WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE T O RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

“CAUTION:TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED

SERVICE PERSONNEL.”

Explanation of Graphical Symbols:

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

PRECAUTIONS

Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions for future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well as the safety suggestions below.

Installation

1 Water and Moisture - Do not use this unit near water , such as

near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.

2 Heat - Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including

heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5˚C (41˚F) or greater than 35˚C (95˚F ).

3 Mounting surface - Place the unit on a flat, even surface. 4 Ventilation - The unit should be situated with adequate space

around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from each side.

- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings.

- Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack where ventilation may be impeded.

5 Objects and liquid entry - Take care that objects or liquids do

not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.

6 Carts and stands - When placed or

mounted on a stand or cart, the unit should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surf aces may cause the unit and cart to overturn or fall.

7 Condensation - Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens

when:

- The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot

- The heating system has just been turned on

- The unit is used in a very humid room

- The unit is cooled by an air conditioner

When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours, then try to operate again.

8 Wall or ceiling mounting - The unit should not be mounted

on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating Instructions.

ENGLISH

Electric Power

1 Power Sources - Connect this unit only to power sources

specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the unit.

2 Polarization - As a safety feature, some units are equipped

with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and tr y again. If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please call a qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet.

3 AC power cord

- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out b y the A C power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.

- Never handle the A C power plug with wet hands, as this could result in fire or shock.

- Power cords should be routed to avoid being severely bent, pinched, or walked upon. P a y particular attention to the cord from the unit to the power socket.

- Avoid overloading AC outlets and extension cords beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.

4 Extension cord - To help pre vent electric shock, do not use a

polarized AC power plug with an e xtension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.

5 When not in use - Unplug the AC power cord from the AC

outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned off.

Outdoor Antenna

1 Power lines - When connecting an outdoor antenna, make sure

it is located away from power lines.

2 Outdoor antenna grounding - Be sure the antenna system is

properly grounded to provide protection against unexpected voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information on proper grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the size of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals, and requirements for grounding terminals.

Precautions on the built-in monitor

• In general, any TFT screen is prone to burn-up (dark spots* become visible in bright pictures) if it is subject to very bright (high intensity) pictures or characters for extended periods of time. Hence, it is recommended not to use the unit with a high brightness setting or with CDs with very bright pictures, for extended periods of time. This may cause damage to the TFT. For the same reason, it is also recommended when playing audio CDs, for extended periods of time, to keep the TFT off. * A small number of bright or dark dots may appear on the monitor

screen. This is common in Active Matrix display technology and is not an indication of malfunction or defect.

• Do not hit or scratch the monitor screen with pointed tips.

Maintenance

Clean the unit only as recommended in the Operating Instructions.

Damage Requiring Service

Have the unit serviced by a qualified service technician if:

- The AC power cord or plug has been damaged

- Foreign objects or liquid have gotten inside the unit

- The unit has been exposed to rain or water

- The unit does not seem to operate normally

- The unit exhibits a marked change in performance

- The unit has been dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THE UNIT YOURSELF.

OPERATIONS

The descriptions in this section apply to both DVDs and video CDs unless otherwise noted.

DISC-RELA TED TERMS

Title (DVD only)

A title is the longest section of a picture or a musical piece on a DVD; a movie for a picture piece on video software, or an album for a musical piece on audio software. Each title is assigned a title number enabling you to locate the title you want.

Chapter (DVD only)

Chapters are sections of a picture or a musical piece that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a chapter number, enabling you to locate the chapter you want. Depending on the disc, there may be no chapters recorded.

Track (audio CD and VCD only)

Tracks are sections of a picture or a musical piece on a video CD or an audio CD. Each track is assigned a track number, enabling you to locate the track you want.

Scene

On a video CD with PBC (PlayBack Control) functions, moving pictures and still pictures are divided into sections called "Scenes". Each scene is displayed in the menu screen and assigned a scene number, enabling you to locate the scene you want. A scene is composed of one or several tracks.

TYPES OF VIDEO CDS

There are two types of video CDs.

Video CDs equipped with PBC (Version 2.0)

PBC (PlayBack Control) allo ws you to interact with the system via menus, search functions or other typical computer-like operations. Still pictures of high resolution can also be played, if they are included in the disc.

Video CDs not equipped with PBC (Version 1.1)

Operated in the same way as audio CDs, these discs allo w you to play video pictures as well as sound, but they are not equipped with PBC.

In some cases, you may want to play VCDs equipped with PBC with the PBC feature off. This is because some disc playing features can only be used for VCDs without PBC. See "PLAYING A VCD WITHOUT USING PLAYBACK CONTROL", page 20.
