Using the Digital Audio Output
DVD players accommodate a variety of audio
formats, including Dolby Digital, DTS and the
PCM audio format used by conventional CD
discs and some DVD playback. The DCR600
II
receiver can automatically detect any of these
digital formats. Depending on the format of the
discs in your library, you need to set a default
for the type of audio outputs accommodated.Although the DVD600
IIwill play all of these disc
types, this setting creates a default that tells
which way to present the soundtracks when
there is a choice.
To select a Digital Audio Output default, you
must be viewing the Setup Menu (Figure 1),
which is available by pressing the 
Menu
Button
zwhile the unit is in the Stop mode.
At the Setup Menu, press the 
¤Button
until the Digital Audio Out option is highlighted.
Next, press the 
Enter Button. Select 
one of the three choices in the options box
(Figure 15) using the 
⁄/¤Buttonsy.
The choices are as follows:
•PCM: Choose this setting if most of your
library consists of conventional CDs.
•Dolby Digital: Choose this setting only if you
do not plan on listening to any DTS selections.
Should you choose to watch a DVD movie or
listen to a CD which has a DTS audio track,
you must return to this menu and change this
selection to DTS.
•DTS: We recommend that you choose this
setting, since the DCR600
IIreceiver included
with your system is capable of automatically
detecting and decoding any of the three 
formats of DTS, Dolby Digital and PCM.
Figure 15
NOTE:If you select the DTS option, your 
receiver or processor MUST be capable of
decoding DTS audio. If the DTS option is chosen
and the unit is connected to a product that can-
not support DTS, no audio will be heard when a
DTS disc is played.
Remember, regardless of the option chosen, you
may still have to adjust the settings on your
DVD disc or audio equipment, if you do not use
the DCR600
II, to match the output of the
DVD600
II. In addition, the choice of which audio formats are available is limited by the type 
of material recorded on the disc when it was
authored.
When you have made your selection using the
⁄/¤Buttonsyto highlight the desired
option, press the 
Enter Buttonand note
that the circle next to your choice will fill in. The
menu system will then automatically return to
the status listing.
If you have no other changes to make after set-
ting this default, press the 
Menu Buttonz
to remove the Setup Menu from the screen, or
press the 
Play/Pause Buttonto
begin or resume playback.
Setting the Linear PCM Bit Rate
If the DVD600IIdetects a high-resolution, 96kHz
audio signal encoded on a disc, it can either
pass the signal through to the receiver or, if the
receiver is not capable of processing a 96kHz bit
rate signal, the DVD600
IIcan downsample the
signal to 48kHz. The Linear PCM menu enables
you to configure the DVD600
IIto match your
receiver by selecting which bit rate the
DVD600
IIshould apply.
The bit rate is set at the factory to default to
passing the full 96kHz signal through, as the
DCR600
IIreceiver is capable of processing this
signal. Therefore, you should not adjust this fea-
ture unless you use the DVD600
IIwith another
receiver that is not capable of processing a
96kHz signal.

should be used with any source that contains Dolby Surround or similar matrix encoding.
Logic 7 C delivers increased center-channel intelligibility, and more accurate placement of sounds 
with fades and pans that are much smoother and more realistic than with other decoding 
techniques. The Logic 7 M, or Music, mode should be used with analog or PCM stereo sources.
Logic 7 M enhances the listening experience by presenting a wider front soundstage and greater
rear ambience. Both Logic 7 modes also direct low-frequency information to the subwoofer
(if installed and configured) to deliver maximum bass impact.
Dolby 3 Stereo Uses the information contained in a surround-encoded or two-channel stereo program to  No surround channels

