• Place the player in a location with
adequate ventilation to prevent heat
build-up in the player.
• Do not put any heavy object on top of
the player. The unit and the disc may
be damaged.
• Do not wrap the player in a cloth or
blanket during use as it may cause
malfunction or serious accidents.
• Do not leave the player in a location
near heat sources, or in a place subject
to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
sand, moisture, rain, mechanical
shock, unleveled surface, or in a car
with its windows closed.
• If the player causes interference to
radio or television reception, turn off
the player or move it away from the

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.
• While operating, do not move, shake,
or otherwise allow any shock to the

• Use this player in a stable, horizontal
position where it is not subject to
vibration.
• Do not touch the disc if it is still
spinning when you open the lid.
Doing so may cause injury.
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.
Turn the volume down before you start

decoder
You can enjoy multi-channel surround sound by connecting the component via the
OPTICAL OUT connector using an optical digital connecting cord (not supplied).
For details on hookups and settings, see page 20.
Notes
When you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord,
do not set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “DOLBY DIGITAL,” “MPEG” to “MPEG” and
“DTS” to “ON” in “DIGITAL OUT.” If you do, a loud noise will suddenly come
out from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be
damaged.
• When you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord, set
“VES” to “OFF” in the Control Menu display (page 58). Otherwise, the player will
not output the following signals from the OPTICAL OUT connector.
– Dolby Digital signals (when you select “DIGITAL OUT” in “AUDIO SETUP” and
set “DOLBY DIGITAL” to “D-PCM”)
– MPEG audio
• When you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and
output the signals which do not reproduce the Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) effect,
set “DOWNMIX” to “NORMAL” in “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup display.

connector.
Using a receiver (amplifier) having the OPTICAL OUT connector and
6 speakers, you can enjoy even greater real audio presence in the
comfort of your own home.
Note
When a DVD has a sound track with 7.1 channels recorded in MPEG audio format, the
output audio signals are mixed down to 5.1 channels.

Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a CD
• Do not play DTS sound tracks without first connecting the player to an audio
component having a built-in DTS decoder. The player outputs the DTS signal even
if “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” is set to “OFF” in “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup
display, and may affect your ears or cause your speakers to be damaged.
• Set the sound to “STEREO” when you play DTS sound tracks on a CD. (See
“Changing the Sound” on page 52.) If you have made the connections using an
optical digital connecting cord and set the sound to “1/L” or “2/R,” no sound will
come out.
• If you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord and play a CD
with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may come out, affecting your ears or causing
the speakers to be damaged.
Notes on playing DTS sound tracks on a DVD
The signals of the DTS sound tracks are output only when you have made the
connections using an optical digital connecting cord. No sound will be output when
you have made the connections using an audio connecting cord.
• If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in DTS decoder, do
not set “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” to “ON” in “AUDIO SETUP” in the setup
display. Otherwise, when you play the DTS sound track, a loud noise will come out
from the speakers, affecting your ears or causing the speakers to be damaged.
• When you set “DTS” in “DIGITAL OUT” to “OFF,” no sound will come out even if
you have made the connections using an optical digital connecting cord and play
DTS sound tracks on DVDs.
Notes
• If you leave the player or the remote in pause or stop mode for 15 minutes, the
screen saver image appears automatically. To make the screen saver image go away,
press H. (If you want to set the screen saver function to off, see page 83.)
• While playing a disc, do not turn off the player. Doing so may cancel the settings of
the menu. When you turn off the player, press x first to stop playback and then
press POWER.
• The power is automatically turned off whenever,
– a disc is not being played.
