Frequently Asked Questions - DV-SL80U SHARP

What types of discs can the Sharp DV-SL80U play?

The Sharp DV-SL80U plays DVD-Video, CD, CD-R/RW, and discs with MP3 or JPEG files.

How do I connect the DVD player to my TV?

You can use composite (yellow RCA), S-Video, or component cables. For best picture quality, use component cables (Y, Pb, Pr).

Why is there no picture on my TV?

Check that the TV is set to the correct input. Ensure the video cables are securely connected. If using component, make sure the TV supports 480i.

Can I play DVDs from different regions?

The DV-SL80U is region 1 (USA/Canada) locked. Discs from other regions will not play.

How do I clean the lens?

Use a lens cleaning disc designed for DVD players. Do not use liquid cleaners or insert anything into the disc tray manually.

The remote control does not work. What should I do?

Replace the batteries. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the player. Point the remote directly at the player's sensor.

Does the player support DivX or MPEG-4?

No, the Sharp DV-SL80U only supports DVD, CD, and MP3/JPEG files. It does not play DivX or other video codecs.

How do I set the language for menus and subtitles?

Press 'Setup' on the remote, navigate to 'Language' settings, and choose your preferred audio, subtitle, and menu languages (if available on the disc).

The player shows 'NO DISC' even with a disc inserted.

Make sure the disc is placed correctly with the label side up. Try cleaning the disc with a soft cloth (radial strokes). If the problem persists, the lens may need cleaning.

Can I connect the player to a stereo system?

Yes. Use the analog stereo audio outputs (red/white RCA) to connect to your amplifier. Alternatively, use the digital coaxial output for better sound quality.

HOOK UPS

CAUTION:

• Be sure to turn off the Player and equipment to be connected before connecting.
• Read through the operation manual for the equipment to be connected.
• Be sure that the colors of the jacks and plugs match up when using Audio/Video cables.
• Be sure to keep the Player connection cables separate from the TV antenna cable when you install the Player, because it may cause electrical interference when you are watching television programs.

Connecting to a TV using a VIDEO OUT Jack or a S-VIDEO OUT Jack

The S-VIDEO connection provides a better quality video signal than the VIDEO (COMPOSITE) output. Use a commercially available S-VIDEO cable to connect from the Player to the TV.

• When the Player is connected to a TV using both a VIDEO cable and an S-VIDEO cable, only the S-VIDEO connection is enabled (the VIDEO connection is disabled).
• You will not be able to hear all of the sound being output by the Player if you use the VIDEO/AUDIO cable (supplied) to a monaural TV that has only one AUDIO input jack.

HOOK UPS

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.
• Be sure to turn off the power to all components in the system before connecting another component.
  • Refer to the Operation Manuals for your TV, stereo system and any other components to be connected to the DVD player.
  • This player does not support DTS audio.

Connecting to an Amplifier Equipped with Digital Input Jacks such as MD deck or DAT deck

Use an audio coaxial digital cables (not included) for the audio connections. Connecting to an amplifier equipped with digital input jacks such as MD Deck or Dat Deck.

NOTES:

- The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD or DAT deck.

- Set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “DPCM” for audio output in the setup mode. Playing a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise distortion, and may also damage the speakers. (Refer to page 15 to change the audio settings.)

Connecting to a Dolby Digital decoder

If using this DVD player to play back a DVD in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround format, the DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital data stream from its COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack. By hooking the player up to a Dolby Digital decoder, you can enjoy a more convincing, realistic ambience with powerful and high-quality surround sound of a professional standard as can be heard in movie theaters.

Use audio coaxial digital cables (commercially available) for the audio connections.

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 a commercially available Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator. 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.
