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 via the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors even if “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” is set to “OFF” 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 31.) If you set the sound to “1/L” or “2/R,” no sound will come from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors.

• If you play a CD with a DTS sound track, a loud noise may come out from the AUDIO OUT connectors, 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 from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors only. No sound will be output from the AUDIO OUT connectors.

• If the player is connected to an audio component lacking a built-in DTS decoder, do not set “DTS” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “ON” 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 “AUDIO SETUP” to “OFF,” no sound will come out from the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and COAXIAL connectors even if you 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. It will also appear if you play back a CD for more than 15 minutes. To make the screen saver image go away, press H. (If you want to set the screen saver function to off, see page 60.)

• If you don‘t operate the player or the remote for more than 30 minutes when a disc is not being played, the player automatically enters standby mode. (Auto Power Off function)

Enjoying Karaoke

This chapter describes how to play discs in karaoke mode and how to use the various karaoke features .

Using Karaoke

You can enjoy karaoke (singing along with a disc) by setting this player to karaoke mode. You can connect up to two microphones (not supplied) to the player.

Setting the player to karaoke mode

The player enters karaoke mode when a microphone is plugged into the MIC 1 or 2 connector.

The player exits from karaoke mode when you disconnect the microphones from both of the MIC 1 and 2 connectors. You may also switch karaoke mode on or off by pressing KARAOKE MODE on the remote. The KEY CONTROL button indicators light up when the player is in karaoke mode.

When you turn the karaoke mode on with DVDs or Super VCDs, the karaoke play is performed with the audio channel you selected in “AUDIO” of the Control Menu display. With CDs or VIDEO CDs, the “AUDIO” setting automatically changes to “1/L” so that only the accompaniment is played when you turn the karaoke mode on. If the vocal audio is heard with some discs, select the audio channel for the karaoke play in “AUDIO” of the Control Menu display (page 31).

Notes on karaok e mode

• You cannot use the karaoke function with the DIGITAL OUT connectors.

• You cannot use the Program Play function in karaoke mode.
