which must not be recorded without the authority of the
owner of the copyright. Please refer to relevant laws in
your country.
Copy Protection
This player supports Macrovision copy protection. On DVDs
that include a copy protection code, if the contents of the
DVD are copied using a VCR, the copy protection code
prevents the videotape copy from playing normally.
U.S.Patent Nos. 4,631,603; 4,819,09 8; 4,907,093;
5,315,448; and 6,516,132
This product incorporates copyright protection technol
ogy that is protected by U.S. patents and other intel
lectual property rights. Use of this copyright protection
technology must be authorised by Macrovision, and is
intended for home and other limited viewing uses only
unless otherwise authorised by Macrovision. Reverse
engineering or disassembly is prohibited.
• When attempting to record copy protected material on a
VCR or other recording device, the copy protection will
activate and the protected material will not be recorded
correctly. In addition, attempting to display copy protected
material on a monitor connected via a VCR, whether for
the purpose of viewing or not, will cause an inferior quality
picture to be displayed. This is not a fault of the equipment.
Please view copy protected material by connecting the
product directly to the monitor.
Recommended Measures for Optimum Picture Excel

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 unde
sired video signals from the connectors that are not selected.
For best picture performance, it is recommended that you select the appropriate item from “Video” setup menu and
use only one video connection method. (See page 32.)
HDMI Connector:
The HDMI connector can be used to connect the player to your TV set or AV amplifier via the HDMI cable. For this con
nection, the TV set or AV amplifier must have an HDMI input connector.

NOTE:
• The HDMI connector does not support the DVI output using an HDMI-to-DVI adaptor or cable.
• The HDMI enables the TV to obtain optimal-resolution images automatically.
•
You can manually change the output resolution (576p/720p/1080i) by using the HDMI button on the remote control.
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

Component Video & Audio Output Connectors:
• If your TV set has component video input connectors, you can take advantage of the player’s Progressive Scan and
YPBPR (YUV) output for a high video resolution.
• If the TV set connected with a component cable does not have the Progressive Scan features although the Video output
mode of the player is set to “Y/PB/PR Progressive”, no image will be produced. In this case, switch Video output mode
from “Y/PB/PR Progressive” to “Y/PB/PR Interlace”. (See page 32.)
1. Connect the COMPONENT OUT connectors on the player to the corresponding input connectors on the TV, using a
component video cable.
2. Connect the L-R AUDIO OUT connectors of the player to the audio Left - Right input connectors on the TV using the
