Dear Customer:

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of
your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and
excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries
Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment
by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After
all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and
the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel

Level

Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE:

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet engine
180 Rocket launching pad

PRECAUTIONS

NOTES ON HANDLING:

• When shipping the DVD player, always use the original shipping carton and
packing materials. For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was
originally packed at the factory.

• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the DVD player. Do not
leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the DVD player for a long
time. They will leave marks on the finish.

• The top and rear panels of the DVD player may become warm after a long
period of use. This is normal and not a malfunction.

• When the DVD player is not in use, be sure to remove the disc and turn off
the power.

• If you do not use the DVD player for a long period, the unit may not function
properly in the future. Turn on and use the DVD player occasionally.

NOTES ON LOCATING THE DVD PLAYER:

• When you place this DVD player near a TV, radio or VCR, the playback
picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, move
the DVD player away from the TV, radio or VCR.

NOTES ON CLEANING:

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

• For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent solution, wring well and
wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe it dry. Do not use any type of solvent, such as
thinner or benzene, as they may damage the surface of the DVD player.

• If you use a chemical-saturated cloth to clean the unit, follow that product’s
instructions.

Warning: Cleaning and adjustment of lenses and/or other components of
playback mechanism should be performed by a qualified service technician.

CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of injury, only charge with supplied rechargeable Battery Pack;
other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury or damage.

PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)

TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE:

The DVD player is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pick-up lens
and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To
obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance
(cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the
operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

NOTES ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION:

Moisture condensation damages the DVD player. Please read the following
carefully.

• Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a
glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the
same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside this unit,
one of the most crucial internal parts of the DVD player.

Moisture condensation occurs during the following cases:

• When you bring the DVD player directly from a cold place to a warm place.

• When you use the DVD player in a room where you just turned on the heater,
or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

• In summer, when you use the DVD player in a hot and humid place just after
you moved the unit from an air conditioned room.

• When you use the DVD player in a humid place.

Do not use the DVD player when moisture condensation may occur.

• If you use the DVD player in such a situation, it may damage discs and
internal parts. Remove the disc, insert the small end of the AC adapter into
the DC IN jack on the side of the unit and insert the other end into a
conveniently located AC outlet having 120 AC, 60 Hz, turn on the DVD player
and leave it “ON” for two or three hours. After two or three hours, the DVD
player will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD
player connected to the wall outlet and moisture condensation will seldom
occur.

AC CONNECTION

Insert the small end of the AC adapter into the
jack on the side of the unit. Insert the other end
(with the 2 blades) into a conveniently located
AC outlet having 120V AC, 60Hz.

Progressive scan is a video scanning
system that displays all lines in a frame in one pass, as opposed to the traditional
system, interlaced scan. This connection provides optimum quality. To ensure
maximum picture quality, use three video-grade cables for connections. Note that it
is essential to match the color-coded connectors with a compatible TV.

525 LINE DIGITAL PROGRESSIVE-SCAN COMPONENT VIDEO
OUTPUT

Compared to standard interlaced video, progressive scan effectively doubles the
amount of video information fed to your TV or monitor. The result is a stable, flicker­free image. (Check your TV/monitor for compatibility with this feature.)
For the very highest picture quality, try watching a movie on DVD-Video on a
progressive-scan compatible TV.

Caring for Discs

• Treat the disc carefully. Handle the disc only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to
come in contact with the shiny, unprinted side of the disc.

• Do not attach adhesive tape,
stickers, etc. to the disc label.

• Clean the disc periodically with a
soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use
detergents or abrasive cleaners to
clean the disc. If necessary, use a
CD cleaning kit.

• If a disc skips or gets stuck on a
section of the disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).

• When cleaning the disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the disc to the
outer edge of the disc. Never wipe in circular motions.

• Discs should be stored in their cases after each use to avoid damage.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight,
high humidity, high temperatures or
dust, etc. Prolonged exposure or
extreme temperatures can warp the
disc.

• Do not stick or write anything on either
side of the disc. Sharp writing
instruments, or the ink, may damage
the surface.

Cleaning the Unit

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source
when cleaning.

• The finish on your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other
furniture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts.

• Mild soap and a damp cloth may be used on the front panel.
