Care and safety information
Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust
– Do not expose the system, batteries
or discs to humidity, rain, sand or
excessive heat (caused by heating
equipment or direct sunlight.) Always
keep the disc tray closed to avoid getting
dust on the lens.
Avoid condensation problem
– The lens may cloud over when the
player is suddenly moved from cold to
warm surroundings, making it impossible
to play a disc. Leave the player in the
warm environment until the moisture
evaporates.
Do not block the vents
– Do not operate the DVD system in an
enclosed cabinet and allow about 10 cm
(4 inches) of free space all around the
player for adequate ventilation.

as they may damage the
disc!
– Write only on the printed side of a
CDR(W) and only with a soft felt-tipped
pen.
– Handle the disc by its edge, do not
touch the surface.
Care of the cabinet
– Use a soft cloth slightly moistened
with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use a solution containing alcohol, spirits,
ammonia or abrasives.
Finding a suitable location
– Place the player on a flat, hard, stable
surface.

Using Component Video jacks
(Pr Pb Y)
1 Use the component video cables (red/
blue/green) to connect the DVD system’s
Pr Pb Y jacks to the corresponding
Component video input jacks (or labeled
as Pr/Cr Pb / Cb Y or YUV) on the TV.
2 To hear the audio output from the DVD
system through the TV speakers, use the
audio cables (white/red) to connect LINE
OUT (L/R) jacks to the corresponding
AUDIO IN jacks on the TV.
3 If you are using a Progressive Scan TV (TV
must indicate Progressive Scan or
ProScan capability) set the Progressive
setup to ‘ON.’ Otherwise, set it to ‘OFF’
(see page 29.)
F
IMPORTANT!
– S-Video connection provides
better picture quality. This option
must be available on your TV.
Using S-Video jack
1 Use the S-video cable (not supplied) to
connect the DVD system’s S-VIDEO
OUT jack to the S-Video input jack (or
labeled as Y/C or S-VHS) on the TV.
2 To hear the audio output from the DVD
system through the TV speakers, use the
audio cables (white/red) to connect LINE
OUT (L/R) jacks to the corresponding
AUDIO IN jacks on the TV.