Operating the DCR600IIReceiver
Selecting a Surround Mode
One of the most important features of the
DCR600
IIis its ability to reproduce a full multi-
channel, surround sound field from digital
sources, analog matrix surround-encoded 
programs and standard stereo programs. In all, 
a total of thirteen listening modes are available
on the DCR600
II.
Selection of a surround mode is based on personal
taste, as well as the type of program source
material being used. For example, motion pictures
or TV programs bearing the logo of one of the
major surround-encoding processes, such as
Dolby Surround, DTS Stereo or UltraStereo may
be played in either the Dolby Digital, Dolby 
Pro Logic II Movies or Logic 7 Cinema surround
modes, depending on the source material.
NOTE:Once a program has been encoded with
matrix surround information, it retains the 
surround information as long as the program is
broadcast in stereo. Thus, movies with surround
sound may be decoded via any of the analog 
surround modes such as Pro Logic II or Logic 7,
when they are broadcast via conventional TV 
stations, cable, pay-TV and satellite transmission.
In addition, a growing number of made-for-television
programs, sports broadcasts, radio dramas and
music CDs are also recorded in surround sound.
You may view a list of these programs at the
Dolby Laboratories Web site at www.dolby.com.
Even when a program is not listed as carrying
intentional surround information, you may find
that the Pro Logic II, Logic 7, Hall 1, Hall  2 or
Theater modes often deliver enveloping surround
presentations through the use of the natural
information present in all stereo recordings.
However, for stereo – but not surround – pro-
grams, we suggest that you experiment with the 
other modes.
Surround modes are selected using either the
front panel controls or the remote. To select a
surround mode from the front panel, press the
Surround Mode Selector7to scroll up or
down through the list of available modes. To
select a surround mode using the remote, press
the 
Surround Mode Selectortand then
press the ⁄/¤Button yto change 
the mode. As you press the buttons, the
Surround mode name will appear in the 
Main
Information Display 
U, and an individual
mode indicator will also light up 
CDFHI
JKL
. 
Note that the Dolby Digital and DTS modes may
only be selected when a digital input is in use.
In addition, when a digital source is present, theDCR600
IIwill automatically select and switch to
the correct mode (Dolby Digital or DTS), regardless
of the mode that has been previously selected.
For more information on selecting digital sources,
see the following section of this manual.
To listen to a program in traditional two-channel
stereo, using the front left and front right 
speakers only (plus the subwoofer if installed
and configured), follow the instructions shown
above for using the remote until 
SURR OFF
appears in the Main Information Display U.
Note that the DCR600
IIdoes not include a bal-
ance control. Also, as described elsewhere in
this manual, the bass and treble adjustments are
accessed by pressing the Tone Mode Button6
followed by the Set Button ^.
Using Digital Sources
Digital audio is a major advance over older systems
such as the original version of Dolby Pro Logic. It
delivers five discrete channels: front left, center,
front right, surround left and surround right. Each
channel reproduces full frequency range (20Hz to
20kHz) and offers dramatically improved dynamic
range and significant improvements to signal-to-
noise ratios. In addition, digital systems have the
capability to deliver an additional channel that is
specifically devoted to low-frequency information.
This is the “.1” channel referred to when you see
these systems described as “5.1”. The bass chan-
nel is separate from the other channels, but
since it is intentionally bandwidth-limited, sound
designers have given it that unique designation. 
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital (originally AC-3®) is a standard part
of DVD, and is available on satellite broadcasts
and is a part of the new high-definition television
(HDTV) system. Some digital cable television sys-
tems also provide a Dolby Digital signal. However,
due to cable’s inherent bandwidth limitations, this
may be only a 2.0-channel version rather than full
5.1-channel Dolby Digital. Check with your cable
provider.
Note that an optional, external RF demodulator
is required to use the DCR600
IIto listen to the
Dolby Digital soundtracks available on laser
discs. Connect the RF output of the LD player to
the demodulator and then connect the digital
output of the demodulator to the
Opticalor
Coaxial Inputs™£of the DCR600II. No
demodulator is required for use with DVD 
players or DTS-encoded laser discs. 
DTS
DTS is another digital audio system that is
capable of delivering 5.1 audio. Although both
DTS and Dolby Digital are digital, they use dif-ferent methods of encoding the signals, and
thus they require different decoding circuits to
convert the digital signals back to analog.
DTS-encoded soundtracks are available on
select DVD discs, as well as on special audio-
only DTS discs. You may use any CD player
equipped with a digital output to play DTS-
encoded discs with the DCR600
II. All that is
required is to connect the player’s output to
either the 
Opticalor Coaxial Input™£on
the rear panel.
In order to listen to DVDs encoded with DTS
soundtracks, the DVD player must be compatible
with the DTS signal as indicated by a DTS logo
on the player’s front panel. This does not indicate
a problem with the DCR600
II, as some players
cannot pass the DTS signal through to the digital
outputs. Note that, although early DVD players
may not be able to play DTS-encoded DVDs, the
DVD600
IIis compatible. If you are in doubt as to
the capability of your DVD player to handle DTS
discs, consult the player’s owner’s manual.
Selecting a Digital Source
To utilize either digital mode, you must have
properly connected a digital source to the
DCR600
II. Connect the digital outputs from DVD
players, HDTV receivers, satellite systems or CD
players to theOpticalor Coaxial Inputs™£.
The DCR600IIautomatically assigns the
Coaxial 1 Input ™to the DVD video input.
Make sure to connect the 
Coaxial Digital
Output 
on the back of the DVD600IIto 
this input.
Since the DCR600
IIdoes not have an analog
audio input available for the DVD source, if, in
the future, you decide to use a different DVD
player, one requiring an analog audio connec-
tion, you may wish to connect that player to the
VID1, VID2 or VID3 input instead. 
When playing a digital source, first select the
input using the remote or front panel controls as
outlined in this manual. Next, select the digital
source by pressing the 
Digital Input Selector
Button
*and then using the ⁄/¤Buttons
yon the remote or theSelector
Buttons 
5on the front panel to choose any of
the 
OPTICALor COAXIALinputs, as
they appear in the 
Main Information Display
U, or Source IndicatorsBE. This proce-
dure may also be used to select an input
source’s analog audio input, if available. The
DCR600
IIdoes not offer an analog audio input
for DVD. Note that the DVD input of the
DCR600
II is configured at the factory to default
to the COAX 1 digital input.

