plug from the wall outlet, then consult your dealer. Using the
unit in this state may cause a fire or electrical shock.
Avoid high temperatures
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or place it near a
heating device.
Notes on installation
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too
cold between 5°C and 35°C.
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.
• Do not install the unit in a place subject to vibrations.

Connections
Before using the unit, connect the unit to a TV and/or amplifier.
Before making connections
• Do not connect the AC power cord until all other
connections have been made.
• 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

NOTES
• If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to
[OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose
“resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set
[RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume
playback of the disc.
• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted
position has already been stored, the memory will be updated
with the new interrupted position.
• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the unit regards each side
as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a
disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.
• When the unit memorizes an interrupted point for a disc, it also
memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.
• The unit may not resume playback exactly from the intterupted
point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with PBC function,
the unit may resume playback from a point slightly earlier or
later than the point where playback was interrupted.
