LOCATION: INSIDE ON LASER COVERSHIELD) THX With their experience in movie making and DVD mastering, Lucasfilm engineers researched the capabilities of the DVD format. They have identified many key areas of importance that are necessary to ensure the highest quality possible for video and audio playback. The Home THX DVD specification was created to realize the full potential of the format. The THX DVD program is a number of technical and performance specifications developed to make certain that the audio and video quality of every DVD recording is reproduced as accurately as possible. Thus exploiting the medium’s maximum potential. MARANTZ and THX have engineered this product to give maximum performance and quality. “At the time of THX Certification of the DV-12S1, widely accepted industry performance standards for the features “Progressive Scan Video” and “DVD Audio’ did not exist. While THX sees that these features are present in the MARANTZ DV-12S1, THX engineers did not certify their technical performance.” Lucasfilm and THX are trademarks of Lucasfilm Ltd.ENGLISH FRANÇAIS

HOW TO CONNECT A PLUG

1 Before You Start / Avant de commencer Features Superlative audio performance from built in DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital*, DTS** and MPEG decoders The 192kHz/24bit-compatible DAC inside the DV-12S1 delivers breath-taking sound quality with DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital and DTS discs. The DV-12S1 is compatible with both 2-channel (192kHz/24bit) and multi-channel (96kHz/24bit) DVD-Audio discs thanks to its 5.1- channel audio outputs. In addition, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG decoders are built-in so you can connect the DV-12S1 directly to an AV amplifier with 5.1 channel inputs to enjoy cinema-like surround sound. 525 line progressive-scan component video output (NTSC output only) Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan effectively doubles the amount of video information fed to your TV or monitor. The result is a rock-steady, flicker-free image. (Check your TV/ monitor for compatibility with this feature.) For the very highest picture quality, try watching a movie on DVD- Video in PureCinema mode on a progressive-scan compatible TV. The DV-12S1 offers complete flexibility and compatibility with all types of AV equipment with dual composite video, S-Video and AV connector outputs, as well as component video outs. Digital Noise Reduction PRO (Video Quality Enhancer) This new type of DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) for encoding video enables you to adjust the video settings on a more detailed and exact level. There are three possible settings to choose from. These include: TV (CRT), Projector, and Professional. This technology can remem- ber which setting you've chosen and employ it at the proper time. New graphical Setup Navigator Setting up the DV-12S1 is made as easy as possible using a graphical Setup Navigator. Answer the questions that appear on-screen and the Setup Navigator makes all the necessary audio, video and language settings for you.

Easy Setup Important: Before making or changing any rear panel connec- tions, make sure that all components are switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet. This easy setup is the minimum set of connections you need to start watching DVD video discs. Both sound and picture are fed directly to your TV using the supplied audio/video cables. For other possible connections, see pages 12 and 14. Connecting audio and video cables Be sure to insert each plug fully for the best connection. The plugs and jacks are colour-coded to make connection easier.

• When connecting to component with a remote sensor (such as the SR-14, SR-18, SR-19), be sure to connect the “REMOTE CONTROL IN” jack of this DVD player to the “REMOTE CONTROL OUT” jack of the component with the remote sensor.

• When connecting to component which is not equipped with a remote sensor, be sure to connect the component to the “REMOTE CONTROL OUT” jack of this DVD player. Synchronized power on and off

Home theater video connections Important: Before making or changing any rear panel connec- tions, make sure that all components are switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet. This player outputs video in a number of different ways. Choose the one most suitable for your system using the guide below. Connecting SCART and S-Video cables SCART and S-Video cables will only plug in one way, so make sure the plug is correctly lined up with the jack before inserting. Be sure to fully insert for a good connection. Note: The TV connector can output composite, S-Video or RGB component video; the AUX SCART connector only outputs composite video. If you connect just one TV, use the TV connector. You can select the type of video output by changing the Video Out setting in the Setup Menu (page 52, 53). S-Video or composite video? S-Video should give a better picture, so if you have an S-Video input, use it. S-Video cables are available from any good audio/visual dealer. S1/S2AC IN

If your TV has a SCART input, we recommend using it to connect directly to the TV output on this player. If your TV/monitor has component video inputs instead of a SCART input, connect them to the COMPONENTVIDEO OUT jacks on this player. If neither SCART nor component inputs are available to you, connect this player to your TV or AV receiver using either the VIDEO OUT or s1/s2-VIDEO OUT jacks.ENGLISHFRANÇAIS 2 Conncting Up/Raccordement

Home theater audio connections Important: Before making or changing any rear panel connec- tions, make sure that all components are switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet. This player outputs multi-channel audio in both analog and digital form. Check the manual for your amplifier/receiver to see what equipment it is compatible with (especially which digital formats— Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.—it can decode). Connecting optical cables Before plugging in an optical cord, pull out the protective cover from the optical jack. Optical interconnects only plug in one way, so make sure the plug is correctly lined up with the jack before inserting. You should hear it click into position when fully inserted. COAX OPT Connecting coaxial cables Use an interconnect with a pin-type (also called RCA or phono) plug on each end to connect up digital coaxial- type jacks. Make sure that the plug is pushed fully home. Connecting analog audio cables Be sure to fully insert each plug for the best connection. The plugs and jacks are colour-coded to make connection easier. If your amplifier has stereo inputs only, connect them here. Connect to the coaxial or optical input of your amplifier, if it has digital inputs. Plug into a standard AC wall outlet.

• SHRINK Most models of the newly developed countdown 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 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. Note TV SYSTEM Video output changes as follows according to the playback disc‘s recorded format. NTSC = PAL, PAL = NTSC conversion is possible on Video CDs. PAL = NTSC conversion is not possible on DVDs. When the TV SYSTEM is set to the TVSYS AUTO position, the disc’s format will be output as is.

