Recommended Measures for Optimum Picture Ex-

cellence

This unit is a precision device that is constructed using ex-

tremely accurate technology.

Soiling or friction affecting the pickup lens or disc drive can

impair the image quality. At the worst, neither video nor audio

will be played back. To obtain optimum picture quality, the

player should be checked (cleaning and replacement of some

parts) every 1,000 hours. Note that this period varies de-

pending on the environment (temperature, humidity, dust,

ect.) in which the player is used.

Do not attempt to clean the pickup lens yourself.

Condensation

Moisture may form on the pickup lens in the following condi-

tions:

• Immediately after a heater has been turned on.

• In a steamy or very humid room.

• When the unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment

to a warm one.

If moisture forms inside this unit, it may not operate properly. In

this case, turn on the power and wait about one hour for the

moisture to evaporate.

Selecting the dynamic rangeSelecting the dynamic range

Selecting the dynamic range

Selecting the dynamic rangeSelecting the dynamic range

In many listening situations, it is objectionable to allow the sound

to become very loud, and thus the loudest sounds must be

compressed downwards in level. Likewise, the very quiet

sounds would be inaudible and must be brought upwards in

level to be heard. Dolby Digital satisfies these needs through

the dynamic range controlling.

Selects the dynamic range compression to fit the individual

listening situation of the audience. The variable range is from

FULL, 7/8 to 1/8, or OFF.

The default setting is OFF.

• FULL: Audio with fully compressed dynamic range.

• 7/8~1/8: Audio with partially compressed dynamic range.

• OFF: Audio with uncompressed dynamic range.

The default setting is SPDIF/ PCM

• SPDIF/ RAW

If the optical or coaxial output on the rear panel is connected with a receiver built-in Dolby Digital, DTS or MPEG decoder, select this item.

• SPDIF/ PCM

If the optical or coaxial output is connected with a receiver

which accepts PCM audio signal, select this item.

• ANALOG

If the optical or coaxial output is connected with any equip-

ment, select this item.

Notes

• If the ANALOG is selected, the optical or coaxial will not

have audio outputs.

• If the DIGITAL/RAW is selected and the audio source is

LPCM

(DVD), the outputs in the optical or coaxial is PCM.

• If the DIGITAL/PCM is selected and the audio source is
