Important
Safeguards
For your protection, please read these safety
instructions completely before operating the appliance,
and keep this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and
instructions on the appliance, or the one described in
the operating instructions and adhere to them.
Use
Installation
Power sources
This set should be operated only
from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of
electrical power supplied to your
home, consult your dealer or local power company.
For those sets designed to operate from battery power,
or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized ac power cord
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), or
with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a
third pin for grounding). Follow the instructions
below:
For the set with a polarized AC power
cord plug:
This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
forcing it in.
For the set with a three-wire grounding
type AC plug:
This plug will only fit into a
grounding-type power outlet. This
is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet
installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords or convenience
receptacles beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire or
electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into
the set through openings as they
may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in
a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the set.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer, as
they may cause hazards.
Cleaning
Unplug the set from the wall outlet
before cleaning or polishing it. Do
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a cloth lightly
dampened with water for cleaning
the exterior of the set.
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated sets
near water - for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or
near a swimming pool, etc.
Power-Cord Protection
Route the power cord so that it is
not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular
attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where
the cord exits from the appliance.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The set may
fall, causing serious injury to a
child or an adult, and serious damage to the set. Use
only a cart stand tripod, bracket, or table recommended
by the manufacturer.
An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance
and cart combination to overturn.
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of
the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots
and openings must never be blocked or covered.
• Never cover the slots and
openings with a cloth or
other materials.
• Never block the slots and
openings by placing the set
on a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface.

Antennas
Service
• Never place the set in a
confined space, such as a
bookcase, or built-in
cabinet, unless proper
ventilation is provided.
• Do not place the set near or
over a radiator or heat
register, or where it is
exposed to direct sunlight.
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outdoor antenna or cable system is installed,
follow the precautions below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light
or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with
such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA
SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN
TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER
LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM
IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code
provides information with respect to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
Antenna Grounding According to the
National Electrical Code
Lightning
For added protection for this set during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the set due to lightning and power-
line surges.

Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
• When the power cord or plug is
damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the
set.
• If the set has been exposed
to rain or water.
• If the set has been
subject to excessive
shock by being
dropped, or the cabinet
has been damaged.
• If the set does not operate
normally when following
the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls
that are specified in the
operating instructions. Improper adjustment
of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the set to normal
operation.
• When the set exhibits a distinct change in
performance - this indicates a need for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the set
yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other
hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specified
by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics
as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or
repairs to the set, ask the service
technician to perform routine
safety checks (as specified by the
manufacturer) to determine that
the set is in safe operating
condition.

Precautions
On safety
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
place objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, on the apparatus.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into
the cabinet, unplug the player and have it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
On power sources
• The player is not disconnected from the AC
power source as long as it is connected to
the wall outlet, even if the player itself has
been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the player for a
long time, be sure to disconnect the player
from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC
power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.
On placement
• Place the player in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the

damp room, moisture may condense on the
lenses inside the player. Should this occur,
the player may not operate properly. In this
case, remove the disc and leave the player
turned on for about half an hour until the
moisture evaporates.
• When you move the player, take out any
discs. If you don’t, the disc may be
damaged.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to
a section with very low level inputs or no
audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be
damaged when a peak level section is played.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a
soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of
abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent
such as alcohol or benzine.
On cleaning discs
Do not use a commercially available cleaning
disc. It may cause a malfunction.
On transporting the player
Before transporting the player, follow the
procedure below to return the internal
mechanisms to their original positions.
1 Remove all the discs from the disc tray.
2 Press A to close the disc tray.
Make sure that “NO DISC” appears on
the front panel display.

