Cautions on Handling

• Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are
no problems with the connection cables.

• Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is
set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long
periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.

• Image persistence (image burn-in)

Do not leave the still images of the disc menu, UD9004 menu, etc.,
displayed on the TV screen for long periods. This can result in image
persistence (image burn-in) on the screen.

• About Condensation

If the UD9004 unit is moved from a cold place to a warm place, or
installed in a room subject to rapid temperature rise from a heater,
etc., condensation (dew) may form on the internal parts of the unit
(operating parts and lenses).
If used in this condition, the UD9004 will not operate correctly and
damage may result. If condensation is formed on the unit, leave the
UD9004 unit for1 to 2 hours with the power OFF before use.

• Cautions on using mobile phones

Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move
the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.

• Moving the unit

Be sure to remove a disc, turn off the power and unplug the power
cord from the power outlet. Next, disconnect the connection cables
to other system equipment before moving the unit.

• About Care

• Wipe the cabinet and control panel clean with a soft cloth.

• Follow the instructions when using a chemical cleaner.

• Benzene, paint thinner or other organic solvents as well as

insecticide may cause material changes and discoloration if brought
into contact with the unit, and should, therefore, not be used.

• Sufciently ventilate the place of installation

If the unit is left in a room full of the smoke from cigarettes, etc.,
for long periods of time, the surface of the optical pickup could get
dirty, in which case it will not be able to read the signals properly.

• Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the
actual unit for explanation purposes.

Cautions on Installation

Note:

For proper heat dispersal, do not install this unit in a conned

space, such as a bookcase or similar enclosure.

b Note

b

Do not place the UD9004 on an amp or other piece of equipment that
generates heat.

Cautions on Using Media

About Media

Inserting a Disc

• Set the disc with the labeled side facing up.

• Make sure the disc tray is fully open when inserting the disc.

• Place the disc horizontally in the tray, aligned with the tray guide.

If a disc that cannot be played is loaded or the disc is loaded
up-sidedown, “NO DISC” is displayed on the player’s display.

NOTE

• Only load one disc at a time. Loading two or more discs can damage
the unit or scratch the discs.

• Do not use cracked or warped discs or discs that have been repaired
with adhesive, etc.

• Do not use discs on which the sticky part of cellophane tape or
labels is exposed or on which there are traces of where labels have
been removed. Such discs can get caught inside the player and
damage it.

• Do not use discs with special shapes, as they could damage the
player.

TroubleshootingInformationHDMI Control FunctionPlaybackSetupConnectionsGetting Started Specications

• Do not push the disc tray in by hand when the power is turned off.
Doing so could damage the set.

Inserting an SD Memory Card

• Insert an SD Memory Card in the direction of the arrow into the SD
CARD slot with the label facing up.

About Handling of Media

• Do not get ngerprints, oil or dirt on discs.

• Take special care not to scratch discs when removing them from

their cases.

• Do not bend or heat discs.

• Do not enlarge the hole at the center.

• Do not write on the labeled (printed) surface with ball-point pens,

pencils, etc., or stick new labels on discs.

• Water droplets may form on discs if they are moved suddenly from
a cold place (outdoors for example) to a warm place, but do not try
to dry them off using a hairdryer, etc.

• Do not eject an SD Memory Card or turn off the UD9004’s power
while the card content is in playback. This may result in malfunction
or loss of the card’s data.

• Do not attempt to open or modify SD Memory Cards.

• SD Memory Cards and les can be damaged by static electricity.

Do not touch the metal contacts of an SD Memory Card with your

ngers.

• Do not use warped SD Memory Cards.

• After use, be sure to remove any disc or SD Memory Card, and store

it in its proper card case, to avoid dust, scratches and deformation.

• Do not store discs in the following places:

1.Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time

2.Dusty or humid places

3.Places exposed to heat from heating appliances, etc.

Cleaning Discs

• If there are ngerprints or dirt on discs, wipe them off before using

the disc.

• Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth to
clean discs.

Gently wipe the disc from the

inside towards the outside.

Do not wipe with a circular

motion.

NOTE

Do not use record spray, antistatic agents, or benzene, thinner or
other solvents.

Video and Audio Output Signal when Outputting to 2 HDMI Devices
(HDMI Auto (Dual) Mode and HDMI Auto (Independent) Mode)

n About Video Signal

When “About HDMI Video Resolution Setting” (vpage 15) is set to “Auto”, of the resolution
supported by both of the 2 connected devices, the UD9004 outputs the highest resolution video
signal to both devices.

n About Audio Signal

(1) Check audio signals that can be input by the device to be connected.

