2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.
4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use this apparatus near water.
6 Clean only with a dry cloth.
7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one
wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and
a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from
tip-over.
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
15 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this
device to rain, moisture, dripping, or splashing, and no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on it.
16 An apparatus with a three-prong, grounding-type plug is a Class I
apparatus, which needs to be grounded to prevent possible
electric shock. Make sure that you connect this Class I device to a
grounding-type, three-prong outlet.
17 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must remain
readily operable.
18 Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire, or the like.
Caution : Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with the same or equivalent type.

produ ct, read this owner’s manual careful ly and retain it for future
reference. Should your player require maintenance, contact qualified
service personnel.
• Making adjustments to controls or performing procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam, do not try to open the
enclosure. Visible laser radiation when open. DO NOT STARE INTO THE

Introduction
To ensure correct use of your player, read this owner’s manual carefully
and retain for future reference.
About the not permitted symbol
The symbol may appear on your TV display during operation and
indicates that the function is not permitted by your player or specific
media.
Notes:
• Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (for example, heart-shaped or
octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions.
• Dependi ng on th e recordin g soft ware and t he fina lizatio n, some
recorded di scs (CD-R/RW or DVD± R/RW) may n ot be pl ayable.
• DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a
personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not play if the disc is
damaged or dirty or if there is dirt or condensation on your player’s
lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in
a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play
because of the settings of the application software used to create the
disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed
information.)
• Your player requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical
standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded
DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many
different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing
MP3 or WMA files), and these require certain pre-existing conditions
(see above) to ensure compatible playback.
• If disc cannot be played, “Unknown Disc” appears on the screen and
“UNdI” appears in the display window on the DVD player.
• You should note that permission is required in order to download
MP3 or WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no
right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought
from the copyright owner.
Regional code
Your player has a regional code (1) printed on the back of the case. Your
player can play only DVDs labeled with the same regional code (1) or
ALL.
Notes:
• Most DVDs have a globe with one or more numbers in it clearly visible
on the cover. This number must match your player’s regional code or
the DVD cannot play.
• If you try to play a DVD with a different regional code from your
player, the message “Check Regional Code” appears on the TV screen.

2. All electrical and electronic products should be
disposed of separately from the municipal waste
stream via designated collection facilities
appointed by the government or the local
authorities.
3. The correct disposal of your old appliance will
help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and
human health.

Other considerations
Notes:
• The top and rear panels of your player may become warm after a
long period of use. This is not a malfunction.
• When your player is not in use, make sure that you remove the disc
and turn off the power.
• If you do not use your player for an extended period, it may not
function correctly. Turn on your player and use it occasionally.
• Do not place foreign objects in the disc tray.
• If you place your player near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback picture
may become poor and the sound may be distor ted. In that case, place
the player away from the TV, radio, or VCR.
• If the pickup on your player has moisture condensation, the player
may not operate correctly. If this is the case, remove the disc and
leave it on for two or three hours. That will allow the player to warm
up and evaporate any moisture. If you leave the player plugged in,
moisture condensation will seldom occur.
