by the manufacturer.  
6. ATTACHMENTS: Do not use attachments not recommended by the unit manufacturer as they may cause hazards.  
7. WATER AND MOISTURE: Do not use the unit near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink,  
or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool.  
8. ACCESSORIES: Do not place the unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall,  
causing serious injury to a child, an adult, or damage to the unit. Mounting of the unit should follow the  
manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.  
9. VENTILATION: Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the  
unit and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The top or bottom panel  
openings should never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The unit should  
not be installed in a built-in location such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. There should  
be free space of at least 6 inches (16cm) above the unit and an opening behind the unit.  
10. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION: The unit may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a  
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety  
feature. If you cannot insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should fail to fit, contact  
a licensed electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
11. POWER SOURCES: The unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking  
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your unit dealer or local power  
company.  
12. POWER CORD PROTECTION: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are unlikely to be walked on or  
pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay close attention to cords where they enter a plug, or a convenience  
receptacle, and the point where they exit from the unit.  
13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING: If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the  
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.  
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, NSI/NFPA 70, provides information regarding 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
14. LIGHTNING: For added protection for the unit 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 unit due to lightning and power line surges.  
15. POWER LINES: An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other  
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside  
antenna system, take extreme care to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be  
fatal.  
16. OVERLOADING: Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can  
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.  
17. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY: Never push objects of any kind into the unit 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 unit.  
18. SERVICING: Do not attempt to service the unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to  
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.  
19. REPLACEMENT PARTS: When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used  
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized  
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.  
20. SAFETY CHECK: Upon completion of any service or repairs to the unit, ask the service technician to perform safety  
checks to determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.  
21. WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING: The unit should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the  
manufacturer.  
22. HEAT: The unit should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other units  
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
23. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Before connecting a new component such as the DVD 7 to your audio or home  
theater system it is always good practice to make certain that all components are turned off, and preferably  
unplugged from their AC power source. Many modern electronics products feature automatic turn-on circuits that  
may be activated during an installation, causing the potential for damage to electronic components and/or speakers.  
Such damage is not covered by product warranties and Cary Audio specifically disclaims responsibility for any such  
damage.  
Power Cord: The removable power cord that is shipped with the player is specifically designed to be used with this  
product. Other AC cords may be used, so consult your dealer for advice on AC power cords and high quality wire in  
your system.  
AC Fuse: The fuse is located inside the chassis and is not user serviceable. If power does not  
come on, contact your authorized service representative.  
Wiring: Cables that run inside of walls should have the appropriate markings to indicate compliance with, and listing  
by the UL, CSA or other standards required by the UL, CSA, NEC or your local building code. Questions about cables  
inside of walls should be referred to a qualified custom installer, or a licensed electrician or low-voltage contractor.  
Do Not Open the Cabinet: There are no user serviceable components inside this product. Opening the cabinet  
may present a shock hazard, and any modification to the product will void your warranty. If water or any metal  
object, such as a paper clip, coin, or staple accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power source  
immediately and contact Cary Audio for further instructions.  
24. RECORDING COPYRIGHT: Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is illegal without  
permission of the copyright holder.  
25. NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to  
article 820-40 of the NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70, which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies  
that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry  
as practical.

