Precautions
Notes on Discs
On safety
• Caution - The use of optical instruments with this product
will increase eye hazard.
• 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
(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. To
disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.
• Should the AC power cord (mains lead) 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 on the bottom.
• Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in
a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical shock.
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 fumed on for about half an
hour until the moisture evaporates.
On adjusting volume
• Do not turn up the volume while listening to a portion with
very low level inputs or no audio signals. If you do, the
speakers may be damaged when a peak level portion 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 handling discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not
touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc, remove
the glue completely before using the disc.
Not this way
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources
such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct
sunlight as there can be considerable rise in temperature
inside the car.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
On cleaning
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe
the disc from the center out.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl
LPs.

center and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural.
DVD (page 4)
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures
even though its diameter is the same as a CD.
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided
DVD, at 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD.
Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and
single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double
sided DVD 9.4 GB, and a dual-layer and double-sided
DVD 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the
worldwide standards of digital compression
technology. The picture data is compressed to about
1 /40 of its original size. The DVD also uses the variable
rate coding technology that changes the data to be
allocated according to the status of the picture.
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital (AC-3) as
well as in PCM, allowing you to enjoy more real audio
presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the
multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental Control
