Before You Start1
Features
Equipped with an i.LINK port for digital transfers of high-quality media By simply connecting a single i.LINK cable between components with i.LINK ports, you can get direct digital transfers of not only DVD-Video audio but also multi-channel audio such as Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio, which previously could only be connected in analog with five audio cords, as well as 2-channel audio like conventional CDs (see page 55).
When transferring DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD audio digitally by i.LINK, this unit employs the Jitter Free Transfer System (JFTS), a technology that removes jitter from transfers. By combining this unit with JFTS-compatible components, you can play jitter-free audio.
An HDCP-compatible HDMI\*1 terminal is provided to ensure the very highest picture and digital sound quality by fully digital transmission.
This unit comes with a High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) jack, an extended DVI interface for next-generation televisions. This interface allows transfers of uncompressed digital video and digital audio (audio streams like Dolby Digital and DTS as well as linear PCM) with a single connector. HDMI standard Ver. 1.1 compatibility means the unit can also transfer DVD-Audio multi-channel audio over HDMI.
End-to-end full-digital transfers with all-digital processing make it possible to enjoy realistic video without any of the image degradation from AD/DA conversions. And with the inclusion of our newly developed, high-precision 10-bit scaler IC, the unit can up-convert 480p video signals to 720p, 1080i, and 1080p video output signals by way of the scaling function and the HDMI jack (see page 52).
High quality 14-bit/216MHz Video D/A converter\*2
The unit uses a Video D/A converter that performs D/A conversion of all video signals in 14-bits and can perform 8X over-sampling to let you enjoy beautiful video possible with DVD. Furthermore, NSV technology suppresses noise during DA conversion.
Support for 10-bit advanced progressive NTSC/PAL with newly developed chroma-error compensation.
Our newly developed chroma-error compensation completely eliminates the chroma error that occurs near perpendicular edges in color-difference signals.
dts 96kHz/24 bit compatibility
It is equipped with a dts 96/24 decoder that lets you enjoy dts audio with sound quality as high as 96kHz/24bit. This product does not support dts 88.2kHz/24bit.
Dolby Headphone compatibility
The Head Phone can reproduce the world of Dolby Surround with realistic ambience like that you would experience using a 5.1 ch system (Excluding Super Audio CD) (see page 13).
Lip Sync capability
When it is connected to a plasma display or projector, it corrects the time lag between the video and audio created by the video circuit processing time in units of 10msec up to a maximum of 200msec. It precisely synchronizes the actors' voices and the movements of their mouths (see page 31).
Equipped with a Super Audio CD Distance compensation function
It can perform Distance adjustment of Super Audio CD that was formerly impossible by converting it to PCM (see page 44).
Superlative audio performance with Super Audio CD, DVD-Audio, Dolby ^*3 Digital and DTS ^4 software

The DV9600 delivers breathtaking sound quality with Super Audio CD, DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital and DTS discs.
Capture
You can store a photograph of your children as background (see page 29).

* You only need to make this setting if you connected this system to another component (AV amplifier, etc.) using one of the digital outputs.
Digital Out
- Default setting: On
If at any time you need to switch off the digital audio output, set this to Off, otherwise leave it On. Note that you can't switch on/off the optical and coaxial outputs individually.
Note
- Super Audio CD will not output digital sound.
- Audio is not output from the Digital Out plugs when i.LINK is connected. (page 55)
Dolby Digital Out\*
- Default setting: Bit Stream
If your AV amplifier (or other connected component) is Dolby Digital compatible, set to Bit Stream, otherwise set to PCM.
DTS Out\*
- Default setting: Bit Stream
If your AV amplifier (or other connected component) has a built-in DTS decoder, set this to Bit Stream, otherwise set to PCM. Check the manual that came with the other component if you're unsure whether it is DTS compatible.
Important
- If you set to Bit Stream with a non-DTS compatible amplifier, noise will be output when you play a DTS disc.
- This setting cannot be chosen when playing a dts-CD while HDMI is connected. The setting is dependent on the connected component.
MPEG Out\*
- Default setting: PCM
If your AV amplifier (or other connected component) is compatible with MPEG audio, set this to Bit Stream, otherwise set it to PCM (MPEG audio is converted to more compatible PCM audio). Check the manual that came with the other component if you're unsure whether it is MPEG audio compatible.
DVD Setup Menu6
PCM Down Sample\*
- Default setting: On
If the digital input of your AV amplifier (or other connected component) is compatible with high sampling rates (96kHz), set this to Off, otherwise set it to On (96kHz audio is converted to a more compatible 48kHz). Check the manual that came with the other component if you're unsure whether it is 96kHz compatible.
Note
- Even when set to Off, some discs will only output down sampled audio through the digital outputs.
High sampling rate DVD-Audio discs (192kHz or 176.4kHz) always output audio down sampled to 96kHz or 88.2kHz through the digital outputs.
• This is set to Off when HDMI is connected.

