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 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.

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.
8
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.
Wait!

Notes
• DO NOT connect the BITSTREAM/PCM 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 BITSTREAM/PCM 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 on, the speakers may be damaged.
Warning
• When you are connecting (via the BITSTREAM/PCM
AUDIO OUT jack) an AV decoder that does not have
Dolby Digital, Digital Theater Systems (DTS) or MPEG2
decoding function, be sure to set “Audio Out Select” to
“PCM” from the on-screen displays
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 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.
