Care and Safety Information

English

DANGER!
High voltage! Do not open the
device. You run the risk of getting
an electric shock.

The machine does not contain any
user-serviceable parts. Please leave
all maintenance work to quali ed
personnel.

Setup

Finding a suitable location

– Place the set on a  at, hard and stable

surface. Do not place the set on a
carpet.

– Do not put any equipment or heavy

objects on top of the set.

– Do not position the set on top of

other equipment that might heat it up
(such as receiver or ampli er).
Do not put anything under the set

–

(such as CDs, magazines).

– Install this unit near the AC outlet and

where the AC power plug can be
reached easily.

Space for ventilation

– Place the apparatus in a location with

5cm (2.0")

10cm (4.0")

10cm (4.0")

Cleaning discs

Some problems occur because the disc
inside the player is dirty (frozen picture,
sound disruptions, picture distortions).
To avoid these problems, discs should be
cleaned on a regular basis.

To clean a disc, use a micro  bre cleaning
cloth and wipe the disc from the center
to the edge in a straight line.

CAUTION!

Do not use solvents such as benzene,
thinner, commercially available cleaners,
or anti-static sprays intended for analog

than regular DVD or CD players,
cleaning CDs intended for DVD or CD
players may damage the optical unit
(laser). Therefore, refrain from using a
cleaning CD.

5cm (2.0")

Glossary

Analog: Sound that has not been turned into

numbers. Analog sound varies, while digital sound has
speci c numerical values. These jacks send audio
through two channels, the left and right.

Aspect ratio: The ratio of vertical and horizontal
sizes of a displayed image. The horizontal vs. vertical
ratio of conventional TVs. is 4:3, and that of wide­screens is 16:9.

AUDIO OUT Jacks: Jacks on the back of the DVD
System that send audio to another system (TV,
Stereo, etc.).

Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a given
length of music; measured in kilobits per seconds, or
kbps. Or, the speed at which you record. Generally,
the higher the bit rate, or the higher the recording
speed, the better the sound quality. However, higher
bit rates use more space on a Disc.

Chapter: Sections of a picture or a music piece on a
DVD that are smaller than titles. A title is composed
of several chapters. Each chapter is assigned a
chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter
you want.

Component Video Out Jacks: Jacks on the back
of the DVD System that send high-quality video to a
TV that has Component Video In jacks (R/G/B, Y/Pb/
Pr, etc.).

Disc menu: A screen display prepared for allowing
selection of images, sounds, subtitles, multi-angles, etc
recorded on a DVD.

Digital: Sound that has been converted into
numerical values. Digital sound is available when you
use the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT COAXIAL or
OPTICAL jacks. These jacks send audio through
multiple channels, instead of just two channels as
analog does.
