Battery Replacement
If the remote control operates only when it is close to the unit, the batteries are weak. Replace all the batteries with new ones.
Notes
• Use only AA, R06 or UM-3 batteries for replacement.
• Be sure the battery polarity is correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.)
• Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time.
• If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come into contact with
clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

The remote control transmits a directional infrared beam. Be
sure to aim the remote control directly at the infrared sensor
during operation. When the sensor is covered or there is a
large object between the remote control and the sensor, the
sensor cannot receive signals. The sensor may not be able to
receive signals properly when it is exposed to direct sunlight
or a strong artificial light (such as a fluorescent or strobe
light). In this case, change the direction of the light or
reposition the unit to avoid direct lighting.
Notes
• Handle the remote control with care.
• Do not spill water, tea or other liquids on the remote control.
• Do not drop the remote control.
• Do not leave or store the remote control in the following
conditions:
– high humidity or temperature such as near a heater, stove or
bath;
– dusty places; or
– extremely low temperature.

equipped with Dolby digital, DTS, or MPEG decoder using
each specific cable (separate purchase).
■ When connecting the optical fiber
cable
• Remove the cover when using the OPTICAL terminal.
Keep the cover and attach it when the terminal is not
being used to protect it from dust.
• Bend an optical cable as little as possible.
• Use commercially available optical fiber cable that

If your AV amplifier has video output terminals, connect
your amplifier (and then to your video monitor) so that you
can use one video monitor for several different video
sources (LD, VCR etc.) by simply switching the input
source selector of your amplifier.
This unit has three types of video output terminals. Use one
of them in accordance with the input terminals of the
equipment to be connected.
Note
• Do not connect this unit to a video monitor through a video
cassette recorder. If you do so, the picture may not be played back
properly due to the copyright protection technology incorporated
in this unit.
■ Component Video terminal <A>
U.S.A, Canada, Australia and General models
Component video connection achieves high fidelity in
reproducing colors (better performance than S-video
connection), separating video signal into luminance (Y,
terminal color-coded as green), and color difference (P
R, red). Use commercially available coaxial cables.
blue/P
Amplifier (and V ideo monitor) with component input is
required. Observe the color of each terminal when connecting. If your amplifier does not have component output
terminals, connecting this unit’s component output directly
to your video monitor’s component input can reproduce
better video image.
Note
• Do not connect this unit’s COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals
to component video input terminals special for HD (HighDefinition) TV .
B,
10
■ S-Video terminal <B>
S (separate) video connection achieves a clearer picture than
composite video connection by separating color and
luminance when transmitting signals. Use commercially
available S-video cable. Amplifier (and Video monitor) with
S-video input is required.
■ Composite Video terminal (1, 2) <C>
Use RCA video cable supplied with this unit when
connecting this unit to a video monitor.
VIDEO 1, 2 terminals of VIDEO OUT output the same
signal. You can connect one to your amplifier’s input using
supplied RCA cable, and the other to another amplifier or a
video monitor.
