Precautions
On safety
• Caution – The use of optical instruments
with this product will increase eye hazard.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
place objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, on the apparatus.
• 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.
On power sources
• The player is not disconnected from the AC
power source 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. To disconnect the AC
power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.
• Should the AC power cord need to be
changed, have it done at a qualified service
shop only.
On placement
• Place the player in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the
player.
• Do not place the player on a soft surface
such as a rug that might block the
ventilation holes.
• Do not place the player in a location near
heat sources, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical
shock.
• Do not install the player in an inclined
position. It is designed to be operated in a
horizontal position only.
• Keep the player away from equipment with
strong magnets, such as microwave ovens,
or large loudspeakers.
• Do not place heavy objects on the player.
On operation
• If the player is brought directly from a cold
to a warm location, or is placed in a very
damp room, moisture may condense on the
lenses inside the player. Should this occur,
the player may not operate properly. In this
case, remove the disc and leave the player
turned on for about half an hour until the
moisture evaporates.
• When you move the player, take out any
discs. If you don’t, the disc may be
damaged.
On disconnecting the AC power cord
Since this player may read and store the disc
information at any time, always set the player
to standby mode before unplugging the AC
power cord to ensure that the data is stored
properly.
On adjusting volume
Do not turn up the volume while listening to
a section with very low level inputs or no
audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be
damaged when a peak level section is played.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a
soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of
abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent
such as alcohol or benzine.
On cleaning discs
Do not use a commercially available cleaning
disc. It may cause a malfunction.

Caution: This player is capable of holding a
still video image or on-screen display image
on your television screen indefinitely. If
you leave the still video image or on-screen

DVD-Rs or CD-Rs/CD-RWs
Some DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs/DVDRs or CD-Rs/CD-RWs cannot be played on this

instructions for the recording device. Note that
some playback functions may not wo rk with some
DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs, even if they have been

• Music discs encoded with copyright protection
technologies
This product is designed to playback discs that
conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard.
Recently, various music discs encoded with
copyright protection technologies are marketed
by some record companies. Please be aware that
among those discs, there are some that do not
conform to the CD standard and may not be
playable by this product.
Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which
mates DVD recorded material on one side
with digital audio material on the other side.
However, since the audio material side does
not conform to the Compact Disc (CD)
standard, playback on this product is not
guaranteed.
Note on playback operations of
DVDs and VIDEO CDs
Some playback operations of DVDs and
VIDEO CDs may be intentionally set by
software producers. Since this player plays
DVDs and VIDEO CDs according to the disc
contents the software producers designed,
some playback features may not be available.
Also, refer to the instructions supplied with
the DVDs or VIDEO CDs.

To connect to a TV with DVI input
Use an HDMI-DVI converter cord (not supplied). The DVI jack will not accept any audio
signals, so you have to use another audio connection in addition to this connection (page 20).
Furthermore, you cannot connect the HDMI OUT jack to DVI jacks that are not HDCP
compliant (e.g., DVI jacks on PC displays).
To change the aspect ratio for the connected TV
Depending on the disc and the TV type (standard 4:3 screen TV or wide screen TV), the image
may not fit the TV screen. If this happens, change the aspect ratio (page 70).
z Hint
If your TV has a CONTROL S jack, you can control the player by operating the remote toward
the TV. This feature is convenient when you placed the player and the TV away from each other.
After connecting the player with other components according to the above A, B, C, or D,
connect the TV via the CONTROL S IN using a Control S cord (not supplied). Refer to the
instructions supplied with the TV to be connected.
Notes
• Connect the player directly to the TV. If you pass the player signals via the VCR, you may not receive a
clear image on the TV screen.