							54
Operating the DCR600IIReceiver
When the digital source is playing, the DCR600II
will automatically detect whether it is a multi-
channel Dolby Digital or DTS source, or a conven-
tional PCM signal, which is the standard output
from CD players. A 
Bitstream IndicatorA
will light in the Main Information Display (
to confirm that the digital signal is Dolby Digital,
DTS or PCM.
Digital Status Indicators
When a digital source is playing, the DCR600II
senses the type of bitstream data that is present.
Using this information, the correct surround
mode will automatically be selected. For example,
DTS bitstreams will cause the unit to switch to
DTS decoding, and Dolby Digital bitstreams will
enable Dolby Digital decoding. When the unit
senses PCM data from CDs, it will allow the
appropriate surround sources to be selected
manually. Since the range of available surround
modes is dependent on the type of digital data
that is present, the DCR600
IIuses a variety of
indicators to let you know what type of signal is
present. This will help you to understand the
choice of modes. 
When a digital source is playing, a 
Bitstream
Indicator
Awill light to show which type of
signal is playing:
DOLBY D:When the DOLBY D IndicatorA
lights, a Dolby Digital bitstream is being
received. Depending on the settings on the
source player and specific surround information
and number of channels on the disc, a number
of surround modes are possible. For discs with
full 5.1 audio, only the Dolby Digital mode is
available. When the Dolby Digital signal is only
two-channel, you may also select from the Logic
7 Cinema/Music, Hall, Theater, Dolby Pro Logic
II Movies/Music/Emulation, or Dolby 3 Stereo
modes. When the receiver detects a 2.0-channel
Dolby Digital signal, it will automatically select
Dolby Pro Logic II as the surround processing
mode, and both the 
Dolby DigitalDand
Dolby Pro Logic IIFindicators will light, in
accordance with the requirements of Dolby
Laboratories.
DTS: When the DTS IndicatorAlights, a
DTS bitstream is being received. When the unit
senses this type of data, only the DTS mode may
be used.
PCM: When the PCM IndicatorAlights, a
standardPulse Code Modulation, or PCM, signal
is being received. This is the type of digital
audio used by conventional compact disc and
laser disc recordings. When a PCM bitstream is present, all modes except Dolby Digital and DTS
are available.
In addition to the bitstream indicators, the 
DCR600
IIfeatures a set of unique channel-input
indicators that tell you how many channels of
digital information are being received and/or
whether the digital signal is interrupted.
These indicators are the L/C/R/SL/SR/LFE let-
ters that are inside the center boxes of the
Speaker/Channel Input IndicatorsMin the
front panel 
Main Information Display(.
When a standard analog signal is in use, only
the “L” and “R” indicators will light, as analog
signals have only left and right channels,
respectively.
Digital signals, however, may have two, five or
six separate channels, depending on the 
program material, the method of transmission
and the way in which it was encoded. When a
digital signal is playing, the letters in these 
indicators will light in response to the specific
signal being received. It is important to note
that although Dolby Digital, for example, is
referred to as a “5.1” system, not all Dolby
Digital DVDs or programs are encoded for 5.1.
Thus, it is sometimes normal for a DVD with a
Dolby Digital soundtrack to trigger only the “L”
and “R” indicators.
NOTE:Many DVD discs are recorded with both
“5.1” and “2.0” versions of the same sound-
track. When playing a DVD, always be certain to
check the type of material on the disc. Most discs
show this information in the form of a listing or
icon on the back of the disc jacket. When a disc
does offer multiple soundtrack choices, you may
have to make some adjustments to your DVD
player (usually with the “Audio Select” button or
in a menu screen on the disc) to send a full 5.1
feed to the DCR600
II. It is also possible for the
type of signal feed to change during the course
of a DVD playback. In some cases, the previews
of special material will only be recorded in 2.0
audio, while the main feature is available in 5.1
audio. As long as your DVD player is set for 6-
channel output, the DCR600
IIwill automatically
sense changes to the bitstream and channel
count and reflect them in these indicators.
The letters used by the 
Speaker/Channel
Input Indicators
Malso flash to indicate
when a bitstream has been interrupted. This will
happen when a digital input source is selected
before the playback starts, or when a digital
source such as a DVD is paused. The flashing
indicators remind you that the playback has
stopped due to the absence of a digital signaland not through any fault of the DCR600
II. This
is normal, and the digital playback will resume
once the playback is started again.
Night Mode
A special feature of Dolby Digital is the Night
mode, or Dynamic Range Compression mode,
which enables these input sources to be played
back with full digital intelligibility while reduc-
ing the minimum peak level by 
1/4to 1/3. This
prevents abruptly loud transitions from disturb-
ing others, without reducing the impact of the
digital source. The Night mode is available only
when Dolby Digital signals with special data are
being played.
The Night mode may be engaged when a Dolby
Digital DVD is playing by pressing the 
Night
Mode Button 
on the remote. Next, press
the ⁄/¤Buttonsyto select either the
middle range or full-compression versions of the
Night mode. To turn the Night mode off, press
the 
⁄/¤Buttonsyuntil the message 
in the lower third of the video display and the
Main Information DisplayUreads 
D-Range Off.
IMPORTANT NOTES 
ON DIGITAL PLAYBACK
1.
When the digital playback source is stopped,
or in a Pause, Fast Forward or Chapter Search
mode, the digital audio data will momentarily
stop, and the channel position letters inside the
Speaker/Channel Input IndicatorsMwill
flash. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem with either the DCR600
IIor the source
machine. The DCR600
IIwill return to digital
playback as soon as the data is available and
when the machine is in a standard play mode.
2. Although the DCR600IIwill decode virtually all
DVD movies, CDs and HDTV sources, it is possible
that some future digital sources may not be com-
patible with the DCR600
II.
3. Note that not all digitally encoded programs
contain full 5.1-channel audio. Consult the pro-
gram guide that accompanies the DVD to deter-
mine which type of audio has been recorded on
the disc. Also, due to bandwidth limitations, dig-
ital cable television signals may contain only a
2.0-channel Dolby Digital signal. Check with
your cable provider. The DCR600
IIwill automati-
cally sense the type of digital surround encoding
used and adjust to accommodate it.
4. When a digital source is playing, you may not
be able to select some of the analog surround
modes such as Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby 3 Stereo,
Hall, Theater or Logic 7.

Operating the DCR600IIReceiver
5. When a Dolby Digital or DTS source is playing,
it is not possible to make an analog recording
using the Tape¶and Video 1 Record Outputs
›fi. However, the digital signals will bepassed
through to the 
Digital Audio Output¡.
PCM Audio Playback
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) is the noncom-
presseddigital audio system used for compact
discs and laser discs. The digital circuits in the
DCR600IIare capable of high-quality digital-to-ana-
log decoding, and they may be connected directly
to the digital audio output of your CD player.
Connections may be made to the rear panel
Opticalor Coaxial Inputs™£.
To listen to a PCM digital source, first select the
input for the desired source (e.g., CD). Next press
the 
Digital Select Button *and then
use the 
⁄/¤Buttonsyon the remote,
or the
Selector Buttons5on the front panel,
until the desired digital input choice, e.g. 
COAX 2or OPTICAL 1, appears in the
Main Information Display U. 
When a PCM source is playing, the 
PCM
Indicator
Awill light. During PCM playback,
you may select any surround mode except 
Dolby Digital or DTS.
Playback from PCM sources may also benefit
from the Logic 7 mode. When playing back a 
surround-encoded PCM source, such as a sur-
round-encoded CD, use the Logic 7 C (or Cinema)
mode. When playing true stereo recordings, use
the Logic 7 M (or Music) mode for a wider
soundstage and increased rear-channel ambience.
Similarly, the Dolby Pro Logic II modes may also
increase your enjoyment of PCM and analog
sources. Choose the Music mode for stereo
recordings. For surround-encoded sources, you
may choose either the Emulation mode or the
Movies mode, which more closely re-creates a
Dolby Digital sound field with discrete informa-
tion provided to the surround channels.
With the great variety of surround modes avail-
able on the DCR600
IIreceiver, you are encour-
aged to experiment to find the modes that suit
your tastes, as well as different modes depend-
ing on the source material.

