9. To Obtain a Clear Picture

The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

10. Notes on Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please read the following carefully.

• What is moisture condensation?

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside the unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.

• Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.

– When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a

warm place.

– When you use the unit in a room where you just turned on

the heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

– In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid place

just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.

– When you use the unit in a humid place.

• Do not use the unit when moisture condensation may occur.

If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the power cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the unit will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

Operating Components not Reached by the Remote Controller Signals (IR IN/OUT)

In order to use the remote controller to control the DPS-8.3 from a remote location, you will need to prepare a multi-room kit (sold separately such as one of those given below:

• Integra’s Multi-Room System kit (IR Remote Controller Extension System).

• Multiroom A/V distribution and control system such as those from Niles® and Xantech®.

If the remote controller signal does not reach the DPS-8.3 remote sensor

If the DPS-8.3 is located inside a cabinet or other enclosure where the infrared rays from the remote controller cannot enter, then operation with the remote controller will not be possible. In such a case, it will be necessary to install a remote sensor at a location outside of the cabinet for the infrared rays from the controller to reach.

Press Power to switch on the main power.

The DVD Player enters standby mode. The STANDBY indicator lights up.

• The buttons on the remote controller do not operate if the Power switch is set to Off.

• To switch off the main power, press Power again.

Press Standby/On on the DVD Player or On on the remote controller.

The DVD Player turns on and the Standby indicator turns off.

• To put the DVD Player in the standby mode, press Standby/On on the DVD Player, or Standby on the remote controller. Be sure to set the volume to minimum before putting the DVD Player in the standby mode for the next use to avoid sudden loud sound reproduction.

• While the Standby indicator lights up, the DVD Player can receive signals from the remote controller. However, if you press Power on the DVD Player to switch off the main power, the remote controller cannot be used to turn on the DVD Player.

• Setting the Standby button to standby does not shut off the power completely.

■ Setting the TV System (Australian model only)

The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO. If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region’s system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).

The TV system changes as follows: AUTO = NTSC NTSC = PAL PAL = AUTO Note that you have to switch the player into standby before each change.

About MOD. (Modulation) PAL

• SHRINK Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage.

• If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC = PAL conversion.
