stops, excessive force,
and uneven surfaces may
cause the product and cart
combination to overturn.

10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to
protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such

not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your
product dealer or local power company. For products intended
to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions.

12. Grounding or Polarization – This product 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 are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.

13. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed
so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the product.

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to 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. See Figure A.

16. Lightning – For added protection for this product 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 product due to lightning and power-line surges.

17. 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, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or

Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.

21.

Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel
under the following conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions as an improper

adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will

often require extensive work by a qualified technician to

restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance

– this indicates a need for service.

22. 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.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING DISCS

Discs

Only the discs including the marks shown on page 7 can be
played on the DN-V200/DN-V300.
Note, however, that discs with special shapes (heart-shaped
discs, hexagonal discs, etc.) cannot be played on the DN­V200/DN-V300. Do not attempt to play such discs, as they may
damage the player.

Cautions on Handling Discs

• Do not get fingerprints, grease or dirt on discs.

• Be especially careful not to scratch discs when removing them
from their cases.

• Do not bend discs.

• Do not heat discs.

• Do not enlarge the center hole.

• Do not write on the labeled (printed) side with a ball-point pen
or a pencil.

• Water droplets may form on the surface if the disc is moved
suddenly from a cold place to a warm one. Do not use a
hairdryer, etc., to dry the disc.

Cautions on Storing Discs

• Always eject discs after playing them.

• Keep discs in their cases to protect them from dust, scratches
and warping.

• Do not put discs in the following places:

1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time

2. Humid or dusty places

3. Places exposed to heat from heaters, etc.

Cautions on Loading Discs

• Only load one disc at a time. Loading one disc on top of another
may result in damage or scratch the discs.

• Load 8 cm discs securely in the disc guide, without using an
adapter. If the disc is not properly loaded, it may slip out of the
guide and block the disc tray.

• Be careful not to let your fingers get caught when the disc tray
is closing.

• Do not place anything but discs in the disc tray.

• Do not load cracked or warped discs or discs that have been
fixed with adhesive, etc.

• Do not use discs on which the adhesive part of cellophane tape
or glue used to attach the label is exposed, or discs with traces
of tape or labels that have been peeled off. Such discs may get
stuck inside the player, resulting in damage.

Holding Discs

Avoid touching the surface of discs when loading and unloading
them.

Cleaning Discs

2

Fingerprints or dirt on the disc may lower sound and picture
quality or cause breaks in playback. Wipe off fingerprints or dirt.

2

Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth to
wipe off fingerprints or dirt.

Be careful not to get
fingerprints on the signal
surface (the side which
shines in rainbow colors).

Wipe gently from the middle
outwards.

Do not wipe with a circular
motion.

NOTE:

• Do not use record spray or antistatic. Also do not use
volatile chemicals such as benzene or thinner.

Line up in proper direction

Remove the dust cap, line up the cable in the proper directly, then insert it securely as far as it goes.

NOTE:

• Harsh noise that could harm your ears or damage the speakers is generated when a DVD recorded in DTS is played while using
a decoder, etc., that is not DTS-compatible.

(3) Connecting to a AV amplifier with a Built-in decoder

When DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS are played, Dolby Digital or DTS bitstream signals are output from the DVD player’s digital
audio output connectors. If a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder is connected, you can achieve sound with the power and sense of presence
of a movie theater or concert hall.

2 Sound output from the DN-V200/DN-V300’s digital audio output connectors

In the case of bit stream output

*1 Only 48 kHz/16 bit sources are output.
*2 When playing copyright-protected linear PCM DVDs, in consideration of copyrights, no digital signals are output for sources exceeding

48 kHz/16 bits. When playing such sources, either set to “96k>48k” or make analog connections.

• Linear PCM audio is a signal recording format used for music CDs.
While signals are recorded at 44.1 kHz/16 bit for music CDs, for DVDs they are recorded at 48 kHz/16 bit to 96kHz/24 bit, providing
higher sound quality than music CDs.

REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

2 The DN-V200/DN-V300 can be controlled from a distance using the included remote control unit (RC-963).

(1) Inserting Batteries

q Remove the remote control unit’s rear cover.

w Place two R03/AAA batteries in the battery compartment in

the direction indicated by the marks.

e Close the rear cover.

Cautions On Batteries

• Use R03/AAA batteries in this remote control unit.

• Replace the batteries with new ones approximately once a
year, though this depends on the frequency with which the
remote control unit is used.

• If the remote control unit does not operate from close to the
main unit, replace the batteries with new ones, even if less
than a year has passed.

• The included battery is only for verifying operation.
Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.

• When inserting the batteries, be careful to do so in the
proper direction, following the <and >marks in the remote
control unit’s battery compartment.

• To prevent damage or battery fluid leakage:

• Do not use a new battery with an old one.

• Do not use two different types of batteries.

• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries

in flames.

• Remove the batteries when not planning to use the remote
control unit for a long period of time.

• If the batteries should leak, carefully wipe off the fluid from
the inside of the battery compartment, then insert new
batteries.

(2) Using the Remote Control Unit

• When operating the remote control unit, point it at the
remote control sensor as shown on the diagram.

• The remote control unit can be used from a direct
distance of approximately 7 meters. This distance will be
shorter, however, if there are obstacles in the way or if
the remote control unit is not pointed directly at the
remote control sensor.

• The remote control unit can be operated at a horizontal
angle of up to 30° with respect to the remote control
sensor.

NOTES:

• It may be difficult to operate the remote control unit if
the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight
or strong artificial light.

• Do not press buttons on the main unit and on the
remote control unit at the same time. Doing so will
result in malfunction.

When “96k LPCM OUT” is selected:
Press the ENTER button several times and select the conversion
mode.

96k (Factory default)

When playing linear PCM DVDs that are not copyright-protected, for
2-channel PCM audio signals up to 96 kHz, linear PCM signals are
output as such without being converted from the digital outputs.
PCM signals of 48 kHz/16 bits and lower are output, regardless of
whether they are copyright-protected or not.
For DVDs containing multi-channel PCM signals, the digital signals
are down-mixed for output into two channels, front left and right.
(Only the front left and right channels are output for sources for
which down-mixing is prohibited.)
When playing copyright-protected linear PCM DVDs, in consideration
of copyrights, no digital signals are output for sources exceeding 48
kHz/16 bits. When playing such sources, either set to “96k>48k” or
make analog connections (see page 14).

96k>48k

Linear PCM and packed PCM signals are converted to 44.1 kHz or
48 kHz and output. (The PCM digital audio output signals are
converted to 48 kHz or less in consideration of copyrights.) When
making digital connections to an AV amplifier that is not compatible
with 96 kHz/88.2 kHz signals, set to “96k>48k”.
When playing DVDs recorded in linear PCM or packed PCM and the
unit is set to output digital and analog audio signals simultaneously,
the analog audio output signals are also converted to 48 kHz or
below, so we recommend setting to “96k” and also making analog
connections.
