DVD Player in stop mode for about five minutes.
After the Screen Saver has been engaged for about five
minutes, the DVD Player will automatically turn itself off.
Video Mode Setting
With certain discs, the playback picture may be flick-
ering or Dot Crawl is shown on straight lines. That
means Vertical interpolation or De-interlace is not
perfectly matched with the disc. In this case, the
picture quality may be improved by changing the
video mode.
To change the video mode, press and hold DISPLAY
about 3 seconds during disc playback. The new video
mode number selected is displayed on the TV screen.
Check whether the video quality has improved. If not,
repeat the above procedure until picture quality is
improved.
Video mode change sequence:
MODE1 → MODE2 → MODE3 → MODE1
If you turn off the power, the video mode will be back
to initial state (MODE1).

or video material) is determined from disc information.
MODE2: Suitable for playing film based content or video based
material recorded by the progressive scan method.
MODE3: Suitable for playing video based content with compar-
atively little motion.

HDCD Playback
HDCD is a process that increases the fidelity of both
specially encoded HDCD discs and standard CD audio
discs. When an HDCD-encoded disc is playing, the spe-
cial decoder is automatically activated and the HDCD
Indicator lights. No user intervention is required.
To enjoy the benefits of HDCD, your DVD Player must
be connected to your A/V receiver via the Analog Audio
Outputs. However, if your A/V receiver or surround
processor is equipped with built-in HDCD decoding, you
may also use a Coaxial or Optical digital audio connec-
tion so that the HDCD processing is done there.