picture may disappear when play is stopped and
the DVD600
IIis placed in the Resume mode. To
restore the picture, fully stop play by pressing
the 
Stop Buttontwice before contin-
uing play.

this is your indication that there is multiple-
angle information on the disc being played. To
change the angle, press the 
Angle Buttonuntil the desired angle view appears. An
on-screen banner message will appear to

Using the DVD Disc’s Menu
One of the unique features of the DVD system is
that it offers a producer the opportunity to include
a wide range of features on a disc, including 
multiple-language tracks; subtitles in a variety
of languages; special information such as movie
trailers and cast information; as well as other
custom-tailored information. In addition, produc-
ers may divide a movie or program into chapters
that allow for quick access to specific parts of the
program. These chapters may be accompanied
by thumbnail pictures of a scene from the 
specific chapter to help you select the desired
spot on the disc.
When a disc is playing, press the 
Menu Button
zto pause the playback and display the disc’s
menu. As there are no hard rules about style
and content of DVD menus, the way they appear
on the screen and the information they contain
will vary from one disc to another. However, the
following general rules apply to most menus:
•The first menu that appears is the Main
Menu, and you may move through the options
with the 
⁄/¤/‹/›Buttonsy`
as the disc’s programming allows. The
option selected will typically be highlighted in
a certain color or inside an outline box.
•To select a highlighted option, which may
either play a portion of the disc or move to 
a submenu, press the 
Enter Buttonor Play/Pause Button.

Operating the DVD600IIDVD Changer
•On some discs, when you select the DVD
menu during the playback of a movie, the disc
will return to the point in the program where
the menu was selected by offering a “Play
Movie” option. Press the 
Enter Buttonor Play/Pause Buttonto
resume play. However, not all discs offer this
feature, and selecting the menu while playing
a movie may mean that you will either have
to go back to the beginning of the program or
the start of a chapter. This feature is out of
the control of the DVD600
II, as it is set by the
disc’s internal programming. 
•Some DVD discs also feature a Chapter
Selection menu. Press the 
Title Buttonxto proceed directly to the disc’s Chapter
Selection option.
IMPORTANT NOTES 
ON DVD PLAYBACK
Due to the nature of this product category, DVD
players, while being operated at elevated tem-
peratures, may exhibit certain anomalies such
as picture freeze-ups. If this occurs, the
DVD600
IIneeds to be “reset” by powering it
down and up again, using its master On/Off
switch. Should this occur with your DVD600
II,
first check your discs for any damage, scratches
and fingerprints. If discs are OK, then ventilation
around the DVD600
IIneeds to be increased to
ensure proper operation.
The DVD600
IIis capable of all the features and
options covered by the DVD standards. However,
it is up to the producer of a DVD disc to decide
which of those features and functions are avail-
able on any given disc. For that reason, not all
discs will function identically, and some discs
will not have many of the features of the DVD
system. For example, most current DVD discs do
not take advantage of the multiple-angle fea-
ture. When the player displays the “Feature
Prohibited” icon “

