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

7. 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.

8. Notes on Handling

• When shipping the unit, 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 unit.
• Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

For details, contact your nearest dealer.

10. Notes on Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation damages the unit.

Please read the following carefully.

- What is moisture condensation?

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 the unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.

- Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.

• When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a warm place.
• When you use the unit 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 unit in a hot and humid place just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.
• When you use the unit in a humid place.

- Do not use the unit when moisture condensation may occur.

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

Before connecting

Refer also to the instruction manual of the TV.
- When you connect the DVD Player to the TV, be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the mains before making any connections.
- Connect the DVD Player to the TV directly. If you connect the DVD Player to a VCR, TV/VCR combination, or video selector, the playback picture may be distorted as DVD videos are copy protected.

• Connect the plugs securely.

Making component video connections

If the TV or monitor has component video inputs, making this type of video connection will produce the ideal picture quality for the presentation of DVD-Video. Using a component video cable (sold separately), connect the VIDEO OUTPUT COMPONENT jacks to the corresponding component video input jacks on the TV.

Actual labels for component video inputs may vary depending on the TV manufacturer. (e.g. Y, R-Y, B-Y or Y, C_B , C_R ) In some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the playback picture may be reduced slightly or the tint may change. In such a case, adjust the TV or monitor for optimum performance.

Be sure to set the TV Aspect after connection using the Setup Navigator explained in "Setting Up the Player" starting on page 16 or the function setting menu explained in "Adjusting Audio and Video Settings" starting on page 38.

Connecting to an Amplifier

(To Enjoy the Sound Advantage of the DVD Player)

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

To reproduce Dolby Digital surround, MPEG1 audio, MPEG2 audio, and DTS surround sound, you need to connect to an amplifier with a Dolby Digital, MPEG1 audio, MPEG2 audio, and DTS decoder respectively.

Before connecting

Refer to the instruction manual of the amplifier.
- 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.

Notes

• The remote controller supplied with Onkyo amplifier can be used to operate the DVD player.
• The function of the upper and lower RI connectors are the same. Connect to either one.
• Connecting RI cable only does not make the system operational. You must also connect the audio cables as well.
• For remote control operation, the audio connection cables must also be connected.

Making a digital connection with the amplifier

If your amplifier has a digital input jack, be sure to connect it to either DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL or COAXIAL jack on the DVD player.

• DO NOT connect to the AC-3RF input (e.g. of a Dolby Digital receiver) which is reserved only for video disc players.

Be sure to set the digital output setting after connection using the Setup Navigator explained in "Setting Up the Player" starting on page 16 or the function setting menu explained in "Adjusting Audio and Video Settings" starting on page 38.

3	Press STANDBY/ON on the DVD Player or ON on the remote controller. The DVD Player turns on and the STANDBY indicator turns off. ·To put the DVD Player in the standby mode, press STANDBY/ON on the DVD Player, or STANDBY on the remote controller. Be sure to set the volume to minimum before putting the DVD Player in the standby mode for the next use to avoid sudden loud sound reproduction. ·While the STANDBY indicator lights up, the DVD Player can receive signals from the remote controller. However, if you press POWER on the DVD Player to switch off the main power, the remote controller cannot be used to turn on the DVD Player. ·Setting the STANDBY button to standby does not shut off the power completely.

Setting the TV System (except for USA and Canadian models)

The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO.

If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region's system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).

Disc		Output format
Type	Format	Position of TV SYSTEM mode
		NTSC	PAL	AUTO
DVD	NTSC	NTSC	MOD. PAL	NTSC
	PAL	——	PAL	PAL
Video CD	NTSC	NTSC	MOD. PAL	NTSC
	PAL	NTSC	PAL	PAL
CD, No disc		NTSC	PAL	NTSC or PAL

1 Switch the player into standby.
2 Hold down then press STANDBY/ON to switch the TV system.

The TV system changes as follows:

AUTO NTSC

NTSC PAL

PAL AUTO

The display indicates the new setting.

Note that you have to switch the player into standby before each change.

About MOD. (Modulation) PAL

• SHRINK

Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50Hz (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 disc 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 PAL conversion.

Setting Up the Player

The Setup Navigator has been designed to simplify the process of getting the DVD player ready to perform. Designed as a series of on-screen multiple-choice questions, the Setup Navigator automatically sets the audio, video, and language settings according to how the questions are answered. Once this procedure is complete, it will be possible to begin using the DVD player to enjoy DVDs.

The procedure on this page describes the operations necessary to function within the Setup Navigator screens. A detailed description of the contents of each question that appears on the screen can be found on the following pages.

Using the Setup Navigator

Press ON (STANDBY/ON on the front panel).

If there's already a disc loaded and it starts to play, press to stop it.

Press SETUP.

When SETUP is pressed for the first time, the following screen appears. Though the Setup Navigator may be used more than once, this screen only appears the first time SETUP is pressed.

