Cleaning Discsseparates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (PR, PB), providing better picture quality than S-Video.

•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.

✔

•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.

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.

Copyright

It is forbidden by law to copy, broadcast, show, broadcast on cable, play in public, or rent copyrighted material without permission.

DVD-Video discs are copy-protected, and any record- ings made from these discs will be distorted.

■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.

■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.

■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.

■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-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.

■DVD-R (DVD recordable): A type of DVD disc that can be recorded only once. Can be used for DVD-Video or DVD-Audio.