MAKING CONNECTIONS  
To accommodate a wide range of home entertainment systems, this player features numerous  
types of connections for both audio and video. Please continue reading this section for help  
determining the best possible connections for your system.  
BEFORE CONNECTING  
Read the instruction manuals of any component that you plan to connect to the DVD 7 player.  
For all components, turn the power off and unplug them from the wall outlet before making any  
connections.  
Connect the DVD 7 player to the TV directly. If you connect the DVD 7 player to a VCR, TV/VCR  
combination, or video selector, the playback picture may be distorted as DVD Video images are  
copy protected.  
Please note that video connections to a TV or monitor are necessary because some discs require  
on-screen menu interaction before they can be played.  
CONNECTIONS TO A TV  
Using the Audio/Video Connection Cable  
Using the audio/video cable (Three RCA cables with left and right audio plus one video cable,  
not included), make audio connections from the ANALOG OUTPUT L and R jacks to the  
corresponding audio input jacks on the TV. In the same manner, make the composite video  
connection from the VIDEO OUTPUT video jack to the corresponding video input jack on the TV.  
Be sure to set Audio Setup > Speaker Setup Select to "Movie Stereo" using the on-screen setup  
menu.  
Note: Be sure to match the colors of the plugs on the cable with the corresponding  
jacks on the DVD 7 player and the TV: yellow for composite video, red for R (right)  
audio and white for L (left) audio.  
OPTIONAL VIDEO CONNECTIONS  
Visible improvement in video quality, when compared to composite video connections, can be  
achieved by making either S-Video or component video connections to a TV or monitor  
compatible with these connections. When either S-Video or component video connections are  
made, it is not necessary to make composite video connections using the yellow cord of the  
audio-video cable.  
Making Component Video Connections (Interlaced)  
If the TV or monitor has interlaced component video inputs, making this type of video  
connection will produce the ideal picture quality for the presentation of DVD video. Using a  
component video cable (not included), connect the interlaced VIDEO OUTPUT COMPONENT  
jacks to the corresponding component video input jacks on the TV. Actual labels for  
component video inputs may vary depending on the TV manufacturer. (E.g. Y, R-Y, B-Y or Y,  
CB, CR) Component video cables are typically designated with red (R), blue (B), and green  
(G) color bands to show how to correctly connect them to the player and the TV.  
9
 
MAKING CONNECTIONS  
In some TVs or monitors, the colors levels of the playback picture may be reduced slightly or  
the tint may change. In such a case, adjust the TV or monitor for optimum performance. Be  
sure to set Audio Setup > Speaker Setup Select to "Movie Stereo" using the on-screen menu.  
Making Component Video Connections (Progressive)  
Some TVs or video monitors are equipped with Progressive Scan component video inputs  
(with BNC Connectors) that are capable of reproducing a progressively scanned video signal.  
Connecting to these inputs allows you to view the highest quality picture with less flicker.  
Please ensure that the Red, Blue, and Green designated cables are correctly connected by  
matching colors at the DVD player and at the TV connections. Component video connections  
offer the best video playback for many TVs.  
Making S-Video Connections  
If the TV or monitor has an S-video input, making this type of video connection will produce  
improved picture quality over a composite video connection. Using an S-video cable, connect  
the VIDEO OUTPUT S-Video jack to the corresponding S-video input jack on the TV. Be sure  
to set Audio Setup Speaker Setup Select to "Movie Stereo" using the on-screen menu.  
OPTIONAL AUDIO CONNECTIONS  
The DVD 7 player provides numerous ways to take full advantage of the digital multi-channel  
sound recorded on DVD media.  
When listening to CD Audio  
For full enjoyment of CD Audio media, it is recommended to make connections from the Left  
and Right ANALOG OUTPUT jacks to the Left and Right DVD or CD player input connections  
on your preamplifier, AV Receiver or surround processor.  
Making Stereo Audio Connections  
By making connections to a stereo system, you can improve the quality of the sound of  
cinematic presentations as well as make effective use of the DVD player's ability to playback  
CDs. Using an audio cable (sold separately), make audio connections from the ANALOG  
OUTPUT L and R jacks to the corresponding jacks on the stereo component.  
Note: Be sure to match the colors of the plugs on the cable with the corresponding  
jacks on the DVD player and the stereo component: red for Right audio and white for  
Left audio. Do not make connections to the PHONO input jacks on the stereo  
component, as it is not compatible with regular line level inputs.  
Digital Connections  
Make digital connections from the DVD player to an AV component that features digital input  
capability or one or more multi-channel audio decoders to realize the full cinematic  
experience made possible by the DVD format. This DVD player features one set each of an  
optical and a coaxial digital audio output jack and can output Dolby Digital, DTS and PCM bit  
streams. Make connections from the DIGITAL OUTPUT OPTICAL (Toslink) jacks to the digital  
optical input jack on the AV component using an optical fiber cable (sold separately). Make  
connections from the DIGITAL OUTPUT COAXIAL jacks to the digital coaxial input jack on the  
AV component using a coaxial cable (sold separately). It is not necessary to make more than  
one type of digital connection to a single component, when you are making connections to  
an amp or receiver that has internal Dolby Digital or DTS decoding capabilities.

