2. About this Manual  
This manual explains how to use all of this unit’s func-  
tions. Although the DVD standard offers many special  
features, not all discs use them all, so depending on the  
disc being played, this unit may not respond to certain  
functions. See the disc’s sleeve notes for supported fea-  
tures.  
When you attempt to use a DVD feature that is  
not available, this logo may appear onscreen,  
indicating that the feature is not supported by  
the current disc or this unit.

Never handle this unit or its power cord while your hands  
are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets inside  
this unit, have it checked by the dealer from whom you  
purchased this unit.  
When you take a glass containing a cold drink outside on  
a summer’s day, drops of water, called condensation,  
form on the outside of the glass. Similarly, moisture may  
condense on the lens of the optical pickup, one of the  
most important parts inside this unit.  
7. Installing this Unit  
• Moisture condensation can occur in the following sit-  
• Install this unit in a well-ventilated location.  
Ensure that there’s adequate ventilation all around this  
unit, especially if it’s installed in an audio rack. If the  
ventilation is inadequate, the unit may overheat, lead-  
ing to malfunction.  
uations:  
— The unit is moved from a cold place to a warm  
place.  
— A heater is turned on, or cold air from an air condi-  
tioner is hitting the unit.  
• Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heat  
sources, because its internal temperature may rise,  
shortening the life of the optical pickup.  
• Avoid damp and dusty places, and places subject to  
vibrations from loudspeakers. Never put the unit on  
top of, or directly above a loudspeaker.  
• Install this unit horizontally. Never use it on its side or  
on a sloping surface, because it may cause a malfunc-  
tion.  
• If you install this unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the pic-  
ture and sound quality may be affected. If this occurs,  
move this unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.  
— In the summer, when this unit is moved from an air  
conditioned room to a hot and humid place.  
— The unit is used in a humid place.  
• Do not use this unit when there’s the possibility of  
moisture condensation occurring. Doing so may dam-  
age your discs and certain parts inside this unit.  
If condensation does occur, remove all discs and leave  
this unit turned on for two to three hours. By this time,  
the unit will have warmed up and any condensation  
will have evaporated. To reduce the risk of condensa-  
tion, keep this unit connected to a wall outlet.

Introduction—Continued  
Handling Discs  
Terminology  
• Never touch the  
underside of a  
disc.Always hold  
discs by the edge,  
as shown.  
CD-R (compact disc recordable): A type of CD  
that can be recorded only once. Can be used for VCD,  
CD, MP3, or JPEG.  
CD-RW (compact disc rewritable): A type of  
CD that can be recorded over and over again. Can be  
used for VCD, CD, MP3, or JPEG.  
Underside  
• Never attach adhesive tape or  
sticky labels to discs.  
Chapter: Titles on DVD-Video discs can be subdi-  
vided into chapters.  
Component video: A video connection format that  
separates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals  
(PR, PB), providing better picture quality than S-Video.  
Cleaning Discs  
• For best results, keep your discs clean. Fingerprints  
and dust can affect the sound or picture quality and  
should be removed as follows. Using a clean soft  
cloth, wipe from the center outwards, as shown. Never  
wipe in a circular direction.  
Composite video: A video connection format that  
combines the luminance and color signals together.  
Direct Digital Path: Unique Onkyo technology  
that uses dedicated shielded cables to connect the digital  
audio outputs, protecting the digital output signals  
against the possibility of noise and interference.  
Dolby Digital: Once known as AC-3, this is the des-  
ignated surround sound format for DVD-Video, HDTV,  
and select digital broadcasts (cable, satellite, over-the-  
air). A Dolby Digital bitstream may contain mono, ste-  
reo, Dolby Surround, or 5.1-channel audio information.  
• To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a  
damp soft cloth, and then dry it with a dry cloth.  
• Never use solvent-based cleaning fluids, such as thin-  
ner or benzine, commercially available cleaners, or  
antistatic sprays intended for vinyl records, because  
they may damage the disc.  
Dolby Pro Logic: The decoders used in home the-  
ater equipment to decode Dolby Surround material. See  
Dolby Surround.  
Dolby Surround: The original Dolby surround-  
sound format uses matrix encoding to deliver four chan-  
nels (left, right, center, and surround) over two audio  
channels. Can be used with VHS video, analog TV, and  
other analog stereo systems. The movie theater version is  
known as Dolby Stereo.  
Storing Discs  
• Don’t store discs in places subject to direct sunlight, or  
near heat sources.  
• Don’t store discs in places subject to moisture or dust,  
such as in a bathroom or near a humidifier.  
• Always store discs in their cases and vertically. Stack-  
ing, or putting objects on unprotected discs may cause  
warping, scratches, or other damage.  
Downmixing: The process of mixing multiple  
audio channels into fewer channels. For example, a 5.1-  
channel surround mix can be downmixed into two chan-  
nels for reproduction on stereo systems.  
Downsampling: The process of reducing the sam-  
pling rate of digital audio.  
Copyright  
It is forbidden by law to copy, broadcast, show, broadcast  
on cable, play in public, or rent copyrighted material  
without permission.  
DTS (Digital Theater Systems): Like Dolby  
Digital, the DTS surround-sound format offers up to 5.1-  
channels of information, but uses less compression for a  
more faithful sound.  
DVD-Video discs are copy-protected, and any record-  
ings made from these discs will be distorted.  
DVD-Audio: The DVD format for storing up to six  
(5.1) channels of 24-bit/96 kHz digital audio or two  
channels of 24-bit/192 kHz digital audio.  
This product incorporates copyright protection technol-  
ogy that is protected by U.S. patents and other intellec-  
tual property rights. Use of this copyright protection  
technology must be authorized by Macrovision, and is  
intended for home and other limited viewing uses only  
unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision. Reverse  
engineering or disassembly is prohibited.  
DVD-R (DVD recordable): A type of DVD disc

