Precautions

Notes on handling

Notes on moisture condensation

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. Take care not to give it a shock or shake when carrying.

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 VCR, 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 VCR.

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.

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.

Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound deterioration. Wipe the disc from the center outwards with a soft cloth. Always keep the disc clean.

If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry cloth.

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

Each title, chapter or track is assigned a number, which is called “title number”, “chapter number” or “track number” respectively.

There may be discs that do not have these numbers.

Notes

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

When you connect the DVD video player to your TV, be sure to turn off the power and unplug both units from the wall outlet before making any connections.

If your television set has one audio input, connect the left and right audio outputs of the DVD video player to a Y cable adapter (not supplied) and then connect to your TV.

Connect the DVD video player directly to your TV. If you connect the DVD video player to a VCR, TV/VCR combination or video selector, the playback picture may be distorted as DVD video discs are copy protected.

Analog audio out will not have sound if DTS playback is selected.

16

Interlaced outputs

Some TVs or monitors are equipped with component video inputs. Connecting to these inputs allows you to enjoy higher quality picture playback.

Actual labels for component video inputs may vary depending on the TV manufacturer. (ex. Y, R-Y, B-Y or Y, CB, CR)

In some TVs or monitors, the color levels of the playback picture may be reduced slightly or the tint may change. In such a case, adjust the TV or monitor for optimum performance.

Progressive outputs

Some TVs or monitors are equipped with component video inputs that are capable of reproducing a progressively scanned video signal. Connecting to these inputs allows you to view the highest quality pictures with less flicker.

Consumers should note that not all high definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch the connection to the “standard definition” output. If there are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with this model 525p DVD player, please contact our Customer Service Center.

Notes

DO NOT connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video player to the AC-3 RF input of a

Dolby Digital Receiver. This input on your A/V Receiver is reserved for Laserdisc use only and is incompatible with the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video player.

Connect the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the

DVD video player to the “DIGITAL (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 on, the speakers may be damaged.

Warning

When you are connecting (via the COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack) an AV decoder that does not have Dolby Digital, Digital Theater Systems (DTS) or MPEG2 decoding function, be sure to set “Digital Output” to

“PCM” from the on-screen displays 50 55 . Otherwise, high volume sound may damage your hearing as well as the speakers.

When playing DTS-encoded discs (audio CDs), excessive noise may be output from the analog audio output jacks. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, you should take proper precautions when the analog audio output 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 COAXIAL DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack of the DVD video player.

Connecting to an amplifier equipped with a Dolby Digital decoder

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the surround sound technology used in theaters showing the latest movies, and is now available to reproduce this realistic effect in the home. You can enjoy motion picture and live concert DVD video discs with this dynamic realistic sound by connecting the DVD video player to a 6 channel amplifier equipped with a Dolby Digital decoder or Dolby Digital processor. If you have a Dolby Surround Pro Logic decoder, you will obtain the full benefit of Pro Logic from the same DVD movies that provide full 5.1-channel Dolby Digital soundtracks, as well as from titles with the Dolby Surround mark.
