DV-L55_En.book Page 10 Friday, May 28, 2004 12:02PM SA Before Using the DV-L55

Installing the Batteries

1 Openthe battery compartment, as shown.

Insert the two supplied batteries (AA) in accordance with the polarity diagram inside the battery compartment.

The supplied batteries should last for about six months, although this will vary with usage.

If the remote controller doesn't work reliably, try replacing both batteries.

Don't mix new and old batteries, or different types of batteries.

If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent possible leakage and corrosion.

Flat batteries should be removed as soon as possible to prevent possible leakage and corrosion.

Using the Remote Controller

To use the remote controller, point it at the DV-L55's remote control sensor, as shown below.

Remote control sensor

The remote controller may not work reliably if the DV-L55 is subjected to bright light, such as direct sun- light or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this in mind when installing the DV-L55.

If another remote controller of the same type is used in the same room, or the DV-LSS is installed close to

equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control- |

ler may not work reliably. Don't put anything, such as a book, on the remote con- troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert- ently, thereby draining the batteries.

The remote controller may not work reliably if the DV-LSS is installed in a rack behind colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing the DV-LS5. The remote controller will not work if there’s an obsta- cle between it and the DV-LS5’s remote control sen- sor.

Connecting to an AV Receiver

Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound from the TV speakers with the connections on page 17, connecting with an amplifier provides you high quality dynamic sounds.

To reproduce Dolby Digital surround and DTS surround sound, you need to connect to an amplifier with a Dolby Digital and DTS decoder respectively.

Before connecting +_When you connect the DVD Player to the amplifier, be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the mains before making any connections. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.

Connect the plugs securely.

To enjoy surround sound you need to connect this player to an AV receiver using a digital output. This player has both coaxial and optical digital jacks; use whichever is convenient.

In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also connecting using the stereo analog connection.

To record the audio from a CD-R disc etc. to a cassette or CDR recorder that’s connected to the AV receiver, and when your AV receiver has Zone?, you must connect the DV-L55* analog audio outputs to the AV receiver. You’Il probably also want to connect a video output to your AV receiver. You can use any of the video outputs available on this player (the illustration shows a standard (composite) connection).

1. Connect one of DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT jacks on this player to a digital input on your AV receiver.

Connect one or the other

This enables you to listen to surround sound.

For an optical connection, use an optical cable (not sup- plied) to connect the “OPTICAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT® jack to an optical input on your AV receiver. For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable (supplied) to connect the “COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT- PUT” jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.

2. Connect the ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT L/R and VIDEO OUTPUT jacks on this player to a set of analog audio and video inputs on your AV receiver.

The diagram shows standard video connections, but you can alternatively use the S-Video or component video connections if they'’re available.

3. Connect the AV receiver’s video output to a video input on your TV.

+ You usually have to connect the same kind of video cable between your DVD player and AV receiver, and between your AV receiver and TV.

Connecting R1-compatible Components

The remote controller supplied with Onkyo AV receiver or amplifiers can be used to control the DV-L55.

The function of the upper and lower R1 connectors are the same. Connect to either one.

Connecting an RI cable only does not make the sys- tem operational. You must also connect the audio cables as well.

For remote control operation, you must make an ana- log RCA/phono connection between your DV-L55 and the other AV component, even if they are con- nected digitally.

+ Settings: High, Medium, Low, Off (default) When watching Dolby Digital DVDs at low volume, it's easy to lose the quieter sounds completely —including some of the dialog. Switching Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Control) to on can help by bringing up the quieter sounds, while controlling loud peaks.

How much of a difference you hear depends on the mate- rial you're listening to. If the material doesn't have wide variations in volume, you may not notice much change. Notes:

+ Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources.

Audio DRC is only effective through the digital output when Digital Out is set to On, and Dolby Digital Out is set to Dolby Digital > PCM (see “Digital Audio Out settings” on page 41).

The effect of Audio DRC depends on your speakers and AV receiver settings.

Analog audio An electrical signal that directly represents sound. Com- pare this to digital audio which can be an electrical sig- nal, but is an indirect representation of sound. See also “Digital audio”.

The width of a TV screen relative to its height. Conven- tional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the screen is almost square); widescreen models are 16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is high).

An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete intervals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to- digital converter, generating a stream of numbers.

On playback, a digital-to-analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also “Sam- pling frequency” and “Analog audio”. Dolby Digital

Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this high quality surround system is used in many of the finer movie theaters around the world.

