ENGLISH

Connect the unit using one of the following terminations to
your TV or monitor. The connections are listed in order of
quality of picture from the best possible first.  Additional
information on each connection type is provided below:

If your TV or monitor is compatible with progressive scan,
connect the TV via the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks using a
component video cable, and select "Progressive" in the
Setup menu (see page 41).

Connecting the COMPONENT VIDEO jacks using a
component video cable is next to it.

S-VIDEO is your third choice. If your TV has an S-Video input
jack, connect the TV using a quality S-Video cable.

Composite video output (VIDEO OUT) would be your final
choice.

<

For better picture quality, do not connect more than one
video cable.

<

Please connect this unit to a TV directly. If the TV is
connected through a video cassette recorder, playback of a
copy protected DVD disc could result in distorted picture
quality.

COMPONENT VIDEO jack

If your TV or monitor has COMPONENT VIDEO IN jacks,
connect them with a quality component video cable.

<

You can also use the D1/D2 D-Video jack.

<

If your TV or monitor is compatible with progressive scan,
connect the TV  via the COMPONENT VIDEO jack and select
"Progressive" in the Setup menu. When your TV or monitor
isn't compatible with progressive scan, never select
"Progressive". No picture will be shown on the monitor.

S-VIDEO or VIDEO jacks

S-VIDEO connection is your third choice and is superior to
the standard composite video connection.
If the component has a S-VIDEO jack, connect them with a
high quality S-VIDEO cable. 

If neither COMPONENT VIDEO nor S-VIDEO is available,
connect the component with a high quality RCA cable
designed for video applications.

AC power cord

Insert the supplied AC power cord in the DV-50's socket.
After all other connections are complete, connect the plug
to the wall socket.

Do not use any power cords other than the one included
with the DV-50 to avoid fire, electric shock, etc. If you are
not going to use the unit for some time, disconnect the
power cord from the wall socket.

Changing the Color System (NTSC/PAL)

The default color setting of this player is AUTO, and unless
you experience picture distortion with some discs, you can
leave the setting as it is.

If you experience picture distortion, you need to change the
setting to match your TV.

1 Turn the unit off.
2 While holding down the SCAN button, press the POWER

switch.

The color system changes as follows, and the selected color
system is shown on the front panel display.

PAL : 

Select PAL when a PAL TV (European standard) is
connected.

NTSC : 

Select NTSC when a NTSC TV (American standard) is
connected.

AUTO : 

Select AUTO when a MULTI TV is connected.

Note that you have to turn the unit off before each change.

About MOD.(Modulation) PAL:

Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV
system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically
switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without
vertical shrinkage.

If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not
be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If
the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops
rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically,
leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen.
This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC-PAL
conversion.
