Connecting the Power/Turning on the DVD Player

Before connecting

The DPS-8.3 is shipped with the main power (Power) switch in the on position (_ On). When the power cord is plugged in for the first time, the DPS-8.3 will automatically enter the standby state and the Standby indicator will light (same condition after step 2 below).

Make sure that all the connections on pages 15-18 are complete (the connection to a TV is required).

1

Plug the supplied power cord into

the AC INLET and then into the

power outlet on the wall.

• Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the DPS-8.3. The power cord supplied is designed for use with the DPS-8.3 and should not be used with any other device.

• Never have the power cord disconnected from the DPS-8.3 while the other end is plugged into the wall outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always connect by plugging into the wall outlet last and disconnect by unplugging from the wall outlet first.

The STANDBY indicator lights up.

The buttons on the remote controller do not operate if the Power switch is set to Off.

3 Standby/On

Press Standby/On on the DVD

Player or On on the remote

controller.

The DVD Player turns on and the Standby indicator turns off.

To put the DVD Player in the standby mode, press Standby/On on the DVD Player, or Standby on the remote controller. Be sure to set the volume to minimum before putting the DVD Player in the standby mode for the next use to avoid sudden loud sound reproduction.

While the Standby indicator lights up, the DVD Player can receive signals from the remote controller. However, if you press Power on the DVD Player to switch off the main power, the remote controller cannot be used to turn on the DVD Player.

Setting the Standby button to standby does not shut off the power completely.

Setting the TV System (Australian model only)

The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO.

If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region’s system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).

SHRINK

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.