Notes
• Notes about DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/
DVD-Rs or CD-Rs/CD-RWs
Some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVD-
Rs, or CD-Rs/CD-RWs cannot be played on this
player due to the recording quality or physical
condition of the disc, or the characteristics of the
recording device and authoring software.
The disc will not play if it has not been correctly
finalized. For more information, refer to the
operating instructions for the recording device.
Note that some playback functions may not work
with some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if they
have been correctly finalized. In this case, view
the disc by normal playback. Also some DATA
CDs/DATA DVDs created in Packet Write
format cannot be played.
• Music discs encoded with copyright protection
technologies
This product is designed to playback discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with
copyright protection technologies are marketed
by some record companies. Please be aware that
among those discs, there are some that do not
conform to the CD standard and may not be
playable by this product.
• Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which
mates DVD recorded material on one side with
digital audio material on the other side.
However, since the audio material side does not
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard,
playback on this product is not guaranteed.
Note on playback operations of
DVDs and VIDEO CDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and
VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by
software producers. Since this player plays
DVDs and VIDEO CDs according to the disc
contents the software producers designed,
some playback features may not be available.
Also, refer to the instructions supplied with
the DVDs or VIDEO CDs.

Using the PROGRESSIVE button
By using the PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel, you can select the signal format in
which the player outputs video signals (Progressive or Interlace), and the conversion method for
progressive signals. The PROGRESSIVE indicator lights up when the player outputs
progressive signals.
Each time you press PROGRESSIVE, the display changes as follows:
PROGRESSIVE AUTO
m
PROGRESSIVE VIDEO
m
NORMAL (INTERLACE)
◆PROGRESSIVE AUTO
Select this setting when:
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,
–the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks.
Normally select this under the above condition. This automatically detects the software type, and
selects the appropriate conversion method.
Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when
either of the above conditions is not met.
◆PROGRESSIVE VIDEO
Select this setting when:
– your TV accepts progressive signals, and,
–the TV is connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks, and,
–you want to fix the conversion method to PROGRESSIVE VIDEO for video based software.
Select this if the image is not clear when you select PROGRESSIVE AUTO.
Note that the picture will not be clear or no picture will appear if you select these settings when
either of the above conditions is not met.
◆NORMAL (INTERLACE)
Select this setting when:
–your TV does not accept progressive signals, or,
–your TV is connected to jacks other than the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks (LINE OUT
(VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT).
About DVD software types and the conversion method
DVD software can be divided into two types: film-based software and video-based software.
Video-based software is derived from TV, such as dramas and sit-coms, and displays images at
30 frames/60 fields per second. Film-based software is derived from film and displays images at
24 frames per second. Some DVD software contains both video and film.
In order for these images to appear natural on your screen when output in progressive format,
the progressive signals need to be converted to match the type of DVD software that you are
watching.
Notes
• When you play video-based software in progressive signal format, sections of some types of images may
appear unnatural due to the conversion process when output through the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT
jacks. Images from the S VIDEO OUT and LINE OUT (VIDEO) jacks are unaffected as they are output in
the normal (interlace) format.
• When using LINE OUT (VIDEO) or S VIDEO OUT, the picture may appear to flicker each time the
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel is pressed (Interlace switches to Progressive or vice versa).

TV Virtual Surround
Settings
(TVS)
When you connect a stereo TV or 2 front
speakers, TVS (TV Virtual Surround) lets
you enjoy surround sound effects by using
sound imaging to create virtual rear speakers
from the sound of the front speakers (L: left,
R: right) without using actual rear speakers.
TVS was developed by Sony to produce
surround sound for home use using just a
stereo TV.
This only works when playing a multichannel
Dolby audio sound track. Furthermore, if the
player is set up to output the signal from the
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL or COAXIAL)
jack, the surround effect will be heard only
when “DOLBY DIGITAL” is set to “D-
PCM” in “AUDIO SETUP”(page 65).

◆TVS DYNAMIC THEATER
Creates one set of LARGE virtual rear
speakers and virtual subwoofer from the
sound of the front speakers (L, R) without
using actual rear speakers and subwoofer
(shown below).
This mode is effective when the distance
between the front L and R speakers is short,
such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.
◆TVS DYNAMIC
Creates one set of virtual rear speakers from
the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without
using actual rear speakers (shown below).
This mode is effective when the distance
between the front L and R speakers is short,
such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.
◆TVS WIDE
Creates five sets of virtual rear speakers from
the sound of the front speakers (L, R) without
using actual rear speakers (shown below).
This mode is effective when the distance
between the front L and R speakers is short,
such as with built-in speakers on a stereo TV.
◆TVS NIGHT
Large sounds, such as explosions, are
suppressed, but the quieter sounds are
unaffected. This feature is useful when you
want to hear the dialog and enjoy the
surround sound effects of “TVS WIDE” at
low volume.
◆TVS STANDARD
Creates three sets of virtual rear speakers
from the sound of the actual front speakers (L,
R) as shown below. This mode is effective
when you use 2 separate speakers.
Notes
• When you select one of the TVS modes, turn off
the surround setting of the connected TV or
amplifier (receiver).
• Not all discs will respond to the “TVS NIGHT”
function in the same way.
• When the playing signal does not contain a signal
for the rear speakers, the surround effects cannot
be heard.
• When you select one of the TVS modes, the
player does not output the sound of center
speaker.
• Make sure that your listening position is between
and at an equal distance from your speakers, and
that the speakers are located in similar
surroundings.
• The TVS effects do not work when using the Fast
Play or Slow Play functions, even though you can
change the TVS modes.

