Disc structure
A DVD VIDEO 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 VIDEO disc contains some movies, each movie may
have its own title number, and each movie may be divided into some chapters. In a DVD VIDEO 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.

(supplied)
Connect the unit to a TV equipped with stereo audio input and video input jacks using the supplied audio/video
cables.
• If your TV has a monaural audio input instead of stereo, you need to use an optional audio cable which converts
stereo audio output to monaural.
• If your TV has an S-video input, you should connect it with the S-VIDEO output of the unit using the supplied S-
video cable in addition to the (standard) video connection to get better picture quality.
Set the ATTENUATOR switch to OFF normally. If you hear audio sound distorted because the sensitivity of the audio
input of your TV is too high, set the switch to ON.
The unit is compatible with the PAL and NTSC color systems. Set the VIDEO OUT SELECT switch on the rear panel to
match the color system of your TV. Make sure that the color system of the DVD/Video CD/SVCD disc labeled on the
package matches your TV.
If you use a multi-system TV, you can play discs recorded on both PAL and NTSC systems.
NOTE
• Connect VIDEO OUT of the unit directly to the video input of your TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT of the unit to a TV via a VCR may
cause a monitor problem when playing back a copy-protected disc.

To connect to audio equipment with a digital input
You can enhance the sound quality by connecting the unit’s DIGITAL OUT to the digital input of an amplifier, DAT or
MD by using an optional digital cable. The digital audio signal from a disc is directly transferred. If you connect the
unit to a Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG Multichannel decoder or an amplifier with a built-in decoder by using an
optional digital cable, you can enjoy high-quality surround sound.
When you make the digital connection, also make the analog connection, because, depending on the disc type, no
audio may be reproduced from the DIGITAL OUT.
When using the DIGITAL OUT
(OPTICAL) jack, remove the protection
cap. Do not lose the removed cap.
When the jack is not used, fix the
protection cap into the jack.

simultaneously, be sure to select the source of the
amplifier correctly, or set the level control of the amplifier
connected to the analog outputs to minimum.

Care and handling of discs
How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If
a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may
cause the player to malfunction.
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 on top of one 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 other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe 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 antistatic agents.
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 symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.
