Notes on handling
Important cautions
Installation of the unit
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot
nor too cold (between 5˚C and 35˚C, 41˚F and 95˚F).
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.
• Do not use the player in a place subject to vibrations.
Power cord
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
Introduction
• A small amount of power (2 watts) is always
consumed while the power cord is connected to the
wall outlet.
• When unplugging the player from the wall outlet,
always pull the plug, not the power cord.
To prevent malfunction of the unit
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If
anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and
consult your dealer.
• Do not insert any metallic object into the unit.
• Do not use any non-standard shape disc available on
the market, because it may damage the unit.
• Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or paste on it,
because damage to the unit may result.
Note about copyright laws
• Please check the copyright laws in your country
before recording from DVD VIDEO, Audio CD, Video
CD and SVCD discs. Recording of copyrighted
material may infringe copyright laws.
Note about the copyguard system
• The DVD VIDEO disc is protected by the copyguard
system. When you connect the unit to your VCR
directly, the copyguard system activates and the
picture may not be played back correctly.
Safety precautions
Avoid moisture, water and dust
Do not place your player in moist or dusty places.
Avoid high temperatures
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or place it
near a heating device.
When you’re away

Do not block the vents
Blocking the vents may damage the unit.
Care of the cabinet
When cleaning the unit, use a soft cloth and follow the
relevant instructions on the use of chemically-coated
cloths. Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic
solvents and disinfectants. These may cause
deformation or discoloring.
If water gets inside the unit
Turn off the power switch and remove the plug from
the wall outlet, then call the store where you made
your purchase. Using the unit in this state may cause a
fire or electrical shock.

Disc structure
A DVD disc is comprised of “titles,” while an Audio CD, Video CD or SVCD is comprised of “tracks.” Each title may be
divided into some “chapters.” For example, if a DVD disc contains some movies, each movie may have its own title
number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD karaoke disc, each song usually has its own
title number and does not have chapters. In general, each title has independent content, while each chapter in the
same title has continuity.
(Example: DVD disc)
Title 1 Title 2
Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2
(Example: Audio CD/Video CD/SVCD)