About MP3 Audio Tracks
and JPEG Image Files
MP3 is audio compression technology that
satisfies the ISO/IEC MPEG regulations.
JPEG is image compression technology.
You can play DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that
contain MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image
files.
DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that the
player can play
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/
CD-Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-
ROMs/DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/
DVD-Rs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio
Layer III) and JPEG format.
However, the discs must be recorded
according to ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2 or
Joliet, and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk
Format (UDF).
Refer to the instructions supplied with the
disc drives and the recording software (not
supplied) for details on the recording format.
Note
The player may not be able to play some DATA
CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write
format.
MP3 audio track or JPEG image
file that the player can play
The player can play the following tracks and
files:
–MP3 audio tracks with the extension
“.MP3.”
–JPEG image files with the extension
“.JPEG” or “.JPG.”
–JPEG image files that conform to the DCF*
image file format.
* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image
standards for digital cameras regulated by JEITA
(Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association).
Notes
• The player will play any data with the extension
“.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG,” even if they are not
in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing these data may
generate a loud noise which could damage your
speaker system.
• The player does not conform to audio tracks in
mp3PRO format.
• Some JPEG files cannot be played.
About playback order of albums,
tracks, and files

When you insert a DATA CD/DATA DVD
and press H, the numbered tracks (or files)
are played sequentially, from 1 through 7.
Any sub-albums/tracks (or files) contained
within a currently selected album take
priority over the next album in the same tree.
(Example: C contains D so 4 is played
before 5.)
When you press MENU and the list of album
names appears (page 51), the album names
are arranged in the following order:
A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums
that do not contain tracks (or files) (such as
album E) do not appear in the list.
z Hints
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front
of the track/file names when you store the tracks
(or files) in a disc, the tracks and files will be
played in that order.
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start
playback, it is recommended that you create
albums with no more than two trees.
Notes
• Depending on the software you use to create the
DATA CD/DATA DVD, the playback order may
differ from the above illustration.
• The playback order above may not be applicable
if there are more than 200 albums and 300 tracks/
files in each album.
• The player can recognize up to 200 albums (the
player will count just albums, including albums
that do not contain MP3 audio tracks and JPEG
image files). The player will not play any albums
beyond the 200th album.
• Proceeding to the next or another album may take
some time.
Playing MP3 Audio
Tracks or JPEG Image
Files
You can play MP3 audio tracks and JPEG
image files on DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-
Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-ROMs/

z Hint
You can view the disc information while playing
MP3 audio tracks (page 39).
Notes
• DATA CDs recorded in KODAK Picture CD
format automatically start playing when inserted.
• If no MP3 audio track or JPEG image file is
recorded on the DATA CD/DATA DVD, “No
audio data” or “No image data” appears on the
screen.

using the PROGRESSIVE button on the
front panel (the PROGRESSIVE indicator
lights up) even though your TV cannot
accept the progressive signal. In this case,
select “NORMAL (INTERLACE)” so that
the PROGRESSIVE indicator turns off.
, Even if your TV is compatible with
progressive format 480p signals, the image
may be affected when you set the player to
progressive format. In this case, select
“NORMAL (INTERLACE)” using the
PROGRESSIVE button on the front panel
so that the PROGRESSIVE indicator turns
off and the player is set to normal (interlace)
format.
The picture does not fill the screen, even
though the aspect ratio is set in “TV TYPE”
under “SCREEN SETUP.”
, The aspect ratio of the disc is fixed on your
DVD.

