Disc Compatibility and Handling In this section, you will learn which discs can be used with your DV-C601, and how to handle, clean, and store them. Discs You can Use Cleaning Discs Disc mark Contents Disc size Maximum playback time Approx. 4 hours (single sided disc) Approx. 8 hours (double-sided disc) Approx. 80 minutes (single-sided disc) Approx. 160 minutes (double-sided disc) 12 cm VIDEO CDs Audio + Video (moving pictures) 12 cm Approx. 74 minutes 8 cm Approx.
Connecting the DV-C601 to a TV Here is how to connect your DVD Changer to your TV set. In this case, both the video and audio signals will be played back by your TV set. Connecting the DV-C601 to a TV 1. Switch off the DVD Changer and theTV set. 2. Connect the DV-C601 to yourTV set as shown in the illustration.
Connecting to an Audio System and TV with COMPONENT VIDEO Inputs ■ It is also possible to “split” the audio and video signals by sending the video signal to your TV set and the audio signal to an amplifier.
Other Audio Playback Options ■ You can enjoy high-quality surround audio playback by connecting the DV-C601 to an amplifier equipped with a Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic Surround, or DTS decoder. Furthermore you can transfer the signal of audio CDs to your amplifier in the digital domain if it is fitted with a digital input. See pages 10 and 11 for the video hookup of the DV-C601 to your TV set.
Getting Started Warnings • If you connect to the digital input of an amplifier that does not have a Dolby Digital decoder or DTS decoder, set the DV-C601’s “Audio Out Select” function to “PCM.” Any other setting may damage your ears or speakers when using high volume levels. • During playback of DTS-encoded audio CDs, excessive noise may be output from the ANALOG OUTPUTs.
CAUTION Keep your fingers clear of the disc drawer as it is closing to avoid personal injury.

To obtain a higher picture quality Occasionally, some picture distortion not usually visible during a normal telecast may appear on the TV screen during playback of a DVD video. This is due to the fact that DVD videos provide a higher resolution and therefore also more data to process. While the amount of noise depends on the TV you connect the DVD Changer to, reducing the sharpness setting on your TV when viewing DVD videos may alleviate the problem.
