Introduction —Continued
Handling Discs
•Never touch the underside of a disc. Always hold discs
by the edge, as shown.
Underside
•Never attach adhesive tape or sticky labels to discs.
Cleaning Discs
•For best results, keep your discs clean. Fingerprints
and dust can affect the sound and picture quality and
should be removed as follows. Using a clean soft
cloth, wipe from the center outwards, as shown. Never
wipe in a circular direction.
Storing Discs
• Don’t store discs in places subject to direct sunlight,
or near heat sources.
• Don’t store discs in places subject to moisture or dust,
such as in a bathroom or near a humidifier.
•Always store discs in their cases and vertically. Stacking, or putting objects on unprotected discs may cause
warping, scratches, or other damage.
✔
•To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a
damp soft cloth, and then dry it with a dry cloth.
•Never use solvent-based cleaning fluids, such as thinner or benzine, commercially available cleaners, or
antistatic sprays intended for vinyl records, because
they may damage the disc.

• If the remote controller doesn’t work reliably, try
replacing both batteries.
• Don’t mix new and old batteries, or different types of
batteries.
• If you intend not to use the remote controller for a long
time, remove the batteries to prevent possible leakage
and corrosion.
• Flat batteries should be removed as soon as possible to
prevent possible leakage and corrosion.
Using the Remote Controller
To use the remote controller, point it at the DV-SP404/
DV-SP404E’s remote control sensor, as shown below.

Notes:
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
DV-SP404/DV-SP404E is subjected to bright light,
such as direct sunlight or inverter-type fluorescent
lights. Keep this in mind when installing the DVSP404/DV-SP404E.
• If another remote controller of the same type is used
in the same room, or the DV-SP404/DV-SP404E is
installed close to equipment that uses infrared rays,
the remote controller may not work reliably.
• Don’t put anything, such as a book, on the remote controller, because the buttons may be pressed inadvertently, thereby draining the batteries.
• The remote controller may not work reliably if the
DV-SP404/DV-SP404E is installed in a rack behind
colored glass doors. Keep this in mind when installing
the DV-SP404/DV-SP404E.
• The remote controller will not work if there’s an
obstacle between it and the DV-SP404/DV-SP404E’s
remote control sensor.

controller, and wait of the “OFF” message to disappear from the player’s display.
•For the above reasons, do not plug this player into a
switched power supply found on some amplifiers and
AV receivers.
1. Connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO OUT
ANALOG L/R jacks to a set of A/V inputs on
your TV.
Use the supplied AV cable (RCA/phono), connecting
the red and white plugs to the audio outputs and the
yellow plug to the video output. Make sure you
match up the left and right audio outputs with their
corresponding inputs for correct stereo sound.
See page 20 if you want to use a component, SVideo cable or SCART cable for the video connection.
2. Oceanian and European models:
Connect the supplied AC power cord to the AC
INLET, then plug into a power outlet.
