during play-back of a DVD video disc. The current Audio settings are displayed for about 3 seconds.

16:9 Widescreen:

Select this setting for a 16:9 wide-screen TV.

Notes:

• The picture size is preset on the DVD video disc. Therefore, the playback picture may not conform to the picture size you select.
• When you play DVD video discs that only contain 4:3 picture size information, any other TV Shape setting you may select is ignored.
• If you select "16:9 Widescreen" while your TV set is equipped with a 4:3 screen, the picture will be horizontally distorted (compressed) during playback. Always set the TV Shape function according to the TV set your are using.

Black Level DVD VCD

This function allows you to optimize the black picture content (true black instead of dark gray), and hence the video quality.

U.S. & Canadian models

Enhanced: Enhanced black level. (0 IRE)

Normal: Standard black level. (7.5 IRE)

Other area models

Normal: Standard black level (0 IRE)

Light: Brighter than in "Normal" (7.5 IRE)

PAL/Auto\* DVD

PAL: Choose this option when you wish to watch DVD video discs in the PAL video format. This requires that you connect the DVD Changer to a PAL television set.

Auto: The DVD Changer automatically selects either the PAL or the NTSC video system depending on the format used by the DVD video disc you are playing back. Choose this option if your television set is of the multisystem type (PAL/NTSC compatible). If the DVD video disc contains some footage in the PAL format and other scenes in the NTSC system, the image may briefly distort while the DVD Changer switches to the appropriate format.

* U.S. and Canadian models do not support the advanced setting function.

AUDIO Settings

Audio Out Select

This function allows you to select the outputs and format for audio playback. Always select the setting that best matches your amplifier's capabilities and input connectors. The "Bitstream" and "PCM" options refer to the DV-C501's digital outputs. See also "Other Audio Playback Options" on page 12.

Bitstream: Select this option if your amplifier is equipped with a digital input (optical or coaxial) and a Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG1, or MPEG2 decoder. The DV-C501 outputs digital audio information in the Bitstream format when you play back a DVD video disc with Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG1, or MPEG2 encoding.

Analog2Ch: Select this option if the DV-C501 is connected to the audio inputs of your TV set, or an analog input pair of your external amplifier. Note that even this analog connection may allow you to take advantage of the amplifier's Dolby Pro Logic processor.

PCM: Select this option if the DV-C501 is connected to a digital input of your amplifier and if you would like the sound to be played back in stereo (e.g. for audio CDs). If you select "PCM", the audio data of DVD video discs with Dolby Digital, MPEG1, or MPEG2 encoding is automatically converted to 2-channel PCM, so that you lose the surround information. See also the table on page 29.

Dynamic Range Control

Dynamic Range Control allows you to “compress” the dynamic range of a DVD’s sound track, so that you can lower the volume without losing extremely soft signals. This is especially useful when you are watching a movie late at night.

Off: The full dynamic range is maintained.

On: Low-level signals are slightly boosted so as to remain audible at a low volume setting.

Notes:

• This function is only available during playback of Dolby Digital-encoded DVD video discs.
• The degree of dynamic range reduction may differ depending on the DVD video disc.

Karaoke Vocal DVD

DVD Karaoke discs sometimes also contain a vocal track you probably don't need for Karaoke applications. That is why the DV-C501 allows you to switch the lead vocal off.

Off: The lead vocal track is muted.

On: If available on the selected DVD Karaoke disc, the lead vocal track is output.

Notes:

• The Karaoke Vocal feature is only available during playback of Dolby Digital-encoded (multi-channel) DVD Karaoke discs.
- For optimum Karaoke enjoyment, be sure to use appropriate audio equipment, such as an external amplifier.

Extended Audio Feature

Some DVD video discs contain a special track that describes the on-screen actions for visually impaired persons. Your DV-C501 is set to automatically output this track if available. If this is not necessary, switch this function off.

Off: The Extended Audio Feature track is muted.

On: The Extended Audio Feature is active.

DISPLAY Settings

On-Screen Displays

This function allows you to activate or suppress the display of on-screen icons that inform you about the operational status.

Off: Operational icons or messages (e.g. "Play", "☐") are not displayed.