COAXIAL) jack, check the audio settings
(page 66).
, While playing a Super VCD on which the
audio track 2 is not recorded, no sound will
come out when you select “2:STEREO,”
“2:1/L,” or “2:2/R.”
Sound distortion occurs.
, Set “AUDIO ATT” in “AUDIO SETUP” to
“ON” (page 65).

Self-diagnosis Function
(When letters/numbers appear in the
display)
When the self-diagnosis function is activated
to prevent the player from malfunctioning, a
five-character service number (e.g., C 13 50)
with a combination of a letter and four digits
appears on the screen and the front panel
display. In this case, check the following
table.
Glossary
Album (page 49, 51)
A unit in which to store JPEG image files or
MP3 audio tracks on a DATA CD/DATA
DVD. (“Album” is an exclusive definition for
this player.)
Chapter (page 11)
Sections of a picture or a music feature that
are smaller than titles. A title is composed of
several chapters. Depending on the disc, no
chapters may be recorded.
Dolby Digital (page 20, 66)
Digital audio compression technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories. This
technology conforms to multi-channel
surround sound. The rear channel is stereo
and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in
this format. Dolby Digital provides the same
discrete channels of high quality digital audio
found in “Dolby Digital” theater surround
sound systems. Good channel separation is
realized because all of the channel data is
recorded discretely and little deterioration is
realized because all channel data processing
is digital.
DTS (page 20, 66)
Digital audio compression technology that
Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This
technology conforms to multi-channel
surround sound. The rear channel is stereo
and there is a discrete subwoofer channel in
this format. DTS provides the same discrete
channels of high quality digital audio.
Good channel separation is realized because
all of the channel data is recorded discretely
and little deterioration is realized because all
channel data processing is digital.

pictures even though its diameter is the same
as a CD.
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-
sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7
times that of a CD. The data capacity of a
double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5

Additional Information
DVP-NC60P
2-585-637-11(1)
9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided
DVD is 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, a
worldwide standard of digital compression
technology. The picture data is compressed to
about 1/40 (average) of its original size. The
DVD also uses a variable rate coding
technology that changes the data to be
allocated according to the status of the
picture. Audio information is recorded in a
multi-channel format, such as Dolby Digital,
allowing you to enjoy a more realistic audio
presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions
such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and
Parental Control functions are provided with
the DVD.
DVD-RW (page 7)
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable
disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO.
The DVD-RW has two different modes: VR
mode and Video mode. DVD-RWs created in
Video mode have the same format as a DVD
VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video
Recording) mode allow the contents to be
programmed or edited.
DVD+RW (page 7)
A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and
rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording
format that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO
format.
File (page 49, 52)
A JPEG image recorded on a DATA CD/
DATA DVD (“File” is an exclusive
definition for this player.) A single file
consist of a single image.
Film based software, Video based
software (page 19)
DVDs can be classified as Film based or
Video based software. Film based DVDs
contain the same images (24 frames per
second) that are shown at movie theaters.
Video based DVDs, such as television
dramas or sit-coms, displays images at 30
frames/60 fields per second.
Normal (Interlace) format (page 19)
Normal (Interlace) format shows every other
line of an image as a single “field” and is the
standard method for displaying images on
television. The even number field shows the
even numbered lines of an image, and the odd
numbered field shows the odd numbered lines
of an image.
Progressive format (page 19)
Compared to the Interlace format that
alternately shows every other line of an image
(field) to create one frame, the Progressive
format shows the entire image at once as a
single frame. This means that while the
Interlace format can show 30 frames/60 fields
in one second, the Progressive format can
show 60 frames in one second. The overall
picture quality increases and still images,
text, and horizontal lines appear sharper. This
player is compatible with the 480 progressive
format.
Progressive JPEG
Progressive JPEGs are used mostly on the
internet. They are different from other JPEGs
in that they “fade in” gradually instead of
being drawn from top to bottom when
displayed on a browser. This lets you view the
image while it is being downloaded.
Title (page 11)
The longest section of a picture or music
feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video
software, or the entire album in audio
software.
