• Ages of 5–6 or over are recommended for viewing stereoscopic 3D images. Symptoms such as fatigue and discomfort are difficult to determine in young children, therefore they may suddenly become ill. When viewing 3D images with children, please watch for eye strain symptoms.

• When viewing stereoscopic 3D images, take a moderate break after watching one title. Viewing for extended periods may cause visual strain.

Precautions when cleaning this product

• Turn off the main power and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet before handling.

• To clean the outer cabinet, periodically wipe it with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.).

• For severe dirt, soak a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) in some neutral detergent diluted with water, wring the cloth out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.

About Media Types

The following BD-RE/R, DVD-RW/R and DVD+RW/R discs cannot be played.

• Discs on which data has not been recorded cannot be played back.

• Kenwood cannot guarantee playback compatibility for all self-recorded BD-discs because Blu-ray is a new and evolving format. The playback compatibility will be affected by your choice of BD-recorder, BD-disc and BD-burning software. Please always ensure you are using the latest software versions on all units and contact the individual manufacturers for further help if required. To avoid inconveniences, please check the playback compatibility of your self-recorded disc before you purchase this BD-player. For maximum playback compatibility of self-recorded BD-discs Kenwood recommends that the BDMV/BDAV standards are used. If a playback issue occurs after purchase, please download the latest software version for your BD-player from the Kenwood internet page or ask your Kenwood-Dealer. This BD-player uses the latest technology available at the time of development and cannot guarantee support for future enhancements or changes to the standard.

Other files that cannot be played back.

• You may not be able to play some still images which you have created, touched up, copied or otherwise edited on your computer.

• You may not be able to play some still images you have processed (rotated or saved by overwriting other images you have imported from the Internet or e-mail).

You may experience one or more of the following symptoms when playing files.

• It may take some time to play files depending on the number of folders, number of files and volume of data involved.

• EXIF information will not be displayed. EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for storing interchange information in image files, especially those using JPEG compression. (Refer to http://exif.org for more information.)

About the MP3 file format

MP3 files are audio data compressed in the MPEG1/2 Audio layer-3 file format. “MP3 files” have “.mp3” as extensions. (Some files that have “.mp3” extensions or files that have not been recorded in MP3 format will produce noise or cannot be played.)

Playing the MP3 file format

• The MP3 files are not played in the order they were recorded.

• It is recommended to record data at a lower speed as data recorded at a fast speed can produce noise and may not be able to be played.

• The more folders there are, the longer the reading time.

• Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can take time.

• The playing time may not be correctly displayed during MP3 file playback.

The following files cannot be played on this player.

• When both Audio CD [CD-DA] format and JPEG/MP3 file formats are recorded on a disc. (The disc is recognised to be an Audio CD [CD-DA] only tracks in Audio CD [CD-DA] format are played back.)

Important Information

Disc Precautions

Be Careful of Scratches and Dust

• BD, DVD and CD discs are sensitive to dust, fingerprints and especially scratches. A scratched disc may not be able to be played back. Handle discs with care and store them in a safe place.

Proper Disc Storage

Place the disc in the centre of the disc case and store the case and disc upright.

Avoid storing discs in locations subject to direct sunlight, close to heating appliances or in locations of high humidity.

Do not drop discs or subject them to strong vibrations or impacts.

Avoid storing discs in locations where there are large amounts of dust or moisture.

Handling Precautions

• If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the centre hole toward the outer edge.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

• Do not touch the surface.

• Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc.

• If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the Player may decide that the disc is incompatible and eject the disc, or it may fail to play the disc correctly. Wipe any dirt off the playing surface with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the Pick Up Lens

• Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The use of these discs can damage the lens.

Warnings about dew formation

• Condensation may form on pick up lens or disc in the following conditions:

− Immediately after a heater has been turned on.

− In a steamy or very humid room.

− When the Player is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a warm one.

When condensation forms:

• It becomes difficult for the Player to read the signals

on the disc and prevents the Player from operating properly.

To remove condensation:

• Take out the disc and leave the Player with the power

off until the condensation disappears. Using the Player when there is condensation may cause malfunction.

A DVD+/-RW is a recordable and rewritable DVD. The re-recordable feature makes editing possible. The DVD+/-RW has two different formats: VR format and Video format. DVDs created in Video format have the same format as a DVD video, while discs created in VR (Video Recording) format allow the contents to be programmed or edited.

HDMI (page 17)

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an interface that supports both video and audio on a single digital connection. The HDMI connection carries standard to high definition video signals and multi-channel audio signals to AV components such as HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without degradation.

Interlace format

Interlace format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard method for displaying images on television. The even numbered field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image.

JPEG (pages 8, 9, 10, 30)

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a still image data compression format and is used in most of digital cameras.

Letter Box (LB 4:3) (page 37)

A screen size with black bars on the top and bottom of the image to allow viewing of wide-screen (16:9) material on a connected 4:3 TV.

Linear PCM Sound

MP3 (pages 8, 9, 10, 29)

MP3 files are audio data compressed in the MPEG1/2 Audio layer-3 file format. “MP3 files” have “.mp3” as extensions.

MPEG-2

MPEG-2 (Moving Picture Experts Group phase 2) is one of the video data compression schemes, which is adopted for DVD videos and digital broadcasts worldwide. Some Blu-ray Discs also use high bitrate MPEG-2.

Multi Angle (pages 33–35)

This is a feature of DVD and BD video discs. In some discs, the same scene is shot from different angles, and these are stored in a single disc so you can enjoy playback from each angle. (This function can be enjoyed if the disc is recorded with multiple angles.)

Multi Audio

This is a feature of DVD and BD video discs. This function makes it possible to record different audio tracks for the same video, so you can enhance your enjoyment by switching the audio. (You can enjoy this function with discs recorded with multiple audio tracks.)

Pan Scan (PS 4:3) (page 37)

A screen size that cuts off the sides of the image to allow viewing of wide-screen (16:9) material on a connected 4:3 TV.

Parental control (page 38)

In some digital broadcasts and BD/DVD video discs, a control level for disc viewing is set depending on the age of the viewer. With this Player, you can set the control level for viewing such broadcasts and discs.

Pop-up menu (page 25)

An enhanced menu operation available on BD video discs. The pop-up menu appears when POP-UP MENU is pressed during playback, and can be operated while playback is in progress.

Progressive format

Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This means that while the Interlace format can show 30 frames/60 fields in one second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper.