On: Operational icons or messages (e.g. "Play", "∞") are displayed on-screen.

OSD Background Color

This function allows you to select the background color for the on-screen menu.

Blue: Blue background.

Gray: Gray background.

Extended Subtitle Features DVD

Some DVD video discs contain special subtitles, an enhancement of closed captioning for hearing-impaired persons. The DVD Changer automatically displays these special subtitles.

Off: The special subtitles are not displayed.

On: The special subtitles are displayed.

Screen Saver DVD

The screen saver function protects your TV screen from burn-in of images that are displayed for too long. If you also work with a computer, you probably know how it works. The screen saver is especially useful if you often use the Pause ("still") function and tend to forget to switch it off. See page 16.

Off: The screen saver will not blank out the screen after the delay time has elapsed.

On: The screen saver will come on whenever necessary.

OPERATION Settings

Pause/Still

This function allows you to obtain an even better quality for still pictures. Such pictures are displayed when you pause playback of a DVD video disc. See also page 16.

Auto: For normal use. The image quality should be sufficient for most applications.

Frame: Still pictures are clearer thanks to a higher resolution.

Parental Lock

DVD video discs equipped with the Parental Lock function allow you to decide what exactly can be viewed on your DV-C501, which is especially useful if you have children. For example: you could select a level where violent scenes unsuitable for children are skipped and replaced with more suitable scenes, or prevent playback of a disc altogether.

Whether the Parental Lock function actually works depends on the DVD video disc in question, because it needs to contain the software capable of responding to this function. Parental Lock is secured by means of a 4-digit code to avoid that your children bypass this function.

Ask your dealer or rental service for details about the Parental Lock support of a given DVD video disc. Also note that the meaning of the Parental Lock levels depends on the country whose rating standards are used by the DVD video disc.

Off: The Parental Lock feature is not active. To select the "Off" setting, perform steps 1 and 2 below.

On: Switching on Parental Lock involves specifying the highest level that can be viewed. You cannot just switch this function on without selecting a level. Careful: if you only carry out steps 1 and 2, Parental Lock will be switched off. Be sure to perform steps 1 – 4 below.

1. Press the ENTER button.

2. Enter the 4-digit code via the numeric buttons on the remote controller, and press the ENTER button. If you entered the wrong code, press the CLEAR button before pressing ENTER, and enter your 4-digit code again.

OPERATION Settings (continued)

3. Press the ◀ / ▶buttons to select the country whose standards were used to rate the DVD video disc.

See the information supplied with the DVD for details.

U.S. & Canadian models Other area models

4. Press the ▲▼buttons to select the Parental Lock level, then press the ENTER button.

U.S. & Canadian models Other area models

It is now impossible to play back DVD video discs rated higher than the selected level. For example, when you select level 7 ("Viewable"), discs rated higher than level 7 are locked out ("Locked") and cannot be played back.

The Parental Lock level is equivalent to the following USA movie ratings:

Level 7: NC-17

Level 6: R

Level 4: PG 13

Level 3: PG

Level 1: G

The parental lock levels for “Canada” are included for future use. Since they are different from the US ratings, carefully check what they correspond to before buying new DVD video discs with the Canadian Parental Lock system as they become available.

■ Changing the Parental Lock level

Perform steps 2 - 4 above.

■ Changing the 4-digit Code

a) After selecting a level or "Off," press the STOP button four times, followed by the ENTER button.

The current 4-digit code is cleared.

b) Press the numeric buttons to enter a new 4-digit security code.
c) Press the ENTER button.

Be sure to either memorize this code or to write down and store it in a safe place.

Title Stop DVD

This function allows you to specify what happens when the DV-C501 reaches the end of a DVD Title.

Off: The DV-C501 continues after playback of a Title is completed. Selecting this option also changes the behavior of the DOWN ◀◀ and UP ▶buttons. See "Selecting the Next/Previous Chapter or Track" on page 19.

On: The DV-C501 stops after playback of a title is completed.

PBC (Playback Control) VCD

Off: The menu screen of the selected Video CD (if available) is not displayed.

On: The menu screen of a Video CD with PBC functionality is displayed on screen.
