Regional restriction codes are built into DVD players and DVD videos for each sales region. If the regional code of the DVD Player does not match one of the regional codes on the DVD video, playback is not possible. The regional number can be found on the rear panel of the DVD

Player. (e.g. 1 for Region 1)

2. About This Manual

This manual explains the basic procedures for operating the DVD Player. Some DVD videos do not support the full potential of the DVD technology. Your DVD Player may therefore not respond to all operating commands. Refer to instruction notes on discs. A “ ” mark may appear on the TV screen during operation. It means that the operation is not permitted by the DVD player or the disc.

3. Recording Copyright

Recording of copyrighted material for other than personal use is illegal without permission of the copyright holder.

4. Power WARNING

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.

The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where the unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., AC100-240V, 50/60Hz) written on the rear panel.

5. Do not touch the unit with wet hands

Do not handle the unit or mains lead when your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the case, take the unit to an authorized service center for inspection.

6. Location of the unit

• Place the unit in a well-ventilated location.

Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of the unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is blocked, the unit may overheat and malfunction.

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or heating units as the

unit's internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of the pickup.

• Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by

vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit on or above one of the speakers.

• Be sure the unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place it

on its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction.

• When you place the unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playback

picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

7. Care

From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.

8. Notes on Handling

• When shipping the unit, 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 unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

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

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

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

9. To Obtain a Clear Picture

The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pickup 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.

10. Notes on Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please read the following carefully.

• What is moisture condensation?

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 the unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.

• Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.

– When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a warm

place.

– When you use the unit 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 unit in a hot and humid place

just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.

– When you use the unit in a humid place.

• Do not use the unit when moisture condensation may occur.

If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the mains lead of the unit to the mains, turn on the unit, and leave it for two or three hours. After a few hours, the unit will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit connected to the mains and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

Connecting to a TV

Before connecting

• Refer also to the instruction manual of the TV.

• When you connect the DVD Player to the TV, be sure to turn off the

power and unplug both units from the mains before making any connections.

• Connect the DVD Player to the TV directly. If you connect the DVD Player to a VCR, TV/VCR combination, or video selector, the playback picture may be distorted as DVD videos are copy protected.

Making component video connections

If the TV or monitor has component video inputs, making this type of video connection will produce the ideal picture quality for the presentation of DVD-Video. Using a componect video cable (sold separately), connect the VIDEO OUTPUT COMPONENT jacks to the corresponding component video input jacks on the TV. Actual labels for component video inputs may vary depending on the TV manufacturer. (e.g. Y, R-Y, B-Y or Y, C In some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the playback picture may be reduced slightly or the tint may change. In such a case, adjust the TV or monitor for optimum performance.

Connecting to an Amplifier (To Enjoy the Sound Advantage of the DVD Player)

Although you can reproduce the DVD Player’s sound from the TV speakers with the connections on the opposite page, connecting with an amplifier provides you high quality dynamic sounds. To reproduce Dolby Digital surround, MPEG1 audio, MPEG2 audio, and DTS surround sound, you need to connect to an amplifier with a Dolby Digital, MPEG1 audio, MPEG2 audio, and DTS decoder respectively.

Before connecting

• Refer to the instruction manual of the amplifier.

• When you connect the DVD Player to the amplifier, be sure to turn off

the power and unplug both units from the mains before making any connections. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged.

• Connect the plugs securely.

■ Setting the TV System (except for USA and Canadian models)

The default setting of this player is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO. If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region’s system. Doing this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC).

About MOD. (Modulation) PAL

• SHRINK Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage.

• If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is caused by the NTSC = PAL conversion.

Setting Up the Player

The Setup Navigator has been designed to simplify the process of getting the DVD player ready to perform. Designed as a series of on-screen multiple-choice questions, the Setup Navigator automatically sets the audio, video, and language settings according to how the questions are answered. Once this procedure is complete, it will be possible to begin using the DVD player to enjoy DVDs. The procedure on this page describes the operations necessary to function within the Setup Navigator screens. A detailed description of the contents of each question that appears on the screen can be found on the following pages.