Introduction—Continued  
DVD-RW (DVD rewritable): A type of DVD disc  
that can be recorded over and over again. Can be used for  
DVD-Video or DVD-Audio.  
S-Video: A video connection format that separates  
the luminance (Y) and color (C) signals, providing better  
picture quality than composite video.  
DVD-Video: The format for storing MPEG2 video  
on DVD, with interactive menus, multiple soundtracks,  
subtitles, camera angles, and so on.  
SACD (Super Audio CD): SACD uses Direct  
Stream Digital (DSD) technology for audio performance  
superior to that of standard CDs. It also supports multi-  
channel audio, and hybrid discs can be played in stan-  
dard CD players.  
Field: In interlaced scanning, a field is a single scan  
of the screen. There are two fields per frame. See Inter-  
laced Scanning and Progressive Scanning.  
Title: The contents of DVD-Video discs are orga-  
nized into titles.  
Frame: An individual TV picture is called a frame.  
With the NTSC color system there are 30 frames per sec-  
ond.  
VCD (Video CD): The format for storing MPEG1  
video on CD.  
Interlaced scanning: TV pictures are made by  
scanning the screen in horizontal lines from top to bot-  
tom. With Interlaced scanning, two scans (fields) are  
used to make each picture (frame). Contrast with Pro-  
gressive scanning.  
VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry):  
Unique Onkyo circuitry that reduces pulse noise in ana-  
log audio signals converted from digital sources.  
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group):  
The acronym commonly used to refer to the compressed  
file format used to store digital images.  
LFE (low-frequency effects): The surround-  
sound channel used for low-frequency effects.  
Linear PCM: The uncompressed digital audio for-  
mat used for audio CDs. PCM stands for Pulse Code  
Modulation.  
MP3 (MPEG 1 Audio Layer 3): Popular com-  
pressed file format for storing digital music.  
MPEG1 (Moving Picture Experts Group 1):  
The compressed digital video format used for VCDs.  
MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group 2):  
The compressed digital video format used for DVDs,  
offering better picture quality than MPEG1.  
NTSC: The color TV system used in the United  
States, Japan, Taiwan, and Korea.  
PAL: The color TV system used in most of Europe,  
the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, and China.  
PBC (Playback Control): Version 2.0 of theVCD  
standard supports interactive menus and search func-  
tions.  
Progressive scanning: TV pictures are made by  
scanning the screen in horizontal lines from top to bot-  
tom. With progressive scanning, each picture (frame) is  
made by scanning the entire screen in one go, resulting  
is a clearer and stabler picture. Contrast with Interlaced  
scanning.

