GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
• If this product is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other), it will fit into the
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 should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
• If this product is equipped with a three-wire
grounding type plug, a plug having a third
(grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding
type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding type plug.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Power-supply
cords should be routed so that 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.
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
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
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.
OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets,
extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.

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.
REPLACEMENT PARTS — When replacement
parts are required, be sure the service
technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the
same characteristics as the original part.

Differences in Disc
How to Proceed in This
Composition
DVD
DVDs are divided into units referred to as titles, and
titles are divided into chapters. A DVD which contains a
movie may have only one title with many or no chapter
divisions. Karaoke DVDs may have many titles, assigning
a title to each song on the DVD. Menu screens do not
belong to any title.
DVD player functions generally apply to titles on a DVD
or chapters within a selected title. The player functions
available may also vary from title to title, depending on
the DVD. When DVDs have a unique title division, it
should be noted that search and program functions may
be affected.
Chapter 1Chapter 2
Title 1
DVD
Chapter 1
Video CD/CD
Video CDs and CDs are divided into units referred to as
tracks (Video CD tracks may also be referred to as
scenes). One song generally corresponds to one track.
Some tracks are further divided into units referred to as
indexes. Video CDs with PBC (Playback Control) also
contain menus recorded on the disc which enable easy
access to the contents of the disc.
When played back on a DVD player, both Video CDs and
CDs are considered to be a single title, regardless of the
number of tracks.

Manual
DVD is an incredible format that presents the highest
quality digital audio and video available today. Because
using the DVD player and DVDs may be confusing at
first, following the order below should help you get
through the important stages of getting set up so you
can start using your player as soon as possible.
Get familiar with the player.
Refer to the section “Before Using” on page 8 to
confirm that all the accessories were included with the
player. If you are new to DVD, it might be beneficial for
you to go through the “Names and Functions” section

the same way. The “Making Connections” section
starting on page 15 shows how video and audio
connections may be made to suit your home
entertainment system.
Set up the player.
Before you can begin to enjoy the benefits of the DVD
format, it is first necessary to set up the player to output
the video and audio corresponding to your system. The
section “Setting Up the Player” starting on page 20
explains how to use the Setup Navigator, a function that
automatically sets up your player. The Setup screen
menus, described in the section starting on page 39, are
also used in a number of other functions. Learning the
procedure for operating these menus will make using
this player much easier and more enjoyable.
Load the disc rack and play discs.
When all the connections and setups have been made,
you are ready to play your DVDs, Video CDs, and CDs
with the player. The section “Getting Started Using Your
DVD Player” starting on page 23 outlines the basic
player operations.
Organize the discs in the disc rack.
The section “Disc Management” on page 30 helps you
manage the discs you have loaded in the rack by making
use of the Sub Setup screen menus. By taking advantage
of this player’s text input and cross-referencing
capabilities, it is quick and easy to find the disc you want.
Enjoy the other features available.
Once you are comfortable using the basic player
functions, you are ready to take advantage of the various
options DVD and this player have to offer. The section
“Advanced Functions” starting on page 49 describes a
number of functions available with this player.

You can load as many as 300 discs into the rack. Disc
positions in the rack are numbered clockwise from 1 to
300 starting after the single loader slot. The procedure
on this page describes how to load discs starting from
the number 1 position. However, the same procedure
can be followed when you want to change or add more
discs at a different time.
3 Load discs in the rack.
• The number 1 position is immediately to the left
of the single loader slot.
• Load discs with the label side facing to the right.
(When loading double-sided DVDs, load the disc
in the rack with the label denoting the contents
you want to view facing the right.)
• Do not place more than one disc in the same rack
position as that may damage the disc and cause
the player to malfunction.
