this player include component video & S-video outputs, progressive scan
for greater picture clarity.
What's more, as a DVD Video Recorder, it has some of the key features
that allow you to record programs conveniently such as:

inside the tray during diagnostics.
First check and identify the contents of your player package, as listed below:
- DRX-9000

OIGITAL AUrJIQ
If any item should be damaged or missing, please inform your supplier without delay.
Keep the packaging materials as you may need them to transport your player in the future.
WHERE TO PLACE YOUR DVD RECORDER
1. Place the unit on a firm, flat surface.
2. When you place this player near a radio or VCR the playback picture may become poor and/or
distorted. In this situation, move the DVD video player away from the other units.
3. Keep away from direct sunlight & domestic heating equipment.
4. If placed in a cabinet, please allow at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space around the player for
proper ventilation.
TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE
This player is a high-tech, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn
down, the picture quality will become poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and
maintenance (Le. cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating
environment. For details, please contact your nearest dealer.
