GENERAL INFORMATION

Care and handling of
compact discs

English

How to handle CDs

When handling a compact disc, do not touch the surface of the disc
(reflective silver side –– the side without the label).
Since compact discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If
a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the sound will not be
picked up correctly and, in addition, such a disc may cause the CD
player to malfunction.

Care of the label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to, or use any adhesive on
its surface.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled one on
top of another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do
not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight,
or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving
discs in your car!

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or dirt adhering to a disc, wipe it with a soft dry
cloth, moving from the center outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water.
Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.

Which compact discs can be used?

Many types of compact discs are sold for a variety of uses. The player
can play the following compact discs:

• SVCD (Super VCD) discs

*Better video resolution using MPEG2 and VBR

(Variable Bit Rate) technologies.

*Up to four languages can be included as subtitles

or song lyrics.

*Up to four languages can be included as audio.

• Video CD discs both with and without PBC
function

PlayBack

Control

• Audio CD discs

'

Discs you can't play back

Any other discs than listed above (such as CD-ROM, DVD or CD-I
discs) cannot be played. Playing back such discs may generate noise
and damage your speakers.
* Even though a logo listed above is printed on the disc, it may not be

played if it is a non-standard disc.

Using the remote control

The remote control is ready to use when its batteries are installed
properly.
To use it, point its infrared light-emitting window toward the display
window of the player and press a button. The operating range of the
remote control is up to about seven meters in front of the player and
within about 30 degrees to each side –– with nothing between the
remote control and the player interrupting the beam path.
If pressing a button on the remote control does not produce any
response, check to make sure it is pointed correctly and try again. If it
still does not function, check the batteries.

CAUTION

Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled. This is
sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.)
These symptom are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of
the player.

Page 1

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Basic connections

The Video CD player must be connected directly to a television set or,
an amplifier or receiver that is connected to a television or monitor.
Select a level, dry location free of dust and vibration, having a
temperature maintained between 5 and 35°C (41 and 95°F).

Connecting the player to a TV or ampli­fier/receiver using the Audio Video cable

First make the audio and video connections before connecting the AC
power cord. Also, make sure that the equipment (television, amplifier
or receiver) to be connected with the player is turned off.
Firmly insert the yellow pin plug of the Audio Video cable in the yellow
VIDEO OUT jack on the rear panel of the player; the red pin plug in the
red AUDIO OUT FRONT (RIGHT) jack; and the white pin plug in the
white AUDIO OUT FRONT (LEFT) jack. (The RIGHT and LEFT output
jacks are for the right and left audio channels.)
Then firmly insert the pin plugs at the other end of the Audio Video cable
into the matching video and audio INPUT jacks.
If your television set has an S-video input, we recommend you to
connect it with S-VIDEO OUT of the player using the optional S-Video
cable, in addition to the (standard) video connection, to get a better
picture quality.

To input audio jack of

CENTER) to the analog discrete inputs of an amplifier/receiver using
audio cables, while the VIDEO OUT to the television’s video input
terminal using the yellow plugs of the supplied Audio Video cable. Be
sure to connect correctly between corresponding terminals.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Installing batteries

English

Connecting the AV COMPU LINK cable

Connecting the power cord

IMPORTANT

Check the setting of the VOLTAGE SELECTOR switch on the rear
panel of the player.
Change the setting if the switch is not set for the main voltage
supplied to your home.

Putting batteries in the remote control

The battery compartment is located on the back of the remote control.

1. Insert your finger in the recess under the battery compartment
cover, and pull off the cover.

2. Place the two accessory R6P (SUM-3)/AA (15F) batteries in the
remote control according to the polarity markings (“+” and
“–”) inside the compartment and on the batteries.

After the audio-video connectors had been connected, insert the
female end of the power cord firmly into the AC POWER CORD socket
located on the rear panel of the player. Then insert the male end of the
power cord into the wall outlet.
When the power cord is connected and the POWER ON/OFF button
is depressed (ON), the STANDBY indicator on the left-hand side of the
player’s front panel comes on. See “Overview of Controls” for a
description of the controls on the player.

AC power cord

Wall outlet

3. Insert the two tabs of the cover in their respective slots, and
snap the cover in place.

The batteries last about one year with normal use. If function of the
remote control become erratic, replace the batteries.

Precautions for the safe use of batteries

Observe the following precautions for the safe use of batteries. Their
life will be shortened, they may burst or their contents may leak if they
are used improperly.
