How do I resume playback from where I stopped?

Press STOP once during playback; the display shows 'RESUME'. The stopped position is memorized even if the power is turned off. Press PLAY to resume. Note: Pressing STOP twice clears the resume position, and the disc will start from the beginning.

How can I change the audio language or subtitle language on a DVD?

During playback, press AUDIO repeatedly to cycle through available audio languages. Press SUBTITLE to cycle through subtitle languages (or press CLEAR to turn subtitles off). You can also set default languages in the Setup screen Language menu.

How do I use the parental lock feature?

To set parental lock, press SETUP, go to the Language or General menu (depending on your firmware version), select 'Parental Lock', and set a 4-digit password. Choose a rating level (1-8) to restrict playback of discs with higher ratings. You must enter the password to change the level.

Why is there no picture or distorted picture?

Check that all video cables are firmly connected. Ensure the TV is set to the correct input. If using the SCART output, verify the Video Out setting in Setup (Video menu) is set to Composite, S-Video, or RGB as needed. Also check the TV SYSTEM switch on the rear panel matches your disc format.

How do I clean the DV2100 player?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. For stubborn dirt, dampen a cloth with a mild detergent solution (1 part detergent to 5-6 parts water), wring well, and wipe. Do not use volatile liquids like benzene or thinner. Never spray liquid directly onto the unit.

How do I get surround sound from only two speakers?

Press Dolby V on the front panel or set 'Virtual Surround' to On in the Audio 2 menu. This activates TruSurround for stereo sources and Virtual Dolby Digital for Dolby Digital sources, simulating a surround effect through two speakers.

What is the Setup Navigator and how do I use it?

EQUIPMENT MAINS WORKING SETTING

Your Marantz product complies with the household power and safety requirements in your area.

IMPORTANT: (FOR UK version only)

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5A. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A.

NOTE : The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

HOW TO CONNECT A PLUG

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

BLUE—"NEUTRAL" ("N")

BROWN—"LIVE" ("L")

1. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured BLACK.
2. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured RED.
3. Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter "E" or by the safety earth symbol ± or coloured green or green-and-yellow.

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead — not simply over the two wires.

Differences in Disc Composition

DVD

DVDs are divided into units referred to as titles, and titles are divided into chapters. A DVD which contains a movie may have only one title with many or no chapter divisions. Karaoke DVDs may have many titles, assigning a title to each song on the disc. Menu screens do not belong to any title.

DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a disc or chapters within a selected title. The player functions available may also vary from title to title, depending on the disc. When discs have a unique title division, it should be noted that search and program functions may be affected.

Video CD/CD

Video CDs and CDs are divided into units referred to as tracks (Video CD tracks may also be referred to as scenes). One song generally corresponds to one track. Some tracks are further divided into units referred to as indexes. Video CDs with PBC (Playback Control) also contain menus recorded on the disc which enable easy access to the contents of the disc.

When played back on a DVD player, both Video CDs and CDs are considered to be a single title, regardless of the number of tracks.

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3 Track 4

Track 2 Track 4 Track 3 Track 1 Track 5

Making Connections

Connecting Your DVD Player

Unlike any other audiovisual media format, DVD offers a wide array of audio and video output options which allows playback to be enjoyed in any number of system configurations from a standard TV with stereo audio input to a home theater system with a TV or monitor and full surround sound capabilities.

Connection Guide

The illustration on this page shows the basic setup using the audio and video cords included with this player. Use this illustration as a guide to setting up your home system.

An explanation of each type of audio and video connection available can be found on pages 12 to 14. To determine the best audio and video connection setup for your system, refer to the manuals supplied with the components you are making connections to.

In addition to making physical connections to your TV or monitor, it is also necessary to assign the TV screen size. You can use the [Setup Navigator] in the Setup screen General menu to set whether you are using a wide screen or standard size TV or monitor (page 16). Additionally, you can use the

[TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu (page 29).

Notes

- When making connections to this unit or when changing connections, check that the unit is off by pressing Power Switch and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

- The analog video output on this player uses copy protect circuitry to prevent the video playback on DVDs from being copied. If you connect the player to a TV via a VCR, or record and play back the contents of a disc with a VCR, the playback picture may not be normal.

Make audio connections from the AUDIO OUT jacks on the player to the AUDIO IN jacks on the TV or monitor using the stereo audio cord included with the player. Be sure to match the color of the plugs with the color of the jacks (red and white).
Make video connections from the VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to the VIDEO IN jack on the TV or monitor using the video cord included with the player.

Home Theater Component Connections

The connections on this page demonstrate the versatility of this player to conform to any number of home entertainment systems.