Using the Remote Controller  
To use the remote controller, point it at the DPC-8.5’s  
remote control sensor, as shown below.  
Open the battery compartment, as shown.  
1
Remote control sensor  
DPC-8.5  
30˚  
30˚  
Insert the two supplied batteries (AA) in  
accordance with the polarity diagram  
inside the battery compartment.  
2
Notes:  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the  
DPC-8.5 is subjected to bright light, such as direct  
sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Keep this  
in mind when installing the DPC-8.5.  
Close the battery compartment.  
3
• If another remote controller of the same type is used in  
the same room, or the DPC-8.5 is installed close to  
equipment that uses infrared rays, the remote control-  
ler may not work reliably.  
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote con-  
troller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvert-  
ently, thereby draining the batteries.  
Notes:  
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the  
DPC-8.5 is installed in a rack behind colored glass  
doors. Keep this in mind when installing the DPC-8.5.  
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an obsta-  
cle between it and the DPC-8.5’s remote control sen-  
sor.  
• The supplied batteries should last for about six  
months, although this will vary with usage.  
• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try  
replacing both batteries.  
• Don’t mix new and old batteries, or different types of  
batteries.  
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long  
time, remove the batteries to prevent possible leakage  
and corrosion.  
• Flat batteries should be removed as soon as possible to  
prevent possible leakage and corrosion.

Connecting the DPC-8.5  
This chapter explains how to connect the DPC-8.5 to  
your other AV components.  
RCA AV Connection Color Coding  
RCA-type AV connections are usually color coded: red,  
white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-chan-  
nel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled “R”). Use  
white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and out-  
puts (typically labeled “L”). And use yellow plugs to  
connect composite video inputs and outputs.  
Before Making Any Connections  
• Read the manuals supplied with your AV components.  
• Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed  
all audio and video connections.

The DPC-8.5’s optical digital output  
socket has a dust cap for keeping out  
dust and dirt when it’s not in use.  
Remove the cap before inserting an  
optical plug, and push the plug in all  
the way to make a good connection.  
Keep the dust cap in a safe place for  
future use.

ConnectingYour TV or Projector  
This section explains how to connect the DPC-8.5 to  
your TV or projector.  
Turn off the DPC-8.5 and your TV, and dis-  
connect their power cords from the wall  
outlets.  
1
The TV handles the audio and video. If your TV has a  
Dolby Pro Logic decoder built-in, you’ll be able to enjoy  
DVDs and videos that bear the Dolby Surround logo.  
Connect the DPC-8.5 to yourTV as shown.  
2
To enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS (5.1-channel surround),  
you’ll need a suitable decoder (see page 23).  
When you’ve completed all connections,  
see “Turning On the DPC-8.5” on page 27.  
3
The DPC-8.5 has three types of video output: component  
video, S-Video, and composite video. Component video  
offers the best picture quality, so if your TV supports it,  
use a commercially available component video cable to  
connect one of the DPC-8.5’s COMPONENT VIDEO  
OUTPUTs to a component video input on your TV. If  
your TV supports progressive scanning, you must use  
component video in order to take advantage of that  
feature.  
See page 47 for more information on progressive scan-  
ning.  
S-Video offers better picture quality than composite  
video, so if your TV supports it, use the supplied  
S-Video cable to connect one of the DPC-8.5’s SVIDEO  
OUTPUTs to an S-Video input on your TV. Failing that,  
use the supplied composite video cable to connect one of  
the DPC-8.5’s VIDEO OUTPUTs to a composite video  
input on your TV.

Connecting the DPC-8.5—Continued  
Analog Audio Connection  
(Dolby Digital, DTS, DVD-Audio & SACD)  
Connecting an AV Receiver  
This section shows how to connect the DPC-8.5 to anAV  
receiver for Dolby Digital, DTS, DVD-Audio, and  
SACD playback.  
To fully enjoy the multichannel audio of DVD-Audio  
and SACD, you need to connect the DPC-8.5’s 5.1-chan-  
nel analog audio output to a multichannel analog audio  
input on an AV receiver. Dolby Digital and DTS  
soundtracks can also be fully enjoyed with this type of  
connection.  
Digital Audio Connection (Dolby Digital & DTS)  
To fully enjoy the Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks  
available on most DVD-Video discs, you need to connect  
one of the DPC-8.5’s digital audio outputs (OPTICAL or  
COAXIAL) to a digital audio input on a Dolby Digital/  
DTS-compatible AV receiver. You can also enjoy Dolby  
Surround material, if your AV receiver supports Dolby  
Pro Logic.  
Use a multichannel analog audio cable (RCA) to connect  
the DPC-8.5’s FRONT, SURR 1, CENTER, and SUB-  
WOOFER AUDIO OUTPUTs to a 5.1-channel analog  
audio input on your AV receiver. (You can use several  
separate RCA audio cables instead of a multichannel  
cable.) Set the SURR MODE (AUDIO OUT) switch  
to 1.  
Use an optical (or coaxial) digital audio cable to connect  
the DPC-8.5’s OPTICAL (or COAXIAL) DIGITAL  
AUDIO OUTPUT to an optical (or coaxial) digital audio  
input on your AV receiver, as shown.  
If your AV receiver supports 7.1-channels and you’re  
using back surround speakers, connect the DPC-8.5’s  
SURR 2 AUDIO OUTPUTs to the AV receiver’s sur-  
round back left and right inputs as well, and set the  
SURR MODE (AUDIO OUT) switch to 1+2.

