Caution!

•

DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a

personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may

not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there

is dirt or condensation on the player’s lens.

•

If you record a disc using a personal computer,

even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there

are cases in which it may not play because of the

settings of the application software used to create

the disc. (Check with the software publisher for

more detailed information.)

All DVD Video discs carry a region mark on

the case somewhere that indicates which

region(s) of the world the disc is compat-

ible with. Your DVD player also has a region

mark, which you can find on the rear panel.

Discs from incompatible regions will not

play in this player. Discs marked ALL will

play in any player.

If you watch only part of a DVD Video disc with the intention of

picking up later where you left off, you can bookmark the place

then resume playback at a later date without having to manually

search for the right place.

You can use this feature for up to five discs (after that the

oldest bookmark is deleted to make space for a new one).

Bookmarking also works with Video CDs, but for one disc only,

and you must leave the disc in the player—opening the disc tray

erases the memory. Last Memory may not work reliably with

some PBC Video CDs.

You can’t use bookmarking with DVD-Audio and DVD-RW discs.

Depending on the disc, you may not be able to use

bookmarking with DVD-Video or Video CD discs.

•

At the point from which you want to resume playback next

time, press LAST MEMO.

Press 7 if you want to stop playback here.

•

To resume playback, load the disc and press LAST MEMO.

If the disc starts auto playback, stop it first.

To clear the bookmark for the disc loaded, press LAST MEMO

then CLEAR while ‘Last Memory’ is displayed on-screen.

Memorizing disc settings (CONDITION MEMORY)

If you have a particular set of preferences for a disc, you can memorize

them using the Condition Memory function. Once memorized, your

settings will be recalled automatically whenever you load that disc. The

player can store settings for 15 discs; after this, memorizing another

replaces the oldest one stored.

Condition Memory does not work with DVD-Audio and DVD-RW discs.

The settings memorized are:

• Multi-Angle (page 25)

• Subtitle Language (page 25)

• Audio Language (page 26)

• On Screen Display (page 40)

• Video Adjust (page 49)

• Parental Lock level (page 55)

•

To memorize settings for the current disc, press CONDITION MEMO

during playback.

To recall memorized settings, just load the disc.

The display shows COND_MEM and ‘Condition Memory’ appears on-screen.

•

To clear memorized settings, load the disc and press CLEAR while

‘Condition Memory’ is displayed on-screen.

disc, depending on the complexity of the file structure. During this

time, ‘Please wait a moment’ is displayed.

• The track name is displayed for the first five seconds of the track.

After the selected track has played out, the next track recorded on the

disc starts playing.

• Press 8 while a track is playing to pause. Press again to restart

playback.

• Press 4 / ¢ to skip to the previous/next track on the disc.

• Press and hold 1 / ¡ to scan backward/forward.

DVD Setup Menu

To help you gauge the correct gain levels, set the Test

Tone to On (test tone from just that speaker) or Auto

(test tone from each speaker in turn, excluding the

subwoofer) then adjust the gain so that all speakers

appear to be the same volume from your listening

position.

Gain Settings

• Default setting: Fix

You may want to make this setting if you connected this

player to your amplifier using the 5.1 channel analog

outputs.

Under the default setting, all channels are output at

the relative volumes they were recorded at. Change the

setting to Variable if you want to adjust the relative

volume levels of any of the speakers. Adjustment is in

the range of -6dB to +6dB, in steps of 0.5dB.

Follow the on-screen displays to select speakers and

set the channel levels.

•

You can adjust the Test Tone setting only when the

player is stopped.

•

Many AV amplifiers allow you to make similar

settings at the amplifier stage. In this case, set the

channel levels at the player or the amplifier, not

both.

•

When set to Variable, the overall output level may

sound quieter than when set to Fix. This is not a

malfunction.

Note

•

As the test tone plays through a speaker, its name is

highlighted in yellow on-screen.

Gain settings are not effective when playing a CD with

CD Digital Direct set to On.

If you have a widescreen TV, select the 16:9

(Wide) setting—widescreen DVD software is then

shown using the full screen area. When playing

software recorded in conventional (4:3) format,

the settings on your TV will determine how the

material is presented—see the manual that came

with your TV for details on what options are

available. If your TV does not have settings for how

4:3 sources look, choose the 16:9(Compressed)

setting. The picture you see on your TV will be

determined by the disc. See page 68 for more

information.

If you find that the picture is stretched or dis-

torted on the default S2 setting, try changing it to

S1.

Additional Information

Handling discs

Discs to avoid

When holding discs of any type, take care not to leave

fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold

the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge.

Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If you

can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or

otherwise damaged, don't risk using it in your

player—you could end up damaging the unit.

Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback perfor-

mance. Take care also not to scratch the label side of

the disc. Although not as fragile as the recorded side,

scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable.

This unit is designed for use with conventional,

fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not

recommended for this product.

Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust,

etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly

from the center to the outside edge as shown in the

diagram below.

Cleaning the pickup lens

The DVD player’s lens should not become dirty in

normal use, but if for some reason it should

malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your

nearest MARANTZ-authorized service center.

Although lens cleaners for CD players are commer-

cially available, we do not recommend using them

since some may damage the lens.

Don’t wipe the disc surface

using circular strokes.

Wipe lightly from the

center of the disc using

straight strokes.

If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a

commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a

disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or

other cleaning agents, including products designed for

cleaning vinyl records.

Problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the player if it is

brought into a warm room from outside, or if the

temperature of the room rises quickly. Although

the condensation won’t damage the player, it may

temporarily impair its performance. For this reason

you should leave it to adjust to the warmer

temperature for about an hour before switching

on and using.

Storing discs

Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable than

vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and

store discs correctly. When you're not using a disc,

return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving

discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments

(including under direct sunlight).

Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a

pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing

instrument. These could all damage the disc.

For more detailed care information see the instructions

that come with discs.

Do not load more than one disc into the player.

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come,

so please bear in mind the following points when

choosing a suitable location for it:

Moving the player

If you need to move the player, first press POWER

ON/OFF button on the front panel to turn the player

off, then unplug the power cord. Never lift or move the

unit during playback—discs rotate at a high speed and

may be damaged.

Do...

ꢀ Use in a well-ventilated room.

ꢀ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table,

shelf or stereo rack.

Power cord caution

Don’t...

Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull

out the plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the

power cord when your hands are wet, as this could

cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the

unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the power

cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a

knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power

cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be

stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or

give you an electric shock. Check the power cord once

in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest

MARANTZ authorized service center or your dealer for

a replacement.

✗ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or

humidity, including near radiators and other heat-

generating appliances.

✗ Place on a window sill or other place where the

player will be exposed to direct sunlight.

✗ Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.

✗ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other

component in your stereo system that becomes hot

in use.

✗ Use near a television or monitor as you may

experience interference—especially if the television

uses an indoor antenna.

✗ Use in a kitchen or other room where the player may

be exposed to smoke or steam.

✗ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—

this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.

✗ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not

large enough to support all four of the unit’s feet.

DTS

Glossary

Analog audio

An electrical signal that directly represents sound.

Compare this to digital audio which can be an

electrical signal, but is an indirect representation

of sound. See also Digital audio.

DTS stands for Digital Theater System. DTS is a

surround system different from Dolby Digital that

has become a popular surround sound format for

movies.

Aspect ratio

Dynamic range

The width of a TV screen relative to its height.

Conventional TVs are 4:3 (in other words, the

screen is almost square); widescreen models are

16:9 (the screen is almost twice as wide as it is

high).

The difference between the quietest and loudest

sounds possible in an audio signal (without

distorting or getting lost in noise). Dolby Digital

and DTS soundtracks are capable of a very wide

dynamic range, delivering dramatic cinema-like

effects.

Bonus Group (DVD-Audio only)

An ‘extra’ group on some DVD-Audio discs that

requires a key number to access. See also Group.

File extension

A tag added to the end of a filename to indicate

the type of file. For example, “.mp3” indicates an

MP3 file.

Browsable pictures (DVD-Audio only)

A feature of some DVD-Audio discs in which the

user can browse still pictures recorded on the disc

as the audio is played. See also Slideshow.

Group (DVD-Audio only)

A collection of tracks on a DVD-Audio disc.

Equivalent to a DVD-Video title. See also Title and

Track.

Chapter (DVD-Video, DVD-RW)

Just as a book is split up into several chapters, a

title on a DVD disc is usually divided into chapters.
