Do not play your headphones or ea rphones at a high volume. Hearing
experts advise against continuous extended play.
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue
use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed
to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that
you can’t hear what ’s around you.
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:
≥ Leave it there.

When moving the unit:
≥ Close the LCD screen. Don’t hold by the LCD screen.
About the LCD screen
There may be 0.01 % or less chance of missing or constantly
turned on pixels, but this is not a malfunction.
Attention
Do not place the unit with the LCD display-side down when the
screen is open.
Doing so may scratch the surface of the LCD and around the
LCD.
Using the unit connected to the
AC adaptor
The unit is in the standby condition (the [Í] indicator lights)
when the AC power supply cord is connected. The primary
circuit is always “live” as long as the AC adaptor is connected
to an electrical outlet.
To conserve power
This unit consumes 0.5 W (Approximately 5 W when Quick
Start is set to “On”) of power even when turned off. When the
unit is not going to be used for a long time, disconnect the AC
power supply cord from the household AC outlet.
Using the battery pack
This unit can be used in places without an AC outlet, such as
outdoors, by attaching the included battery pack.
≥ The battery is not charged at the time of purchase. Charge
before initial use.
≥ The battery is designed only for use with this unit. It cannot
be used with other equipment.
∫ Attaching the battery pack
Turn the unit off before attaching or detaching the battery pack.

≥ Detach the battery pack (> above).
(Even when the unit is turned off, there is a small amount of
voltage running through the unit, and this may result in a
malfunction.)
≥ Recharge the battery for re-use.

Before connection, consult your car owner’s manual or your
dealer.
≥ Connect to the cigarette lighter socket of a vehicle that has a
12 V battery. It is not compatible with a vehicle that has a
24 V battery.
≥ This is a special negative grounded Car DC Adaptor. Using
this Car DC Adaptor with a plus grounded car can cause
malfunction and lead to fire.

Replacing the fuse
Replace only with the specified 125 V/250 V, 3.15 A fuse.
Use of any other type can cause fire.
1 Open the socket.
2 Replace the fuse.
3 Close the socket.
Cautions
≥ To avoid draining your car battery
jDisconnect the Car DC Adaptor from the cigarette lighter
after use. The Car DC Adaptor continues to consume some
power even if it is not being used, and if a battery pack is
attached to this unit, it will start recharging which uses
more power.

signals can also be multi-channel audio.
Dolby Digital Plus
Multi-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible
using Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel
output.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that
reproduces the studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to
7.1 channel output.
Down-mixing
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found
on some discs into fewer channels.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is
good separation between the channels, so realistic sound
effects are possible.
DTS-HD
DTS-HD is a high-quality, sophisticated audio format used in
movie theaters. Previous DTS Digital Surround-compatible
equipment can play DTS-HD as DTS Digital Surround audio.
BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
This is a signal format achieved by improving t he previous
DTS, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 formats. It is compatible with
sampling frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up to
7.1 channel output.
DTS-HD Master Audio
This is a lossless audio format and compatible with 96 kHz/
7.1ch or less. In addition, faithful reproduction of the master
audio is enabled using lossless audio encoding technology.
BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of
sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and
the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.
Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between
the loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at
low volumes but still hear dialog clearly.
Film and video
DVD-Video are recorded using either film or video. This unit
can determine which type has been used, then uses the most
suitable method of progressive output.
Film:Recorded at 24 frames per second. (Recorded at 30
frames per second as well). Generally appropriate for
motion picture films.
Video: Recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second.
Generally appropriate for TV drama programs or
animation.
Folder
This is a place on the disc or SD card where groups of data are
stored together. Additional folders can be created within
folders, and you can make detailed classifications depending
on the folder structure. (> 27)
Frames and fields
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you
see on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.
FrameFieldField
≥ A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring,
but picture quality is generally better.
≥ A field still shows less picture information so it may be
rougher, but there is no blurring.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still
pictures. If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital
cameras, etc., the data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its
original size. The benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture
quality considering the degree of compression.
LPCM (Linear PCM)
This is a type of PCM format.
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found
on CDs.
MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group)
A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding color
video.
MPEG2 is a compression standard used for DVD and satellite
based digital broadcasting.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
An audio compression method that compresses audio to
approximately one tenth of its size without any significant loss
of audio quality.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
This is one format for converting analog audio into digital audio,
enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.
Picture-in-picture
This is a function of BD-Video that plays the primary video and
secondary video simultaneously. For instance, the function is
capable of playing the original movie as the primary video while
playing video commentary from the film director on a small
screen as a secondary video.
Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound
wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits
(digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of
samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more
faithful reproduction of the original sound.
x.v.Color™
x.v.Color™ is a name for devices that are compatible with the
xvYCC format, an international standard for expanded color in
motion pictures, and that follow the rules for signal transmission.