The on-screen display shows which channels are active, for example showing 3/2.1. The 3 being the two front channels and the center channel; the 2 being the surround channels, and the .1 being the LFE channel.

DRM DRM (digital rights management) is a type of server software developed to enable secure distribution of paid content over the web, recently incorporated by WMA (Windows Media Audio).

DTS DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is Lis: | a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has become a popular surround sound format for movies. Dynamic range

The difference between the quietest and loudest sounds possible in an audio signal (without distorting or getting lost in noise).

Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks are capable of a very wide dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like effects.

EXIF (Exchangeable Image File)

A file format developed by Fuji Photo Film for digital still cameras. Digital cameras from various manufactur- ers use this compressed file format which carries date, time and thumbnail information, as well as the picture data.

A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate the type of file. For example, “mp3” indicates an MP3 file.

International standard for the volume and file structure of CD-ROM discs.

JPEG A file format used for still images, such as photographs and illustrations. JPEG files are identified by the file extension “jpg” or “.JPG”. Most digital cameras use this format.

MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file format. Files are recognized by their file extension “mp3” or “.MP3”.

An audio format used on Video CDs and some DVD discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio to PCM format for wider compatibility with digital recorders and AV amplifiers. See also “PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)”. MPEG video

The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. Video CD uses the older MPEG-I standard, while DVD uses the newer and much better quality MPEG-2 standard. PEC (PlayBack Control) (Video CD only)

A system of navigating a Video CD through on-screen menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs that you would normally not watch from beginning to end all at once—karaoke discs, for example.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DAT. Excellent quality, but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. For compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DAT) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to PCM. See also “Digital audio”. Regions (DVD-Video only)

These associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have com- patible region codes. You can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some dises are compatible with more than one region (or all regions). Sampling frequency

The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality, but the more digital information is gener- ated, Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements) per second. See also “Digital audio”.

WMA WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and refers to an audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 8 or Windows Media Player for Windows XP.

The DV-L55 displays the wrong messages?

The loaded audio CD uses copy control.

Copy-controlled CDs are special discs that don't conform to the audio CD standard and, therefore, may not work properly with the DV-LS5.

Some MP3 files don't play?

MP3 files without a “mp3” or *.MP3° filename extension are not recognized.

Use the correct filename extension (page 8).

The MP3 disc contains over 299 folders and 648 folders and files combined.

The DV-L5$ recognizes only the first 299 folders and 648 folders and files combined. Folders in excess of this aren’t recognized and cannot be played (page 8).

The MP3 disc is a multisession disc.

The DV-L5$ doesn't fully support multisession discs. Only files in the first session can be played (page 8).

Can't play MP3/WMA/ JPEG discs?

The disc is not ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2 for- mat.

Correct format should be used when recording is 1$0 9660 and closed session (page 8).

The disc has not been finalized.

Finalize the disc (page 8).

Can't select MP3 files?

MP3 files without a “mp3” or *.MP3" filename extension are not recognized.

Use the correct filename extension (page 8).

Can't play WMA files?

WMA files without à "or ".WMA” filename extension are not recognized.

Use the correct filename extension (page 8).

The WMA files copyright option is on.

Don't use the copyright option (page 8).

Can't view JPEG files?

JPEG files without a “jpg” or “JPG” file- name extension are not recognized.

Use the correct filename extension (page 8).

Buttons on the DV-L55 work OK but those on the remote controller don't?

There are no batteries in the remote controller.

Install new batteries (page 10).

The batteries are flat.

Replace with new batteries (page 10).

The batteries are installed incorrectly.

Check the batteries and correct as necessary (page 10).

You're not pointing the remote controller at the DV-L55S remote sensor.

Point the remote controller at the DV-L55's remote sensor (page 10).

You're 100 far away from the DV-L55.

Use the remote controller closer to the DV-LS5 (page 10). The remote controller has a range of approximately 5 meters.

A strong light source is interfering with the DV-L55's remote sensor.

Make sure that the DV-LSS is not subjected to direct sunshine or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Relocate if necessary.

Ifthe DV-L5S is installed in a cabinet with colored glass doors, the remote controller may not work reliably when the doors are closed.

Open the doors, or use a cabinet without colored glass.

The DV-L5S contains a microcomputer for signal proce:

ing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe inter-

ference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely even that this should happen, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again.
