Introduction

Precautions

Notes on handling

When shipping the DVD 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 player. Do not leave rubber or plastic
products in contact with the DVD player for a long
time. They will leave marks on the finish.

The top and rear panels of the DVD player may

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

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

remove the disc and turn off the power.

If you do not use the DVD player for a long period,

the unit may not function properly in the future. Turn
on and use the DVD player occasionally.

Notes on locating

Place the DVD 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
player.

When you place this DVD 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
player away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

Notes on moisture condensation

Moisture condensation damages the DVD 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 player.

E

Moisture condensation occurs during the
following cases.

When you bring the DVD player directly from a cold
place to a warm place.
When you use the DVD 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 player in a hot
and humid place just after you move the unit from an
air conditioned room.
When you use the DVD player in a humid place.

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
player.

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

follow that product’s instructions.

To obtain a clear picture

The DVD 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 player when moisture
condensation may occur.

If you use the DVD player in such a situation, it may
damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc,
connect the power cord of the DVD player to the wall
outlet, turn on the DVD player, and leave it for two or
three hours. After two or three hours, the DVD player
will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture.
Keep the DVD player connected to the wall outlet and
moisture condensation will seldom occur.

Wait!

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, group, or track is assigned a number,
which is called “title number”, “chapter number”, “group
number” or “track number” respectively.
There may be discs that do not have these numbers.

Notes on copyright

It is forbidden by law to copy, broadcast, show,
broadcast on cable, play in public, and rent copyrighted

According to performance of your connected receiver,
select a sound processing option for playback of a

The DVD player outputs these signals in a disc
depressing the frequencies to 48 kHz or 44.1

Off: Select when your connected receiver conforms

to high frequency signals of 88.2kHz or higher.
The DVD player outputs these signals in a disc
as they are.

Notes

• Regardless of this setting, the DVD player outputs high

depressing to 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz; and outputs those of

176.4 kHz or 192 kHz in a disc with no copyright
protection, depressing to 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz.

• If you select “Off” while your connected receiver does
not conform to high frequency signals of 88.2kHz or