Please note that the illustration shown on this page is meant as an example. Please refer to the manuals supplied with the components to which you are making connections to determine the best possible setup for your home system.

An explanation of each type of audio and video connection available can be found on pages 12-14.

5.1 CH SURROUND AUDIO OUT

5.1 channel audio refers to the current industry surround sound standard requiring two front speakers, a center speaker, two surround (rear) speakers and a sub woofer.

Although in actuality there are 6 channels, because the sub woofer channel, or LFE channel, makes up a mere fraction of the total audio soundtrack, it has been designated as the 0.1 of the 5.1 system.

By utilizing the player's internal multichannel audio decoder, the audio of Dolby Digital and DTS DVDs can be output from the 5.1 channel discrete outputs to an AV amplifier or receiver with 5.1 channel input capability.

Audio Connections

This player features two digital (optical and coaxial) and also analog 2 channel and 5.1 channel audio output connection possibilities.

Digital Audio Connections:

You can enjoy the digital audio recorded on DVD discs from both optical digital and coaxial digital output jacks.

When making digital audio connections, do not make connections from both the coaxial and optical digital outputs to the same component.

When a DVD recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG is loaded, noise will be output if you have made connections via the digital audio jacks to a receiver or amplifier that cannot decode a Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG digital bitstream. In this case, be sure to set up the Setup Navigator audio settings to best reflect the type of system you are using (page 18). Additionally, the digital audio settings can be adjusted manually in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu (page 25-26).

DIGITAL OUT (Optical)

The digital signal is transmitted as light pulses through a fiber-optic cable.

• Use to connect to an AV amplifier or receiver with built-in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder.
• Use a fiber-optic cable (not supplied) to connect the DIGITAL OUT OPT (digital optical output) on the player to the digital optical input on an AV amplifier or receiver.

DIGITAL OUT (Coaxial)

The digital signal is transmitted electronically through a coaxial cable.

• Use to connect to an AV amplifier or receiver with built-in Dolby Digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder.
• Use a coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the DIGITAL OUT (coaxial digital output) on the player to the coaxial digital input on an AV amplifier or receiver.

Analog Audio Connection:

After making physical connections to either the 2 CH AUDIO OUT or 5.1 CH SURROUND AUDIO OUT analog jacks, be sure to identify which output you are going to be using in the [Analog Jacks] screen of the Setup Navigator (page 17). You can also manually set the output in the [Audio Out] setting of the Setup screen Audio 2 menu (page 27).

Notes

• When [5.1 Channel] is selected, the front right (R) and left (L) audio channels are output from the SYSTEM AUDIO OUT jacks.
• The [Audio Out] setting creates an audio output default for the player. If connections are made to both SYSTEM AUDIO OUT (2 CH) and 5.1 CH SURROUND AUDIO OUT (5.1 CH) analog jacks to make different audio connections for multichannel and stereo audio sources, it is possible to switch between 2 channel and 5.1 channel audio output by pressing 5.1 CH (MODE) on the front panel. However, this button does not work when the on screen menu operation is being performed.

2 CH AUDIO OUT

• Make analog audio connections to a stereo amplifier or receiver.
• Analog audio connections can also be made to a TV or monitor with stereo input jacks.
• Use the supplied audio cord to connect the SYSTEM AUDIO OUT on the player to the audio input on the stereo amplifier or receiver.
• When making analog audio connections, be sure to match the color of the plugs with the color of the jacks (red and white).
• When making this kind of connection, be sure to select [2 Channel] in the Setup Navigator [Analog Jacks] screen (page 17).

5.1 CH SURROUND AUDIO OUT

- prease refer to previous page.

Video Connections

This player features S-video, composite, and component video output possibilities.

Check the manual supplied with your TV or monitor to determine the best possible connection for your system. In addition to making physical connections to your TV or monitor, it is also necessary to assign the TV screen size. You can use the [Setup Navigator] in the Setup screen General to set whether you are using a wide screen or standard size TV or monitor (page 16). Additionally, you can use the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video menu (page 29).

S-VIDEO OUT

• Make S-video connections to a TV or monitor with S-video input to produce a high quality video image.
• Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to connect the output on the player to S-video input on the TV or monitor.

VIDEO OUT

• Make composite video connections to a standard TV or monitor with a video input jack.
• Use the supplied video cable to connect the VIDEO OUT jacks on the player to the video input on the TV or monitor.
• Be sure to match the color of the plug with the color of the jack (yellow).

TV SYSTEM switch

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 switch is set to the AUTO position, the disc's format will be output as is. When a CD or disc is not loaded, the previous video output format will be selected.

