Frequently Asked Questions - DVD-556 DENON

What types of discs can I play on the DENON DVD-556?

You can play DVD-Video (including DVD-R/RW), Audio CD, CD-R/RW containing MP3, JPEG or WMA files. Discs must bear the appropriate logos and be finalized if they are recordable discs. DVDs with region code 1 or ALL are compatible.

How do I set the subtitle or audio language?

During DVD playback, press the SUBTITLE button to change the subtitle language, or AUDIO for the audio language. You can also preset them in the setup menu (SETUP > LANGUAGE). Not all languages are available on all discs.

What should I do if the remote control does not work?

First check the batteries: insert two new AA batteries respecting polarity. Point the remote at the sensor on the front panel, within 7 meters. If the problem persists, replace the batteries or check that no obstacle is blocking the signal.

How to clean the player and discs?

For the cabinet, use a soft cloth slightly damp (mild soapy water), never alcohol or abrasives. For discs, wipe gently from the center outward with a soft cloth. Do not use solvents, commercial cleaners, or antistatic sprays.

Can I play MP3 or JPEG files on CD-R/RW?

Yes, the player reads MP3, JPEG and WMA files recorded on CD-R/RW. Insert the disc, press MENU to display the file list, then navigate with the cursor buttons. Files must be in ISO 9660 level 1/2 or Joliet format.

How to use the parental control (lock)?

In the SETUP menu, select CUSTOM then RATINGS. Enter a 4-digit code (except 4737) for the first time. Choose the control level (1 to 8, or ALL to disable). To reset a forgotten password, enter 4737 to clear the old code.

What does the 'Dew Warning' message mean?

This message appears when condensation occurs inside the player (e.g., after moving from cold to warm). Wait at least 2 hours for the unit to dry before using it to avoid damaging the laser lens.

How to connect the player to an audio amplifier?

Use the analog audio outputs (RCA L/R jacks) for a stereo amp, or the optical/coaxial digital outputs for an amp with Dolby Digital or DTS decoder. In that case, set DOLBY DIGITAL and DTS to BITSTREAM in the SETUP > AUDIO menu.

How to use the Zoom function?

During playback of a DVD or JPEG image, press ZOOM repeatedly to select the magnification factor (x2, x4 for DVD, x2 only for JPEG). Use the cursor buttons to move within the image. Press ZOOM again to exit.

Why is the image unstable or blurry in pause or slow motion?

In the SETUP > DISPLAY menu, set STILL MODE to FIELD instead of AUTO or FRAME. This stabilizes the image in pause and slow motion modes, although the quality may be slightly reduced.

• If the remote control unit does not operate within a close proximity of the main unit, replace the batteries with new ones, even if less than a year has passed.
• The included batteries serve only for verifying operation. Replace them with new batteries as soon as possible.
• When inserting the batteries, be careful to do so in the proper direction, following the and marks in the remote control unit's battery compartment.
• To prevent damage or battery fluid leakage:
• Do not mix a new battery with an old one.
• Do not mix two different types of batteries such as alkaline and manganese.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in flames.
• Remove the batteries when not planning to use the remote control unit for a long period of time.
• If the batteries should leak, carefully wipe off the fluid from the inside of the battery compartment, then insert new batteries.

The following shows examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player to TV and other components.

If using this DVD player to play back a DVD in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround or DTS surround format, the DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL OUT jacks. By hooking up the player to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy more convincing, realistic ambience with powerful and high-quality surrounding sound of a professional standard which can be heard in movie theaters. Use a commercially available audio optical or coaxial digital cable (not included) for the audio connections.

NOTES:

• Be sure to turn off the power of all components in the system before connecting another component.
• Refer to the Instruction Manuals for your TV, stereo system and any other components to be connected to the DVD player.

Connection to an Audio System

• Method 1 DVD Player + Stereo system
- Method 2 DVD Player + AV amplifier with a built in decoder (AV control center), Dolby Digital decoder, DTS decoder, MD deck or DAT deck

NOTES (for Method 2 only):

• When using an AV amplifier with a built in decoder (AV control center), Dolby Digital, or DTS decoder as shown in the Method 2, set “DOLBY DIGITAL” or “DTS” to “BITSTREAM” accordingly for audio output in the setup mode (refer to page 22). Set it to “PCM” or “OFF” for the decoder that is not used currently. Playing back a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers.
• The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD deck or DAT deck.
• Set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “PCM” and “DTS” to “OFF” for audio output in the setup mode for connecting to an MD deck or DAT deck (refer to page 22).
• Harsh noise that could harm your ears or the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS is played while using a decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible.
• When playing a copyright-protected 96kHz PCM DVD, the digital sound will be down sampled at 48kHz, even if you set “LPCM SELECT” to “OFF” (refer to page 22).

Optical cable (commercially available)

• Optical cable (commercially available) may be damaged when bent at sharp angles. Ensure cables are coiled in loops with a diameter of 15 cm or more when storing them.
• Use a cable which is 3m or shorter.
• Insert cable plugs firmly into the connectors when making connections.
• If a plug has dust or is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth before inserting it into a connector.

• Method 1 DVD Player + TV with Video Input Jack
• Method 2 DVD Player + TV with S-Video Input Jack
• Method 3 DVD Player + TV with Component Video Jacks

NOTES:

• Connect the DVD player directly to a TV. If the Audio/Video cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the copy protection system.
  • S-Video output connector

The video signals are divided into colour (C) and brightness (Y) signals, achieving a clearer picture.

If the TV is equipped with a S-Video input connector, we recommend connecting it to this unit's S-Video output connector using a commercially available S-Video connection cord.

HOW TO CONNECT TO A TV WITHOUT AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT JACKS

If your TV does not have RCA type audio and video input jacks it is still possible to connect this DVD player to your TV's 75-ohm coaxial antenna terminal using an optional Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator, not included. Connect the audio and video outputs of the DVD player to the audio and video inputs on the RF Modulator, and then connect the coaxial output of the RF Modulator (usually marked "TO TV") to the 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal on your TV. Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details.

If your TV's 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that cable from your TV's antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator (usually marked "ANT IN"), then connect the RF modulator to your TV's antenna terminal as described above.

NOTE:

- The picture quality from DVD discs will not be as good if the DVD player is connected to the TV's antenna terminal through an RF Modulator.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