• Audio format·∙·∙·∙·∙·∙·∙·∙·∙·∙·∙·∙·∙·∙·∙Bit stream (Dolby Digital, DTS etc.), Linear PCM, etc.

• Number of channels

(2) About number of output channels of multi-channel audio

When outputting bitstream signals to two HDMI devices, the signals are output to both HDMI devices
if they both support bitstream signals. Of only one device support bit stream, LPCM is output to the
device, which does not support bit stream.
When outputting LPCM signals to two HDMI devices, it is not possible to output multi-channel audio
signals with different numbers of channels to the two HDMI devices.
When the number of channels of multi-channel audio supported by the connected 2 HDMI devices
are different, the audio signal output to each mode becomes as follows:

• HDMI Auto (Dual) :

Outputs multi-channel audio of less number of channels to both devices.
If the supported number of channels is 7.1 channel and 5.1 channel, respectively, 5.1 channel audio
is output. If the supported number of channels is multi-channel and 2-channel (or 2.1-channel), multi­channel and 2-channel are output.

• HDMI Auto (Independent) :

Multi-channel audio is output as is to the device, which supports more number of channels.
LPCM audio of 2-channel is output to the other device.
We recommend you use this mode when outputting to both an AV Amp and TV.

n About Audio Format to be Output

Audio format supported by 2 connected HDMI devices is output.
When multi-channel audio is output, the output channel is as described above (2).

• In this case, the audio signal is not output. Make the appropriate audio connections for your devices.
(vpage 15 ~ 21).

• The video signal will be in RGB format.

• You cannot output to a DVI-D device that does not support HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content

copyright protection system).

• Video may not be output depending on the combination of devices.

1080P24

• If the HDMI resolution is not set to “Auto”, set it to correspond with the resolution of your television.
Images will not be projected normally if the television resolution and UD9004’s output resolution do
not match.

• Audio and video will be temporarily interrupted if the power of the connected device currently playing
back is turned off, or input is switched.

• When you change the HDMI video resolution of the UD9004, it takes from a few seconds up to about
10 seconds for validation between the UD9004 and the connected device. Audio/video is not output
during this period.

• When outputting deep colour or 1080p, etc., we recommend you use High Speed HDMI cable for
enhanced high-quality playback.

NOTE

When the HDMI video resolution is set to “1080P24”, HDMI video signals are output from the UD9004
with a resolution of 1080P and a frame rate of 24 frames per second, regardless of the video signals on
the disc being played. Because of this, when playing discs containing video signals recorded with a frame
rate of something other than 24 frames per second, the movement of the picture may be unnatural. If this
happens, set the HDMI video resolution to something other than “1080P24”.

Copyright protection system

In order to play back digital video and audio such as BD-Video or DVD-Video via HDMI connection,
both the player and TV or the AV Amp need to support the copyright protection system known as
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copyright protection technology
comprised of data encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. The UD9004 supports
HDCP.

NOTE

• If a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video and audio are not output correctly. Read the
owner’s manual of your television or AV Amp for more information.

• The audio signal from the HDMI output terminal (sampling frequency, number of channels, etc.) may
be limited by the HDMI audio specications of the connected device regarding permissible inputs. For
example, if the HDMI audio specication of the connected device is 5.1 channels, 5.1-channel audio

will be automatically output even when playing back 7.1 channels by the UD9004. In this case, analog
audio output will also be 5.1-channel.

• Audio signal input may not be supported depending on the HDMI compatible monitor (projector, etc.)
being used.
When the UD9004 is connected to this kind of device, audio signals are not output from the HDMI
terminal.

Multi LPCM signals are output when “BD Audio Mode” is set to “Mix Audio Output ” (vpage 33).
Multi LPCM signals are output when outputting HDMI video signals with resolutions of 480i/576i or

NOTE

• Dolby TrueHD/Dolby Digital Plus/DTS-HD audio signals are not output with

When outputting Dolby TrueHD/Dolby Digital Plus/DTS-HD audio signals, do
so with an HDMI connection (vpage 13, “Using an HDMI Cable to Connect
to an AV Amp or Television”).

• Super Audio CD’s DSD signal cannot be output. Also, during CD layer
playback, 44.1 kHz/16-bit Linear PCM is output.

• Do not output DTS audio signals to an AV Amp that does not support DTS. Playing back a BD/DVD
disc with recorded DTS content can generate noise and even damage your speakers.

• When connecting with an optical transmission cable (sold separately), make sure the plug shape
aligns with the socket, and insert fully.
