Frequently Asked Questions - DV-DC996 YAMAHA

How do I connect the Yamaha DV-DC996 to my TV?

Use the composite video (yellow RCA), S-Video, or component video cables. For audio, use the red/white RCA cables or coaxial digital cable. Connect to corresponding inputs on your TV.

The disc will not play. What should I check?

Ensure the disc is inserted label side up and is not scratched or damaged. Check that the disc is compatible (DVD, CD, MP3). Clean the disc with a soft cloth. Also ensure the region code matches (Region 1).

How do I clean the DVD player?

Unplug the unit. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. To clean the lens, use a commercially available DVD lens cleaner disc. Do not use liquid cleaners directly.

Can I play DVDs from other regions?

The DV-DC996 is locked to Region 1. DVDs from other regions will not play. Region codes are set by the manufacturer and cannot be changed by the user.

Why is there no picture on my TV?

Check that the TV is set to the correct input source. Verify the video cable connections are secure. Ensure the DVD player is powered on and a disc is loaded. If using component video, make sure the plugs match the colors.

Why is there no sound?

Check that the audio cables are properly connected to the TV or receiver. Ensure the TV volume is not muted. If using digital audio out, your receiver must support Dolby Digital or PCM.

The remote control is not working. What can I do?

Replace the batteries with new ones. Point the remote directly at the player's sensor. Remove any obstacles. If still not working, try resetting the player by unplugging it for 30 seconds.

How do I play MP3 discs?

Burn MP3 files onto a CD-R or DVD-R in ISO 9660 format. Insert the disc and use the remote to navigate the file list. The player supports MP3 bitrates up to 320 kbps.

What does 'No Disc' mean?

The player cannot detect a disc. Ensure a disc is inserted correctly. Clean the disc and try again. If the problem persists, the lens may be dirty or the disc is unrecognizable.

Can I connect the player to a home theater system?

Yes, use the coaxial digital audio output to connect to a receiver with a digital input. For video, use component or composite out. The player outputs Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams if supported.

REMOTE CONTROL

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

Diagram showing a device with labeled parts and directional arrows indicating motion or movement.

1 Turn the remote control over and slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow.
2 Insert the batteries (AA, R06, UM-3 type) according to the polarity markings on the inside of the battery compartment.
3 Close the battery compartment cover.

Battery Replacement

If the remote control operates only when it is close to the unit, the batteries are weak. Replace all the batteries with new ones.

Notes

• Use only AA, R06 or UM-3 batteries for replacement.
• Be sure the battery polarity is correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.)
• Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time.
• If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come into contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

Using the Remote Control

Remote control sensor Within approximately 6 m (20 feet) 30° 30°

The remote control transmits a directional infrared beam. Be sure to aim the remote control directly at the infrared sensor during operation. When the sensor is covered or there is a large object between the remote control and the sensor, the sensor cannot receive signals. The sensor may not be able to receive signals properly when it is exposed to direct sunlight or a strong artificial light (such as a fluorescent or strobe light). In this case, change the direction of the light or reposition the unit to avoid direct lighting.

Notes

• Handle the remote control with care.
• Do not spill water, tea or other liquids on the remote control.
• Do not drop the remote control.
• Do not leave or store the remote control in the following conditions:
  – high humidity or temperature such as near a heater, stove or bath;
• dusty places; or
• extremely low temperature.

CONNECTIONS

CAUTION

- Never connect this unit and other equipment to power supply until all connections have been completed.

Be sure all connections are made correctly, observing the color-coding of terminals of both this unit and the equipment to be connected. Also refer to the instructions of the equipment to be connected.

This unit has COAXIAL and OPTICAL digital output terminals. Connect one or both of them to your AV amplifier equipped with Dolby digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder using each specific cable (separate purchase).

■ When connecting the optical fiber cable

• Remove the cover when using the OPTICAL terminal. Keep the cover and attach it when the terminal is not being used to protect it from dust.
• Bend an optical cable as little as possible.
• Use commercially available optical fiber cable that conforms to EIA standards. Other cables may not function correctly.

If your AV amplifier has video output terminals, connect your amplifier (and then to your video monitor) so that you can use one video monitor for several different video sources (LD, VCR etc.) by simply switching the input source selector of your amplifier.

This unit has three types of video output terminals. Use one of them in accordance with the input terminals of the equipment to be connected.

Note

- Do not connect this unit to a video monitor through a video cassette recorder. If you do so, the picture may not be played back properly due to the copyright protection technology incorporated in this unit.

■ Component Video terminal

U.S.A, Canada, Australia and General models

Component video connection achieves high fidelity in reproducing colors (better performance than S-video connection), separating video signal into luminance (Y, terminal color-coded as green), and color difference ( P_B , blue/ P_R , red). Use commercially available coaxial cables. Amplifier (and Video monitor) with component input is required. Observe the color of each terminal when connecting. If your amplifier does not have component output terminals, connecting this unit's component output directly to your video monitor's component input can reproduce better video image.

Note

- Do not connect this unit's COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals to component video input terminals special for HD (High-Definition) TV.

■ S-Video terminal

S (separate) video connection achieves a clearer picture than composite video connection by separating color and luminance when transmitting signals. Use commercially available S-video cable. Amplifier (and Video monitor) with S-video input is required.

■ Composite Video terminal (1, 2)

Use RCA video cable supplied with this unit when connecting this unit to a video monitor.

VIDEO 1, 2 terminals of VIDEO OUT output the same signal. You can connect one to your amplifier's input using supplied RCA cable, and the other to another amplifier or a video monitor.

■ 21-pin SCART terminal

U.K. and Europe models

If your video monitor has only 21-pin terminal for video input, and you want to connect it directly to this unit, you can use this unit's 21-pin SCART output terminal (this terminal does not output RGB component signals).

Remote Control in/out Terminals [U.S.A. and Canada models]

[U.S.A. model]

Interior view of a computer interface showing ports, connectors, and a control panel (no readable text or symbols)

These terminals are used for custom installation system that transmits remote control signals via cables. Connect this unit's REMOTE CONTROL IN to the Remote control output of the control unit of your system.

By connecting this unit's REMOTE CONTROL OUT to another piece of equipment's Remote control input terminal, you can also operate that equipment with the system remote control.

** When connecting equipment which does not have decoder for each format, be sure to select this position to prevent noise output as it could damage your ears and your speakers.
*** Depending on disc's capability, MPEG audio bitstream may not be output properly.