Audio Out
- Default setting: 2 Channel
If you connected this player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog outputs (front, surround, center and subwoofer outs), set this to 5.1 Channel; if you connected only the stereo outputs, set to 2 Channel.
Set this to 5.1 Channel when outputting multi-channel audio from the i.LINK port; when outputting 2-channel audio, set to 2 Channel.
Note
- Even if you set Audio Out to 5.1 Channel, you'll only get sound from all speakers when playing a multi-channel DVD-Audio disc, multi-channel Super Audio CD disc, Dolby Digital or DTS encoded DVD disc.
- If you set to 2 Channel, Dolby Digital and DTS are mixed down to two channels so you still hear all the audio recorded on the disc.
- Some DVD-Audio discs don't allow down-mixing of audio. These discs always output multi-channel audio regardless of the setting made here.
• Sound recorded on MPEG is outputted on 2 channel even if Audio Out is set to 5.1 CH. - This setting cannot be chosen when HDMI is connected while either Auto or Multi PCM selected for the HDMI audio setting. (page 54)
• Audio is not output from the audio output jacks when i.LINK is connected. (page 55)

Audio DRC
- Default setting: Off
When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume, it's easy to lose the low level sounds completely, including some of the dialog. Switching on Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) can help things by bringing up the low level sounds, while keeping the lid on high level peaks.
The Off setting leaves the original dynamics intact; On 'squashes' the dynamics; but exactly how much difference you can hear between the settings will depend on the material you're watching.

TV Aspect
- Default setting: 16:9 Wide
If you have a widescreen TV, select the 16:9 Wide setting—widescreen DVD software is then shown using the full screen area. When playing software recorded in conventional (4:3) format, the settings on your TV will determine how the material is presented—see the manual that came with your TV for details on what options are available. If your TV does not have settings for how 4:3 sources look, choose the 16:9 Squeeze setting. The picture you see on your TV will be determined by the disc. See page 46 for more information.
If you have a conventional TV, choose either 4:3 L-Box or 4:3 Pan Scan. In Letter Box mode, widescreen software is shown with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Pan & Scan chops the sides off widescreen material to make it fit the 4:3 screen (so even though the picture looks larger on the screen, you're actually seeing less of the movie).

VIDEO SETUP TV Aspect : 16.3 Wide Components Out : Interface Pease Mode : Auto Back Ground : Logo Screen Saver : On TV System : Multi Start Video Out : Video ENTER RETURN SETUP- Progressive – Use this setting with TVs and monitors that have progressive scan component video inputs. Check the TV's instruction manual if you are not sure about this.
- Interlace – Use this setting with regular TVs that are not compatible with progressive scan. Check the TV's instruction manual if you are not sure about this.

Tip
If this player is set to output progressive-scan video, it's possible that the picture will appear stretched when playing discs recorded in 4:3 format. This happens when the TV's aspect ratio is set to 'Full'. To see the picture in its correct aspect ratio, change the TV setting to 'Normal'.
If your TV doesn't have settings to change the aspect ratio of the picture, set this player to 16:9 Squeeze.

Note
- If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and choose one of the progressive scan settings, you will not be able to see any picture at all. With your TV connected using either the composite or S-Video terminals, choose the Interlace setting in the Component Video menu.
- Compatibility of this unit with progressive-scan TVs:
Note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this unit and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of progressive scan picture problems, try switching the connection to the "STANDARD DEFINITION" output.
Pause Mode
- Default setting: Auto
The player uses one of two processes when displaying a still frame from a DVD disc. The default Auto setting automatically chooses the best setting each time.
- Field – produces a stable, generally shake-free image.
- Frame – produces a sharper image, but more prone to shake than field stills.

MOD. (Modulation) PAL
- Shrink
Most models of the newly developed count-down PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage.
- If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to view NTSC discs, because the picture may roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC to PAL conversion.

Note
- When the selected format is changed to a different format from the TV format in which a program was recorded, the picture may become jerky and the upper and lower parts of the screen may disappear. The above setting should be specified to match the format of your own TV.
- Changes can be made only in the Stop mode. When RESUME is indicated on the display, put the player in the Stop mode by repressing ■ (STOP) button.
SCART Video Out
- Default setting: Video
These settings are only applicable if you're using the A/V EURO CONNECTOR SCART-type connector.

Important
If you make a setting here that is incompatible with your TV, the TV may not display any picture at all. If this happens either switch everything off and reconnect to the TV using either the supplied composite video cable, or an S-Video cable (see pages 10-11 for more on this), or reset the unit (see page 54 for how to do this).
- Video – Compatible with all TVs, but lowest quality of the three AV settings.
- S-Video – Almost the same quality as RGB, but can give better results if you are using a long SCART cable.
- RGB – If your TV is compatible, this setting gives the best picture quality.

When transferring DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD audio digitally by i.LINK, this unit employs the Jitter Free Transfer System (JFTS), a technology that removes jitter from transfers. By combining this unit with JFTS-compatible components, you can play jitter-free audio.

