2. The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the fuse in the moulded plug.

3. Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points

in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or adapter, or consult your dealer.

If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

IMPORTANT : The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue : Neutral Brown : Live

Do not connect those leads to the earth terminal of a three-pin plug.

Video Formats

The TV picture display and disc signal systems can be divided roughly into two TV formats (NTSC and PAL). They are variable depending on countries and areas.

This unit reproduces NTSC discs in NTSC format and PAL discs in PAL format. If the video formats of the disc and TV do not match, the disc cannot be reproduced correctly. It is therefore required to select the disc according to the TV set in use (country and area).

TV formats in major countries

NTSC : Japan, Taiwan, Korea, USA, Canada, Mexico,

Philippines, Chile, etc.

PAL : China, U.K., Germany, Australia, New

Zealand, Kuwait, Singapore, etc.

Checking the Video Format

Check the video format of the VCD and DVD discs to be played on the player as described below.

1. Check if the video formats of the TV to be used

and disc to be played match each other. ¶ For details, refer to the instructions provided with

the TV and disc.

2. When the TV is switchable between NTSC and

PAL, set the TV format according to the disc format.

Chapter 1: Connection of Equipment

Connections

This manual describes the standard, most typical connections of the player. When an associated system component is connected, also refer to their instruction manuals.

For details on the connection of the following components, see the indicated reference pages.

Before Start

Do not install the player in a place where the remote control sensor is subjected to direct sunlight or the light of a fluorescent lamp base on high-frequency lighting (inverter system, etc.). Otherwise, the control range of the joystick remote will be reduced.

Do not insert the power cord plugs of the player and the connected components until all of the components have been connected.

Be sure to insert all connection cables securely. If a cable is plugged incompletely, lack of video, lack of audio or noise may result.

Before connecting or disconnecting a connection cord, be sure to unplug the power plug from the wall power outlet. If a connection cable is connected or disconnected while the power plug is left connected, malfunction or equipment damage may result.

When a DVD AUDIO disc is played, the player can output audio signals at very high frequencies. As this may sometimes lead to speaker damage due to a high-volume sound, do not set "Audio Filter" to "Filter 110 kHz" when the speakers in use are not suitable for highfrequency reproduction. ‹

Malfunction of Microcomputer

In case the microcomputer malfunctions, making operations impossible or showing wrong messages on the display even if you connected everything properly. When the microcomputer malfunctions, perform the following procedure to reset the microcomputer and return it to the normal condition.

1. While holding

Connections

Do not insert the power cord plugs of the player and the connected components until all of the components have been connected.

For details on the connection terminals and functions of the TV, refer to its instruction manual.

The video output from the player should be connected directly to the TV. If the video output is connected through a VCR, the picture displayed on the TV may be disturbed due to the copy protect function.

To Connect a TV

Video connection: Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT jack

of the player to the video input of the TV using the provided video cable.

S Video connection: If the TV has an S Video input

connector, connect the S VIDEO OUTPUT con- nector of the player to it using the provided S Video cable.

¶ As S Video separates video signal into the

luminance signal (Y) and color signal (C), it can provide sharper pictures than ordinary video connection.

Component video connection: If the TV has com-

ponent video input jacks, connect the Y, Cb and Cr COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks of the player to the corresponding jacks on the TV using video cables.

¶ As component video separate video signal into

the luminance signal (Y) and color difference signals (Cb, Cr), it can provide sharper image than the S Video connection.

¶ When the TV in use is a HDTV or "Hi-Vision"

TV, connect the component video signals from the player only to the DVD-compatible input jacks.

SCART connection (For Europe and U.K.): If the

TV or VCR has SCART connectors, connect the TV SCART or VCR SCART connector of this unit to the TV or VCR using SCART cables.

¶ The audio and video signals can be output using

a single cable. The signal output from the TV SCART connector can be switched between composite video, S Video and RGB. (The VCR

SCART connector always outputs composite video signals so its output signals cannot be selected.)

¶ When the TV is connected through a VCR using

SCART connection, the picture displayed on the TV may be disturbed due to the copy protect function.

¶ When using only the TV and VCR which are

both connected with the player using the SCART connection, the signal from the VCR cannot be sent to the TV if the player is switched off. (In this case, set the player to the power standby mode.)

Audio connection: Connect the MIX LINE OUTPUT

jacks of the player to the audio input jacks of the TV using the provided audio cables.

To Connect an AV amplifier

6-Channel audio connection: When the connected

AV amplifier has 6-channel audio input jacks, connect the 6CH. OUTPUT jacks of the player to them.

¶ When an amplifier which is not compatible with

6-channel inputs is connected, use the signals from the MIX LINE OUTPUT jacks of the player. The multi-channel surround audio will be downmixed and output. e

Audio connection: Connect the MIX LINE OUTPUT

jacks of the player to the audio input jacks of the AV amplifier using the provided audio cables.

Digital audio connection: Connect the OPTICAL

DIGITAL OUTPUT connector of the player to the

digital audio input connector of the AV amplifier. ¶ Do not bend or bundle the optical fiber cable.

Be sure to attach the protection caps on the optical connectors when they are not used.

¶ It is also possible to perform digital connection

using a commercially available coaxial cable and the COAXIAL DIGITAL OUTPUT jack. In the coaxial digital connection, be sure to use a digital audio cable, not an ordinary audio cable.

Video connection: Connect the VIDEO OUTPUT jack

of the player to the video input jack of the AV amplifier using the provided video cable.

S Video connection: When the connected TV has an

S Video connector, connect the S VIDEO OUTPUT connector of the player to it using the provided S Video cable.
