Caring for Optical Discs
Handling of Discs:
Please hold the disc by gripping the rim or by placing the index finger in the central hole. Never touch the signal surface, which is shiny. This applies to both sides of double sided discs.
Cleaning of Discs:
Finger prints or stains on the surface of the disc may cause signal loss. Depending on the degree of the stain, the reflected luminosity from the signal surface may be weakened, resulting in degraded picture quality. Therefore, please use a soft cloth and wipe in a radiating manner from the center of the disc to the outer rims when cleaning the disc surface.
Labeling Side
Surface
Labels
If the surface of your disc is very dirty, please wipe the disc with a moist cloth, followed by a dry soft cloth to remove all water stains.
Never use electrostatic prevention products or solutions which contain
Tapes
benzene, thinner or any other vaporizing substances, as they may damage the disc surface.
Never add labels or adhesive tapes on the discs and be careful not to scratch or damage the disc surface.
Storage of Discs:
To prevent discs from becoming bent or deformed, they should be vertically kept in the disc storage case. To prevent damage, avoid leaving discs in your car, where they may be subject to direct sunlight and high temperature.
Please thoroughly read the "Instruction Points for Attention" on the discs.
Cleaning the DVD Player:
The control panel and the case of the player will only require occasional wiping with a soft cloth. Areas with stubborn stains can be cleaned with a soft cloth dipped in a neutral detergent. To prevent damaging the player, never use vaporizing solutions.
Disc Accessories:
Do not use any disc accessory to improve the audio quality, disc protective solutions or lens cleaner. These products may cause problems.

Preparing and Using the Remote Control
Installing the Batteries
If the remote control only operates when you get closer to the DVD Player, it may mean the battery is weak. Please replace the battery (Lithium battery) simultaneously with new battery (CR2025) of the same type. Please note the positive (+) side is facing upwards on the remote.
1. Pull out the battery holder to remove the battery compartment.
2. Insert new Battery into the battery holder. Make sure that positive (+) side is facing upwards.
3. Put the battery holder back on the remote.

Connecting the DVD Player to your TV / Receiver
Determining the Video & Audio Connections You Will Use
The first step to using your new DVD Player is to make the cable connections that will allow you to see the video and hear the audio on your TV and optional Stereo or Digital Receiver. Your DVD Player has multiple Video and Audio outputs. Generally, you will only use one Video and one Audio output and any one time. The type of outputs you use will be determined by the capabilities of your Television or receiver. It is recommended that you use the highest quality output that your TV or receiver will support.
Television Connections (One Required)
In order to use your DVD Player, your TV must support at least one of the Video Input types shown below. To get started, identify the best Video Connection shown below that your TV offers and proceed to that section. If you are using your TV’s speakers for audio, rather than a separate receiver or amplifier, you will use the Stereo Audio In, outlined in sections 1 and 2.

1 Typical Connection - Connecting to a TV with Composite Video In and Stereo Audio In
If your TV has only a single Video Input jack, typically a yellow-colored plug, you will use the Composite Video output of the DVD Player for the Video Connection. We’ll also assume your TV has Red and White Stereo Audio In connectors. You will use these for the Audio Connection.
ŸUse the included Video Cable (Yellow) to connect the Video Out of the DVD Player to the Video In of your TV.
ŸConnect the Stereo Audio outputs (Red-Red, White-White) of the DVD Player to the matching Inputs of your TV.
ŸConnect the Power Cord to the DVD Player and AC Power Outlet.
ŸTurn on the TV and DVD Player (power switch on back & Standby/On) and select the Video Input on your TV. On some models, this may be called “Input 1” or “Aux In”. You should now see the DVD Player’s splash screen on

2 Connecting to a TV with S-Video In and Stereo Audio In
If your TV has an S-Video Input, it’s recommended that you use this connection. S-Video separates brightness and color signals, resulting in higher video quality than Standard Composite Video. *You must purchase a separate S-Video Cable for this connection (not included).
ŸIn order to activate the S-VIDEO Output, you must first connect the unit using the COMPOSITE Video Output as described in Section 1.
ŸEnter the SETUPVIDEO Menu and change the VIDEO OUTPUT setting to S_VIDEO (See Page 28). *For Help on using the SETUP MENU’s, see Page 27.
ŸNow that the S-VIDEO Output is Active, connect the S-Video Out from the DVD Player to the S-Video In of your TV and disconnect the COMPOSITE Cable.
ŸIf you are not using a separate receiver for audio, connect the Stereo Audio outputs (Red - Red, White - White) of the DVD Player to the corresponding Inputs of your TV
ŸSelect the S-Video Input on your TV. On some models, this may be called “Input 2” or “Video 2”. You should now see the DVD Player’s splash screen on your TV.

YUV - Progressive Scan and Component Video Connections
Warning: If you selected Progressive SCAN and your TV does not support P-SCAN, the display may go blank and you will not be able to view the Setup Menu to change back the video settings. If this happens, Turn OFF (Standby) the player, Turn back ON Player, Open Disc Tray and Press and hold the STOP button on player for 5 Seconds.
3 Connecting to a TV with YUV - Progressive Scan / Component Video Inputs
In order to enjoy the highest Video Quality available from your DVD Player, you must use a TV equipped with YUV Progressive Scan or Component Video Inputs. If your TV supports YUV Video, it’s recommended that you use this connection. Progressive Scan / Component Video separates the Video Signal into three separate “components”, resulting in a higher quality picture than S-Video or Standard Composite Video. *You must purchase a set of three (3) Component Video Cables for this connection (not included).
Note : Progressive Scan = Y - Pb - Pr and Component Video = Y - Cb - Cr
ŸIn order to activate the YUV VIDEO Output, you must first connect the unit using the COMPOSITE Video Output as described in Section 1.
ŸEnter the SETUPVIDEO Menu and change the VIDEO OUTPUT setting to YCbCr (See Page 28). *For Help on using the SETUP MENU’s, see Page 27.
ŸSelect SCAN MODEsettings for Interlanced for Component Video and Progressive for Progressive Scan (note: warning on top of page)
ŸNow that the COMPONENT Outputs are Active, connect the COMPONENT VIDEO Outputs from the DVD Player to the inputs on your TV and disconnect the COMPOSITE Cable.
ŸSelect the Video Input Channel on your TV that corresponds to the COMPONENT Video Inputs. On some models, this may be called “Input 3” or “Video 3”. You should now see the DVD Player’s splash screen on your TV.