”, this indicates that the disc
has not been programmed for that feature.
In addition, it is common for the producers of
DVD discs to block the use of certain functions
during only some parts of a disc. For example,
many discs prohibit the use of fast-play buttons
or prohibit access to the Chapter Menu display
during the playback of copyright notices, studio
logos, movie credits or trailers. The appearance
of the “Feature Prohibited” icon “

”,  or the
inability of certain features to operate when the
disc itself has prohibited them, does not indi-
cate a problem with the DVD600
II, as these fea-
tures are outside of the unit’s control. 
Using the Menu Bar
The DVD600IIis equipped with a powerful on-screen display system that serves the dual pur-
pose of showing you the current status of the
DVD600
IIwhile enabling quick and easy
changes to settings and functions. Depending
on whether a DVD or CD is in use, the menu will
vary to display information that is specific to the
type of disc in play.

Selecting Titles and Chapters
Some discs contain more than one title.
Remember that a disc may contain one title or
two separate program titles, or the disc may use
the Title function to separate the special feature
sections or audio tracks on the disc. The use of
titles is optional with the producer of each DVD
disc, as is the way in which he/she may choose
to implement the feature. You may directly
access any chapter while the disc is playing or
in Pause mode simply by entering its number
using the remote.
To change the title on those discs using the
Menu Status Bar, follow these steps:
1. During disc playback, press the Status
Button
e.
2. If needed, press the ‹/›Buttons`
until the disc icon for the current title, with the
letter “T” underneath it, is highlighted in white
between yellow brackets.
3. Press the Enter Button.
4.Note that the number to the right of the “T”
will be replaced with two dashes (– –).
5. Use the Numeric Keys–
to enter the number of the title to be accessed.
6.The desired title will automatically be started.
Titles may also be selected during the playback
of a DVD by pressing the 
Title Buttonx.
However, the action of the disc when pressing
this button will vary from disc to disc. On occa-
sion, pressing this button will take you to the
disc’s main menu while, in other cases, pressing
this button will result in no action at all.
The movies or programs on most discs are divided
into individual chapters, as selected by the
disc’s producer. Using the on-screen Menu Bar,
you may view the number of the current chapter
and move to any chapter on the disc.
To change the chapter using the Menu Status
Bar, follow these steps:
1. During disc playback, press the Status
Button
e.
2. Press the ‹/›Buttons`until the
icon showing a disc and a file folder (second
from left), with the letter “C” beneath it, is 
highlighted in white between yellow brackets.
3. Press the Enter Button.