GETTING STARTED  
SWITCHING ON  
After making sure that everything is connected properly and that the player is plugged in, press  
the POWER button on the front panel to turn the player on. Turn on your TV and make sure that  
it is set to the correct input for the DVD 7.  
The front panel POWER button switches the player ON and OFF. When the player is OFF, it can  
only be turned back on using the front panel button or the ON button on the remote control.  
When the player is ON, you can put it into STANDBY using the POWER button on the remote  
control handset or the front panel button.  
USING THE ON-SCREEN DISPLAYS  
For ease of use, this player makes extensive use of graphical on-screen displays (OSDs).  
Familiarize yourself with the way these work as you'll need to use them when setting up the  
player, or when using some of the playback features and making more advanced settings for  
audio and video.  
The screens are navigated in a similar way, using the cursor buttons to change the highlighted  
item and pressing ENTER to select it.  
CHANGING SETTINGS TO MATCH YOUR TV  
Using the SETUP menu, you can determine the settings that best fit your TV and system. Press  
the SETUP button. Use the UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHTcursors buttons to select  
the desired setting.  
1. Select VIDEO SETUP.  
2. Select TV DISPLAY.  
If you have a widescreen or 16x9 TV, select the Wide  
setting. Widescreen DVD software is shown using the  
full screen area. When playing software recorded in  
conventional (FS or full screen, 4x3) format, the  
settings on your TV will determine how the material  
is presented. See the manual that came with your TV  
for details on what options are available.  
If you have a conventional or 4x3 TV, select either  
NORMAL (Letter Box) or NORMAL (Pan & Scan). In  
Letter Box mode, widescreen software is shown with  
black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. Pan  
and Scan chops the sides off of widescreen material  
to make it fit the NORMAL screen (so even though  
the image looks larger on the screen, you're actually  
seeing less of the picture). Press ENTER to save the  
setting.

TV TYPE  
TV Type allows you to set your TV's video format.  
NTSC & PAL Video Standards  
There are differences in discs for the NTSC and the PAL  
TV systems. The MPEG video on a DVD disk is stored in a  
digital format. It is formatted for one of two mutually  
incompatible television systems, either as NTSC or as  
PAL/SECAM. Therefore, there are two kinds of DVDs  
available, either NTSC DVDs or PAL DVDs. Some players  
only play NTSC discs; others play PAL and NTSC discs.  
North America, Japan, Korea, the Philippines and parts of South America use the NTSC  
format for video. The rest of the world mostly uses the PAL video format. There are two  
ways to watch both PAL and NTSC DVDs. You can either view your DVDs on a multi-system  
TV display or video projector or you can choose an NTSC/PAL or PAL/NTSC capable DVD  
Player. The Cinema DVD 7 is capable of playing either PAL or NTSC format DVD disks. If you  
are a movie collector who loves foreign films, the DVD 7 will play your entire collection.  
NTSC (Factory default)  
Select this when your TV's video format is NTSC. If NTSC is selected, output format is fixed  
to NTSC.  
PAL  
Select this when your TV's video format is PAL. If PAL is selected, output format is fixed to  
PAL.  
MULTI  
Select this when your TV is compatible with both the NTSC and PAL formats. NTSC signals  
are output from the video output jacks when discs recorded in NTSC format are played, and  
PAL signals are output from the video output jacks when discs recorded in PAL format are  
played. Many plasma and LCD based video displays are compatible with this setting.

Brightness  
The Brightness control could also be called the black level control. It adds or subtracts  
an offset, or bias, into the red, green, and blue signals. This should be adjusted so that  
black picture content displays as true black on your video display. Incorrect adjustment  
of this control is the most common problem of poor quality picture reproduction on  
video displays. Set the brightness control first, and then adjust the Contrast control.
