SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used. Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type. DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below: IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: —The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or

coloured black.

—The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or

coloured red. Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug. Before replacing the plug cover make sure that: —If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug. —The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not simply over the lead wires. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

immediately and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur.

• The remote control may not function if the DVD Player sensor is in direct sunlight or any other strong light.

• Incorrect use of batteries may cause them to leak or burst. Read the battery warnings and use the batteries

properly.

• Do not mix old and new batteries, or mix brands in use.

• Remove the batteries if you will not use the remote control for an extended period of time.

Basic Connection

• Set the power switch on the player and equipment to

be connected to OFF before connecting.

• Read through the Operation manual for the equipment

to be connected.

• Be sure that the colours of the connectors and plugs

match up when connecting the cord.

The connections described below are for video connection to the S-VIDEO OUT, VIDEO OUT or LINE1 OUT (21-pin Euro-SCART) connector. Set the S-VIDEO OUT, VIDEO OUT/Y, Cb, Cr selector switch to “SVIDEO OUT, VIDEO OUT”.

Connecting to a Stereo TV Set

1 TV set (sold separately) 2 DVD player 3 Video/audio cord (supplied) 4 S-video cord (supplied) 5 To audio input connectors (red, white) 6 To video input connector (yellow) 7 To S-video input connector 8 AC power cord (supplied) 9 To power outlet (AC 110-240V, 50/60Hz)

• For LINE1 OUT connection, see page 13.

• Refer “VIRTUAL Surround (Audio) Selection” on page 46.

S-video Output Connector

The S-Video (separate) output connector provides access to separate colour (C) and luminance (Y) signals before they are combined into composite video (VIDEO OUT). This gives a sharper picture as the TV set no longer has to separate them. Use the S-video cord (supplied) when connecting the player to a TV set equipped with an S-video input connector for the best picture clarity possible.

Connecting to a Monaural TV Set

1 TV set (sold separately) 2 DVD player 3 Audio cord (commercially available) 4 Video/audio cord (supplied) 5 To audio input connector 6 To video input connector

• For LINE1 OUT connection, see page 13.

Notes on Installation:

Bundling the cord connecting the DVD player and television with the antenna cable can cause electrical interference when you are watching television programmes. Be sure to keep the DVD player connection cords separate from the antenna cord when you install the player.
