Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged
or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions
could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of
your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord
replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as
being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay
particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the
cord exits the appliance.
To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the mains cord plug.
When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible.

AUDIO
Each DVD disc has a variety of audio output options. Set the
player’s AUDIO options according to the type of audio system you
use.
Dolby Digital / DTS / MPEG
Bitstream: Select “Bitstream” if you connect the DVD Player’s
DIGITAL OUT jack to an amplifier or other equipment with a
Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG decoder.
PCM (for Dolby Digital / MPEG): Select when connected to a
two-channel digital stereo amplifier. DVDs encoded in Dolby
Digital or MPEG will be automatically downmixed to two-channel PCM audio.
Off (for DTS): If you select “Off”, the DTS signal is not
output through the DIGITAL OUT jack.
Sample Freq. (Frequency)
If your receiver or amplifier is NOT capable of handling 96 KHz
signals, select 48 KHz. When this choice is made, this unit
automatically converts any 96 KHz signals to 48 KHz so your
system can decode them.
If your receiver or amplifier is capable of handling 96 KHz signals,
select 96 KHz. When this choice is made, this unit
passes each type of signal through without any further
processing.
Check the documentation for your amplifier to verify its
capabilities.
DRC (Dynamic Range Control)
With the DVD format, you can hear a program’s soundtrack in the
most accurate and realistic presentation possible, thanks to digital
audio technology. However, you may wish to compress the
dynamic range of the audio output (the difference between the
loudest sounds and the quietest ones). This allows you to listen to
a movie at a lower volume without losing clarity of sound. Set
DRC to On for this effect.
