How to Proceed in This Manual

DVD is an incredible format that presents the highest quality
digital audio and video available today.
Because using the DVD player and DVDs may be confusing
at first, following the order below should help you get
through the important stages of getting set up so you can
start using your player as soon as possible.

Get familiar with the player.

Refer to the section

‘Before Using‘

on page 7 to confirm that

all the accessories were included with the player. If you are
new to DVD, it might be beneficial for you to go through the

‘Names and Functions‘

section starting on page 8 to get

familiar with the parts and buttons on the main unit and
remote control as they will be referred to throughout this
manual.

There is also a list of terms that can be found on page 63 if
you are having trouble understanding some of the
terminology associated with DVD.

Make the necessary connections.

No entertainment system seems to be set up exactly the
same way. The

‘Making Connections‘

section starting on

page 13 shows how video and audio connections may be
made to suit your home entertainment system.

Set up the necessary player menus.

Before you can begin to enjoy the benefits of the DVD
format, it is first necessary to set up the player to output the
video and audio information that corresponds to your system.
The section

‘Setting Up the Player’

starting on page 17

explains how to use the Setup Navigator, a function that
automatically sets up the player corresponding to the
answers given in a multiple-choice on-screen procedure. The
Setup screen menus, described in the section starting on
page 24, are also used in a number of other functions.
Learning the procedure for operating these menus will make
using this player much easier and more enjoyable.

Play a disc.

When all the connections and setups have been made, you
are ready to play a DVD, Video CD, CD, or MP3 with the
player. The section

‘Getting Started Using Your DVD

Player’

starting on page 20 outlines the basic player

operations.

Enjoy the many features available.

Once you are comfortable using the basic player functions,
you are ready to take advantage of the various options DVD
and this player have to offer. The section

‘Advanced

Functions’

starting on page 39 describes how to use the

features available on many DVDs.

Differences in Disc Composition

DVD

All discs are divided up into smaller, more manageable
sections so that you can find specific content more easily.

DVD discs are divided into one or more titles. Each title may
be further divided into several chapters. Occassionally, a
chapter may contain index points, effectively dividing the
chapter up into several parts, too.

Video CD/CD

Video CDs and CDs are divided into a number of tracks. In
rare cases, a track may contain a number of index points,
effectively dividing the track up into several parts.

MP3

MP3 (MPEG1 audio layer 3) is a compressed audio file
format. Files are recognized by their file extension “.mp3” or
“.MP3”. Folders that contain MP3 files are automatically
numbered F_001, F_002, etc. Tracks within folders are
automatically numbered T_001, T_002, etc.
