SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Power Source
The player should be operated only from a 220-240 V, 50 Hz outlet. Please do not open the cover by yourself. There is
high voltage in the player, which will endanger your life. Please contact a local service agent for help and advice. Repairs
are to be carried out by a qualified technician only.
• The player is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if
the player itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet.
Power Cord
Do not place the player, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord (mains lead), or pinch the cord. Handle the power
cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet
as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power
cord should be routed in such a way that it is not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause fire or give
you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your closest service agent
for help. When the AC power cord needs to be changed, it should be done at a qualified service shop only.
Choice of Location
• Please do not place the player in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock or in a location
near heat sources.
• The player should be placed on a solid and safe base. Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug that might
block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
• Do not place the player in a room subject to high humidity, such as a kitchen, as condensation may cause malfunction
or damage the player.
• Heating or other thermal radiation under the player also may cause malfunction or damage the player.
• The hot air, which arises during the operation, should be ventilated with sufficient air circulation. Please do not put the
set into closed areas and do not cover it.
• Do not allow the player to come in contact with water or humidity. Do not use the player near a bath or swimming
pool.
• Take care to provide good air circulation. Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up
in the player.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the player and have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.

CONNECTION OF THE PLAYER WITH TV
Be sure to turn off the power of each component before making the connections.
Use one video connection for best picture performance
When the player is connected to multiple video output connectors, the picture performance may be affected by undesired video signals from the connectors that are not selected.
For best picture performance, it is recommended that you select the appropriate item from the SETUP menu and use
only one video connection method.
SCART Connector:
If the player is not connected to a hi-fi set or AV amplifier to hear better sound, SCART is enough for both audio & video
connections.

Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
• Insert the batteries making sure the polarities correctly match and marks inside the battery compartment.
• Batteries of different types have different properties, therefore do not mix batteries of different types.
• Do not mix new and old batteries.
This may shorten the life of new batteries or may cause old batteries to leak.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control once they have run out, as leaving them can cause them to leak.
Battery fluid from leaked batteries is harmful to your skin, therefore ensure that you first wipe them and then remove
them using a cloth.

scene is shot from the front, from the left side, from the right side, etc.). With such discs, ANGLE can be used to view
the scene from different angles.
Chapter Number
These numbers are recorded on DVDs. A title is subdivided into many sections, each of which is numbered, and specific
parts of video presentations can be searched quickly using these numbers.
DTS
This is a digital sound system developed by Digital Theater Systems for use in cinemas. This system uses 6 audio chan
nels and provides accurate sound field positioning and realistic acoustics. (By connecting a DTS Digital Surround decoder,
you can also listen to DTS Digital Surround sound.)
DVD
This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures and sound have been recorded by means of digital
signals. Incorporating a video compression technology (MPEG II) and high-density recording technology, DVD enables
aesthetically pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be
recorded).
DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs, which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner the disc, the
higher the density at which the information can be recorded, a DVD has a greater capacity than a single 1.2 mm thick
disc.
Playback Control (PBC)
This is recorded on a Video CD (Version 2.0). The scenes or information to be viewed (or listened to) can be selected
interactively with the TV by looking at the menu shown on the TV.

These are printed lines appearing at the bottom of the screen, which translate or transcribe the dialogue. They are re
corded on the DVDs.

This indicates the playtime that has elapsed from the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to find a specific scene quickly.
(Not all discs permit the use of a time search feature. Availability is determined by the disc’s manufacturer.)
Title Number
These numbers are recorded on DVDs. When a disc contains two or more movies, these movies are numbered as title
1, title 2, etc.
Track Number
These numbers are assigned to the tracks that are recorded on Audio CDs. They enable specific tracks to be located
quickly.
Video CD
This contains recordings of pictures and sound whose quality is on a par with that of video tape. The player also supports
Video CDs with playback control (Version 2.0).
Dolby Digital
Many movie theatres are equipped with 5.1 channel surround systems. This same type of technology is available to you
in your home. To enjoy full 5.1 channel surround, the player must be connected to an external Dolby Digital decoder via
the digital outputs (either coaxial or optical).
LPCM
LPCM stands for Linear Pulse Code Modulation and is digital audio.
MPEG
Short for Moving Picture Experts Group. This is an international standard for compression of moving images. On some
DVDs digital audio has been compressed and recorded in this format.
