Connection

Before connection

• Disconnect the AC power supply cord.
• Turn off all equipment and read the appropriate operating instructions.

The equipment connections described are examples. Peripheral equipment and optional cables sold separately unless otherwise indicated.

Connection to a television

This page explains how to connect the unit to a television and set it up so you hear the audio through the television's speakers. To get the full benefit from the powerful multi-channel audio found on DVDs, you should connect an amplifier and speakers.

Do not place the unit on amplifiers or equipment that may become hot.

The heat can damage the unit.

Connect your unit directly to your television.

Do not connect the unit through your video cassette recorder when setting up your home entertainment system, because the picture may not be played correctly due to the copy guard.

Basic connection to a television

You can connect the audio cable to the 2-channel audio input terminals of an analog amplifier or system component to enjoy stereo or Dolby Pro Logic.

For better pictures

COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminal

These terminals can be used for either interlace or progressive output (→ page 9) and provide a purer picture than the S VIDEO OUT terminal. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors. The description of the component video input terminals depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals of the same color.

● After making this connection, change the black level for a better picture. (→ page 20, Video—Black Level Control)

S VIDEO OUT terminal

The S video terminal achieves a more vivid picture than the VIDEO OUT terminal by separating the chrominance (C) and luminance (Y) signals. (Actual results depend on the television.)

When making this connection, ensure you connect the audio cables to the corresponding audio input terminals on the television.

Speaker setting

For analog connection (see page 7)

Change speaker presence and size (a), delay time (b), and channel balance (c) to suit the speakers you have connected when you select "Multi-channel" (3 or more speakers are connected).

Speaker presence and size (a)

1. Press [▲, ▼, ◀, ▶] to select the item and press [ENTER].
2. Press [▲, ▼] to select the setting and press [ENTER].

Icon examples:

Surround speaker (LS)

No Large Small

• Large: When the speaker supports low-frequency (under 100 Hz) reproduction. - Small: Select when the speaker does not support low-frequency reproduction.

If the subwoofer is set to "No", the front speakers will automatically be set to "Large".

Delay time (b)

(Effective when playing multi-channel discs)

For optimum listening with 5.1-channel sound, all the speakers, except for the subwoofer, should be the same distance from the seating position. If you have to place the center or surround speakers closer to the seating position, adjust the delay time to make up for the difference.

(d) Center speaker

Difference Setting
Approx. 50 cm (1 1/2 feet)	1.3 ms
Approx. 100 cm (3 feet) 2.6 ms
Approx. 150 cm (5 feet) 3.9 ms
Approx. 200 cm (6 feet) 5.3 ms
1 Surround speakers
Difference Setting
Approx. 200 cm (6 feet) 5.3 ms
Approx. 400 cm (12 feet) 10.6 ms
Approx. 600 cm (18 feet) 15.9 ms

If distances ① (from the center speaker) and ① (from the surround speakers) are the same as or greater than ② (from the front speakers), leave the delay time as "0", the factory preset. If either distance ③ or ④ is less than ⑤, find the difference in the relevant table and change to the recommended setting.

Changing the delay time

1. Press [▲, ▼, ◀, ▶] to select the delay time box and press [ENTER].
2. Press [▲, ▼] to adjust the delay time and press [ENTER].

Channel balance (©)

1. Press [▲, ▼, ◀, ▶] to select "Test" and press [ENTER]. A test signal is output from one speaker at a time, starting with the front left speaker and proceeding clockwise.

Front (L) Center Front (R) Surround (LS) Surround (RS)

1. While listening to the test signal, press [▲, ▼] to adjust the volume of the center and surround speakers so they are the same apparent volume as the front speakers (-6 to +6). (The front speakers cannot be adjusted here.)

3. Press [ENTER].

The test signal stops.

- No signal is output for the subwoofer. To adjust its volume, play something, then return to this screen to adjust to suit your taste.

To finish the speaker setting

Press [▲, ▼, ◀, ▶] to select "Exit" and press [ENTER].

[Note]

The unit may be unable to output as set here due to limitations imposed by the unit itself or the disc being played. (The display's "D.MIX" indicator goes out in these cases.)

Bitstream

The digital form of multi-channel data (e.g. 5.1 channel) before decoding.

Decoder

A decoder restores coded audio signals on DVDs to normal.

Dolby Digital

This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

Dolby Pro Logic

A surround system where a 4-channel audio track is recorded as 2 channels and then is restored to 4 channels for play. The surround channel is monaural and can reproduce up to 7 kHz.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.

Film and video

DVD-Videos are recorded using either film or video. Usually, film is recorded at 24 frames per second, the rate movies are filmed at, while video is recorded at 30 frames per second.

Frame still and field still

Frames are the still pictures that make moving pictures. About thirty are shown each second. A frame still may appear blurred but overall quality is high.

Two fields appear alternately to make up one frame. A field still is not blurred but picture quality is lower.

Interlace and progressive output

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (I) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480P.

I/P/B

MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVD-Video, codes frames using these 3 picture types.

I: Intra coded picture

This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture.

P: Predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated based on past I or P-pictures.

B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture

This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation)

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.
