BASIC INFORMATION 11

• The types of functions and operations that can

be used for a particular disc vary depending on
the features of that disc. In some cases, these
functions and operations may differ from the
descriptions given in this manual. In this event,
follow the instructions given on the screen.
This manual only covers basic disc operations.

• For some operations, the 

icon may appear

on the screen. This indicates that the operation
described in this manual is not available on the
disc in the player.

• On-screen and front panel display illustrations

in this manual are purely for the purposes of
explanation. The actual displays may differ
slightly from these illustrations.

Disc handling precautions
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its

edge. Do not touch the surface.

• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc. If there

is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc,
remove the glue completely before using the
disc.

• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or

sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a
car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a
considerable rise in temperature inside the car.

• After playing, store the disc in its case.

• Do not write on the label side with a ball-point

pen or other writing utensils.

• Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.

Disc cleaning precautions
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning

cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,

commercially available cleaners or anti-static
spray intended for vinyl LPs.

Disc installing precautions
• Do not install more than 1 disc on disc tray.

• Do not place the disc on the tray up-side

down.

• Do not try to close the disc tray when the disc

is not installed and centered properly.

DVD players and discs are designed with
regional restrictions which dictate the regions in
which a disc can be played. If the region number
on the disc you want to play does not match the
region number of your DVD player, you will not
be able to play the disc. The  message “REGION
ERR” will appear in the front panel display.
The region code of this player is indicated on the
rear and on the external packaging.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS

After unpacking the unit, and placing it on a solid
surface capable of supporting its weight, you will
need to make the connections to your audio and
video equipment.

We recommend that you use high-quality inter-
connect cables when making connections to
source equipment and recorders to preserve the
integrity of the signals.

When making connections to audio source
equipment or speakers it is always a good 
practice to unplug the unit from the AC wall 
outlet. This prevents any possibility of
accidentally sending audio or transient signals to
the speakers that may damage them.

1. Connect the front, center and surround
speaker outputs 

 to the respective

speakers.

Cables that are run inside walls should have the
appropriate markings to indicate listing with any
appropriate testing agency standards. Questions
about running cables inside walls should be
referred to your installer or a licensed electrician
who is familiar with the applicable local building
codes in your area.

When connecting wires to the speakers, be cer-
tain to observe proper polarity. Note that the
positive (+) terminal of each speaker connection
now carries a specific color code as noted on
page 8. However, most speakers will still use a
red terminal for the postive (+) connection. Con-
nect the “negative” or “black” wire to the same
terminal on both the receiver and the speaker.

We also recommend that the length of cable
used to connect speaker pairs be identical. For
example, use the same length piece of cable to
connect the front-left and front-right or sur-
round-left and surround-right speakers, even if
the speakers are a different distance from the
HS controller.

2. Connections to the subwoofer are made via a
line level audio connection from the Subwoofer
Output

 to the line-level SUB input (purple)

of the subwoofer.

3. Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM
(75 ohm) connection 

. The FM antenna may

be an external roof antenna, an inside powered
or wire lead antenna or a connection from a
cable system. Note that if the antenna or connec-
tion uses 300-ohm twin-lead cable, you should
use a 300-ohm-to-75-ohm adapter to make the
connection.

Video equipment is connected in the same manner
as audio components. Again, the use of high-
quality interconnect cables is recommended to
preserve signal quality.

NOTE: To be able to listen to the sound of a live TV
show through the loudspeakers of your HS system
you need a connection between the audio output
of your TV and the HS controller: to achieve this
when using the supplied SCART cable, you don’t
need to connect any additional wires – the SCART
cable transports audio and video signals in both
directions. But when using the S-Video or compo-
site jacks you need to connect the audio output of
your TV set with the AUDIO IN jack 

 on the back

of your HS controller.

TV Connection (method 1) – using SCART
cable (included)
To view the video from DVD discs on your TV set,
connect the SCART TV Out jack 

 of the HS

system to the SCART In jack of your TV set. The
audio connection runs through the same cable (see
note above).

TV Connection (method 2) – using S-Video
cable (not included)
If your TV set has an S-Video input jack you can
connect your TV to the S-Video out jack 

 on the

back of the HS controller. S-Video wires don’t
transport audio signals, thus you need an addi-
tional audio connection (see note above).

TV connection (method 3) – using 
composite video (cable not included)
If your TV set has neither S-Video nor SCART
input jacks, connect the Video Out jack 

 of the

HS to the Video In jack of your TV set. The com-
posite wire also doesn’t transport audio signals,
thus you need to make additional connections
(see earlier note).

Component Video Connection (method 4)
If the video display has component video inputs,
connect the Component Video Outputs 

 on

the DVD to the corresponding input jacks on your

television. If you are using a progressive scan tel-
evision or projector, you must also change the
Scan Type in the DVD player's Video Set-Up
Menu from ”Interlaced” to ”Progressive”.

Connecting VCR and Sat Decoder (method
5 and 6)
Diagrams 5 and 6 show possible connection
methods for common system configurations.
These are intended as guidelines only. Due to dif-
ferences in equipment specifications, the method
of connection of your equipment may be differ-
ent to that shown. Please consult the Owner’s
Manual of your equipment for further guidance.

Connecting Set-top Box or Digital Satellite
Receiver (method 7) - using coaxial digital
cable
To listen to the digital multichannel downmix
from Set-top boxes or digital satellite receivers,
connect the Coaxial Digital Out 

 of your

device to the Coaxial Digital In on the HS con-
troller.

Aux Input for External Source
You may connect a line-level stereo analog audio
source such as a Sat receiver, tape deck, phono
preamp of a record player, etc. to the controller's
rear panel AUDIO IN Input 

 sockets to enjoy

the benefits of your HS system with other source
components.

• VCR Connection-Audio (Cables Not Included).

To listen to the sound from your stereo VCR
through the speakers of this system, connect