• Default setting: English Choose between OSD menus in the languages offered. Setup Menu Mode

• Default setting: Position-Normal When watching DVD discs recorded in 4:3 format (‘regular’ TV size) on a widescreen TV, it can be difficult to see the operation displays (Play, Stop, Resume, etc.) at the top of the screen. If you find them hard to read, set the On Screen Display (Expert mode) to Position-Wide. If you prefer not to have the operation displays (Play, Stop, Resume, etc.) shown on-screen, change the On Screen Display setting to Off. Affichage des écrans de menu (menu Expert)

• 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 you have a conventional TV, choose either 4:3 (Letter 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). See page 87 for more information. Video Out

• Default setting: AV(Video) These settings are only applicable if you’re using the

connector or the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks. 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 page 12 for more on this), or reset the unit (see page 86 for how to do this). If you’re using the component video outs, you can also set the video out

INTERLACE using the FL menu setting (see page 24-26). AV(Video) – Compatible with all TVs, but lowest quality of the three AV settings. AV(S-Video) – Almost the same quality as AV(RGB), but can give better results if you are using a long SCART cable. AV(RGB) – If your TV is compatible, this setting gives the best picture quality. Format de l’écran du téléviseur

Component (Prog.) – Select if your TV/monitor accepts 525 line (NTSC) progressive scan (non-interlace) component video—check the manual that came with your TV/monitor. (This setting only applies to NTSC discs; the player always outputs an interlaced signal when playing PAL discs.) Component – Select if you’re using a TV/monitor with component video inputs. Note: when AV(RGB) is selected, no signal is output from the component video jacks. When either Component option is selected, an AV(Video) signal is output from the A/V EUROCONNECTOR outputs. Depending on the position of the FL menu COMP VIDEO setting (see page 24-26), not all options will be available: If the FL menu COMP VIDEO is set to INTERLACE, you can’t select Component (prog.). If the FL menu COMP VIDEO is set to PROGRESSIVE, you can’t select Component. S-Video Out (Expert menu)

• Default setting: Auto The player uses one of two processes when displaying a still frame from a DVD disc. The default Auto setting lets the player decide which to use. Field – produces a stable, generally shake-free image. Frame – produces a sharper image, but more prone to shake than field stills. Angle Indicator (Expert menu)

• Default setting: On If you prefer not to see the camera icon on-screen during multi- angle scenes on DVD discs, change the Angle Indicator setting to Off. Frame Search (Expert menu)

• Default setting: Off Set this to On if you want to be able to do frame-accurate searching of DVD discs (see page 36 for how to do a time & frame search). On the default setting, the time & frame search is not available. Arrêt sur image (menu Expert)

• Default setting: Dolby Digital You only need to make this setting if you connected the player to another component (amplifier, etc.) using one of the digital outs. If the other component has a built-in Dolby Digital decoder, set this to Dolby Digital, otherwise set to Dolby Digital 3 PCM (Dolby Digital audio is converted to more compatible PCM audio). Check the manual that came with the other component if you’re unsure whether it is Dolby Digital compatible. DTS Out

• Default setting: Off You only need to make this setting if you connected the player to another component (amplifier, etc.) using one of the digital outs. If your amplifier has a built-in DTS decoder, set this to DTS, otherwise set to Off. Check the manual that came with the other component if you’re unsure whether it is DTS compatible. Sortie Dolby Digital

• Default setting: Down Sample On You only need to make this setting if you connected the player to another component (amplifier, etc.) using one of the digital outs. If your amplifier is compatible with high sampling rates (96 kHz), set this to Down Sample Off, otherwise set it to Down Sample On (96 kHz audio is converted to a more compatible 48 kHz). Check the manual that came with the other component if you’re unsure whether it is 96 kHz compatible.

• If Digital Out is set to On and Linear PCM Out is set to Down Sample On, you’ll see the message Digital Out Converted appear on-screen when either the AUDIO button is pressed or when playing 192 kHz source material. MPEG Out

• Default setting: MPEG 3 PCM You only need to make this setting if you connected the player to another component (amplifier, etc.) using one of the digital outs. If your amplifier is compatible with MPEG audio, set this to MPEG, otherwise set it to MPEG 3 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. Sortie PCM linéaire

• 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. 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 the Audio DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) setting 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; High ‘squashes’ the dynamics the most, but exactly how much difference you can hear between the settings will depend on the material you’re watching. Remember: Audio DRC is only effective with Dolby Digital audio sources. Sortie numérique (menu Expert)

• Set in Setup Navigator (Default: 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 outs, set to 2 Channel.

• 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, or Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG encoded DVD disc.

• If you set to 2 Channel, Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio is mixed down to two channels so you still hear all the audio recorded on the disc.

• During the slideshow section of a DVD-Video disc it can take up to 30 seconds for the Audio Out setting to take effect.

• Some DVD-Audio discs don’t allow down-mixing of audio. These discs always output multi-channel audio regardless of the setting made here. Sortie audio

• Default password: none You can restrict access to certain discs using this feature. Once set, the player will ask for a four-digit password if a restricted disc is loaded, giving you a degree of control over what your children watch. The player can be set to one of eight levels. Setting the level at 1 means that any disc that has any level of restriction will need the password in order to watch it, while setting it at level 8 gives unlimited access. DVD discs are also rated from 1 to 8. Discs rated 1 (or with no rating) generally contain little or no offensive material; discs rated 2, may contain material that some parents may feel is unsuitable for children. Discs rated 8 will almost certainly be unsuitable for children. Since a disc’s rating is up to the manufacturer, it is not possible to give a definitive guide to each level—check the disc box for parental lock details. Be careful: not all discs that you may consider inappropriate for your children are rated. Unrated discs will always play without requiring the password first. Blocage parental