• The output formats for the OPTICAL and COAXIAL  
digital audio outputs can be set independently (see  
page 56).  
Notes:  
• When playing a Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack, be  
sure to select Dolby Digital or DTS decoding, respec-  
tively, on your AV receiver. On some receivers, the  
appropriate listening mode is selected automatically.  
Refer to your AV receiver’s manual.  
You can experience Dolby Digital only with DVDs  
that bear the Dolby Digital logo. Likewise, you can  
experience DTS only with DVDs or CDs that bear the  
DTS logo.  
• In addition to a digital connection, it’s recommended  
that you also connect the D.MIXAUDIO OUTPUT to  
a spare analog audio input on your AV receiver. This  
will allow you to record audio to a cassette recorder or  
CD recorder. If yourAV receiver supports Zone 2, you  
must make an analog audio connection in order to  
select the DPC-8.5 as the input source for Zone 2.  
• Refer to the hookup information supplied with your  
AV receiver.  
You can experience Dolby Digital only with DVDs  
that bear the Dolby Digital logo. Likewise, you can  
experience DTS only with DVDs or CDs that bear the  
DTS logo.  
• DVD-Video discs may contain Dolby Digital and DTS  
soundtracks. The Dolby Digital soundtrack will be  
selected by default. To play the DTS soundtrack, use  
the movie’s main menu and look under Language or  
Audio Setup.Alternatively, use the remote controller’s  
[Audio] button (see page 47).  
• See “Analog Audio Out” on page 58 for information  
on how the FRONT sockets work.

digital noise may be heard, which may damage your  
equipment.  
Connecting a Stereo Amp  
• The output formats for the OPTICAL and COAXIAL  
digital audio outputs can be set independently (see  
page 56).  
• Never connect the DPC-8.5 directly to the AC-3RF  
input on a Dolby Digital receiver. TheAC-3RF format  
is not supported by the DPC-8.5.  
This section explains how to connect the DPC-8.5 to a  
stereo amp or receiver for sound quality better than that  
possible with most TV’s built-in speakers. This is great  
for listening to your CDs and MP3s, and DVDs and  
VCDs will sound better too. You can also enjoy Dolby  
Surround, if your amp supports Dolby Pro Logic.

• Do not move the DPC-8.5 or subject it to vibration  
during playback. Doing so may damage your discs or  
the DPC-8.5.  
This section explains how to start, pause, and stop play-  
back.  
Start  
To start playback, press the Play  
] button.  
Playback starts and the Play indica-  
tor appears on the display.  
You can improve the picture quality of paused play-  
back with the Pause/Still setting (see page 63).  
• Prolonged display of the same picture or menu may  
cause irreparable damage to your TV screen called  
screen burn-in. To prevent this, don’t keep playback  
paused for too long and always press the Stop [ ] but-  
ton when you’ve finished playing a DVD-Video disc  
or VCD. The DPC-8.5 features a screen saver to pro-  
tect your TV from the effects of burn-in (see page 63).  
• With some DVD-Video discs, you may experience  
picture noise that is not normally visible with regular  
TV broadcasts. This is usually because DVD-Video  
uses a lot of high-resolution video data. The amount of  
noise, if any, will depend on your particular TV and  
the problem can sometimes be alleviated by turning  
down your TV’s sharpness control.  
[
If it’s a DVD-Video disc, or a VCD  
with PBC (Playback Control), you may  
need to start playback from a menu (see  
page 32).

layer for playback in standard CD players. With this  
setting you can determine how SACDs are played by the  
DPC-8.5.  
Notes:  
• This setting affects only the analog multichannel out-  
put. To delay audio from the other outputs, use the  
delay settings (i.e., the speaker distance settings) on  
the connected AV receiver.  
2 ch Area  
The 2-channel stereo audio is played.  
• The AV Synchronization setting has no effect on  
SACD (multichannel area and 2-channel area) and  
196 kHz/176.4 kHz DVD-Audio.  
Multi ch Area (default)  
The multichannel audio is played.  
CD Area  
The CD layer of hybrid SACDs is played.  
Notes:  
• If Multi ch Area is selected, and an SACD that con-  
tains no multichannel area is selected, the 2-channel  
area will be played.