Note
- The i.LINK audio interface does not transport video signals. A separate connection is necessary for video signals.
- i.LINK cable specifications: S400 or better; 3.5 meters or shorter; 4-pin connectors
- 96 kHz audio from copyright-protected DVD-Video discs is converted to 48 kHz before being output from the i.LINK port.
- Set Audio Output under Audio Setup 1 to 5.1 Channel when outputting multi-channel audio from DVD-Audio discs (see page 39).
- The play control of this unit and the input selector of an i.LINK-connected AV amplifier can be linked together (Auto Play) (see page 56).
- When the i.LINK indicator (i.LINK) on the unit's display is lit, audio is not output from the digital audio output plugs, the analog audio output jacks, the HDMI jack, or the headphone jack. If you wish to output audio from the digital audio output plugs, the analog audio output jacks, the HDMI jack, or the headphone jack, set Audio Out from i.LINK Setup to Off (see page 55).
- The i.LINK indicator (i.LINK) on the unit's display only lights when the connected amplifier is powered and its input selector is set to i.LINK.
DVD Setup Menu6
- i.LINK can transport three formats: "i.LINK AUDIO (A&M protocol)" used by this unit, "MPEG-2 TS" for BS digital, and "DV" used by DVD recorders and digital video players. Data cannot be forwarded correctly when this unit is connected to components or computer peripherals that do not support the i.LINK AUDIO format. Furthermore, such connections may cause the unit to operate incorrectly.
- During playback at an i.LINK component, do not unplug other i.LINK components, plug in new i.LINK components, or turn components on or off. Doing so many interrupt the audio playback.
- Some i.LINK components cannot relay data when power is off or in standby mode. Please refer to the owner's manual of your connected i.LINK component. This unit cannot relay i.LINK data in standby power mode.
- i.LINK components indicate the maximum data transfer rate they support near the i.LINK port. The maximum i.LINK data transfer rates are defined as 100/200/400 Mbps (all rates are approximate). S200 indicates a maximum transfer rate of 200 Mbps; S400 indicates 400 Mbps. This unit has a maximum i.LINK data transfer rate of 400 Mbps. The actual transfer rate, however, may be slower than 400 Mbps due to a component's specification or when connected to an S100 or S200 device. Whenever possible, connect components with the same maximum data transfer rate in parallel.
(Mbps is an abbreviation for megabits per second and indicates the amount of data that can be communicated in one second. At 400 Mbps, 400 megabits of data are transferred in one second.)
- i.LINK functions are not guaranteed to connect and operate among all i.LINK components. The functions of each respective component determine whether data or control signals can be exchanged among i.LINK components.
- This unit's i.LINK module was designed based on IEEE Std. 1394a-2000, Standard for High Performance Serial Bus.
- i.LINK and the i.LINK logo are trademarks of the Sony Corporation.
- IEEE 1394 is an international standard formulated by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers U.S. (IEEE).
i.LINK Network
i.LINK components can be connected in the following configurations when exchanging i.LINK AUDIO signals (A&M Protocol).
1. Daisy-chain connection
Each pair of components is connected with a single i.LINK cable in series. Up to 17 components can be connected in this configuration.
2. Tree (tower) connection
Each pair of components is connected with a single i.LINK cable in series and in parallel. Up to 63 components can be connected in this configuration.
Note
Always make i.LINK connections between any pair of components with one cable. Do not under any circumstance connect two components with two cables (forming a loop) because a component will receive the signals it outputs causing it to operate incorrectly.
Copyright Protection System
Both the player and the amplifier must support Digital Transmission Content Protection (DTCP), a copyright protection system, in order to play Super Audio CD or DVD-Audio (excluding free-to-copy discs) audio over an i.LINK connection. DTCP is a copy-protection technology that includes data encryption and component authentication. This unit supports DTCP. Please refer to the owner's manual of your amplifier to determine if it supports DTCP.

Handling discs
When holding discs of any type, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge.

Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance. Take care also not to scratch the label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as the recorded side, scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable.
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown in the diagram below.


Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes.
Don't wipe the disc surface using circular strokes.
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records.
Storing discs
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable than vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and store discs correctly. When you're not using a disc, return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight).
Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc.

For more detailed care information see the instructions that come with discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the player.
Discs to avoid
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it in your player—you could end up damaging the unit.

This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended for this product.

Cleaning the pickup lens
The DVD player's lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest MARANTZ-authorized service center. Although lens cleaners for CD players are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.
Problems with condensation
Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won't damage the player, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it:
Do...
√ Use in a well-ventilated room.
√ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.
Don't...
✗ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.
✗ Place on a window sill or other place where the player will be exposed to direct sunlight.
✗ Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
✗ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.
✗ Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference—especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.
✗ Use in a kitchen or other room where the player may be exposed to smoke or steam.
✗ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.
