• If the remote control unit does not operate from close to the main unit, replace the batteries with new ones, even if less then 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.

CONNECTIONS

The following show examples of connections commonly used to connect the DVD player to a TV and other components. If using this DVD player to play back a DVD in the 5.1 channel Dolby Digital surround or DTS surround format, the DVD player outputs a Dolby Digital or DTS data stream from its OPTICAL or COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks. 5.1 channel Dolby Digital Surround sound and DTS sound can also be output from the 5.1 CH OUTPUT jacks. By connecting the player to a Dolby Digital or DTS decoder, you can enjoy a more convincing, realistic ambience with powerful and high-quality surround sound of a professional standard, similar to that experienced cinemas. Use a coaxial or optical digital audio cable (not included) for the audio connections. Use audio cables (commercially available) for the 5.1 CH audio connection.

Notes

¡Be sure to switch off the power to all components in the system before connecting another component. ¡Refer to the Instruction Manuals for your TV, stereo system and any other components to be connected to the

DVD player.

NOTES

• Connect the DVD player directly to a TV. If the A/V cables are connected to a VCR, pictures may be distorted due to the copy protection system.

• S-Video output connector The video signals are divided into color (C) and brightness (Y) signals, achieving a clearer picture. If the TV is equipped with a S-Video input connector, we recommend connecting it to the this product’s S-Video output connector using a commercially available S-Video connection cord.

• DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD sound is not output from the 2ch AUDIO OUT jacks and AV1 jacks.

HOW TO CONNECT TO A TV WITHOUT AUDIO/VIDEO INPUT JACKS

If your TV does not have RCA type audio and video input jacks it is still possible to connect this DVD player to your TV’s 75-ohm coaxial antenna terminal using an optional Stereo Audio/Video RF Modulator, not included. Connect the audio and video outputs of the DVD player to the audio and video inputs on the RF Modulator, and then connect the coaxial output of the RF Modulator (usually marked “TO TV”) to the 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal on your TV. Follow the instruction supplied with the RF Modulator for more details. If your TV’s 75 ohm coaxial antenna terminal is already occupied by an antenna or cable box connection, remove that cable from your TV’s antenna terminal and reconnect it to the coaxial antenna input terminal of the RF Modulator (usually marked “ANT IN”), then connect the RF modulator to your TV’s antenna terminal as described above.

NOTE

• The picture quality from DVD discs will not be as good if the DVD player is connected to the TV’s antenna terminal through an RF Modulator.

Information about MP3, JPEG and WMA discs

• A file with an extension of “.mp3 (MP3)” is called an “MP3 file”.

• A file with an extension of “.jpg (JPG)” or “.jpeg (JPEG)” is

called a “JPEG file”. The DVD player can reproduce an image file conforming to the Exif* specification.

* The Exchangeable Image File format has been estab-

lished by the Japanese Electronic Industry Development Association (JEIDA).

• A file with an extension of “.wma (WMA)” is called a “WMA file”.

• Files whose extension is another one than “.mp3 (MP3)”, “.jpg (JPG)”, “.jpeg (JPEG)” or “.wma (WMA)” will not be listed in the MP3, JPEG, or WMA menu.

• If the file is not recorded in the MP3, JPEG or WMA format, noise may be produced even if the file extension is “.mp3 (MP3)”, “.jpg (JPG)”, “.jpeg (JPEG)” or “.wma (WMA)”.

When a disc with MP3,JPEG or WMA files is inserted in the DVD player, the track menu will appear on the TV screen, and number of tracks is displayed on the front panel.

Place the disc in the tray with the label facing up.

For discs on which MP3, JPEG or WMA tracks are recorded:
