IMPORTANT NOTE

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a molded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug. If it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used.

Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required, it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.

However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains jack, as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, the plug must be pulled out from the mains socket, therefore the mains plug shall be readily operable.

NOTES

✎

If you use an HDMI-to-DVI cable to connect to your display device, you must also connect the Digital Audio Out on the player to an audio system to hear audio.

An HDMI cable outputs digital video and audio, so you don't need to connect an audio cable.

Depending on your TV, certain HDMI output resolutions may not work. Please refer to the user manual of your TV.

When you connect the player to your TV using the HDMI cable or to a new TV, and then turn it on for the first time, the player automatically sets the HDMI output resolution to the highest supported by the TV.

A long HDMI cable may cause screen noise. If this occurs, set HDMI Deep Colour to Off in the menu.

To view video in the HDMI 720p, 1080i, or 1080p output mode, you must use a High speed HDMI cable.

HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV. If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random noise appears on the screen.
