• Use the Remote to control the Player while the display panel is closed.

• You should turn off the LCD display by holding down LCD ON/OFF for two or
more seconds.

To watch Player images on the TV

1 Turn on the TV.

Connecting to Audio Equipment

Connecting the Player to audio equipment provides normal stereo sound plus
powerful stereo sound enhanced by Dolby Digital (5.1 channel), DTS and
MPEG Audio.

■ Digital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD Player without a Dolby
Digital Decoder

• Audio CD or VIDEO CD

Play the disc as you normally would, with the audio mode set to “L+R” (see
page 81). With a digital connection, audio of a disc recorded with DTS
sounds abnormal in this case.

• DVD Video Disc

The digital connection illustrated above shows connection to audio equipment
that is not equipped with a decoder. Because of this, it cannot produce any
sound when playing a DVD whose audio track is recorded in Dolby Digital (5.1
channel), Dolby Surround (Pro Logic), DTS or MPEG Audio. To play the audio on
such a DVD, you must configure a digital connection with an audio processor or
amplifier equipped with a decoder for the type of audio on the DVD you are
attempting to play. (See page 27.) If you do not have an audio processor or
amplifier equipped with the proper decoder, use a 2-channel analogue (Down
Mix) connection. (See pages 24 and 49.) Note that discs recorded with linear
PCM audio should play normally using the digital connection illustrated above.

Digital Connection to an MD to Record a CD

When you are using a digital connection to record the contents of a CD to
an MD, the track numbers of the CD may not match the track numbers
recorded to the MD.

Connecting to Audio Equipment

• This Player cannot be connected to an amplifier or processor that does not have

5.1ch input jacks.

• With an analogue connection, audio cannot be produced from a DVD recorded
with DTS, so you should use an optical digital connection to play such discs.

• Refer to the operation manual for the processor or amplifier for information about
connecting to it.

■ Digital Connection

• Connecting an amplifier with a Dolby Digital/DTS/MPEG Audio digital surround
processor or a Dolby Digital/DTS/MPEG Audio digital surround decoder to
your Player’s optical digital jack provides richer, more powerful audio play.

• To use DTS digital surround, use the Disc Menu screen (page 96) or the
Function control screen (page 74) to select DTS audio.

• The battery pack becomes warm when charging. This is normal and does not
indicate abnormality.

• If the POWER (G)/CHARGE (R) lamp flashes red at high speed or does not light
red when charging, it could mean the battery pack is faulty. See
“Troubleshooting” on page 103.

Using the AC adapter with the battery pack

• You can charge the battery pack while it is attached to the Player by
connecting the AC adapter to the Player and turning off Player power.

• The Player is powered by the AC adapter if you turn it on under the

PARENTAL SETUP setting

Parental level

Certain discs come preset with country codes and parental level settings that
are defined for particular countries. Discs equipped with the parental lock
function are rated according to their content. The rated content allowed by a
parental lock level and the way a DVD can be controlled may vary from disc to
disc. Some discs, for example, may let you edit out violent scenes and replace
them with scenes more suitable for viewing by children. You can also use the
parental lock to disable playback of the DVD entirely.

SETTING UP

This Player supports the following parental level settings.

PARENTAL LEVEL ....Defines the parental level, which controls the types of

scenes that are played back from a disc.

CODE ....................... Allows selection of a country code available on a disc.

• You can use the parental lock function only with DVDs that are equipped with the
parental lock feature.

• The parental level depends on countries. If you do not set the country code
correctly, it fails to work correctly.

Player parental level settings

Level 1: for general viewing (highly restricted level that can be viewed by
anyone. Sensational scenes are cut or replaced with other scenes.) → Level 8:
for adults only (a level to be viewed by adults only. Unrestricted view of any
scene)
(The smaller the number, the greater the level of restriction.)

• When “PARENTAL LEVEL” is set to “OFF”, DVD discs can be played back
regardless of the parental level.

• On some DVDs, the parental level setting is fixed and cannot be modified.

When Dolby Digital is used to record the audio on a DVD, the average overall
volume level of the audio is relatively lower than that produced by a VIDEO CD/
Audio CD. This is to provide the widest possible dynamic range. To counteract
this, your Player automatically raises the overall average volume level of a disc
recorded using Dolby Digital to a level that is similar to that of a VIDEO CD/

Precautions

Use & Care

• After operation, remove the battery pack from the Player.

• Avoid magnetic sources.
Using the Player near strong fluorescent lights, motors,
televisions, or other magnetic sources may adversely affect
recorded images.

• Remember to remove the disc, turn off the power when the

Player is not in use.

• Using the Player near a broadcasting station or other powerful transmission
source may cause buzzing or picture deterioration.

• Avoid shocks and dropping.
Do not drop or otherwise subject the Player to hard shocks or
strong vibrations.

• Avoid placing the Player in close proximity to lighting

equipment.

The heat from incandescent lights may deform the Player, or cause
it to malfunction.

• Always respect prohibitions or restrictions on the use of

electronic equipment on commercial flights or in other
sensitive areas.

• Be aware of the temperature and humidity.
You can use your Player at 0°C to 40°C and at 30% to 80%
relative humidity. Do not store the Player in an unventilated car in
the summer, in direct sunlight, or near strong heat sources; this
can result in severe damage to the unit’s casing and circuitry or
in burning yourself.

• Avoid situations where water, sand, dust or other foreign matter could get on

or inside the Player, and do not use or leave your Player in
areas with excessive smoke, steam or moisture.

Such environments can cause malfunctions or cause mildew to
form on the lenses. Be sure to keep the Player in a well-ventilated
location.

•

When using your Player in a cold environment, the colour
LCD screen often appears less bright immediately after the power is turned on.

This is not a malfunction. To prevent the Player from becoming too cold, wrap it in
a thick cloth (a blanket, etc.).

• Never touch the pickup lens when installing or cleaning discs.
This will cause the Player to malfunction.
