Introduction
WARNING
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the unit
to rain or moisture.
To avoid electrical shock, do not open the cabinet. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel only.
This Video CD/Laser Disc Player is classified as a
CLASS 1 LASER product.
CAUTION
The use of optical instruments with this product
will increase eye hazard.
As the laser beam used in this player is harmful to
the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
Precautions
Safety
• If any liquid or solid object falls into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• The unit is not disconnected from the house current
as long as it is connected to the AC outlet, even if the
unit itself has been turned off.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if you do not
intend to use it for an extended period of time. To
disconnect the cord, pull it out by the plug, never by
the cord itself.
• Take care that your fingers or other objects do not
get pinched by the front cover of the unit when you
place a disc on the disc tray. The front cover
automatically slides up and down when the disc tray
opens and closes.
Installing
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal
heat buildup.
• Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets,
etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may
block the space under the unit.
• Do not install the unit near heat sources such as
radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or
shock.
• Do not install the unit in an inclined position. It is
designed to be operated in a horizontal position
only.
• Do not place heavy objects on the unit.
• Do not place the unit on soft surfaces (such as rugs,
blankets, or matresses) or any projections that may
block the movement of the front cover.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, moisture may condense inside the unit. If
this happens, playback may not start. When you first
install the unit, or when you move it from a cold to a
warm location, wait for about one hour before
operating the unit.
Operating voltage and AC plug
Before operating the player, make sure that the
operating voltage of your unit is identical with that of
your local power supply.
Models other than Hong Kong and China models
• Models other than the Hong Kong and China models
have a voltage selector at the rear. If necessary, reset
the voltage selector to the voltage corresponding to
your local power supply. The voltage selector of this
unit is set to 220–240 V AC originally.
For Set to
110–127 volts AC 110–127 V
200–240 volts AC 220–240 V
To set the voltage selector, disconnect the AC power
cord and set the selector to the appropriate position
with a blade screwdriver.
• If the AC plug of your unit does not fit into the wall
outlet, attach the supplied AC plug adaptor.
Models for Hong Kong and China
The models for Hong Kong and China do not have a
voltage selector. Operate the unit between 220 and 240
V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Model for Hong Kong
The model for Hong Kong has an AC plug as shown
below. The AC plug adaptor is not supplied with these
units.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
unit, please contact your nearest BODYSONIC dealer.

• Two R6 (size AA) batteries
• Audio/Video cable
• AC plug adaptor (supplied with models other
than Hong Kong and China models)
Unpacking
Step 1
Check that you have the following items:
Notes
• With normal use, the batteries should last for approximately six months.
• Use two size R6 (AA) batteries.
• If you use the batteries incorrectly, they may leak or explode. See notes
below for correct usage.
–Insert the batteries with correct polarity as shown above.
–Do not use a new battery together with an old one.
–Do not use different types of batteries together.
–Do not recharge the batteries.
–If you are not going to use the remote commander for an extended period
of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery
leakage.
–If battery leakage should occur, wipe off the leakage from the battery
compartment, then insert new batteries.
• Do not let direct sunlight or powerful artificial light fall directly on the
remote sensor on the front panel of the player. Such light interferes with
the signals from the remote commander, causing the remote commander to
fail to operate correctly.
Inserting batteries into the remote commander
Step 2
3 Close the cover.
1 Turn the commander
over, and remove the
cover.
2 Check the polarities and
position two R6 (size

Getting Started
Television hook-up
To play LDs, CD-Gs, or VIDEO CDs, hook up a television to the player. Take out the
supplied audio/video connecting cable (yellow, red, and white plugs). Use this to connect
the player to the television. Once you have hooked up the television, set the input selector on
the TV to “Video.” Before connecting or disconnecting any cables, turn off all equipment.
Connecting the player
Step 3
Television/VCR hook-up
Connect the player to the VCR’s inputs when:
–the video inputs of the TV are already used for the VCR or a similar machine.
–the TV has only an antenna input.
When you connect this player using the VCR’s inputs, do not use the LINE IN jacks of the player to
connect the VCR because doing so will cause interference with the sound or picture.
Notes
• Make sure all equipment is turned off before connecting or disconnecting any cables.
• Connection methods may differ; when in doubt about a connection, consult the TV or VCR
manufacturer’s manual.
• If the sound or picture is disturbed by noise, try moving the equipment farther apart.
• Firmly insert plugs into the jacks. A loose connection may cause noise.
• To prevent interference with TV broadcast reception, turn off all equipment connected but not currently
in use.
• If the TV only has a monaural phono jack for audio input, use a Connecting Cable (not supplied).
