Precautions

Installation

• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat buildup in the System.

DO NOT install the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold—between 5°C and 35°C.

• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with the TV.

Power sources

• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the System in the following cases:

• After starting to heat the room

• In a damp room

• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.

Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Internal heat

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the unit.

•A cooling fan is inside the System (except for CA-MXDK1 and CA-MXDK15) to prevent heat buildup.

DO NOT block the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.

DO NOT disassemble the System since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

Additional Information

Learning More about This System

Introduction

Playable Disc Types:

• If you play back an NTSC disc with the scan mode set to “PAL (PRG),” you can watch the playback picture (the disc will be reproduced using “PAL 60” format), but the TV screen may not display properly.

• If you play back a PAL disc with the scan mode set to “NTSC (PRG),” you can watch the playback picture, but the following symptoms may occur: – The items on the disc menu will be blurred, and be shown

slightly shifted when highlighted.

– The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the

original aspect ratio.

– The picture movement is not smooth.

• About audio format

Linear PCM:

–

format used for CDs and most studio masters.

–

Dolby Digital:

Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode to create the realistic surround sound.

–

DTS (Digital Theater Systems):

audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it provides wider dynamic range and better separation.

–

MLP:

compression of DVD Audio.

Connections

Changing the Color System and Scanning Mode:

• Do not change to progressive scanning mode in the following cases: – When your TV does not support the progressive video

input.

– When you have not connected your TV to the unit using

a component video cord.

• When you play back an NTSC disc in progressive scanning mode, the System outputs the NTSC signal regardless of color system settings.

Daily Operations—Playback

Listening to the Radio:

• If you store a new station into an occupied preset number, the previously stored station in that number will be erased.

• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If this happens, preset the stations again.

Playing Back a Disc:

• On some DVD, SVCD, or VCD discs, the actual operations may be different from what is explained in this manual, due to the programming and disc structure; such differences are not a malfunction of this System.

• Use a head demagnetizer (available at electronics and audio shops) to demagnetize the heads (when the System is turned off).

Cleaning the System

• Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the following: – DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth. – DO NOT wipe it forcefully. – DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine. – DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as

insecticides to it.

– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact

for a long time.
