6. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc.

8. Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

9. Move a product and cart combination with care. Quick

stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.

10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventilation, ensure reliable operation of the product, and protect it from overheating. Do not block or cover these openings. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place this product in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

11. Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

12. Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13. Power-Cord Protection – Route power supply cords so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

14.

6 Introduction

Welcome!

This Digital Video Disc Player will allow you to enjoy better picture quality, clearer sound, and endless playback features on Digital Video Discs (DVDs). Expanding technology allows you to add options to your viewing - watch a director’s cut of a movie, listen to the producer’s comments, or play your favorite scene repeatedly. Hear a movie in different languages, or listen only to the soundtrack. The possibilities are limited only by your choices and the materials available on the DVD. Of course, you can listen to your favorite Audio Compact Discs (CDs) on this Player, too. Determine the order in which you want to hear the songs, or play the Disc repeatedly - all while seeing the status of the Audio CD on your television. We hope you enjoy this Player and learn to use its features. To get the most from the Player, read this manual carefully. It will describe how you can access these features.

Package Contents

● DVD Player

Environmental Information

Your system has materials that can be recycled and reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries, and old equipment.

Safety Information

● Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand, heat, or humidity.

● Place the Player on a firm, flat surface.

tion. Leave enough room in front of the Player for the disc tray to open completely.

● If the Player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,

moisture may condense on the lens inside the Player. If this occurs, the Player will not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the Player until normal playback is possible.

● The mechanical parts of the set contain self-lubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.

● When the Player is turned off, it is still consuming some power. To disconnect the system from the

power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.

● Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

Cleaning Discs

● When a Disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the Disc from the center out, in a

straight line. Do not wipe the Disc in a circular pattern.

● Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static spray

intended for analog discs.

8 General Information

Battery Installation

Remove the battery compartment lid on the rear of the remote control by pressing in the tab, then lifting off the lid.

Place two AA batteries inside the battery compartment with their +and –ends aligned as indicated. Do not mix old

and new batteries or different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, etc.).

Replace the battery compartment lid.

Using the Remote Control

Unless stated otherwise, the remote control can operate all the features of the DVD Player. Always point the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the front of the Player, not the TV. Details are on page 17. Make sure there are no barriers between the remote control and the DVD Player.

When referring to this manual, remember...

The feature is available on some Digital Video Discs.

The feature is available on some Audio Compact Discs.

The feature is available on some Video Compact Discs or Super Video CDs.

DVD Disc Menus...

Some explanations in this manual describe the DVD Disc Menus, which vary among DVDs. Movie producers set these menus, and not all DVDs have menus. If the DVD has a menu, access the Disc Menu by pressing DISC MENU on the remote control. Details are on page 19.

DVD Player Menus...

Some instructions explain how to use the Player’s Setup menu to set up features of the Player or the Disc. You get to the Setup Menu by pressing SYSTEM MENU on the remote control. Even if a feature is set up in the Player’s menu, it will not be available if the current Disc does not include that feature.

To adjust features in the Player’s Setup Menu, see pages 24-30 and 32-41.

Available Disc Features...

Features in this manual may not be available on every Disc. If the feature is not available, you cannot use the Player to make the feature available. A stop hand will appear in the top left corner of the TV screen if you try to access a feature that is not available on the current Disc.

Hookups 9

Determining the best possible connection...

The capabilities of your existing equipment, especially your TV, will determine your connection possibilities. However, the following guidelines describe which options provide the best picture and sound quality.

HHHHHHHH

Component Video provides the best picture quality. Details are on page 12.

HHHHHH

S-Video provides excellent picture quality. Details are on page 11.

HHHH

Composite Video (a yellow Video jack) provides good picture quality. Details are on page 10.

HHHH

Your TV may have only an RF-style jack, usually labeled Antenna In or 75 ohm or RF In. You will need an RF modulator in order to view the Player at your TV. See your electronics retailer for details on RF modulator availability and operations.

HHHHHHHH

Digital audio connections provide the clearest sound, but you must have a digital Stereo. Connect the Player’s black COAXIAL Digital Audio Out jack to your Stereo for the best sound quality. Details are on page 14.

HHHHHH

If a digital connection is not possible, connect the Player’s red and white AUDIO OUT jacks to the Audio In jacks of your Stereo or TV. Details are on pages 10-13.

Before you begin...

● Refer to the manuals of your TV, Stereo, or other equipment as necessary. Note the style of jacks and

connectors on the other equipment. Determine how to choose different Audio and Video In channels on your other equipment so you can see and hear the Player on the TV, Stereo, etc.

● Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets only

after you have finished hooking up everything. Never make or change connections with equipment connected to the power outlet.

Remember...

● Connect the Player directly to the TV. For example, do not connect the Player to a VCR, then con-

nect the VCR to a TV. This type of connection may distort the picture and sound. Also, your VCR might have the copy protection system, which could distort the DVD image or prevent playback of some Discs.

● Set the TV to the correct Video In channel. Such channels may be called AUX or AUXILIARY IN,

AUDIO/VIDEO or A/V IN, EXT1 or EXT2 or External In, etc. These channels are often near channel
