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

this type of video connection will produce the ideal
picture quality for the presentation of DVD-Video. Using a
component video cable (sold separately), connect the
VIDEO OUTPUT COMPONENT CH1 or CH2 jacks to the
corresponding component video input jacks on the TV.
Some TVs and monitors use BNC jacks for the component
video input. When this is the case, make connections to
the VIDEO OUTPUT COMPONENT BNC jacks using a
component video cable that has BNC plugs. Actual
labels for component video inputs may vary depending
on the TV manufacturer. (e.g. Y, R-Y, B-Y or Y, C
B, CR)
In some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the playback
picture may be reduced slightly or the tint may change.
In such a case, adjust the TV or monitor for optimum
performance.
Be sure to set Audio Out Select to “Analog 2Ch” using the
on-screen menu explained in “Customizing the Function
Settings” starting on page 46. See page 50 for direct
information.
PROGRESSIVE outputs

video inputs that are capable of reproducing a
progressively scanned video signal. Connecting to these
inputs allows you to view the highest quality pictures with
less flicker.
Interlaced outputs
Some TVs or monitors are equipped with component

Coaxial, only Standby/On on the front panel of the DVD Player
(or ON/STNBY on the remote controller) and DIMMER on the
remote controller can be used. All functions of the DVD Player
related to disc playback are disabled.
The audio sampling rate indicator on the front panel does not
light.
The remote control confirmation beep does not sound.
•When the position of the Source input selector is changed,
there may be a moment of silence before sound is produced.
This is not a malfunction.
•If a Dolby Digital or DTS digital signal is input during playback
of the selected source component, the signal can be
subsequently output without processing to an amp or other
component with decoding capabilities. When this is the case,
the sampling rate of the digital signal is not displayed.
•The DVD Player does not feature the ability to decode Dolby
Digital or DTS digital audio signals input from externally
connected components, and therefore no audio will not be
output from the discreet 5.1-channel ANALOG OUTPUT.
•When a linear PCM audio signal is input from a connected
component, the sampling rate is displayed.
•Please note that if the digital audio signal of a DTS CD or DTS
LD is input from a connected component, a loud noise will be
output from the ANALOG OUTPUT jacks.