Disc Output format
Type	Format	Position of TV SYSTEM switch
		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

About MOD. (Modulation) PAL

- 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.

AV EUROCONNECTOR Connection

Using a 21-pin SCART cable (in cluded), connect the A/V EUROCONNECTOR jack on the player to a TV or monitor to achieve audio and video with a single connection.

- In addition to making physical connections to your TV or monitor, it is also necessary to set the video output format to composite video, S-video, or RGB in the Setup screen Video menu (page 30).

Additional Information

Disc Care

How to hold discs

When loading or removing discs, try not to touch their playing surfaces.

Cleaning

Fingerprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound and picture quality.

To clean your discs, use a soft clean cloth to wipe them. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent to remove heavy dirt or fingerprints.

Do not wipe in a circular direction (Concentric scratches in the disc groove tend to cause noise.)

Gently wipe from the inside toward the outer edge.

Discs must not be cleaned with record cleaning sprays, or static prevention sprays, etc. Also do not use volatile liquids such as benzine, or thinner, etc.

Lens cleaner

The player's pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to soiling, contact your nearest MARANTZ service center. Lens cleaners are commercially available, but special care should be exercised in their use since some may cause damage to the lens.

Never play cracked or warped discs

The disc revolves in the player at high speed when it is played. Never play a cracked, scratched or warped disc. This may damage the player or cause it to malfunction.

Never use discs with special shapes

CD's with special shapes (heart-shaped CDs, octagonal CDs, etc.) cannot be played on this set. Attempting to do so may damage the set. Do not use such CDs.

After using discs, store them upright

After playing a disc, always remove it from the player and return it to its jacket. Then store it standing upright away from heat and humidity.

• Store discs carefully. If you store discs at an angle, or stacked on top of each other, discs may become warped even when in their jackets.
• Do not leave discs in locations such as the seat of a car, which may become excessively hot.

CAUTION WHEN USING THE DISC

All rights reserved.

Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting or copying is a violation of applicable laws.

Notes on using optical cables

• Do not route cords around sharp angles. When storing, wind the cords so that they have a diameter of at least 15 cm (6 in.).
• When connecting, push all the way into the terminal.
• Do not use cords with a length of over 3 m.
• If moisture or dust has collected on the plug, wipe it with a soft cloth before connecting.

For Proper and Long Use of This Unit

Do not move the unit during playback

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc.

When moving the unit

When changing places of installation or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the disc table to its original position in the player. Then, press Power switch to turn off, then disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.

Installation

• Select a stable place to the side of a TV set or stereo system to be connected to the unit.
• When using the unit with a stereo system, install the speakers a little bit away from the TV.
• Do NOT install the unit on top of a TV or color monitor. Install the unit away from equipment that may be affected by magnetism, such as a cassette deck.
• Do NOT place objects on top of the unit.

Avoid installing in a place that is:

• Exposed to direct sunlight
• Exposed to humidity or where ventilation is poor
  • Extremely hot or cold
• Exposed to vibration
• Exposed to dust
• Exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat (for example, a kitchen)

Do not block vents

Do NOT use the player on top of a long-fibered carpet, bed or sofa, and do not cover it with a cloth, etc. This will prevent heat radiation and could result in damage.

Avoid heat

Do NOT place the unit on equipment which generates heat, such as an amplifier.

When installing the unit in a rack, place it on the lowest shelf possible (however, not where it is exposed to dust) and separated from the amplifier to avoid the heat generated by the amplifier or other audio equipment.

CAUTION: WHEN PLACING THE UNIT IN A STEREO RACK WITH GLASS DOORS

Be sure there is ample space between the unit and the glass doors when opening the disc table using the remote control. If the disc table opens against strong resistance, such as a closed glass door, damage to the unit may result.

Condensation

Moisture may form in the operating section of the player if the player is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, the player's performance will be impaired. To prevent this, let the player stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.

Condensation may also form during the summer if the player is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the player.

Switch POWER to turn off when not using the unit

Depending on the strength of the TV or radio broadcast signal, having the TV or radio on while power to the unit is on may result in stripes on the TV screen or noise. However, this is not a malfunction of this unit or the TV or radio. In such a case, switch the power of the unit to turn off.

Power-cord caution

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed in such a way that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest MARANTZ service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Cleaning the player

To clean the PLAYER, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Also use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene and thinner which are harmful to the unit.

Terms

Aspect ratio

Aspect ratio refers to the length to height ratio of TV screens. The ratio of a standard TV is 4:3, while the ratio of a high-definition or wide TV is 16:9. The latter allows you to enjoy a picture with a wider perspective.

Chapter number

Chapter numbers are the numbers assigned to sections of a title on the disc, similar to chapters in a book. If the disc includes chapter numbers, you can locate the section you want very quickly using search and other functions.

Condition memory

"Condition" refers to the various mode settings, etc. On this player, various conditions, such as those set during playback, can be memorized. This function allows you to play back the same disc at any time without having to redo your preferred settings.

Digital bitstream

The bitstream does not refer to the audio signal, but rather to the digital data that, once converted, becomes the audio signal. The player outputs digital bitstreams via the digital optical or digital coaxial output. If the bitstream cannot be decoded by the connected AV amplifier etc., digital noise is produced. Digital bitstream formats compatible with different entertainment systems can be selected in the Setup screen Audio 1 menu.

Digital output (Coaxial)

Output of the digital audio signal is transmitted electronically using a coaxial cable. Because the signal being transmitted is digital, connection must be made to the coaxial digital input of another component. Noise will be output if connected to the analog audio inputs as the digital signal cannot be decoded.

Digital output (Optical)

Normally, audio is converted to an electric signal and transmitted through an electric wire from the player to the amplifier, etc. Changing this signal to a digital signal and transmitting it through an fiber-optic cable is called optical digital output. Similarly, optical digital input receives digital signals from external units such as an AV amplifier or receiver.

Dolby Digital

The maximum 5.1 channels of audio used in the surround system (Surround Digital) for movie theaters is digital data compressed by the third generation algorithm encoder.

In order to enjoy Dolby Digital discs, this unit's digital output jack (either coaxial or optical) must be connected to the digital input jack of an AV amplifier or Dolby Digital decoder to enjoy the sound of Dolby Digital soundtracks.

DTS

DTS stands for Digital Theater System. DTS is a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has become a popular surround sound format for movies.

Dynamic range

Dynamic range refers to the difference between the maximum and minimum levels of the audio soundtrack as measured in decibels (dB).

Compressing the dynamic range raises the minimum signal level and lowers the maximum signal level. This allows you to hear voices and other low level audio signals clearly while lowering strong audio signals like the sound of explosions.

MPEG

Short for Moving Picture Experts Group. This is an international standard for compression of moving images. On some DVDs, digital audio has been compressed and recorded in this format.

Multi-angle

When you watch a TV program, you are watching the image filmed through the TV camera. Because of this, the picture is displayed on your TV from the viewpoint of the TV camera's position. In a TV studio, the image is filmed by many cameras at the same time, and one of those images is selected by the program director and transmitted to your TV. If all the filmed images were transmitted to your TV you would be able to select the camera image you want. Some DVD discs are recorded with the angles of more than one camera used for filming, and these can be selected using this player. These types of discs are called multi-angle discs.

Parental lock level

This function was suggested by parents concerned about what type of media their children were able to watch. Parental lock restrictions are restrictions incorporated into titles which include scenes that parents may not wish their children to view.

PCM

PCM stands for Pulse Code Modulation and is digital audio. The digital audio of CDs is PCM. This player also has a function that converts Dolby Digital and MPEG digital bitstreams into PCM to enable you to listen to quality digital sound even without a special decoder.

Playback Control (PBC)

This refers to signals recorded on a Video CD (Version 2.0) enabling playback control.

You can use menus recorded on discs with PBC for easy, interactive search for desired scenes, and playback.

You can also enjoy viewing high-resolution/standard resolution still images.

Regional restriction codes (region number)

Regional restriction codes are built in to DVD players and DVD discs for each sales region. If the regional code of the DVD player does not match one of the regional codes of the DVD disc, playback is not possible. The region number can be found on the rear panel of the DVD player. The illustration below shows the regions and corresponding region numbers.

Sampling Frequency

When a sound wave is converted to a digital signal, the sound is sampled and converted to data at a specific frequency rate. For example, a signal with a 96 kHz sampling rate indicates that in one second, the analog signal was sampled 96000 times to produce the digital signal.

Subtitle

Subtitles are language titles superimposed on movies, or other media. Up to 32 different subtitle languages can be recorded on a DVD disc. The subtitle function can be used to select the language of your choice.

S-video

Connecting the S-video output on the player to a TV or monitor with S-video input via an S-video cable produces clearer picture reproduction by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color. These signals are then combined by the television to produce a better quality picture.

Time number

The time number corresponds to the elapsed playback time of a disc from its beginning. When using the time search function, use the time number to locate scenes that occur at the time selected.

Title number

DVD discs are divided into units referred to as titles, and titles are divided into chapters. Menu screens do not belong to any title. A disc which contains a movie may have only one title with many or no chapter divisions. Karaoke discs may have many titles, assigning a title to each song on the disc.
