LASER BEAM CAUTION LABEL

When the power supply is being turned on, you may not remove this laser cautions label. If it removes, radiation of a laser may be recceived.

PREPARATION OF SERVICING

Pickup Head consists of a laser diode that is very susceptible to external static electricity. Although it operates properly after replacement, if it was subject to electrostatic discharge during replacement,

its life might be shortened. When replacing, use a conductive mat, soldering iron with ground wire, etc. to protect the laser diode from damage by static electricity.

And also, the LSI and IC are same as above.

Ground conductive wrist strap for body.

Soldering iron with ground wire or ceramic type

Conductive mat

The ground resistance between the ground line and the ground is less than 10W.

Introduction

Precautions

Notes on handling

When shipping the DVD video player, the original

shipping carton and packing materials come in handy.

For maximum protection, repack the unit as it was

originally packed at the factory.

Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near

the DVD video player. Do not leave rubber or plastic

products in contact with the DVD video player for a

long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

The top and rear panels of the DVD video player may

become warm after a long period of use. This is not a

malfunction.

When the DVD video player is not in use, be sure to

remove the disc and turn off the power.

If you do not use the DVD video player for a long

period, the unit may not function properly in the

future. Turn on and use the DVD video player

occasionally.

Notes on locating

Place the DVD video player on a level surface. Do not

use it on a shaky or unstable surface such as a

wobbling table or inclined stand. The loaded disc may

come off the proper position and cause damage to

the DVD video player.

When you place this DVD video player near a TV,

radio, or VTR, the playback picture may become poor

and the sound may be distorted. In this case, place

the DVD video player away from the TV, radio, or

VTR.

Notes on cleaning

Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.

For stubborn dirt, soak the cloth in a weak detergent

solution, wring well and wipe. Use a dry cloth to wipe

it dry.

Do not use any type of solvent, such as thinner and

benzine, as they may damage the surface of the DVD

video player.

If you use a chemical saturated cloth to clean the unit,

follow that product’s instructions.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD video player is a high technology, precision

device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts

are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes

poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular

inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts

replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on

the operating environment. For details, contact your

nearest dealer.

Notes on moisture condensation

Moisture condensation damages the DVD video

player. Please read the following carefully.

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you

pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of

water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way,

moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens

inside this unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of

the DVD video player.

Moisture condensation occurs during the

following cases.

When you bring the DVD video player directly from a

cold place to a warm place.

When you use the DVD video player in a room where

you just turned on the heater, or a place where the

cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

In summer, when you use the DVD video player in a

hot and humid place just after you move the unit from

an air conditioned room.

When you use the DVD video player in a humid place.

Do not use the DVD video player when moisture

condensation may occur.

If you use the DVD video player in such a situation, it

may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the

disc, connect the power cord of the DVD video player

to the wall outlet, turn on the DVD video player, and

leave it for two or three hours. After two or three

hours, the DVD video player will have warmed up and

evaporated any moisture. Keep the DVD video player

connected to the wall outlet and moisture

condensation will seldom occur.

benzine, commercially available cleaners or antistatic

spray for vinyl LPs. It may damage the disc.

On storing discs

Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight

or near heat sources.

Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and

dust such as a bathroom or near a humidifier.

Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing

objects on discs outside of their case may cause

warping.

. Otherwise, high volume sound may damage your hearing as well as the speakers.

• When playing DTS-encoded discs (DVD video discs and audio CDs), excessive noise may be output from the analog

stereo jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, you should take proper precautions when the ANALOG

AUDIO OUT (L/R) jacks of the DVD video player are connected to an amplification system. To enjoy DTS Digital

Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must be connected to the

BITSTREAM/PCM AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video player.

AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video player.

• Connect the BITSTREAM/PCM AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video player to the “OPTICAL” or “COAXIAL” input of a Receiver

or Processor.

• Refer to the owner’s manual of the connected equipment as well.

• When you connect the DVD video player to other equipment, be sure to turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment

from the wall outlet before making any connections.

• The output sound of the DVD video player has a wide dynamic range. Be sure to adjust the receiver’s volume to a moderate

listening level. Otherwise, the speakers may be damaged by a sudden high volume sound.

• Turn off the amplifier before you connect or disconnect the DVD video player’s power cord. If you leave the amplifier power

noise depends on the TV you use with this DVD video player, you should generally

reduce the sharpness adjustment on your TV when viewing DVD video discs.
