The S (separate) video output connector separates the color (C) and luminance (Y) signals before transmitting them to the TV set in order to achieve a sharper picture. Use the S-video cord (optional) when connecting the player to a TV set equipped with an S-video input connector for the best picture clarity possible.

Notes:

ÁDuring DVD play, the TV volume may be at a lower level

than during TV broadcasts, etc. If this is the case, adjust the

volume to the desired level.

Notes when connecting the optical digital cable

ÁRemove the dust protection cap from the connector and

connect the cable firmly so that configurations of both the cable and the connector match.

ÁKeep the dust protection cap and always reattach the cap

when not using the connector to protect against dust.

Caution for the optical/coaxial digital audio output connector:

ÁDo not connect an amplifier (with an optical/coaxi-

al digital input connector) which does not contain the Dolby Digital (AC-3) or MPEG audio decoder.

ÁOtherwise any attempt to play DVDs may cause to

such a high level of noise that it may be harmful to your ears and damage your speakers.

Notes:

ÁAfter connection is made, set the “Speaker setting” (such as

Yes/No and Large/Small) according to your speaker sys-

tem. (See page 39.) ÁIf the surround speakers or the center speaker can’t be in-

stalled at an equal distance to (or further away from) the

front speakers from the listening position, then change the

delay time setting at the “Speaker setting” on page 39, to

compensate.

ÁIf the surround speakers are set to “None” at the “Speaker

setting” (see page 39), the discs recorded in MPEG 2 audio or Linear PCM will be played back only in 2 channels even when the center speaker is connected as well as the front speakers.

ÁDVDs recorded in Linear PCM/96 kHz sampling in which

“Center Speaker” is contained will also be played back only in 2ch.

Remote control preparation

Battery installation )

Insert the batteries while observing the correct (o) and (p) polarities as illustrated at right.

Service life of batteries

ÁThe batteries normally last for about one year although this

depends on how often and for what operations the remote control is used.

ÁIf the remote control unit fails to work even when it is oper-

ated near the player, replace the batteries.

ÁUse size “AA” (R6P) batteries.

Notes:

ÁDo not use rechargeable (Ni-Cd) batteries. ÁDo not attempt to recharge, short-circuit, disassem-

ble, heat or throw the batteries into the fire. ÁDo not drop, step on or otherwise impact the remote

control unit. This may damage the parts or lead to

malfunction.

ÁDo not mix old and new batteries. ÁIf the remote control unit is not going to be used for a

long time, remove the batteries. Otherwise, electrolyte

may leak which may lead not only to malfunctioning

but also to burns if contact is made with the electro-

lyte. ÁWipe away any electrolyte leaking inside the remote

control unit, and install new batteries. ÁIf any electrolyte should come into contact with parts

of your body, wash it off thoroughly with water.

Remote control operation range *

Point the remote control unit no more than about 7 m from the remote control sensor and within about 60u of the front of the unit. ÁThe operating distance may vary according to the bright-

ness of the room.