while the disc is playing to skip to that chapter.
Changing Languages (Audio)
DVD discs may contain a variety of audio tracks,
including foreign languages, special commen-
taries, descriptive video for the sight-impaired,
and various digital formats. Some DVD-Audio
discs that contain linear PCM or Dolby Digital
5.1 audio tracks may allow you to access these
tracks using the Audio feature described in this
section. In normal play, the unit will always look
for the default setting for the audio track, but
you may change the audio track at any time
using the Menu Status Bar and following these
steps:
1.During disc playback, press the Status
Button
e.
2. Press the ‹/›Buttons`until the
speaker icon (third from the left) is highlighted
in white between yellow brackets.
3. Press the Enter Button.
4.Note that the main Menu Bar will be replaced
with a single display of the current language
type (Figure 19).
Figure 19
5. Press the Enter Buttonuntil the desired
audio track is displayed. Note that the audio
tracks available on a disc will vary and that they
are always listed on the disc’s jacket or cover.
6.Within a few seconds, the disc will continue
play with the newly selected audio track.
Note that the audio track type selected in this
fashion is temporary and will only remain in
effect until the player is turned off. When the
unit is turned on for subsequent play, the
default audio type will always be used.
The audio track may also be selected during 
the playback of a DVD by pressing the 
Audio
Button
t. After pressing the button, the audio
track may be changed by pressing the 
Enter
Button
until the desired audio track is
shown. Note, however, that some discs do notallow audio track change while a disc is playing.
When the 
Audio Buttontis pressed on this
type of disc, the player will go to the disc’s own
menu page for audio track selection. In this
case, use the 
‹/›/⁄/¤Buttonsy`
to make the selection from the menu
screen and then press the 
Enter Button.
The functionality of the 
Audio Buttontmay
vary from disc to disc. Many discs will allow you
to change the playback language while the disc
is playing, as noted earlier. However, when the
Audio Buttontis pressed with some discs,
playback will stop and you will be taken to the
disc’s own audio menu. At that menu, use the
‹/›/⁄/¤Buttonsy`to high-
light the desired playback language. Press the
Enter Buttonwhen the choice is made
and the disc will either resume playback or 
take you to the disc’s main menu. Note that
these functions are controlled by information
programmed within the disc, and are outside 
of the control of the DVD600
II.
DVD discs may contain a variety of subtitles. In
normal play, the unit will always look for the
default setting for the subtitle language, but you
may change that language at any time using the
Menu Status Bar and by following these steps:
1. During disc playback, press the Status
Button
e.
2. Press the ‹/›Buttons`until the
letter “S” icon (fourth from the left) is highlighted
in white between yellow brackets.
3. Press the Enter Button.
4. Note that the main Menu Bar will be replaced
with a single display of the subtitle language
(Figure 20).
Figure 20
5. Press the Enter Buttonuntil the desired
subtitle language is displayed. Note that the
subtitles available on a disc will vary, and they
are always listed on the disc’s jacket or cover.
Some discs may not offer alternative subtitles,
or any subtitles at all.
6. Press theSubtitle On/Off Button and
the 
Enter Buttonand within a few sec-
onds the disc will continue to play with the
newly selected subtitle language.
Note that the subtitle language selected in this
fashion is temporary, and will remain in effectuntil the player is turned off. When the unit 
is turned on for subsequent play, the default
subtitle language will always be used.
The subtitle language may also be selected dur-
ing the playback of a DVD by pressing the
Subtitle Button. After pressing the but-
ton, the language may be changed by pressing
the 
Enter Buttonuntil the desired choice
is shown. Note, however, that some discs do
not allow audio track change while the disc is
playing. When the 
Subtitle Buttonis
pressed, the player will go to the disc’s own
menu page for subtitle disc selection. In this
case, use the 
‹/›/⁄/¤Buttonsy`
to make the selection from the menu
screen and then press the 
Enter Button.
IMPORTANT NOTE:The steps indicated on 
the page allow you to change the subtitle lan-
guage, but they do not determine whether the
subtitles are actually displayed on the screen.
To have the subtitles appear at any time, press
the 
Subtitle On/Off Buttonto toggle the
subtitles on or off with each press of the button.
When the subtitles are active, a check-mark
icon “

the subtitle description as shown earlier.
Also note that some DVD discs do not contain
subtitles. When the 
Subtitle On/Off Button
is pressed on a disc with no subtitles, the
Prohibit icon “

” will appear on screen.
Changing Camera Angles
A special feature of the DVD format is its capa-
bility of showing more than one view, or camera
angle, of the same scene. This feature enables
you to become the director, selecting the view
of a scene that you wish. Note, however, that
this feature does not appear on many discs and,
when it does appear, it will typically be for only
certain scenes and not for the entire disc’s pro-
gram. If you attempt to use the multiple-angle
feature on a disc that is not programmed for it,
you may see the “Prohibited Feature” icon “

”
on the screen. This is not a fault of the player; it
simply indicates that the feature is not available
on the disc being played.
To see whether a disc contains multiple angles,
check the disc’s cover or jacket. When a disc
does contain scenes with multiple angles, the pro-
ducers will usually include some sort of special
on-screenicon to alert you to the availability of
different angles of view. When you see such an
icon, the angle may be changed by the following
steps:
1. Press the Status Buttone.(continued)

Playing MP3 and Video CD Discs
The DVD600IIis rare among DVD players in that
it is able to play discs containing MP3 audio
files. This means that you may enjoy the latest
music, using discs created in your computer,
through the high quality audio components in
your home the
ater system. As the way that MP3
files are recorded 
on discs differs from the way
conventional CD audio discs are structured, MP3
playback is somewhat different from standard CDs.