Use the cursor buttons ( /) to make a selection.

• If you are going to use the Setup Navigator, it is not necessary to change the setting on the first screen. Please proceed to the next step.
• If you do not want to set up the player using the Setup Navigator, use the cursor button (▼) to select [Auto Start Off] at this time.

The Setup Navigator function may still be used at a later time in manual Setup screen menu operation (page 38).

Press ENTER.

The selection is entered and the next Setup Navigator screen appears.

Use steps 3 and 4 as a basis for entering selections on the all of the Setup Navigator screens described on the following pages.

When setting up for the first time

Some DVDs start playing automatically when loaded in the player. Because the Setup Navigator cannot be used if a disc is playing, it is recommended to set up the player using the Setup Navigator before loading a DVD for the first time. If a DVD has been loaded, be sure to press ■ before proceeding.

To change the answer to a prior question

Use the cursor button (▲) to return to previous screens. Please note, however, that you cannot go forward using the cursor button (▶), so it will be necessary to answer all the questions that occur after the screen that was returned to.

To exit the Setup Navigator

Make changes to the [Digital Out] setting in the Setup screen Audio menu in the [Expert] menu mode (page 39).

Settings: On (Digital bitstream is output) (Factory setting) Off (Digital bitstream is not output)

Setting the TV Screen Size

The width-to-height ratio of conventional TVs is 4:3, while the width-to-height ratio of wide screen and high-definition TVs is 16:9. This width-to-height ratio is called the aspect ratio.

When viewing software recorded in different aspect ratios, the image's height to width ratio can be switched to match the TV or monitor being used.

Make changes to the TV screen size in the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video 1 menu. Please note that changes to the [TV Screen] setting cannot be made when a disc is playing. Stop playback of the disc before attempting to make any changes.

Settings: 4:3 (Letter Box) 4:3 (Pan & Scan) 16:9 (Wide) (Factory setting)

Notes

• If [Standard (4:3)] is selected in the Setup Navigator screen, [4:3 (Letter Box)] is selected on this screen. If you prefer the pan&scan format, change the settings on this screen.
• Whether the aspect can be switched or not depends on the disc. Please refer to the information written on the disc jacket, etc.
• Some discs may not include the screen format selected in the [TV Screen] setting. When this occurs, the standard TV screen format available on the disc is automatically selected.

Differences in screen sizes and DVD formats

The number of screen size formats currently available can be somewhat confusing. If set incorrectly, the video presentation may not appear as it should. The following diagrams and descriptions are intended to help you set your TV screen size in a way that will allow you to fully enjoy the digital video of DVD.

The settings in the [TV Screen] setting are perhaps most applicable when the DVD you are watching is programmed in the wide screen format. If you have a standard TV, select either [4:3 (Letter Box)] or [4:3 (Pan & Scan)] based on your personal preference. If you have a wide screen TV, select [16:9 (Wide)].

Setting the Video 1 Options

Expert denotes more detailed settings. If the item is not displayed, please refer to page 39 to display it.

Setting the Component Video Output

Compared to a standard interlaced TV picture, a progressive scan TV is capable of stable, flicker-free images. Set only if you connected the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks to a progressive scan-compatible TV or monitor. Make changes to the [Component Video] setting in the Setup screen Video 1 menu.

Settings: Interlace (Factory Setting)

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.

Progressive

Use this setting with TVs and monitors that have progressive scan component video inputs. The PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up. Check the TV's instruction manual if you are not sure about this.

PROGRESSIVE

Auto Progressive

Switches to progressive scan when 16:9 DVDs are played,4:3 DVDs uses interlace setting. Your TV/monitor must be compatible with progressive scan to use this setting.

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 at 16:9. To see the picture in its correct aspect ratio, change the TV setting to 4:3.

If your TV can not be switched between 4:3 and 16:9, set this player to [Interlace] or [Auto Progressive]. In Auto progressive mode, 4:3 discs will be played in Interlace mode, while discs that are recorded in both 4:3 and 16:9 will play in interlace mode during the 4:3 sections, and in progressive mode during the 16:9 parts. Switch your TV's aspect ratio to the most suitable setting (for more details, see the manual that came with your TV). When set to [Auto Progressive], you may see picture disturbance when this player (and the TV) switches between progressive and interlace modes. This is not a malfunction of either this player or the TV. Picture disturbance should only occur when switching from a menu screen to the main feature, for example.

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.

Switching the S-Video Output Expert

You can switch the kind of S-Video signal output from the S-Video outputs. If you connected your TV with an S-Video cord, in rare cases the TV picture may appear stretched. In this case switch the output from [S2] to [S1].

Make changes in the [S-Video Out] in the Setup screen Video 1 menu in the [Expert] menu mode (page 39).

Settings: S1
