attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the product.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an
outside antenna or cable system is connected
to the product, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Article 810 of the National

information with regard to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See Figure A.
LIGHTNING — For added protection for this
product during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This
will prevent damage to the product due to
lightning and power-line surges.
POWER LINES — An outside antenna system
should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should
be taken to keep from touching such power
lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.

by a qualified technician to restore the product
to its normal operation.
• If the product has been dropped or damaged in
any way.
• When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance — this indicates a need for
service.

• This player can recognize up to 999 files
(WMA/MP3/JPEG) and up to 499 folders.
If a disc exceeds these limits, only files
and folders up to these limits will be playable. Files and folders are read/displayed
in alphabetical order. Note that if the file
structure is very complex, you may not be
able to read/play all files on the disc.
• Folder and track names (excluding the file
extension) are displayed.
• There are many different recording bitrates available to encode MP3 files. This
unit was designed to be compatible with
all of them. Audio encoded at 128Kbps
should sound close to regular CD Audio
quality. This player will play lower bit-rate
files, but please note that the sound
quality becomes noticeably worse at
lower bit-rates.
JPEG file compatibility
• Baseline JPEG and EXIF 2.1* still image
files up to 8 mega-pixels are supported
(maximum vertical and horizontal resolution is 5120 pixels). (*File format used by
digital still cameras)
• The CD-ROM used to compile your JPEG
files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2
compliant. CD physical format: Mode1,
Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet file
systems are both compatible with this
player.
• This player only displays files that are
named with the file extension .jpg or
.JPG.

To power outlet
• This player is equipped with copy protection technology. Do not connect this player to your
TV via a VCR using AV cables, as the picture from this player will not appear properly on your
TV. (This player may also not be compatible with some combination TV/VCRs for the same
reason; refer to the manufacturer for more information.)
• When connecting to your TV as shown above, do not set the Component Out setting
(page 50) to Progressive.
Connecting up
02
1 Connect the VIDEO OUT and AUDIO
OUT L/R jacks to a set of A/V inputs on
your TV.
Use the supplied audio/video cable,
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 below if you want to use a component or
S-video cable for the video connection.
2 Connect the supplied AC power cable
to the AC IN inlet, then plug into a power
outlet.
• Before unplugging the player from the
power outlet, make sure you first switch it
into standby using either the front panel
STANDBY/ON button, or the remote
control, 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.
• When Component Out (page 50) is set to
Progressive, there is no video output
from the VIDEO OUT (composite) and S
(S-video) jacks. If you want to display video
on more than one monitor simultaneously, make sure that it is set to Inter-
lace. Switch the player to standby then,
using the front panel controls, press
STANDBY/ON while pressing
to switch the player back to Interlace.
Connecting using the S-video
output
If your TV (or other equipment) has an S-video
input, you can use this instead of the standard (composite) output for a better quality
picture.
• Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to
connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an S-video
input on your TV (or monitor or AV
receiver).
Line up the small triangle above the jack with
the same mark on the plug before plugging
in.

supplied) to connect the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT jacks to a component video
input on your TV, monitor or AV receiver.

Connecting to an AV receiver
To enjoy multichannel surround sound you
need to connect this player to an AV receiver
using a digital output. This player has both
coaxial and optical digital jacks; use whichever is convenient.
In addition to a digital connection, we recommend also connecting using the stereo
analog connection.
You’ll probably also want to connect a video
output to your AV receiver. You can use any of
the video outputs available on this player (the
illustration shows a standard (composite)
connection).

jacks on this player to a digital input on

on your AV receiver.
For a coaxial connection, use a coaxial cable
(similar to the supplied video cable) to
connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT
jack to a coaxial input on your AV receiver.

The diagram shows standard video connections, but you can alternatively use the
S-video or component video connections if
they’re available.
3 Connect the AV receiver’s video
output to a video input on your TV.
• You usually have to connect the same
kind of video cable between your DVD
player and AV receiver, and between your
AV receiver and TV.
• My VCR is already connected to my TV, so
there aren’t any spare inputs. What should
I do?
If all your TV’s inputs are already in use,
you can buy a video input selector from an
electronics store, which effectively gives
you more inputs.
• My TV only has one input for the sound.
What should I plug it into?
If you don’t mind mono sound, you can
buy a stereo RCA-to-mono RCA cable
from an electronics store. Connect the
stereo end to this player and the mono
end to your TV.
If you want stereo sound, connect this
player to your amplifier or stereo system
using a stereo audio cable.
•I connected the DVD player to my AV
receiver, and although the sound is fine,
there’s no picture. What did I do wrong?
Make sure that the correct video input is
selected on your TV.
Also make sure that the type of video
connection from the DVD player to your
AV receiver is the same as that from the
receiver to your TV. Most AV receivers
won’t convert from one kind of connection
to another.
• My TV doesn’t have any inputs to connect
the DVD player. How can I watch DVDs?
If your TV has no inputs you can’t use this
player with it.
