4 01 S001_En Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you ’ ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it ’ s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association ’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly , without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “ comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “ normal ” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. T o establish a safe level: • Start your volume control at a low setting. • Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly , and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: • Set the dial and leave it there. T aking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime. We W ant Y ou Listening For A Lifetime Used wisely , your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association ’ s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection. Decibel Level Example 30 Quiet librar y , soft whispers 40 Living room, refrigerator , bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 V acuum cleaner , hair dr yer , noisy restaurant 80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

Communication with a Computer The DVD- V5000 communicates to the computer through the RS-232C port using pins 2 and 3 for communication and P in 1 o n the 15-pin D-sub connector or P in 5 o n the 9-pin D-sub connector for g rounding. Control or “ handshaking” lines other t han the TxD and RxD connections are not required. Please refer to the diagram below for clarification . Computer DVD- V5000 TxD Pin 3 – RxD RxD Pin 2 – TxD GND P in 1 – GND (P in 5 – GND Some computers require the CTS port to be set to HIGH during communication . It is best to connect the CTS and DSR port on the computer to the DTR port on the player . During normal operation the player ’ s DTR is set to HIGH thus the unit is able to receive a command at any time. Command and Status During normal operation when a computer transmits commands to a DVD- V5000, the player responds with the status message, ‘execution complete ’ . Example COMPUTER DVD-V5000 (1) “Search to Frame 1000”  (2) Search Execution  (3) Complete (4) “Play to Frame 2000”  (5) Play Execution  (6) Complete Example 10SE 20PL<CR> : Search to Chapter 10 then play to 20 The command string enters the buffer with the first character and continues sequentially from left to right. When <CR> is entered, the commands are executed sequentially beginning with the first command in the buffer . In the example above, the first command is 10SE .
73 11 Additional Information When all the commands in a string have finished executing, the player transmits or returns the “ complete” message that is represented by a capital letter R . If an error occurs, the player returns an error message such as E04. The message indicates an error has occurred as well as the type of error . Error messages are in the form of EXX where XX represents a 2-digit error code. Error Messages If an error occurs during a command execution , the player returns an error code. The table below lists each code with a description of the error: Code E00 E04 E06 E11 E12 E15 E16 E99 Message Communication error F eature not available Missing argument Disc does not exist Search error P icture stop Interrupt by other device P anic Description Communication Line Error due to framing error or buffer overflow Non-Usable F unction has been tried – either the command mnemonic is wrong or the command can not be used in this mode Correct parameter is not specified There is no disc in the tray Search address is missing Playback has been stopped by VOBU Still while in the Auto Play mode The command(s) sent via the serial line were not executed before commands were sent from the front panel buttons and/or remote control Unrecoverable Error occurred – possible that a disc cannot be loaded and/or playing cannot continue Command Structure The DVD - V5000 supports the commands listed below .

76 11 Additional Information 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 . Aspect ratio 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). Digital audio An indirect representation of sound by numbers. During recording, the sound is measured at discrete inter vals (44,100 times a second for CD audio) by an analog-to-digital converter , generat- ing a stream of numbers. On playback, a digital- to -analog converter generates an analog signal based on these numbers. See also Sampling frequency and Analog audio . Dolby Digital Using a maximum of 5.1 channels of audio, this high quality surround system is used in many of the finer movie theaters around the world. The on-screen display shows which channels are active, for example showing 3/2.1. The 3 being the two front channels and the center channel; the 2 being the surround channels, and the .1 being the LFE channel. DTS DTS stands for Digital Theater Systems. DTS is a surround system different from Dolby Digital that has become a popular surround sound format for movies. Dynamic range 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 ver y wide range, delivering dramatic cinema-like effects. 1 MPEG audio An audio format used on Video CDs and some DVD discs. This unit can convert MPEG audio to PCM format for wider compatibility with digital recorders and A V amplifiers. See also PCM (P ulse Code Modulation) . MPEG video The video format used for Video CDs and DVDs. Video CD uses the older MPEG-1 standard, while DVD uses the newer and much better quality MPEG -2 standard. PBC (PlayBack Contr ol) (V ideo CD only) A system of navigating a Video CD through on- screen menus recorded onto the disc. Especially good for discs that you would normally not watch from beginning to end all at once —karaoke discs, for example. PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) The most common system of encoding digital audio, found on CDs and DA T . Excellent quality , but requires a lot of data compared to formats such as Dolby Digital and MPEG audio. F or compatibility with digital audio recorders (CD, MD and DA T) and AV amplifiers with digital inputs, this unit can convert Dolby Digital, DTS and MPEG audio to PCM. See also Digital audio . Regions (DVD-V ideo only) These associate discs and players with particular areas of the world. This unit will only play discs that have compatible region codes. Y ou can find the region code of your unit by looking on the rear panel. Some discs are compatible with more than one region (or all regions). Sampling frequency The rate at which sound is measured to be turned into digital audio data. The higher the rate, the better the sound quality , but the more digital information is generated. Standard CD audio has a sampling frequency of 44.1kHz, which means 44,100 samples (measurements)
