Standby mode.
When left unused for a long period of time, the Player should
be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

No Fingers or Other Objects Inside

Do not put any foreign object on the disc tray.

Place the Player in a horizontal position, and do not place
anything heavy on it.

Condensation

Moisture may form on the pickup lens in the following condi­tions:

• immediately after a heater has been turned on.

• in a steamy or very humid room.

• when the Player is suddenly moved from a cold environ-

ment to a warm one.

If moisture forms inside this Player, it may not operate prop­erly.

Depending on the reception condition of the TV, interference
may appear on the TV monitor while you watch a TV broad­cast and the Player is left on. This is not a malfunction of the
Player or the TV. To watch a TV broadcast, turn off the
Player.

The Player is a precision device that is constructed using
extremely accurate technology.
Soiling or friction affecting the pickup lens or disc drive can
impair the image quality. At the worst, neither video nor audio
will be played back. To maintain optimum picture quality, the
Player should be serviced (cleaned and replacement of
some parts) every 1,000 hours. Note that this period varies
depending on the environment (temperature, humidity, dust,
etc.) in which the Player is used. Contact your authorized
Sharp supplier for details.

Do not attempt to clean the pickup lens yourself.

Screen Burn

The screen saver programme will not start in pause mode or
when playing Audio or MP3 discs.This may cause screen
burn due to long-term static display.
Refer to page 18 for more details.

PRECAUTIONS

Connection to power

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 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.
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.

Note: A 5A fuse is also acceptable for a non-rewireable (moulded) plug which is used for this product.

CAUTION:

• Be sure to turn off the Player and equipment to be connected before connecting.

• Read through the operation manual for the equipment to be connected.

• Be sure that the colours of the jacks and plugs match up when using a VIDEO/AUDIO cable.

• Be sure to keep the Player connection cables separate from the TV antenna cable when you install the Player, because it

may cause electrical interference when you are watching television programmes.

• DTS audio cannot be produced with an analogue connection.

TV directly.

NOTE:

•

The player is continuously outputting the RGB and the VIDEO (COMPOSITE)
signal. Select either (RGB or COMPOSITE) signal on your TV side.
Some TV can recognize the RGB signal automatically. In this case, the RGB
signal has priority over the VIDEO (COMPOSITE) signal.

•

When you play the VCR, please select the VIDEO (COMPOSITE) signal on
your TV. Otherwise the VCR image will not be seen.
Please refer to your TV’s manual for more infomation.

Connecting a TV Equipped with S-VIDEO Input or VIDEO/AUDIO Input Jacks

The S-VIDEO connection provides a better quality video signal than the VIDEO (COMPOSITE) output. Use a commercially
available S-VIDEO cable to connect from the Player to the TV.

• When the Player is connected to a TV using both a VIDEO cable and an S-VIDEO cable, only the S-VIDEO connection is
enabled (the VIDEO connection is disabled).

• You will not be able to hear all of the sound being output by the Player if you use the VIDEO/AUDIO cable (commercially
available) to a monaural TV that has only one AUDIO input jack.

NOTE:

• Be sure that the colours of the jacks and plugs match up when connecting the cable.

• Connect the Player directly to the TV. If you attempt to view video on a TV connected via a VCR, the copy protection

function will scramble the picture.

• If you want to listen to the audio through audio equipment, connect only the S-VIDEO or VIDEO cable to the TV.

You can make this connection using a coaxial digital cable.

Digital Connection to an MD to Record a CD

Some Audio CDs have a short silent section between musical tracks. When sound from discs such as these is digitally
recorded by connecting the Player directly to a digital recorder (such as an MD player), the music may be recorded
continuously and track numbers may be lost.

CC

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

• Audio CD
Audio CD discs can be transferred digitally to other equipment such as an MD recorder, play the disc as you would

normally with the audio mode set to “L+R” and use the connection shown above. Audio CD’s recorded in the DTS format
cannot be transferred digitally or via analogue.

• DVD
DVD ’s recorded in Dolby Digital (5.1 channel), Dolby surround (Pro Logic), DTS or MPEG Audio cannot be connected

digitally to external recording equipment such as an MD recorder.
It may be possible to record Dolby Digital or MPEG Audio via a digital connection if the DVD player output is set to PCM
and down mix is set to ON (see page 19 “Audio Settings”). Analgue recording is possible but not for DTS recorded audio.
DVD discs with linear PCM audio should play normally.

Playing Dolby Digital (5.1 channel), DTS or MPEG audio

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

CC

Digital connection to a processor or amplifier with a coaxial digital input jack

You can make this connection using a coaxial digital cable.

NOTES:

• This connection is not possible if the processor or amplifier to which you want to connect does not have a coaxial digital
input jack.

• ANALOG AUDIO OUT and AV (TV) of the DVD player are not available on the DTS audio.
