Frequently Asked Questions - XD-DW7 AIWA

The DVD player does not turn on. What should I do?

Check the power cord connection and ensure the outlet is working. Try a different power cable if available. If still no power, the internal fuse may be blown; contact a technician.

How do I clean the DVD lens?

Use a disc cleaning kit specifically for DVD players. Do not use isopropyl alcohol or abrasive cloths. Alternatively, use a soft, dry cloth for the exterior.

Why won't the player read my DVD?

Ensure the disc is clean and free of scratches. Check that the disc format is supported (e.g., DVD±R/RW). Try a different disc. If problem persists, the laser lens may need cleaning or replacement.

The remote control doesn't work. How can I fix it?

Replace the batteries first. Ensure there is no obstruction between remote and player. Point the remote directly at the IR sensor. If still not working, try resetting the player by unplugging it for 30 seconds.

How do I change the region code?

Most Aiwa DVD players are region-locked. To change region, you may need a multi-region hack via remote code or firmware. Contact Aiwa support or search for 'XD-DW7 region free code'. Unauthorized modifications may void warranty.

There is no sound from the TV. What should I check?

Check the audio cable connections. Ensure the TV is set to the correct input. If using RCA, make sure red/white plugs are inserted correctly. Try a different audio output (optical/coaxial) if available.

Can I play CDs or MP3 discs?

Yes, the XD-DW7 supports CD, CD-R/RW, and MP3 discs. For MP3, ensure files are encoded at supported bitrates (usually 32-320 kbps). Burn discs in ISO 9660 or UDF format.

The picture is distorted or no video. What could be wrong?

Check the video cable (composite, component, SCART). Ensure TV input matches the output used. If using component, verify the TV supports progressive scan. Try a different cable or input.

How do I enable parental controls?

Press Setup on the remote, go to Parental Control or Rating. Enter the default password (usually 0000 or 1234). Set the desired rating level. Some discs may bypass if not coded.

The player freezes or skips during playback. Why?

Dirty or scratched discs are common causes. Clean the disc with a soft cloth. If skipping persists, the laser lens may be dirty. Use a lens cleaning disc. Avoid playing discs with deep scratches.

Remote control

Installing batteries

Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control, and insert two R6 (size AA) batteries with + and - aligned correctly.

When to replace the batteries

The maximum operational distance between the remote control and the sensor of the units should be approximately 5 meters (16 feet). If this operational distance decreases, replace the batteries with new ones.

NOTES

• When operating with the remote control, point the top of the remote control toward the player.
• If the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent possible electrolyte leakage.

• The remote control may not operate correctly when:

• The line of sight between the remote control and the unit is exposed to intense light, such as direct sunlight

• There is fluorescent lighting near the remote sensor.
• Other remote controls are used nearby (those of a TV set, etc.).

Using the AC adaptor

Two adaptors are supplied with this unit. To make this unit work, use the smaller one (AC-D918U).

1 Connect the AC adaptor to the main unit.

Insert the AC adaptor plug to the DC IN 9V jack of the main unit.

2 Insert one end of the supplied AC power cord to the AC adaptor socket.

Interactive DVD

With this DVD disc, the story is changeable by user's selection, and/or the direction of view is changeable.

Title, chapter (DVD)

A DVD disc is divided into large parts (title) and smaller parts (chapter).

Each part has a number which is called title number or chapter number.

OPT OUT jack

The OPT OUT jack changes electric signals into optical signals before transmitting them to the amplifier. According to this, the signals flow without electric effect from outside, and noise is suppressed and produces little effect for outside.

Track (video CD/audio CD)

A video CD or an audio CD is divided into some parts (track).

Each part has a number which is called a track number.

Dolby digital (AC-3)

A technique for digital audio compression developed by Dolby Corporation. Not only stereo (2 ch) sound, but also 5.1 ch sound can be compressed by it. A large amount of data can be held in a disc efficiently.

Dolby pro logic decoder

Equipment in which 4 channel signals recorded in 2 channels by dolby surround (pro logic) are reverted to signals in 4 channels when playing them back. As compared with the surround sounds of 5.1 ch of dolby digital (AC-3), separation between channels is worse and surround signal is played back only within 7 kHz.

Pan & scan screen

This signifies that the screen recorded in wide-screen format is displayed with left and right portions cut off.

Playback control (video CD Version 2.0)

A video CD with the playback control function can be played back by following the menu display interactively.

Letter box screen

This signifies that the screen recorded in wide-screen format is displayed with black bands at the top and bottom of the screen.

Linear PCM audio (LPCM)

This is the signal recording system for audio CD.

While the signals are recorded by 44.1 kHz/16 bit in audio CD, by 48 kHz/16 bit - 96 kHz/24 bit in DVD. As a result, DVD is played back in higher quality sound than in audio CD.

MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group)

MPEG is the international standard format for moving pictures provided by the Moving Picture Experts Group organized under ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electro-technical Commission). MPEG provided MPEG1 in 1991, and MPEG2 in 1994. MPEG2 enables play in higher quality than MPEG1.

S-VIDEO OUT terminal

As this terminal divides the video signals into color signal and brightness signal to transmit them to the TV set, the picture becomes clearer. We recommend connecting an S-VIDEO cord (supplied) to the TV set and S-VIDEO terminal.
