Restoring factory settings

If you have made a lot of changes to the setup, and want to restart from a known set of options, restore the unit to the factory settings as follows:

1.With the unit turned off, press and hold down the STOP button.

2.While holding down the STOP button, press the POWER switch.

All memories are erased, and the unit returns to the factory settings.

Changing the Color System (NTSC/PAL)

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

1.Turn the unit off.

2.While holding down the PAUSE button of the main unit, press the POWER switch.

3.While “V Set NTSC” (or “V Set PAL”) is displayed on the front panel display, press the / button.

The display changes to “V Set PAL” (or “V Set NTSC”).

Select “V Set PAL” when a PAL TV (European standard) is connected. Select “V Set NTSC” when a NTSC TV (American standard) is connected.

4.Press the POWER switch to turn the unit off.

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.

The UX-1 player uses six DACs with high-quality 14-bit 216MHz processing for video output. This type of DAC, the ADV7314, employs new Noise shaping Video (NSV) technology from Analog Devices, Inc. of the USA.

NSV technology uses multi-bit delta-sigma conversion, removing video noise and providing low noise and high linearity, without the loss of information that is often associated with analog filtering systems.

Noise Shaped Video and NSV are registered trademarks of Analog Devices, Inc.

To eliminate “jaggies” and produce clear natural images, the UX-1 uses DCDi (Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) technology. The circuits employed are from the Faroudja business devision of Genesis Microchip, and enable hardware- based diagonal line detection and smoothing from a pixel- based image. As a result, smoother progressive-scan images can be produced, with “jaggie” noise reduced by interpolation techniques.
