won't use the DGX-212 for an extended
period of time, unplug the unit from the wall

When unplugging the player from the wall
outlet, always pull the plug, not the cord.
Do NOT handle the power cord with wet
hands.
Avoid moisture, water and dust
Do not place the player in a moist
environment or in an area where there
might be an excessive amount of dust build
up (e.g. near a fan).
If water or any liquid should get into the unit,
turn off the power and unplug the unit from
the wall outlet immediately. Consult your
dealer or an authorized repair station.
Using the unit in this state may lead to fire
or electrical shock.
Avoid high temperatures.

Important Reminders
Any disc that is not listed above will cause the
player to display NO DISC in the Display
Window. Future media and disc formats maybe
supported with firmware upgrades, when
available.
Encoding methods of some media formats may
affect playback, e.g., unable to fast forward,
long load time, etc. Be sure that the encoding
process conforms to the standards for that
particular format.
Do not expose the player to direct sunlight
or place near any heating device.
Notes on Installation
Select a place where the unit will be level,
dry, and not too cold or hot.
Do not use unit on its side or where subject
to vibrations (e.g. speakers).
Leave sufficient distance between the TV
and unit.
Do not leave heavy objects on top of unit.
Prevent Unit Malfunction
No parts in this unit are user-serviceable. If
the unit no longer functions, unplug it from
the wall outlet and contact your dealer for
service options.
Never block the vents on the unit. Vents are
used to circulate air and keep the
temperature of the player down. Blocking
the vents may result in damage of the unit.
Dirty, scratched, warped and defective discs
may cause a considerable time delay during the
loading and reading of data. In extreme cases,
such conditions may render the disc completely
unreadable by the player.
Video Signal Formats
This player accommodates both NTSC and PAL
systems, with automatic detection and override
settings.
Digital Audio Formats
This player accommodates stereo, analog and
several high-resolution digital audio signals.
Note: Depending on AUDIO SETUP > SPDIF
settings, digital audio signals may not be output
as they are recorded on the disc.

Before Operation
Notes Regarding Discs
With some DVDs, the player starts playback automatically after inserting the disc, whether or
not PLAYBACK CONTROL is on or off.
The image may be poor, noisy or grainy due to defects on the actual disc, and some functions as
described in this manual may not be possible on all discs.
Maintenance of Discs
Handling
When handling discs, always hold them from their edges and/or by the circle in the center.
NEVER write on the any surface of the disc for it may render the disc unreadable.
Store discs in a clean and dry environment. Storing CDs vertically will also help prevent
warping.
After use, insert CD into jacket or case to minimize wear and tear. DO NOT stack CDs on top of
one another.
Do not bend or press the disc. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or any heat source.
Cleaning
Wipe the discs from time to time using a soft cloth. Always wipe from the center towards the
edges, NOT in circular motions.
DO NOT clean with any other cleaning solution, unless it is specifically made for disc
cleaning.
CDs revolve at very high speeds inside of players. Never attempt to play cracked or warped
CDs, since doing so may cause the disc to shatter or the player to malfunction.
Power Cord
Handle the power cord only by its plug, and do not unplug it by yanking on the cord. Touching the
cord while your hands are wet may lead to an electric shock or a short circuit.
If the cord becomes damaged or its wires become exposed, please replace the cord as soon as
possible in order to prevent an electric fire or shock. Check the power cord every few months to
ensure it is functioning properly.
